  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Next time, instead of going to AI why not go to a genetics book or website?
AI helps me by condensing information, saving me a lot of time and effort. I subscribe to an AI service that provides summaries of YouTube videos so I don't have to listen to the entire content needlessly. It costs me $10 per month, but if I commit to a yearly plan, it would be $7 per month.

I do not pay for a grammar program to correct my posts because AI (copilot) does that for free.

Most books are a waste of time. The author is confused and does not know what they are talking about. AI will read the book for us and give us the information we want or need. Copy right infringement is an issue but that seems to work itself out.

I guess we're just different then. If I want to learn about something, I go learn about it. That's half the fun.

I fight with AI a lot and I usually win and that is fun for me. Right now I have been learning about the north pole and exactly what it is. Although it does not actually exist. As AI says: It is not an imaginary line, but it is indeed a point that does not have a physical landmark.

Right now I am learning what the Arctic Circle is and what it represents. So at the equator a day is 24 hours. At the north pole a day is one year for the most part. Or for all practical purposes.

Standard Day: Despite these unique phenomena, the length of a standard day in the Arctic Circle is still 24 hours, just like anywhere else on Earth. However, the distribution of daylight and darkness varies significantly throughout the year.

It's fascinating to understand what a 24-hour day means on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull keeps our planet's axis tilted, giving us the changing seasons instead of a constant environment.

Ya -- who packed a WW2 plane under some tens of thousands of years of ice cores?
If your talking about Glacier Girl, she was buried under 268 feet of snow and ice that took 50 years to accumulate. I have no idea where you get "thousands of years of ice cores".

It's amazing how YECs apparently think scientists can't tell the difference between different types of layers formed under different conditions. The level of pride these YECs show really is something else.

I don't know about pride, but I would say YECs need to learn that age is needed to sustain this planet under its current conditions.

From AI Overview:

Radiation from radioactive elements within rocks, primarily uranium, thorium, and potassium, significantly contributes to heating the Earth's interior, as the decay of these elements releases energy in the form of heat; this is considered one of the primary sources of heat within the planet.

The snow compacts over time. Nice try though, you gave it your best shot. I do understand your math. If you have two miles of ice at five feet per year, then you have a few thousand years of accumulation and that would agree with YEC (Young Earth Creationism).

When considering a straightforward accumulation rate, 5 feet per year would result in 12,000 feet of ice over 2,400 years, not millions of years.

The millions of years figure comes from understanding that the ice sheet is a result of continuous cycles of accumulation, compaction, melting, and movement over vast geological timescales.

To repeat. The rate in that part of Greenland is 5 feet a year. So in 50 years, we would expect 250 feet of accumulation.

The difference lies in how ice accumulates and compacts over time. The deeper layers of the ice sheet are much older because they formed earlier in Earth's history and have since been buried by newer ice. So, while 5 feet of ice might accumulate in a year, the total depth and age of the ice are a result of many millennia of accumulation and compaction.

So, despite our calculation suggesting 947 miles of ice at a rate of 5 feet per year for one million years, the actual ice sheet in Greenland is around 2 miles thick in some places due to the processes of compression and ice dynamics. It's a remarkable demonstration of the natural forces at play in shaping our planet's ice sheets over millennia!

You didn't watch the video, did you?

Here -- I'll post it here:


Start at 3:00, where he makes the point that the plane, lost 48 years ago, was found under hundreds of layers of ice cores.

No, I did all the math myself. Isn't Dr Dino the guy that spent 10 years in jail for income tax evasion? I remember sending him an email to try and warn him but he ignored me. I told him the government is not that difficult to get along with and it is not good to try to dispute them like he was doing. Although I was talking more about the building inspectors because I worked with them.

Good for him - it looks like he was right again, and right to ignore you.

His testimony is good. yours? may be not so good.

I guess you and the felon think scientists are about the dumbest people on earth.

I'd ask if you've ever bothered to look into how ice cores are dated and all the levels of detail that goes into it, but I think I already know the answer.

He also abused his wife.

That anyone would still cite him only shows how desperate they are. If they had better sources to use, they would.
