Is C14 in terestrial animals obsorbed via breathing or ingestion, or a combination of both ? (follow up question) If its breathing, then shouldn't whales seals etc show the same as terestrial animals, and if its digestion, can diet (ie mainly seafood) have an effect on an animals C14 ?

The bloke who wrote that letter is obviously a heathen, everyone knows Rugby is the official religion of New Zealand.

Hi, I normally lurk here because of all the good science news, I thought this article from today's Sydney Morning herald may add to this topic. Is it the scratchy sand? Does the glare induce headaches? Is it the heat and the flies? Whatever the reason, scientists have discovered many...

Personally I think the The Blount County Board of Education needs to adopt a more democratic voting system. No Board of Directors of a Corporation would pass a motion with only 2 votes for out of 7. They should have a minimum quorum of 50% for a motion to be passed.

Venus & Mars are Roman Gods, not Greek Gods.

"Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are...

It sounds to me that Dr Dino advocates some form of 'Super-Evolution', well beyond what biologists advocate with TOE.

10) If so, how do you change energy into matter? Plants do this all the time.

In regards to dogs, are the Great Dane and the Chihuahua seperate species or the same ? I'm no expert on dog anatomy, but surely they're incapable of breeding naturally.

One thing I've noticed so far is that when some YEC's want to put down Evolution they do so by calling it a "faith" or "religion" ie. comparing Evolution to their own faith is insulting to Evolution.

Einstein said this famous quote in reference to Quantum Theory and the Uncertainty Principle, he did not like the idea that a partical's path can only be determined as a probability, not as an absolute. Einstein went on to win a Nobel prize for his contributions to Quantum Theory, but 60 years...

I think you'll find that the Library of Alexandria was founded @295 BCE, not very likely that Moses studied there.

Depends on your denomination, for Catholics a literal interpretation isn't necessary.

According to Genesis 1:23-27 Man was created on the 6th day, but according to Genesis 2:7 Man was created on the 3rd day. Which should be taken literally ?

The last Thylacine died in the 1936. I'll post this link from the Australian Museum, it has some interesting stuff on the animal and the cloning debate. http://www.austmus.gov.au/thylacine/credit.htm

In the case of the Thylacine, they're gone because humans kept shooting them, bullets are not natural selection. So to bring them back using genetic engineering would be setting the record straight IMO. There would probably be a problem with them attacking sheep which the farmers won't like...

Well I have to say I'm in favour. In Australia we have many introduced species that are pests but survive very well because there are no natural preditors. If for instance the Thylacine (Tassie Tiger) could be brought back from extinction, it could prove to be a solution to the control...

Life imitating art. Anyone seen the movie "The Man Who Sued God" staring Billy Connelly ?

So Pope John Paul II and the vatican are misintererpreting the bible because they've accepted the evidence in favour of evolution ?

It may help if you're aware that "Adam" is Hebrew for "Man" or "Mankind", if you reread the verses substituting Mankind for Adam, things might make a bit more sense, especially if you think of Mankind as a species. Even biblical scholars don't agree on whether Adam should be a common or...
