We’ve been reading Charles Darwin all wrong

Not unless one has 'miracles' on the brain!

Okay.

It's an example of penguins demonstrating physics.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought heat is the total amount of kinetic energy, and temperature is the average amount of kinetic energy.

Or something like that?

I asked you what does the Bible state about the huddling behaviour of penguins which reflects basic physics.

This is simply the 'Teach the controversy' BS campaign revisited.

I appologise for the misunderstanding.

I wasn't implying that ID and other Creationists have been prevented from presenting all their great evidence to the public school children.

I meant that the scientific evidence for creation hasn't presented to anyone ever... my personal opinion as to why is that it doesn't exist and its proponents don't really care about doing science, just using its trappings as a part of their marketing and propaganda.

If there were a creofact anywhere they would be in a frantic
hurry to get it out asap and everywhere.

Ecclesiastes 4:11
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?

Not physics, just common sense

Yup.

I've been saying that for a decade and a half.

Before the tares spring up and choke it?

That really has nothing to do with the thread.

I think it's in reply to this:

I withdraw that comment then.

Some people on this site need to learn how the quote/reply function works.

Being a cleric was almost a requirement for being a naturalist at that time!

And even still today.

Many 1st level clerics take Nature proficiency at character creation.

Is there something offensive about posting a Bible quotation on a Christian forum?

Without the context of the comment you were replying to, it seemed like an off-topic comment.

 

[Tinker Grey]

The point was that your post seemed apropos of nothing. If you had used the quote function, you would have provided context for your quote of the Bible.

You'll note @Warden_of_the_Storm said "I withdraw that comment then."

Yes, no problem, there's no misunderstanding. They can't teach what they only pretend to have - but what they want to teach is not what they pretend to have.

 

[TLK Valentine]

No.

Smart man.

I think it's in reply to this:

The irony of the master of off topic comments commenting about off topic posts......
Recall this exchange.

And you have no clue about how this pertains to finding oil in God's time:

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

It has nothing to do with oil.
Proverbs 25:2 addresses the great question in thermodynamics for coffee drinkers who add cream.
If the phone rings as you are about to add the cream; should you add the cream before you answer the phone or wait after the call to ensure the coffee is at its highest temperature?

My 'interpretation' of Proverbs 25:2 is just as 'valid' as yours as both use an unlimited supply of poetic license.
In fact I've suggested to a moderator the use of Bible quotes as counterarguments to science be declared off topic as poetic license is invariably the main motivation.

The only relevance I see in Bible quotes in science is where archaeology is involved which puts historical claims in the Bible to the test.
It was most unfortunate the Exodus is not supported by archaeology thread was closed as the Egyptologist Chris Naunton who appeared in this video in the thread wanted to make a comment about what he thought was the general opinion archaeologists had about the historical veracity of the Bible.
