You think that's something, number 43 about the earth's internal heat is based on a calculation by Lord Kelvin. It has been known to be incorrect since the discovery of radiogenic heat production about 100 years ago IIRC.

The answer is: neutrinos. Light, but freakin numerous. Most of the universe's mass could be of neutrinos
No. If neutrinos were a significant fraction of dark matter then temperature anisotropies in the CMB would be severely damped on small scales. Observation is not consistent with this hypothesis. At best, neutrinos form a small fraction of the dark matter.

Which leaves us with WIMPs, AFAIK

It really doesn't matter. These refutations have been show to most of the YEC and even to ones under different names at different times. All that will happen is that All these refutaions will be ignored, as any questions or answers that have been posted before.
then the claims will resurface after a while...

What are you doing here then?

This guy isn't the same creationist as the last one etc. One less creationist doesn't make much difference but neither does or lives so we might just as well refute his laundry list too.

learning about the theory of evolution, finding out what books to read, listening to ideas, enjoying fellowship with athiests, christians, agnostics (all=humans).
that particular person will not read or listen. he is the same as another one who has been told the same things over and over...just a new handle to be called by. others may listen. i'm here for the lurkers.

Interesting thanks:). I found several on the list I had a big laugh over. Ummmmmm by the way, does anyone know if protein is the hereditary material? ;)

YEC Answer would be: It may have been at one time in the past, if God wanted it to be! :D
