Why do you believe in the evolution theory?

Your post condems your argument. The universe is not a static world. This is the downfall of the TOE.

The speed of light is slowing down.

Basic, simple observations show the speed of light is about the same across the visible universe. If it were faster once and now is slower, then events we see by the slowed down light would unfold at a slower speed. Events we see across the universe . . . such as the waxing and waning of supernova and the rotation rate of galaxies . . . do not unfold at a a slower speed. Therefore the light has not slowed.

Galaxies and other objects in the universe show a red shift as well as a blue shift, showing while some are moving away from us, some are moving toward us.

Only some galaxies move towards us, all of them in our local cluster and therefore not participating in the universal expansion relative to us. There is basically some random motion within a cluster, that's all.

Some planets and moons rotate in one direction while some rotate in another. This contradicts the conservation of angular motion.

That's silly. Any one body can be whacked by another and go into retrograde rotation as a result without affecting the overall angular motion of the whole solar system.

These contradicts the Big bang..

I have sad news for you. You don't have the slightest idea what you are talking about. Memorizing talking points is not a way to advance your science knowledge. You might try actually seeking to understand the science?

Do you not think that by the time the world is into the tribulation that it will be blatantly obvious that the TOE was a shell game and that there is most definitely a lot more dimensions to this universe? Not to mention the whole supernatural events will prove powers far greater than us humans?
No.

I like to think Jesus is coming back today; not some time far into the future -- like tomorrow.

Please show that thalidomide causes birth defects WITHOUT using science.
Are you still harping on this?

I thought I made it clear that scientists lit the fire, and then scientists put it out.

They did not put it out sans science, as they used science to start it.

Why would that matter to you? Surely, what matters is if a person does their job properly, rather than what stuff they believe? :thumbsup:
I'd rather give my business to a brother.

So it has nothing to do with what they say or do, but only about what they claim to be...
If I think a doctor is a Christian, I will go to him; over going to one I think is an atheist.

I would hope both doctors would professionally treat me the same.

It's taken from the forum post I pointed you to before -- the one we're discussing, and the one that you rejected because you distrust statistical analyses, . . .
i said i mistrust statistical analysis, and for good reason.
looking at your work with an air of suspicion is not rejection.
i'm quite positive that you do not accept such things without reservations.

i'll be honest.
this is out of my league, but i do have questions.
have you done your analysis between humans and, say, bananas?
i believe you will find the same correlation
i also believe that you will find this relationship between any 2 arbitrarily chosen species.
IOW, what you are measuring is complexity in regards to time.

how does your model explain species that do not undergo "evolution".
how does your model explain HOX genes?
Again, this is a simple prediction from common descent, and I cannot think of any reason why it should be true in a creationist model."
adaptation and transposons would explain your results, neither of which requires the "man from ape" scenario.
The question is, why is there a relationship between genetic diversity (within humans) and genetic divergence (between humans and chimpanzees), if divergence is not the result of accumulated mutational changes.
the natural process of adaptation and transposons
neither of the above proves "man from ape".
i believe you will get the same correlation for any 2 species you want to compare.

I'm sure the Atheist Doctor would treat you the same as a Christian doctor would. One of you has to follow the Golden Rule; you've already demonstrated it's not going to be you.

The Golden Rule: "Treat others as you would want to be treated."

Surely you've heard of it?

Yes.

I would hope both doctors would treat me as they would treat themselves if they had the same ailment.
