Wait a minute, wait a minute. I'm still stuck on the "circle" thing. It's radius is .666? What on earth are you talking about, Cisco? The radius of a circle can be represented by any positive number followed by any unit of distance measurement. Saying the "radius" of a UFO is .666 is like...

I hate this part, djns9437. See, statements like this show that you really, honestly, haven't a clue what you're talking about. I'll do my best. Theories aren't proven. Theories aren't provable. No claim is provable. Proof is a non-entity. You can try all you'd like, but no claim can...

Eh, even there, it's a generalization. What you'll end up finding is that education correlates to good grammer and spelling, and higher education also correlates to a better understanding of modern science, and therefore, evolution and geology.

Wrong. It applied to all closed systems. Fortunately, biological life on earth ain't a closed system - We have a really big furnace approximately one AU away. :)

Cool by me, I'd request you try to explain why you think carbon (and other kinds of radiometric dating) are inaccurate. But here's my question - How does evolution relate to faith when people of any faith can believe in evolution?

Erm... Technically speaking, aren't all fossils and/or biological entities transitional, effectively? Today the list may be "ATTTT...TTTTH," but in a few million years, humans may just be considered another transitional on the way to homo sapiens novus, or whatever you want to call it. So...

Lyle, I recommend reading your thread again. Two major deconstructions of your argument have been posted, neither of which have seen a response from you. I'd post one myself, but like poor, underappreciated Phantom Llama, I'd have to kill myself. Chi: I believe you are partially correct...

Well, you're in the wrong place, if that's what you wanted. This particular forum is HEAVILY dominated by evolutionists. You want YECs, RaptureReady and TheologyWeb are your friends.

Ah, Pureone, but you fail to notice! A Christian-Only Science forum has been erected, which is indeed, by definition, excluding the heathens. Not very Christian like, is it?

Heck, that's true of practically ANY Sunday school story. Put simply, the stories in the Bible, excepting the NT, are desperately lacking for detail. This, of course, is to be expected of writing from a time when writing materials (and the ABILITY to write) were valuable and rare commodities...

You go, man! *sigh*

I've definately changed my position, albeit merely from staunch evolutionist to ultra-staunch evolutionist. I understood evolution on a theoretical level before coming here, but the sheer amount of data, evidence, and specific case examples being thrown around on this forum has vastly expanded...

(Note: Many Creationists use the specialized natural adaptions of certain creatures as evidence of God's hand in creating them. Spitting fish and bombadier beetles are the favorite choices. Such an argument assumes that these creatures were created specially. The argument for rapid...

My bad. Noah was indeed alive. According to Ussher's calculations, the flood occurred ~1650 years after Creation, which was in 4004 BC. That puts the flood at ~2354 BC. The cataclysm the ice cores indicate date in at ~3200 years ago. So there's about a 900 year margin of error here...

Erm, technically speaking, even if these cores DID indicate a global flood, wouldn't that pretty effectively show Genesis to be non-literal? That flood happened ~4500 years ago, not 5200. Noah wasn't alive at 5200. So not only does this evidence suck for you if it's correct AND if it's not...

WHAT?!?!? [/size][/color][/font]

Write down a forty digit number using only 0, 1, 2, and 3. You now have a very poor representation of the genetic code. Now, under that line, copy the number, but make a change - Either add a digit in a random location, subtract a digit, swap the positions of two digits, or replace a single...

Everyone else seems to have inexplicably failed to snap down on Dr. Feel Good after he asserted that humans aren't born with six fingers/toes. Hexadactyly is a real medical condition. It's not the most common thing in the world, but it does indeed occur. There are several types...

Amazing how ten posts can be made explaining why evolution isn't a theological claim, and then ByGrace can show up and completely forget each and every one of those posts. ByGrace: Evolution doesn't equal atheism. Indeed, evolution makes no theological claims. Evolution explains the...

Sadly, it's not as hard as it looks. First, alter the definition of macro-evolution to mean evolution between "kinds," but don't define "kind" specifically. Rather, assign it some ephemeral definition floating somewhere in the range of Family/Order/Phylum, pushing it forward or backward as...
