Yes, really. I've not bothered to read the Wikipedia article. (Most are very good articles but some are quite flawed.) What SMIDLEE says about the concept of a "flat earth" is quite correct. ERETZ refers to "land" and "country" (or "region".) It is hard to find any passage that could be...

Excellent predictions! (So much for the YECs who try to claim that "common descent" and "common design" have the same characteristics!)

1) You need to learn the meaning of the word "unstable". 2) You also need to read articles more carefully. And considering that NEW SCIENTIST is the National Enquirer of science, you should also read the original journal articles before getting too excited.

A solid scientific theory makes predictions of what can be expected in various situations in the future. What would creationists say are the TWO MOST IMPRESSIVE PREDICTIONS OF CREATIONISM THEORY which have predicted future scientific discoveries which have later been fulfilled...

Yes. Post #90 would be a good start for him. Another good one is a verification of which much has been written: Visit the Hawaiian Islands. Check on the movement of the tectonic plate (about 3 inches per year) and then check out the path and distances of the volcanic activity. Compare with...

Good for you. Now if you ever get to where you have WRITTEN three books, then we will have something to talk about. Till then, take good care of yourself.

"But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." --- 1Cor 2:15

Yes we CAN know. It has checked out quite well when compared with other dating methods. You really need to get familiar with the peer-reviewed literature. Or even an introductory physics book. Education is a wonderful thing and can help avoid embarrassment.

Your use of the Equivocation Fallacy is NOT quaint. We were talking about body toxins. Drug detox is the process of controlled and monitored withdrawal from DRUGS, not body toxins. Considering that you like to cite dictionaries: Drug Detoxification: processes to reduce or relieve...

In some cases, clearly yes. Some TEs may have arise from frame-shift mutations. And in a few cases Gobal Flood trait was due to genetic drift (that is, genetic hitchhiking.) And for that matter, genetic drift related to an epigenetic trait (Hebrew exegesis) could explain some occurrences of...

And yet Good Brother uses the Comma Johanneum in his signature!

Yes, whenever one sees the word "de-toxify" on a website, you can bet that you are dealing with quackery.

Somehow, somebody misled AV1611VET into thinking that the world's scientific community cares that he refuses to recognize that science is indeed science. Remember, this is the same guy who claims that "Science can take a hike" and "Evidence can take a hike"----and yet he thinks we should be...

I sure did! I knew I was forgetting someone, but I had a mental block. Truly, you couldn't make up a crew like that. I've wondered if the YECs ever wonder why there is no equivalent peanut gallery on the other side of the issue. (Isn't the contrast obvious?) This forum had a posting a...

If education explains the evolution of Young Earth Creationists into ex-Young Earth Creationists, then why are there still Young Earth Creationists? And if education is a linear process, why don't we find any ancient ex-YECs below modern YECs in the fossil record? And I also think that...

No, Dr. Benjamin Carson's Interview at the SDA website is NOT a parody! Here it is again: Adventist Review: Evolution? No. It appears that no Young Earth Creationist has stepped forward to defend it! Nobody??? Volunteers??? How about volunteers to defend the YECs I mentioned: * Ken...

And yet they presume to be teachers!

A THREAD OBSERVATION SO FAR: Is there any doubt that even in the brief course of this thread's history, we've seen one fallacy after another from the Young Earth Creationism defenders? Not only do they not have a basic knowledge of evolution, they confuse it with abiogenesis and...

Once again you've demonstrated how little you know of science. Only in mathematics are things "proven". In other fields, the standard is OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE. (Two-sigma significance is often the standard. Do you even know what that is?? I doubt it.) As to, "Science has not disproven...
