I hate to rain on your parade, but Combustion theory, Nuclear Chemistry, solid-state physics and nuclear science are not related to evolution and at best are only peripherally related to the age of the Earth (i.e. they are related to decay of radioactive elements).

And I hate to dowse the fires of hatred you all have for YEC scientists but please read the top of my post and see I clearly clearly clearly used the words this was a test post to see if I can cut and paste from that particular website. It really is bad taste when you guys switch, swerve and read only portions of a post aso you go off half cocked.

Well then, now that you know you can cut-and-paste, how about some scinetists in relevent fields, their work, and why it's been rejected?

nolidad, look, Gluadys and Random_guy are trying to help you. What you're saying doesn't make any sense. For theological points, what you are arguing is not the view held by the orthodoxy. For scientific points, what you are arguing goes against what those of us in the scientific community have experienced to be the case with regard to journals and such.

There's really no need to berate other people, here.

Well I am not trying ot berate them as they do backhandedly. as for the theological points I care not a whit what orthodioxy says!

Orthodox sects have declared it is biblical to be in a homosexual relationship and to deny the physical resurrection of Jesus is within the mainstream of orthodoxy. I care what Scriptures speak to. Not a consensus. As for Journals that post is coming shortly.

Kerr Metric Writes:


Remember the difference nolidad, you read websites I actually do the work. that alone is a big difference, believe it or not.

Well I am still waiting for you to say where you did your postgraduate education. And what work have you performed that has given empirical evidence for evolution???

Look at the research they do. Their college majors is immaterial though hydraulic engineering and animal husbandry are a joke in this context.

hydrology is vastly important in showing the evidential results of flood catastrophe.

An8imal usbandry is a great toll in disproving evolution (besides actually using science to benefit people in the here and now)

You can either do the work or get off the pot!

So if you do nt worl on evolution you can't criticize it??? Well if you do nt do creation science dont criticize it either :p


Scholar in training writes:

I don't think so. The question is examined with a method similar to scriptura scripturam interpretar. We look at the other parts of the Gospel in question or other writings by the author to determine why he may have left out some names. In St. Luke's case, we know that a focus of his was universality of the Gospel. That's why his genealogy linked back to Adam.

Well that was my mistake for I was referring to the lists in Genesis up to the dispersion after Babel. as for Jesus geneologies they are complete as far as family lineage goes. Onew from Josephs side and one from MArys.

That site is a little difficult to navigate; do you know the exact URL of the page that discusses the genealogies?

Actually it is a manuscripot to purchase ( a couple of bucks at most) He is a slef supporting ministry and raises hois funds through the sale of his literature and tapes.

Kerr Metric writes:

No they are not researching. Where is the beef?
Nice backhanded segregationist comment. Funny how the real segregationists tended to be fundamentalist/literalist types.

Well by your snobbish criteria; 85% of all research done by scientists is not "research" cause it ain't done inthe right place by the approved heirarchy.

You are so owned in this debate it has ceased to be even amusing. You posted a list I destroyed. You have a few clowns moonlighting on the side or people who just don't do any research. And that is obvious to anyone except someone trying desperately to maintain a facade of credibility.

Patience oh snobby one--your answer is coming though you will reject it for it aint done on the right place .

Is that clear enough for you?

Well as you segragate "proper qualifications" in a way to make any but you rside the king I agree!! But now what top univewrsity are you emplyed at and what research have you published in the proper journals to accrditate your self as you are willing ot condemn these folks?? Or you just another crackpot like you accuse these men and women of ???

But show me one of your "respected" journals or "respected" universities that will fund creation research???? I'll wait but not hold my breath for you to give me an answer. We both know that none of you r"respected" universities or publications would dare post pro YEC science research nor fund it!

Where is the work? Where is it nolidad? As I said before, do it or get off the pot!

Patience Ceaser and you will see oh yee of the superior intellect.

Nice bait and switch. The reason I criticised the ones that work in industry is because their work is totally irrelevant to this debate.
Your problem is that you cannot read a published paper/work experience list and actually understand how the work is or is not relevant.

No what I was psoting is the fact that these men and women are bonafide scientists doing bona fide research. Bu tpatience ye of the superior breed and you will get a list of their research work!

The irony of being accused of goalpost moving by you is hilarious. My position, as others on here will attest, has been very consistent. You provided a list of questionable scientists who either don't do applicable research, don't publish it or just are very strangely silent.

Flattery will get you nowhere!!:D

Those list were to the original statemetn that YEC folks were not real scientists. You keep adding more and more and more qualifications. I do have many other things to do with my life than to keep up with your ever increasing list of demands oin these peoples work records. But patience my Einstein wannabe the list is coming!! But I tell every one right now yo uwill reject it as "real:" research because it is not done in the "proper" educational facility!

If they did then they are delusional.
:sleep: :sleep:

Because they don't do any work. How many times do we have to tell you this - literature search + polemic is NOT research. Do you understand the words I am typing?

They don't do any work??? Maybe you should tell all th eir emplyers and get them fired and stopp fleecing people then. Boy you really are afflicted with a sense of self superiority aren't you ??

LOL. Again your lack of understanding is evident. I even told you what the work was on yet somehow you cannot figure the relevance. Go figure redux!

Well smokescreening your qualifications won't work. The question was did you have anything published and your answer was sort of so I followed up with the question did you or didn't you. I repeat the question what original works based on you roriginal research have you published approved works in journals on. Sort of doesn't make muster.

Look, we have all seen the lists with Newton. But that was 400 years ago. I knew (and every freshman physics student at a good university) more physics/mathematics at 14 years of age than Newton ever did and access to far more experimental results that he couldn't even dream off.

Well as I wasn't even thinking about Newton you r answer was an exercise in nothingness.

Notice how most of them, even the engineer types are not at MIT or Imperial College and similar schools but at some much lower tier school. In other words they suck in the obscure fields they actually work in.

You rbigoted snobbery really places you at around a fourth grade level! We know we know Teaching and working and attending other than you rapproved upper crust list of schools makes one less than you but pleasde isn't you r arm sore yet from all that self pattingon the back???

nolidad, show me one department chair of any major/prestigious school who is a crank creation scientist? Just one.

I couldn't cause I don't think any creation scientists weho tach in a college is a crank. But I know you do as well as your kin in talkorigin and the other websites of that ilk.

You are being dishonest. Show me the faculty/department chairs in the sciences pertaining to Creation/Evolution debate at those schools. THAT IS WHAT WAS BEING DEBATED. You claimed that such people were at major schools.

No that was simply a fact stated which you have now made what was teh centerpiece of this debate! I said that these men and woman taught at major colleges (and minor ones as well) and chair departments. YOu made the presumptive leap or demand the presumptive leap that they must chair a department at one of you r" accpeted schools". Once agasin you take a statemetn of mine and expand it far far beyond what I wrote it to. People with reasonable conversational skills who aren't as biased and filled with animosity as you would not make such a presumptive leap.

How did you generate that list and somehow construe I said they were podunk?

Cause you keep berating YEC scientists and their education and their research and where they teach. I thought I would just post the list to show these people are well educated and not the baffoons you keep implying they are. But patience their reseach will be posted and I will narrow down the list to yet another of your demands. But sorry none of them are teaching evolution or reseaching evolution. So I know that autodisqualoifies them with you.

again, all ICR, AIG and all the rest have to do to prove their point that they can not get funding or their papers published is to post their funding proposals and papers to their websites with the rejection notices.

where are all these rejected good creationist papers? what a publicity coup they are missing by not doing this. it would prove to everyone that they are unjustly being kept out of the discussion, that they do world class research and if only they had the audience everyone would be astonished at the value of their theories......

You're making a very significant accusation, here. If, indeed, the researchers were totally ignored, this is a serious issue. Does AiG have the papers online that the researchers submitted to which the conferences never responded? I don't know for certain, but there may be a legal case to be made. Can you provide links?

As I said before I am not the keeper of the manuscripts, butr if you are serious, you can write the various creation orgs and see if they still retain the returned manuscripts.

The number of papers is a one way to measure the amount of research. What's wrong with that assessment? Scientists do research so that they can discover new theories, but it does them no good if no one knows about the research. By publishing their work, it allows other people to criticize it, study it, and build ontop of it. Where are the papers published about Creationism that are in peer reviewed journals (which, appearantly, are owned by evolutionists, who also control the National Academy of Science, Nobel Foundation, every single academic journal including historical journals, and every single accreditted university)?

Now I am asking for a real honest answer. How many papers do you really think will be favourably reviewed by trhe secualr review boards that are creationist in content?? C'mon be honest with the answer!


Gwenfur beofre I forget happey thirty sixth as well! Forgive my lapse of manners. Many many happey more!!! Boy would I like to go and visit my 36th again!!

Well at long last some lists showing where these second tied YEC scientists are teaching (cause I know working outside of academia doesn't count with Kerr as being able to comment on the creation/evolution debate) and a list of but a few research projects going on.

I was referring to Jesus' genealogies as an example. There are other truncated genealogies in the Bible. However, I think it is quite clear that Jesus' genealogies are not "complete" in the sense that they list every ancestor in Joseph's and Mary's line.

. . .

I really, honestly don't know how many papers would be favorably reviewed. But you have asserted that they used to submit and were rejected. If you truly understand how important this peer-review process is, you will cite the rejected papers and letters. The only reason I don't think they exist is because they would be the single greatest asset AiG has in making its case to the scientific and Christian communities. These papers, coupled with the biased rejection letters would be all the support you'd need of an anti-creation conspiracy. It wouldn't single-handedly legitimize creationism, but it would be a significant step.

I was referring to Jesus' genealogies as an example. There are other truncated genealogies in the Bible. However, I think it is quite clear that Jesus' genealogies are not "complete" in the sense that they list every ancestor in Joseph's and Mary's line.


Sorry, but I'm not going to buy a manuscript to a question I already know the answer to.

Well the complete family tree of course not, but the direct parental lineage-- yes. the theories calling htem incomplete are very circumstantial and ethereal of their facts.

Too bad you wont buy the manuscipt, it is inexpensive and a greatr read by an expert Jewish historian.

Before I forget:

I asked quite a few pages ago from someone (I think the lady kate or gluadys) to post me ten proven beneficial mutations that were conclusively shown to be true mutations and not preexistent variation in the genome of the species.

Immunities do not count for nearly all sentient creatures have some sort of immuno fighting system that allows it to develop resistence to attacks on its life.

Why don't they count? You are aware that the immunity system requires mutations in order to confer immune response against a variety of different pathogens(look up MHC alleles). Also, from you post, what do you mean by sentient? The immune response requires no thinking, it boils down to chemistry.

As I said before I am not the keeper of the manuscripts, butr if you are serious, you can write the various creation orgs and see if they still retain the returned manuscripts.

But you're the one claiming that a bias exists and Creationists do creatae real research in Creationism, and that the only reason why it isn't published is because evolutionists control every single branch of science, every single scientific organization, and every single University.

Now I am asking for a real honest answer. How many papers do you really think will be favourably reviewed by trhe secualr review boards that are creationist in content?? C'mon be honest with the answer!

As long as a paper follows the scientific method, it will get reviewed and it will get a letter of acceptance or rejection. That's my honest opinion. So if these "scientists" are doing real Creationist research, why is it that Creationist organizations can't produce the rejection letters?

Well at long last some lists showing where these second tied YEC scientists are teaching (cause I know working outside of academia doesn't count with Kerr as being able to comment on the creation/evolution debate) and a list of but a few research projects going on.

This is just a partial list of ongoing or completed research form just one YEC org. They are doing alot of related research in the ongoing YEC/evo debate., its just it aint done in the proper labs or the proper schools so it is not recognized by the "elite superior intellects."

If these are real research projects, why not submit them to peer reviewed journals to see if a bias does exist? It's such a simple task to mail out to a journal.

Nonsensical question. Pre-existent variation in the genome is a consequence of mutations occurring in earlier generations which have been inherited. They may or may not have been beneficial when they occurred, but became beneficial due to a change in environmental selection pressure.

The reason an insect already has resistance to a new insecticide is because a mutation that conferred resistance occurred in one of its ancestors and was passed on as an inherited feature of its genome.

So pre-existent variation cannot be contrasted to "true mutations" since it is simply a mutation which occurred in an earlier generation.

Why do you mention "sentient"?

What does this have to do with whether or not a beneficial mutation has occurred?

Do you think the imune system purposefully mutates its genes to meet new threats?

Define "proven".

If a corpse has a hole characteristic of a bullet going through their body, with no other wounds or illnesses, is that proof that they were killed by a bullet?

Biologists see mutations of various types occuring in the lab that leave fairly distictive "signatures".

If a geographically limited subset of a population has a genetic sequence that is unseen elsewhere but which can be obtained via a known mutation of a common genetic sequence that exists in the same place in the genome, is that "proof" enough for you?

For that matter you might want to define "beneficial", is the mutation responsible for sickle cell anemia beneficial?

I have not read this thread thoroughly so the following may already have been covered ...

To answer your question in a general sort of way, any trait that is determined by a single gene has
(total positive expressions - 4) positive expressions due to mutations.
(where I'm using "expressions" somewhat loosely)
My thanks to gluadys for pointing this out in another thread.

To take it another step if there are n genes affecting the trait then at most there were (2n)squared "values" for that trait when Adam and Eve were created.

The following are respected scientists who are highly respected in their various fields who are either not considered "creation scientists" or who became creation scientists because of their studies lead them to doubt evolution and to believe more in the biblical accounts. The names of those who are known as creation scientists are noted as such.

"The theory of evolution suffers from grave defects, which are more and more apparent as time advances. It can no longer square with practical scientific knowledge."—Dr. Albert Fleishmann, Zoologist at Erlangen University. (Flieshmann is not a creationist. He does believe in a "Young Earth".)

"From the almost total absence of fossil evidence relative to the origin of the phyla, it follows that any explanation of the mechanism in the creative evolution of the fundamental structural plans is heavily burdened with hypothesis. This should appear as an epigraph to every book on evolution. The lack of direct evidence leads to the formulation of pure conjecture as to the genesis of the phyla; we do not even have a basis to determine the extent to which these opinions are correct."—Dr. Pierre-Paul de Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms (1977), p. 31. (French Biologist)

"Some contemporary biologists, as soon as they observe a mutation, talk about evolution. They are implicitly supporting the following syllogism: mutations are the only evolutionary variations, all living beings undergo mutations, therefore all living beings evolve. This logical scheme is, however, unacceptable: first, because its major premise is neither obvious nor general; second, because its conclusion does not agree with the facts. No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution." Dr. Pierre-Paul de Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms
(p.88)


"How does the Darwinian mutational interpretation of evolution account for the fact that the species that have been the most stable -- some of them for the last hundreds of millions of years -- have mutated as much as the others do? Once one has moticed microvariations (on the one hand) and specific stability (on the other), it seems very difficult to conclude that the former (microvariation) comes into play in the evolutionary process (p.88) - Pierre-Paul de Grasse , Evolution of Living Organisms

"The creation account in Genesis and the theory of evolution could not be reconciled. One must be right and the other wrong. The story of the fossils agreed with the account of Genesis. In the oldest rocks we did not find a series of fossils covering the gradual changes from the most primitive creatures to developed forms, but rather in the oldest rocks developed species suddenly appeared. Between every species there was a complete absence of intermediate fossils."—D.B. Gower, "Scientist Rejects Evolution," Kentish Times, England, December 11, 1975, p. 4 [biochemist]. (Dr. Gower is a Professor Emeritus in steroid biochemistry at the University of London, United Kingdom, He holds a B.S. in chemistry from the University of London, a Ph.D. in biochemistry from the University of London and was awarded a D.Sc. from the University of London for his research into the biochemical mechanisms for the control of steroid hormone formation. Professor Gower is a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, a fellow of the Institute of Biology and a chartered chemist. He is NOW a creationist. He became one after obtaining his PH.D. in Chemistry. [/I]

" `The theory of evolution is totally inadequate to explain the origin and manifestation of the inorganic world.' "—Sir John Ambrose Fleming, F.R.S., quoted in H. Enoch, Evolution or Creation (1966), p. 91 [discoverer of the thermionic valve]. (Fleming invented the thermionic value or the Fleming valve. He is an electrical engineer and a Physicist. He made significant contributions to radars, and to wireless communications.)

"I think, however, that we must go further than this and admit that the only acceptable explanation is creation. I know that this is anathema to physicists, as indeed it is to me, but we must not reject a theory that we do not like if the experimental evidence supports it."—H. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution," Physics Bulletin, 31 (1980), p. 138. (Dr. Lipson is a professor at Cornell University. He describes his work this way. My research focuses on new methods for autonomous adaptation in behavior and morphology of robotic systems, with broader impacts to design automation and manufacturing technologies. My work uses primarily biologically-inspired approaches, as they bring new ideas to engineering and new engineering insights into biology.

"The hold of the evolutionary paradigm [theoretical system] is so powerful that an idea which is more like a principle of medieval astrology than a serious twentieth century scientific theory has become a reality for evolutionary biologists."—Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1985), p. 306 [Australian molecular biologist]. (Dr Michael Denton, M.D., Ph.D. is a molecular biologist at the University of Otago, New Zealand. He is not a biblical creationist. His books, however, have been used by many creationists to justify intelligent design, and as a result, Denton is the target of numerous attempts to discredit him by Evolution Theoryists.)

"Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."—Bounoure, Le Monde Et La Vie (October 1963) [Director of Research at the National center of Scientific Research in France].

"In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to `bend' their observations to fit in with it."—H. Lipson, "A Physicist Looks at Evolution," Physics Bulletin, 31 (1980), p. 138.

"It is therefore of immediate concern to both biologists and layman that Darwinism is under attack. The theory of life that undermined nineteenth-century religion has virtually become a religion itself and, in its turn, is being threatened by fresh ideas. The attacks are certainly not limited to those of the creationists and religious fundamentalists who deny Darwinism for political and moral reason. The main thrust of the criticism comes from within science itself. The doubts about Darwinism represent a political revolt from within rather than a siege from without."—B. Leith, The Descent of Darwin: A Handbook of Doubts about Darwinism (1982), p. 11.

"Just as pre-Darwinian biology was carried out by people whose faith was in the Creator and His plan, post-Darwinian biology is being carried out by people whose faith is in, almost, the deity of Darwin. They've seen their task as to elaborate his theory and to fill the gaps in it, to fill the trunk and twigs of the tree. But it seems to me that the theoretical framework has very little impact on the actual progress of the work in biological research. In a way some aspects of Darwinism and of neo-Darwinism seem to me to have held back the progress of science."—Colin Patterson, The Listener [senior paleontologist at the British Museum of Natural History, London].

"I feel that the effect of hypotheses of common ancestry in systematics has not been merely boring, not just a lack of knowledge; I think it has been positively anti-knowledge . . Well, what about evolution? It certainly has the function of knowledge, but does it convey any? Well, we are back to the question I have been putting to people, `Is there one thing you can tell me about?' The absence of answers seems to suggest that it is true, evolution does not convey any knowledge."—Colin Patterson, Director AMNH, Address at the American Museum of Natural History (November 5, 1981).

Instead of a bunch of quotes, why don't you cite evidence. You are aware the science works through evidence, not authority. If Steven Hawkings said, "Special Relativity is wrong," scientists would not pay any attention unless he backs it up.

EDIT: Also, Colin Patterson accepts evolution. He wrote a book on Evolution in 1999. Here's a description:

Introducing the latest ideas on how life originated and diversified on earth, this new edition of a classic work provides a concise and engaging summary of modern evolutionary theory. The heavily illustrated book is intended for readers with little or no formal training in science and is an ideal introduction for students. Teachers of biology will also find the book a valuable reference text. Among the features of the second edition: new chapters on neural evolution and gene evolution explanations of the latest theories on the evolution of humans extensive updates throughout, with emphasis on molecular evolution many new or updated illustrations comprehensive coverage, clear and concise presentation --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

In order to be honest, I suggest you remove the Colin Patterson's quotes about evolution. A lot of what he said was taken out of context or misquoted by Creationists. You can find out more here.
