    This maybe disprove god but what do you think of it?

    Or anywhere else as far as I can see.

    America's future health.

    I still don't understand the reasons why a lot of Americans are so resistant to universal health care - where everyone pays national insurance and healthcare is free at the point of dispense. As I've said before on these forums, the NHS in the UK is really our jewel and no politician would even...

    Evolution is not really a theory

    It seems he has too much belief tied up in intelligent design to be able to be objective about it.

    Evolution is not really a theory

    This attitude of yours is not not very helpful towards people who are trying to help you see that saying "it looks designed" is not how science works.

    Whale with hooves

    The Theory of Gravity seeks to explain the facts as best as we are able to understand them at present. Your statement is nonsensical in scientific terms. Explanations aren't facts.

    Whale with hooves

    And that is exactly what your physics professor meant when he said that a theory in science is never proven. Sometimes there are better explanations for the facts that come along and our knowledge and understanding are increased.

    Whale with hooves

    Sure you can, BUT you must have evidence to back up your explanation of the facts. If you don't or can't provide any evidence then your theory is not a scientific theory - merely an idea or at best a hypothesis.

    Whale with hooves

    Yes, but do you see why a hteory in science is far more important than simple facts?

    Whale with hooves

    I see what the problem is here - like many other non scientific persons, they are confused by the use of the word "theory". In common parlance, everyday useage, theory does mean an idea or guess as to how something works or came about. It's different in science - a theory in science explains the...

    So what does "supernatural" actually mean?

    My experience was with my daughter in the early hours, driving back home (in Yorkshire) when I brought the car to a sudden halt as I saw a figure in black clothes which appeared to be from centuries ago crossing the road. I couldn't make out any facial features - it was only a few metres away -...

    So what does "supernatural" actually mean?

    I happen to have seen what most people would consider to be a "ghost". I certainly don't think it supernatural although I have at this time, no explanation for what I saw. I'm sure that it was a purely physical phenomenon that has nothing to do with separate "souls" etc. Someday we may have an...

    A short quiz about evolution!

    I agree with everything you have to say here DH. Trying to re-educate some of the evo-deniers doesn't happen overnight as you know - it needs to be brought to their attention bit by bit over a long time before the penny drops (if it ever does). I spent my entire working life in charge of Special...

    A short quiz about evolution!

    Yes it must be for some - but as I keep saying it is for kids and for people who haven't had any formal training/education on the subject. Just a bit of fun really. Oh and to let some of our evo deniers have a go.

    A short quiz about evolution!

    Well done for being honest and straightforward about your beliefs, but until and unless you can back up your assertions in your post about evolution being refuted, then that's all they are : assertions. Please present your evidence that denies the Theory of Evolution as no one has managed to...

    A short quiz about evolution!

    And - I meant to add but forgot - the quiz ain't aimed at people who do have a good grasp of the topic.
