    Creationism VS Public schools

    Yeah, I'll just add to say that in my math courses now (I do upper-divisional proofs classes these days) my professor is brutal if I mess anything up. And I do these proofs in front of the class so it's even worse! My physics courses are not as cruel but still, people can be harsh in these...

    Creationism VS Public schools

    I take it you can divide two integers without understanding number theory, yes? Being good at applying a scientific theory doesn't mean you understand the scientific method; which was the aspect of science that Split Rock was talking about here.

    Scrutiny for Evolution... but what about ID and Creationism?

    Only when you take log (10^1), log (10^0) or log (10^(1/3)) does it equal the values you listed.

    Scrutiny for Evolution... but what about ID and Creationism?

    I can give you 10, no problem. In fact; I'll give you 38. Taken from: http://chemistry.umeche.maine.edu/CHY431/Evolve2.html As for no one being able to name 1000 of them, Hubert Yockey in 1992 came up with this exact figure of 10^92 by using probability/information theory. You do not...

    Scrutiny for Evolution... but what about ID and Creationism?

    Valkhorn, dishonest? He's ripped apart Creationism so many times that, even after I took a year-long break from this site, I come back to find out he's STILL at it! I wouldn't find it odd that some of those links he gave you were some of his own. There is so much evidence against the...

    My Embedded Age Challenge

    Lol. I haven't been on this forum in ages; I come back to find AV1611VET posting the same stuff. It's good to be back.

    The Quran on the Origin of the Universe

    "Stardust", which formed our Solar System, was formed from a nebula, which collapsed and the material from said nebula was what formed things. This was not formed during the beginning of the universe — this nebula was the end result of a star. Stars didn't form at the beginning of the...

    Fallacious pro-evolution arguments

    I'd like to comment on #3. The people making those arguments are essentially forming two different arguments. Yes, evolution and religion do not conflict. One can be religious and accept evolution. However, if we are going to go deep into a philosophical argument, evolution helps make...

    Geocentrism and Relativity

    Who is Hood? Bouw is a well-known geocentrist... about the only one.

    Geocentrism and Relativity

    Here's an example of why Geocentrism is wrong. Newton's Law of Gravitation is universal. Thus, it applies everywhere in the cosmos. Using it we can calculate the barycenter (the common point of orbit) of a two-mass system. The system we will choose is the Sun-Earth system. In calculating...

    Gravitational fine Tuning

    Another flaw is that it assumes philosophical possibility = real possibility, and thus results in people thinking fine tuning exists. What I mean is that, simply because we can imagine that the gravitational could be a different value doesn't mean that value can actually exist in reality...

    The Creationism of America's Founding Fathers

    Wrong. The First Amendment reads: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress...

    200,000 ERVs...

    Except the fact that if things were totally different, you would say "Creationists predict things to be unique for each creature." Unlike evolution, which demands similarity via genetic relation, Creationists can "predict" whatever it is the real world shows similarity or not, making it a...

    It would appear that Intelligent Design is true.

    No, an "explanation" is not better than no explanation. Being wrong but throwing out wild ideas is not somehow superior to reserving your claim until you get more information. And let's not get into this agnostic atheist thing for the umpteenth time. Most atheists do not claim absolute...
