Btw, if you add the geneologies in the Bible, you get 6,000 years of Earth's history.
ChrisS said:It's actually said that there could be gaps in the geneologies, opening up alot of different possibilities.
Huh? There are gaps in the geneologies? I've never seen them. Anyway, what REALLY matters is that the penalty of sin is death. That's the REALLY important issue.
Because it only happens every 200,000 years and the actual process of repolarization takes a while, giving birds plenty of time to realize where the "real" north pole is. Remember, their migratory patterns are learned (the same way we visually learn the way to the grocery store) and any changes in the magnetic signature of the planet can be accomodated for by the fact that the changes will be too small within the lifetime of a bird to make a difference.[/quote]GodsSamus said:Huh? If it repolarizes, as you claim, why don't birds ever migrate NORTH for the winter?
Your knowledge of magnetism is lacking. Iron does not have a polarity, it is simply attracted to any magnetic field. The Earth's magnetic field is very weak, about 2.5 × 10^-05 teslas on average. In comparison, a refridgerator magnet has 1/10 of a Tesla. You expect a magnetic field several times weaker than a refridgerator magnet to make birds fly off into space?Also, magnets of a like polarity REPEL each other, so why don't animals that eat a lot of iron fly off into space?
Like I said, magnetic field strength of the magnetosphere is really tiny, and it drops off the farther a way you go by a factor of 1/r^2, where r is the distance. The moon is about 400,000 km away, the magnetic field due to the Earth on the moon is neglibile.As to the magnetic field, this would pull the moon closer because the Moon has iron in it. Therefore, it's magnetic. The magnetic field 3 billion years ago would destroy ALL life forms, and a repolarization would send EVERYTHING into space.
Valkhorn said:Isn't lying a sin, too? What about pride?
Seems to me you are reading 'evidence' from people that are LYING about the real evidence. And, unfortunately, you don't realize how much they are lying and how much false witness they are purporting.
You also don't realize how too much pride has blinded you to the truth. You're so proud of your literal interpretation of the Bible that you refuse to think outside of the box, or even consider the other side of the coin that says you are dead wrong.
So how is it that you think you are going to fare well in the afterlife if that is indeed what you believe?

My guess is that you won't back up that statement either...GodsSamus said:Your knowledge of magnetism is lacking. Iron does not have a polarity, it is simply attracted to any magnetic field.

I have a question, though. If it's not repolarizing for 200,000 years, how come we still have it? I mean, it's caused by the hot insides of Earth. However, you fail to understand, too, that magnets LOSE strength over time. 20,000 years ago, the Earth would have been destroyed by the heat of the planet.
...GodsSamus said:Unless the Big Bang occured, why are we here? The atheists don't have a replacement theory based on REAL evidence.
Well it is repolarizing every 200,000 years, so the question is irrelevant.GodsSamus said:I have a question, though. If it's not repolarizing for 200,000 years, how come we still have it?
This is mostly a non-sequitur. The magnetic field is caused by convection currents inside the Earth. There is not enough heat inside the earth to destroy the planet, where would this extra heat come from?I mean, it's caused by the hot insides of Earth.

Evolution only does what science says it should do . So far it hasn't done any of itDJ_Ghost said:You seem to forget that evolutionREQUIRES Reproduction. So you have just claimed that becase organisms do exactly what evolution theory needs them to do evolution is false.

A Freethinker said:Creationism is the single most foolish, idiotic, arrogant, baseless and presumptive stance on ANYTHING existing in our modern world. There is NO proof whatsoever for it, no scientific data even hints at it.
What this is coming down to is the Christians' inability to accept defeat.
