    Evolution under the Microscope, by David Swift

    Yes, the David Swift book is the nonsense of an armchair dilettante. Breathtakingly inane from someone with no knowledge of the relevant fields.

    What else do I lose if I give up on a young earth?

    No. Clearly you aren't a native speaker of Hebrew. He was providing a rendering of Genesis 1:1 in a modern Israeli accent [probably closer to Kibbutz than metropolitan], but rendered in English vowels. (Do you want American vowels or British? Why do you think one or the other is the standard...

    Prime Numbers, Gaps, Reality and Evolution

    I had a chance to watch the rest of it. OK. It was unintentionally funny. The music (which I enjoyed) fooled me. Yes, it certainly took a new angle (or at least, new to me) of using general observations about unrelated topics to try and deny the overwhelming evidence which God the Creator...

    Prime Numbers, Gaps, Reality and Evolution

    By the way, for the video's classic lie that evolution and transitions have never been observed, here's a website I just today discovered. It explains the many kinds of "transitions" by taxonomic and other types of categories. Easily readable by the average layperson: Observed Evolutionary...

    Prime Numbers, Gaps, Reality and Evolution

    I'm surprised that the video didn't at least try to make a connection between the prime number "argument" and evolution. Only the most gullible would stand for that logic-leap without wondering "Why should the properties of prime numbers govern or inform how evolution should work?" On the...

    Prime Numbers, Gaps, Reality and Evolution

    Is this a parody of creationist anti-evolution videos? By 4:30 it had become such a string of non-sequitar nonsense that there were no reason to sit through the drivel to the end only to be hit by one of those loud "Gottcha!!!" taunts with a laugh track making fun of me for thinking it was...

    Was Noah's Flood 15 cubits above the mountains, or just 15 cubits & above the hills?

    Far too many. We decided long ago to ignore all AV, Dad, and KWCrazy-isms from the main track of our study of young earth creationism because we decided it would be unfair to the creationist movement to pretend that their views are in any way based upon scripture or what the YEC world has...

    Was Noah's Flood 15 cubits above the mountains, or just 15 cubits & above the hills?

    No fire was associated with Noah's Flood. None.

    My final question: Are there any creationist Poe websites's (meant as parody/satire?)

    Does anybody know of any young earth creationist-appearing websites which have been posted as parody, i.e., satirical tributes to creationist arguments? We are looking for what many would call Poe websites, where creationist pseudo-science, "Were you there?" types of slogans, and...

    Creationism, Darwinism and Natural History

    Vine's is not necessarily a "bad" resource but it CERTAINLY should not be described as "above reproach". Let's keep it in perspective. It is a "pop-level" reference tool for non-scholars. It is very incomplete and in many ways outdated. Obviously, you will never see Vine's used in serious...

    What was the #1 MOST SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERY of "creation science" ?

    Straw-man rubbish. No wonder he confuses methodological naturalism of science with philosophical naturalism But he feels better if he is ranting at some imaginary opponent. No. When God's creation addresses questions that God's Bible doesn't even touch, then God's creation is ABOVE the par...

    How do young earth creationists explain the conforming shapes of the continents?

    I don't think KWCrazy has had any experience with people who actually know the text of Genesis. He's never read a thorough critique of his traditional interpretations and so he can't even fathom what is to most of us YEC concepts which were debunked DECADES ago. When one has never heard...

    How do young earth creationists explain the conforming shapes of the continents?

    ' Yes, in some regions, including some river delta regions. And consider that it is possible that some of Noah's land is perhaps even under water today.

    How do young earth creationists explain the conforming shapes of the continents?

    One further point: I already said that HAR means both "hill" and "mountain" in Hebrew. And consider that the only "height" described in the verse which follows was 15 cubits, the height of a hill. But what I failed to add was that many traditionalists have assumed that Noah's ERETZ ("land")...

    Was Noah's Flood 15 cubits above the mountains, or just 15 cubits & above the hills?

    Because it is in Hebrew, I'm prone ot say "HARIM" ----with only a little tongue in cheek, because when we decide between hill and mountain, we are making a distinction WHICH DID NOT EXIST IN THE MIND OF THE AUTHOR OF GENESIS! And if Noah's land was the Tigris-Euphrates Valley, there ARE NOT...

    How do young earth creationists explain the conforming shapes of the continents?

    Oh! I forgot to close with a repeat of KWCrazy's latest taunt. It is one of my favorites. I'll just add one important word to his slogan: "If you ever bothered to actually read the Hebrew Scriptures, you would know the answer."

    How do young earth creationists explain the conforming shapes of the continents?

    Before we get started, I always enjoy a good ol' KWC taunt. So here is the latest one: "If you ever bothered to actually read the Scriptures you would know the answer." --- KWCrazy I agree! But KWCrazy keeps forgetting that Genesis was written in Hebrew, not English: Even the KJV Bible...

    Creationism, Darwinism and Natural History

    That has been explained to Mark more than once, as I recall. But misuse of "creationist" is rather common on these threads when it serves the needs of the moment.

    Where do the flood strata start and end?

    You clearly DO care because you posted on the topic and thought it was something sinister at work. But as to promising to ignore valid scientific information, you are already doing that. So I certainly expect that you will continue.
