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.

Umm... most handguns don't hold 200 rounds a clip.

Actually, the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, the M60, and the FN Mag, all automatic weapons, hold 200 rounds a belt.

Arguments against 7 false statements that AIG makes (that are also common to many creationist groups).


thanks for the link...will respond in detail but explain regarding somethings:
magnetic field: what mechanism causes the fields to restrengthen?...Besides is it speculation to assume that the rate as we find today may also have occured such that the magnetic field was reduced to such state that all forms of life may have been compromised before the magnetic field mysteriously increased(less strength more solar radiation) ..again is this a case of speculation that the fields somehow must have increased to support the evolutionary mode?l...what we DO KNOW is that there is a measurable rate of decay in the magnetic field...assuming a constant rate, a strong magnetic fields of prehistoric earth may have proven a great challenge to life shouldn't it..

well he seemed to be using Jurasic park as something that evolutionists got wrong. So next he might tell us that unlike in action movies, you have to actually reload most normal handguns after like 50 rounds or so. :)

Well, if you had said "next you're going to tell me that handguns carry 200 rounds a clip and swords can cut through everything" I wouldn't have been so lost.

Welcome. I would say make replies in the linked thread to make it easier :)
To answer what you posted here,


"what mechanism causes the fields to restrengthen?"

I dont know, I would have to research it more. Although it doesn't matter for this discusion.

"...Besides is it speculation to assume that the rate as we find today may also have occured such that the magnetic field was reduced to such state that all forms of life may have been compromised before the magnetic field mysteriously increased(less strength more solar radiation)"

Im not sure I understand this, however, its not speculation that the field has been both stronger and weaker in the past.

The magnetic field does not do as much protecting as you seem to think. The complete loss of our magnetic field would not produce a devastating increase on radiation. For more information, look up the scientific refutations to the science in the movie "the core"


"..again is this a case of speculation that the fields somehow must have increased to support the evolutionary mode?l..."

The Theory of Evolution says nothing about the magnetic field.


"what we DO KNOW is that there is a measurable rate of decay in the magnetic field...assuming a constant rate, a strong magnetic fields of prehistoric earth may have proven a great challenge to life shouldn't it.."

Yes, Assuming.
However, what you have assumed, is not true, as you can see in what I wrote on the other thread. Thus it is not valid.
