I can't remember who said this, but they told me "they would rather die then to see creation being taugh in schools." He then ranted and raved about how creationist always are wrong and everything they say are LIES LIES LIES. Mostly what i hear on this forum is much of the same thing. Evolutionist think that all creationist lie and alter numbers in experiments. Though a Ph.D is sill the same wheather what stance you take. My problem is that they only teach evolution in schools. If people wanna teach evolution, fine, do it, but also say another argument, which is obviously creation, most people believe in one or the other. I find it funny how everything that evolutionist say is Gold, but creationist is just a pile of lies.
I recently pick up a book at the library named "Science and Technology." In this book they hit every important events in science and technology in the last 100 years or so. Upon reading this book i noticed about 5-6 pages soley for evolution. In this they talked about Natural Selection, amino acids, fossils, orgin of humans, ect, things that are talked about here.
One area though got my attention, it was concering Chemical Evoluition and they sited an experiment that Harold Urey and Stanley Miller performed in 1956 at Univesity Of Chicago. I've done serious research prior to reading this about this experiment. The book says, and i quote "This experiment marked an important milestone, because it showed that it was possibl that materials, like amino acids, can be formed by natural process from non-living things." End qoute. This book praised this experiment for almost creating life in a test-tube.
There are many things wrong with this experiment.
1. Wrong starting materials
2. Wrong Conditions
3. Wrong Results
Wrong starting materials: What they did was fill a closed system with materials that they believed had been present in Earth's early atmosphere. They used Methane (CH4) and Ammonia (NH3), water, mathane and a few more. Every scientist will tell you that ammonia would have decomposed by Ultra Vilot Light and Methane 1: would have polymerized (formed chains) and fallen into the ocean and onto the earth’s surface. 2: This would have formed an oil slick from 1 - 10 meters deep over the surface of the earth. 3: This should be noticeable in the sedimentary rocks, but nothing even vaguely resembling it has been found. Also oxygen was NOT used. Oxygen has always been present in the earth’s atmosphere, the oldest rocks have presence of Oxygen. An important source of oxygen on the early earth would have been water photodissociation. Ultraviolet light would have split atmospheric water into hydrogen and oxygen. Thaxton, Bradley, and Olsen’s book The Mystery of Life’s Origin contains a full discussion of this topic.
Wrong Conditions: An electric spark ws used to simulate the effects of lighting. Well this electric spark was used to combine th gas molecules. But, this would also separate them. The spark is much better at destroying the amino acids than forming them. So what they did is they circulated the gases. The gases that fused he kept and the molecules that were destroyed he just cycled them out. He only trapped the molecules he wanted. This weeding out process is obviously not what happened in the early earth.
Wrong Results: First and foremost, the amino acids that formed created both left and right handed amino acids. Anyone who knows anything about amino acids know that right handed amino acids are possible to combine amino acids, only left are used. Only left-handed amino acids are suitable for life. Proteins with right-handed amino acids are useless.
The ultimate by-products of this experient was:
Tar (Toxic) 83%
Carboxylic Acids (Toxic) 13%
Amino Acids 2%
The poisoness conditions were made of TAR, a nunsis of life.
Evolutionist, Creaionist, and Embryologists thoroughly repudiated and rejected this idea, but it is still published in textbooks and taught.
Theres tons and tons are articles written about this subjec, just type in a google search, my favorite though is: http://www2.gasou.edu/facstaff/etmcmull/CHEM.htm
If you wanna hear what noble scientist's say about it go to:
http://www.apologeticspress.org/docsdis/2003/dc-03-03.htm
The experiment was awesome to evolutionist in the beginning, and now, evolutionist disreguard this experiement as false. Nothing went right. In a debate against evolutionist and creationist, Dr Gish was pleased to see Stanley Miller in the auidance. The experiment was brought up while Miller was there. Gish asked Miller if he had any comments to his experiment, miller said "I havent believed in that experiment for many years."
My problem is this book, as with almost every textbook claims that evolution has HARDCORE evidence. This simply isnt the case. I heard soooo many times that creationist made up info and tell lies. Yet textbooks are still praising this experiement as proof of chemical evolution, which isnt the case. This book that praised this experiment was written in 1999, wow. Evolutionist have alot more to lose than creationist if there wrong about intelligent design. Evolution is a dying theory.
Nobel laureate George Wald of Harvard admitted:

"We tell this story to beginning students of biology as though it represents a triumph of reason over mysticism. In fact it is very nearly the opposite. The reasonable view was to believe in spontaneous generation; the only alternative, to believe in a single, primary act of supernatural creation. There is no third position. For this reason many scientists a century ago chose to regard the belief in spontaneous generation as a ‘philosophical necessity.’ It is a symptom of the philosophical poverty of our time that this necessity is no longer appreciated. Most modern biologists, having reviewed with satisfaction the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation, are left with nothing. I think a scientist has no choice but to approach the origin of life through a hypothesis of spontaneous generation"

I dont care if evolution is taught in school, but at least have a second opinion to give to the kids. I will leave with this:
According to a survey of 400 high-school biology teachers conducted by two University of Texas (at Arlington) sociology professors, 30 percent believe in Biblical creationism. Nineteen percent believe that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. The sociologists consider the situation `disastrous.
In two California school districts: Should creation be taught in the public schools?'—89 percent, yes; 8 percent, no; 3 percent, undecided
and.
Should scientific evidence for creation be presented along with evolution.'—84.3 percent, yes; 7.8 percent, no; 6.3 percent, uncertain; 1.6 percent, neither.
and lastly:
U.S.Gallop poll statistics tells us that 61% of people in america believe in creation, 35 % are theistic evolutionist and 4% are atheistic evolutionist.
It will be a proud day when evolution and creation are taught in schools for the children to decide.

Although I cant say much about much of it I can say a couple things.

1) Creationist organizations do Lie. I have even gone over some of their bigger lies. Its rather sad, especially in the case of AIG who claims morals supieriority over evolutionists and then deciedes to lie to their readers.

2) Isnt it nice that science is based on evidence and not popular opinion. :)

3) It will be a sad day when kids are taught blatant lies as truth in science. There is already enough problems with textbooks, to be introducing a falsified theory into them. :)

It seems like your problem is with abiogenesis. This is NOT the same as evolution. The theory of evolution tries to explain how and why populations change over tiime, and that has absolutely nothing to do with where the first cell came from.

And I agree with Arikay....not too many centuries ago, if you had polled people about the shape of the earth, the popular opinion would have been that the earth is flat. And they were still wrong, just in larger numbers. ;)

They used Methane (CH4) and Ammonia (NH3), water, mathane and a few more.

Miller used methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water. Other workers used carbon dioxide. The compounds that Miller generated have also been found in space. I think you must have gotten mathane from someone's misspelling of methane.

You seem to think that experimentation stopped there somehow. Perhaps you should go to a science library and pick up a copy of the journal Origins of Life and Evolution of the Biosphere

http://www.kluweronline.com/issn/0169-6149

or the Journal of Theoretical Biology for examples of newer research in the area.

I doubt that we will ever be able to show exactly how life may have arisen naturally and perhaps it didn't. On the other hand I don't think it is possible to prove that life couldn't have developed naturally and more plausible scenarios are being developed. As has been pointed out, evolutionary theory is not about abiogenesis and evolutionary theory is showing how life diversified from common ancestors.

Also oxygen was NOT used. Oxygen has always been present in the earth’s atmosphere, the oldest rocks have presence of Oxygen.

Geological evidence from such things as banded iron formations indicates that oxygen levels in the early atmosphere were at least 1000 times lower than at present. Here is a recent abstract on the subject

http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2001ESP/finalprogram/abstract_7607.htm

Evolution is a dying theory.

Creationists have been saying this for many years but every bit of new evidence from genetics and paleonotolgy continues to strengthen evolutionary theory. Young Earth creationism on the other hand has been scientifically dead for more than 150 years and data from geology, paleontology, biogeography, archeology, biodiversity and other scientific studies continually serve to bury it deeper and deeper.

Nineteen percent believe that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. The sociologists consider the situation `disastrous.

I think it is disastrous that 19% of people are so scientifically ignorant that they could possibly consider the Flintstones a documentary but it has nothing to do with the origin of life. That is a bit illogic called the false dichotomy.

Science deals with what they can observe. Or if they can not observe the cause, then they observe the effect and try to speculate on the cause to that effect. Even before Science can speculate on if there is a God, and if He is a active force in creation, they have to decide on just how little or how much consistancy there in in our universe. They don't even get past this first hurdle, so how can you expect them to get to where they decide if God is active in the universe today or not.

The first area man began to look into was astronomy, because of it's consistancy. But they can not determine how far that consistancy goes. Sir Fred Hoyle coined the term: "Big Bang" but he actually opposed the theory. He advocated the "steady state" theory - that the cosmos had no beginning but new galaxies were formed as others moved apart. Sir Fred also rejected Darwin's theory of evolution.

They do not consider that God is a active part of their life, and they do not see God as an active part of the universe we live in. They think the universe runs itself without God being a part of it. If they are religious at all, it is a Bette Midler sort of religion, that God is off at a distance watching us to see how we do. They think they are doing pretty good, so God must be happy with them.

So, the bottom line to science is: If there is a God, it does not really matter to them, because they do not see Him as being a part of anything. They think the observable data operates and functions independant of God.

Easy: When scientists lie, other scientists expose them and ruin their good standing (and quite often their career). When creationists lie, even if other creationists realize the lies, there is no enraged outcry, but the most you can hope for is sites like AIG asking people "not to use this argument". More often, though, we find already debunked ad-hoc hypotheses to explain away data and outright falsehoods. These are not adressed by creationists, because that would have them re-evaluate their whole creationISM - something someone living off selling pamphlets, videos and lectures would be stupid to do... ;)

Even before Science can speculate on if there is a God, and if He is a active force in creation, they have to decide on just how little or how much consistancy there in in our universe.
You're building the house starting with the roof. Science can only build on facts, and you don't ask a question like "why are we here?" and expect to "build from there". Bollocks.

The first area man began to look into was astronomy, because of it's consistancy. But they can not determine how far that consistancy goes. Sir Fred Hoyle coined the term: "Big Bang" but he actually opposed the theory. He advocated the "steady state" theory - that the cosmos had no beginning but new galaxies were formed as others moved apart. Sir Fred also rejected Darwin's theory of evolution.
"Sir Fred" was probably too cozy with his own hypotheses and opinions. Serves as a lesson no to hang on to your preconceptions too much... :)

They do not consider that God is a active part of their life, and they do not see God as an active part of the universe we live in. They think the universe runs itself without God being a part of it. If they are religious at all, it is a Bette Midler sort of religion, that God is off at a distance watching us to see how we do. They think they are doing pretty good, so God must be happy with them.
Quit ranting, back to discussion. A score of scientists are deeply religious - obviously, an understanding of how the universe works often serves to deepen the reverance for a deity that is behind it all.

So, the bottom line to science is: If there is a God, it does not really matter to them, because they do not see Him as being a part of anything. They think the observable data operates and functions independant of God.
Some do, others don't. You are presuming that only YECists or GAPists can bee good christians - which is a huge insult to any christian, by the way. :)

i have a question(this probably isn't the right thread but the whole talk of creation in schools got me thinking). i have a friend that used to go to a public school. they some culture week. they had a buddhist and a muslim come in and talk about there religion because it was part of there culture. when my friends mother asked to come in and speak about christianity she was told in no uncertain terms no way. she argued that christianity was part of her culture but they still said no. my question is was this write or not? i think u should accomadate everyone. everyone always says acceptance but that doesn't seem to be the case with christianity.

Before I came to this forum, I had a little bit of faith in mankind that they would know the truth when they saw it. Now I am not so sure anymore. I maybe better off just to go back to pulling the wool over people eyes and grabbing all the money I can get. So I can spend it on songs, dance and women.

It is not that the law is any different for muslims, buddists or christians. It is just that the ACLU is more active to take people to court over christianity, so schools are a little bit more law suit weary in this area.

The door swings both ways, most of the banned books in the school system were banned because they offend christians.

Wow, you guys got off the subject. The point being, all creationist do is LIE LIE LIE, and evolutionist words are Gold, arikay, please state your knowledge of creationist lying. And someone else said that if a scienctist lies his carrer is shot but not in the case of a creationist. Well i bet you the author on this book that praised this experiment is doing just fine right now.

I have done it quite a few times on this forum.

Lets see, there is a majority of what DrDino has up on his site. From the moon dust evidence to the Decay of the Magnetic field. Both were found to be bad "evidence" at least 8 years ago.

AIG still uses the Decay of the magnetic field evidence. They Also give half information about K/Ar dating and Carbon 14 dating so they come up with the wrong conclusion (I believe I just recently posted about their "dating in conflict" paper about c-14 that was wrong).

Is that enough for now?

Either these people are ignorant about what they talk about, or they are lying. Either way it doesnt look good for them.

Of course most creationist don't lie but they often repeat lies that have been told to them. I have heard quite a few of them over the years. From your first post I think someone has given you some not quite straight information about oxygen levels in the archean atmosphere. It was probably not as reducing as Miller thought but did contain very little oxygen.

Some creationist leaders are definitely liars. Kent Hovind's list of lies is legendary. Answers in Genesis and ICR people are pretty good at telling only part of the truth to avoid outright lying while still giving a very incorrect picture of the situation but once in a while they get caught out with some pretty dubious stuff, like Steve Austin claiming he was converted to castastrophism by the St. Helens volcano when he had been writing YEC literature under a different name for years before the 1980 eruption. There is piece on the so-called and grossly misnamed True Orgins Archive that still repeats the old lie that chicken lysozyme is closer to humans than chimpanzees even though cimp and human lysozyme are identical and chicken differes by about 50 residues. I have hear Ken Hamm in a debate with some English scientists talk about the false scientific evidence that was presented at the Scopes trial was evidence that Evolution is a lie when in fact NO scientific evidence was allowed to be presented at the Scopes trial.

The Miller Urey experiments were an early first step in abiogenesis research. They deserve praise as inovative even though they were of course so incomplete as to be only the barest beginning. But let's analyze the quote you complain so much about

"This experiment marked an important milestone, because it showed that it was possibl that materials, like amino acids, can be formed by natural process from non-living things."

The Miller-Urey experiment did show that amino acids might arise in some cases under something like natural conditions and they certainly stimulated a lot further work on abiogenesis. They were important experiments even with their flaws. Do you find it of interest that most of the compounds that Uery and Miller synthesized and some that they could not make such as purines and pyrimidines have been found in metorites and some even in interstellar space? Do you think God created these materials in space or do you think they might have formed under natural conditions?

I see you brought up Duane the debate king aka "bullfrog protein" Gish in the first post. He has been known to tell a few whoppers. He "won" his debates at first because he could put out more nonsense in a few minutes than a scientist could correct in hours. He start doing much less well when people caught on to his tricks and were ready for them. I wonder about the veracity of the story with Miller. It may well be true but I have heard many of these stories from creationists over the years that turned out to be not quite as advertised when all the facts came out.

Perhap God did create the first living cells billions of years ago or create prebiotic conditions that led to the origin of life we can't falsify that and evolution does not require a natural origin of the first life. Perhaps God created life and guided its evolutions as many theistic evolutionist believe. That viewpoint can not be falsified. However, if life arose naturally through a series of chemical reactions, those reactions are as yet unknown and may for ever remain unknown. If you don't know the require reactions or the conditions under which they occured, saying they were impossible is just another form of argument from incredulity.

Lack of a mechanism for abiogenesis does not falsify evolution. Young earth creationism on the other hand has been falsified for more than 150 years. I find that abiogenesis is the last refuge of the creationist who has had all their other claims refuted. Since you have defended none of the criticizms of young earth creationism on the many thread here showing it to be false I must assume you bring up abiogenesis in a desperate attempt to distract attention from the fact that YEC has been falsified by several different aspects of science.

LOL, im amused again akiray, thanks. The only thing that experiment proved was that if you alter an experiment the way you want, you'll achieve the results you want. Everything in that experiment was designed for the result he wanted. The purpose though was completely different: to simulate early earth and having it produce amino acids. That experiment was jerry rigged from the beginning, and evolutionist and creationist both agree. But back to your response on creatioist lying and evolutionist words are GOLD.

Finally, in 1994, a team from Liverpool University in England launched an extensive research Australopithecines. Finally, they concluded that "the Australopithecines are quadripedal". Briefly, Australopithecines have no link with humans and they are merely an extinct ape species. This was a complete fabrication.
There is not even a single fossil verifying that a half-fish/half-amphibian creature has ever existed. This fact is confirmed by a well-known evolutionist authority, Robert L. Carroll, who is the author of Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution, though reluctantly as: "We have no intermediate fossils between rhipidistian fish and early amphibians." That statement was true 13 years ago when Carroll wrote it in Vertebrate Paleontology and Evolution. It is emphatically not true today. More recently, Carroll wrote: "Within the past few years, several animals that are intermediate in time and morphology have been described. Panderichthys and Elpistostega from the upper middle Devonian and lower upper Devonian . . . and Eliginerpeton and Obruchevicthys from the middle upper Devonian."
Or how about the fossils that always come up that prove evoluton true. A missing link maybe. Wrong.
evolutionist claims about Archaeopteryx came from a fossilized bird named Longisquama insignis. The fossil of this archaic bird was excavated in the late 1960s. . . The bird's anatomical features like feathers,hollow bone structure and wishbone are just like those of modern birds. This fact definitely invalidates the evolutionist myth arguing that Archaeopteryx is a "primitive" bird ancestral to all the birds ever lived.
Or how about the experiments that chemical evolutionist performed on chemical evolution. This is failed each time. Each time an experiment seems to be in true, its proven wrong again. The famous philosopher of science Sir Karl Popper made the following statement regarding the dead-end the theory finds itself in on this subject: "What makes the origin of life and of the genetic code a disturbing riddle is this: the genetic code is without any biological function unless it is translated; that is, unless it leads to the synthesis of the proteins whose structure is laid down by the code. But ... the machinery by which the cell (at least the non-primitive cell, which is the only one we know) translates the code consists of at least fifty macromolecular components which are themselves coded in the DNA. Thus the code cannot be translated except by using certain products of its translation. This constitutes a baffling circle; a really vicious circle, it seems, for any attempt to form a model or theory of the genesis of the genetic code."
Oh, and my favorite: Lucy is the skeleton which was discovered a couple of years back and hailed as a significant find in human paleontology. Fossil men can be broken down into three different categories: mistakes, frauds, or possibly bona fide missing links. Or how about Piltdown Man, the jaw being 40 years old, yet evolutionist loved it. Find the missing links guy, evolutionist claim they've always found it. You also have Cro-Magnon Man, Neanderthal Man and Swanscombe Man. These are now considered to be Homo sapiens--modern men. Their brain capacity was actually larger than modern man. Their skeletal features are virtually indistinguishable from modern man. If you took any of these race of men, gave them a shave, dressed them up in a suit of clothes and walked them down Rodeo Drive, no one would take notice. In other words, they are modern men so you can't really consider Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal, and Swanscombe as missing links because they are just like us, just different races that apparently died out some 100,000 years ago. The history of hominid paleontology is a history of shifting charts, shifting theories, and many uncertainties. Simply put, it doesn't fall neatly together into a nice evolutionary package, and it never has. The evidence supports human evolution only because it must, because evolution is assumed at the outset. There is a wonderful quote in this article which I think is disarmingly honest. "Could the new species be the ancestors not of modern human beings, but of the great apes of contemporary Africa? Could the fossil fragments exhumed from several sites be the mixed bones of more than one species? Do the three early hominid species now identified lie in the same lineage? Or are they just distant relatives? Peter Andrews, an expert on early apes and human origins at the Natural History Museum in London sums it up this way, 'It seems to me that this fossil raises more questions than it answers.
Evolutionist claim, "this is the one" and yet time after time, there lies are corrected.
I understand most of these are mistakes or accidents, what i find funny is that these mistakes and accidents are proven as "truth" in the beginning, and obviously gets changelled and proven wrong. The simple fact is that you guys believe, "something" came from "nothing", and creationist believe, that "nothing" was made into something" BY GOD. Did you know stanley miller has continued to prove chemical evolution in his later experiments, and shockly, nothing happened.

"LOL, im amused again akiray, thanks. The only thing that experiment proved was that if you alter an experiment the way you want, you'll achieve the results you want."

Its Arikay and what are you talking about?

"evolutionist words are GOLD"

I never said that. I believe you said that and pretended I did. :) I dont believe evolutionists words are gold, just that they seem to say more truthful things and are willing to admit when they are wrong and correct their mistakes. As I mentioned many of the errors in the 3 examples I gave have been falsified for at least 8 years (more for many) and so I would think they would have made a correction by now, unless they are ignorant, or lying to everyone.

"Finally, in 1994, a team from Liverpool University in England launched an extensive research Australopithecines. Finally, they concluded that "the Australopithecines are quadripedal""

Source please.

"You also have Cro-Magnon Man, Neanderthal Man and Swanscombe Man. These are now considered to be Homo sapiens--modern men."

Where are you getting your information?
Do you remember a story earlier this year that said that Neanderthal Man was a "cousin" to us, but is not part of the Human chain of evolution.


...

Here is a link to info about Archaeopteryx
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/archaeopteryx.html

You seem to be suggesting that when an Evolutionist gets something wrong, it is later corrected, something that I have said if I saw creationists do this with the stuff that is wrong, I would be happy with them.
Thats why I was happy with AIGs "Dont use list" but then they lost credibility again when they continued to present half truths and false information even after the list.

Im not sure I see the point to most of your arguments.

It will be a proud day when evolution and creation are taught in schools for the children to decide.

It will be a very sad day when children are told that they know enough about the current state of scientific research that they can happily overrule the scientific consensus on the basis of scripture. I'm just glad that this isn't the only country where people are being taught science.
