- Larry Vardiman, PhD – Atmospheric Physicist (Bonus Features)
p.s. - this was a blind post, so I apologize if this movie has already been suggested.
I may check it out - but what do I get if they just attack evolution/old earth (i.e. reality based) geology?
And I do like that Steve Austin is taking part.
Steve Austin likes ot "witness" that he used to be an old-earth evolution guy until he studied at mt. St. Helens after the 1980 eruption. This studying somehow turned him into a young earth creationist.
The problem is, he had been writing creationist essays as early as 1976 (under the anagrammatic pseudonym 'Stuart Nevins'), a full 4 years BEFORE the eruption that produced the geology that supposedly converted him.
In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood - References and Notes
Some may wonder why Austin and I have never worked together.
*My first attempt toward that end was in the summer of 1976. I flew to ICR in San Diego, in part to meet a “Stuart E. Nevins.” At the time, I did not know that Austin had been writing under that fictitious name to conceal his identity as a creationist. At lunch with Henry Morris, I said that I would like to meet “Stuart Nevins.” Morris, hiding the true situation, simply said that “Nevins” was out of town.
IOW, I do not believe a single thing Steve Austin claims.
I also note that Todd Wood is listed - he wrote this a few years ago:
The truth about evolution
I hope this doesn't turn into a rant, but it might. You have been warned.
Evolution is not a theory in crisis. It is not teetering on the verge of collapse. It has not failed as a scientific explanation. There is evidence for evolution, gobs and gobs of it. It is not just speculation or a faith choice or an assumption or a religion. It is a productive framework for lots of biological research, and it has amazing explanatory power. There is no conspiracy to hide the truth about the failure of evolution. There has really been no failure of evolution as a scientific theory. It works, and it works well.
I say these things not because I'm crazy or because I've "converted" to evolution. I say these things because they are true. I'm motivated this morning by reading yet another clueless, well-meaning person pompously declaring that evolution is a failure. People who say that are either unacquainted with the inner workings of science or unacquainted with the evidence for evolution. (Technically, they could also be deluded or lying, but that seems rather uncharitable to say. Oops.)
