To ocean,
I havent seen they're sources! Let me see them and I'll decide for myself if they are any more believable

Really? B-but, he says he speaks "over 700 times each year". Hovind wouldn't lie, would he?

I have done the math on this one, using the data given by NASA. The spindown rate of the earth translates to about 1.5 seconds every 100,000 years. So if you go back about 4.3 billion years, the earth was spinning fast enough that the first day was about 1.5/100,000 of second long. The second day was 3/100,000 second long. By the time the earth got up to where there was 5 to 6 hours of daylight, then Science tells us that the trees and grass began to grow. I have done enough gardening, with putting plants in shade and in the sun. So I know most plants require 5 to 6 hours a day of direct sunlight per day.
The earth spins at 0.5 km/sec.
The earth revolves around the sun at 30 km/sec
The solar system revolves around the milky way at 250 km/sec
The milky way moves though the galexy at 300 km/sec
Presently, the earth's rotation is slowing down 0.005 seconds per year per year (Thwaites and Awbrey, 1982, p.19). At least Dr. Hovind doesn't use the horrendous rate of 1 second per year which Dr. Walter Brown employed as a result of a total misunderstanding of time keeping. I believe that Dr. Brown discarded that argument upon realizing his error, but don't expect it to disappear from the creationist literature. Only a towering optimist could expect that!
The actual rate of 0.005 seconds per year per year yields, if rolled back 4.6 billion years, a 14-hour day. The subject is a bit tricky the first time around, and I'm indebted to Thwaites and Awbrey (1982) whose fine article cleared away the cobwebs.
Let's do the calculation for 370 million years ago:
((0.005 sec/yr) x (370 million yr))/Year = (1,850,000 sec)/Year
= (21.4 days)/Year
Thus, at 370 million years ago, the earth had 21.4 extra days per year.
The total days then per year were: (365.25 + 21.4)days/Year = 386.65 days/Year.
(8766 hrs/Year)/(386.65 days/Year) = 22.7 hrs/day
If you do the same calculations for 4.6 billion years ago, you'll get the 14 hrs/day given by Drs. Thwaites and Awbrey. Thus, there is no problem here for mainstream science. Indeed, the present rate may be too high:
...the correct present rate of slowing of the earth's rotation is excessively high, because the present rate of spin is in a resonance mode with the back-and-forth
motion of the oceans' waters in the ocean basins. In past ages when the rotation rate was faster, the resonance was much less or nonexistent, resulting in a much more gradual slowing of the rotation rate. The most recent calculations indicate that the earth could be 4 to 5 billion years old and not have been spinning excessively fast or requiring the moon to be any closer to the earth than 225,000 kilometers (140,000 miles).

How so? I don't follow.
Originally posted by No gods
Well, Seesaw, it would appear that JesusServant was insulting you by insinuating that you were a crackpot that would be wiped out if you indeed had the power you wished to possess. Apparently though, this insult was rendered "ok" (and even humorous) by his addition of that little winky face emoticon at the end.

Actually there is no evidence of that being the source at all. It seems that HIV in Humans is nearly identical to some which have been found in apes(SIV) but there is NO reason to assume that's where it began. This is because apes got it too, in other words we could have gave it to them as much as they did us. This is one of many species that can transfer some diseases to some other species. The question isn't who had it first or who gave it too who, the question is who gave it to either of us.

Here's another question about the Flood and animals from Noah's Ark.
How did such a limited selection of animals (only 2 of every "kind") overcome the problems of inbreeding (not to mention other all the other detrimental factors, environmental and otherwise) to produce the healthy, diverse populations we observe today?

To Nathan,
O I C, I guess the pro scoffer is just to smart and intelligent like to even backup his own statements against the youngin.. the way to bold little upstart. At least tacoman has some sources, where are yours?
Originally posted by What is a Darwin?
I've been asking for sources in just about all of my small number of posts!

Why don't you prove that God did not create the universe. Then you could collect the $250,000 reward.
