It is difficult to express in words the feeling of need to show respect for the American flag to those who have not been exposed to military service. I, personally, would not choose to kneel during the anthem. And I do believe that it is disrespectful. But hear me out. I am fully aware that...

Trump says Democrats' push for expanded voting threatens Republicans First of all, the statement is wholly inaccurate. States like Washington, Oregon, and Utah perform their voting almost entirely by mail already, and there are Republicans at every level of government office, particularly...

So, everyone knows that the sun rises in the East, and sets in the West. This fact actually causes a lot of issues for flat-earthers, but I wanted to bring up this one, since it involves a bit of word play with one of the things they drone on about....Where is the curve? If you observe the sun...

The discussion was brought up in another thread that if the earth is a spinning globe, then the weight of objects should vary at different latitudes. This is because centrifugal force is stronger when closer to the equator than the poles, a reaction counter to the force of gravity. To...

Video is only a minute long:

So...I have been recently reading about some flat earth ideas, out of curiosity. My challenge is for somebody to come up with a coherent, logical chain of events which show that we would not, presently, have the ability to discuss such matters on an internet, with computers, and all that...

I realize that this thread is not in the right place, but this is where I have conversed over the last several years, and pretty much the only thread I frequent on these forums, so... I enjoy finding diamond in the rough movies. I went to my brother's place the other day, and he and his fiance...

I think Cam Newton is a new species of human being. ;):cool:

In a discussion recently, I was posed a challenge to produce the DATA which supports evolution. The problem with this challenge is that most evolution supporters and deniers don't see eye to eye on certain definitions of key terms, and wind up arguing tangents and misrepresentations. So I told...

Then why are there ANY fossils which have significantly less than half their carbon remaining? The half-life of carbon-14 is nearly six thousand years. There should be ZERO dinosaur fossils which contain even as little as those which allegedly (by certain creationists) carbon date to 22k-40k...

Both sides of the creation/evolution debate claim that the other side can never admit when they are wrong. Well, here's a chance to prove it. I challenge everyone to look back through their posting history, and post links showing where you admitted you were wrong, and we'll see which side most...

Ok, so I realize this doesn't really belong here, but I'm kind of limited on where I can post topics. I'd be happy to move it somewhere else, if necessary, but I'd like to keep it here so that I can get some opinions from the posters with whom I am familiar in this area. So...an event kind of...

Say there is a 45 year old woman who wants to know if she has breast cancer. Given the following statistics: 1. If she has cancer, there is a 75% chance that cancer will show up on a mammogram 2. If she doesn't have cancer, there is still a 10% chance the mammogram will test positive...

Does it bother YEC when they are shown, and have to admit, that a certain claim by YEC apologists is flat out wrong, and yet rarely, if ever, corrected in YEC literature? For example...anyathesword had made the claim that since the half-life of C14 is only 5700+ years, all of it should be...

Ok, so this is the first of a three part series, tackling the "big 3 assumptions" that are often cited as "evidence" against radiometric dating. Those 3 assumptions are: 1. Scientists assume the initial quantities of parent and daughter isotopes 2. Scientists assume the rock being tested has...

Please note that this thread is NOT about polonium halos, nor is it about uranium dating. Any reference to those topics will be considered off topic and ignored. We can discuss those in another thread, if you like, but I want to focus on this topic, please. As Uranium 238 decays through...

sorry, wrong forum

This is a pretty decent quiz: Are you scientifically literate? Take our quiz - Composing about 78 percent of the air at sea level, what is the most common gas in the Earth's atmosphere? - CSMonitor.com Be interested to see how well you all do. No googling! ;)

Hope somebody takes him up on this, and then donates the winnings to a field of science which is completely unrelated to evolution and geochronology in any way... Creationist offers $10,000 to anyone willing to challenge literal interpretation of Genesis in court :thumbsup:
