Denying something a person knows nothing
about is as about as insensible as believing
what one knows nothing about.
Science is amazing when it comes to creating and discovering things - it terrible when trying to tell us about the past (because of the unknowns and assumptions it has to make).
It more accurate than a book thatScience is one of the best tools for understanding the past, especially in places and times where no one was recording things.
Just add characters as needed.Science is one of the best tools for understanding the past, especially in places and times where no one was recording things.
My belief in that Book made you put me on IGNORE.It more accurate than a book that denies virtually all of life history and says there was a flood.

Comet hits earth and gives us our oceans.
Asteroid hits earth and takes away our dinosaurs.
Planet hits earth and gives us our moon.
A moon attempts to pass the earth and earth captures it in its gravitational field.
The earth's centrifugal force throws ejecta out and gives us our moon.
The moon forms alongside the earth from its own stardust.
And on and on it goes.
Science is one of the best tools for understanding the past, especially in places and times where no one was recording things.
QV please:(1) This should be in the plural - 'comets hit earth, etc.' Also, the D/H ratios of the oceans and of small solar system bodies imply that it was water-rich asteroids rather than comets that hit the earth and gave us our oceans.
SOURCEWhere did Earth's oceans come from? Astronomers have long contended that icy comets and asteroids delivered the water for them during an epoch of heavy bombardment that ended about 3.9 billion years ago. But a new study suggests that Earth supplied its own water, leaching it from the rocks that formed the planet. The finding may help explain why life on Earth appeared so early, and it may indicate that other rocky worlds are also awash in vast seas.
But creation myths are the best to tell us about the past because there are no unknowns nor assumptions ?Science is amazing when it comes to creating and discovering things - it terrible when trying to tell us about the past (because of the unknowns and assumptions it has to make).
I would say the most popular one in the academic world today is the Big Bang model.And there are dozens so people can pick whichever conforms best to their worldview.

Um ... maybe you should read what I was responding to a little closer.In physics/cosmology/astronomy, yes, for practitioners inside and outside of academia.
Probably. They are willing to change their minds though if a better evidence based model is introduced.I would say the most popular one in the academic world today is the Big Bang model.
So I take it both you and Hans agree with me that the Big Bang model is the most popular myth in the academic world?Probably. They are willing to change their minds though if a better evidence based model is introduced.
What a cop out.Ready it yourself and find out.
You can tell time using the pharaohs, but yet the Bible has to come time-stamped?What a cop out.
While you praise posters such as @Hans Blaster for being "very honest and straightforward; and not shy about answering tough questions put to him", the very opposite applies to you.
Why bother. If you have to go to semantics and exact grammar to score imaginary points you have already lost the game.So I take it both you and Hans agree with me that the Big Bang model is the most popular myth in the academic world?
If not, maybe you should read what I was responding to a little more closely.

Still upset about the pharaohs.Interesting how academia can concatenate the pharaohs, but go 404 with the Bible.
Losing never felt so good then.Why bother. If you have to go to semantics and exact grammar to score imaginary points you have already lost the game.
