Re: Ben Stein - Expelled movie
Hi Gman, Thanx for your reply. >>Possibly.. But then that is really side stepping the issue to say that sometime in the future we will have it all figured out. What if we didn't?<< Trying to figure things out is not side-stepping anything. It is what scientists do. They never figure they will have i...

Re: Newsweek Article "Will Physicists Find God?"
Hi Silvertusk, Not a physicist, but will attempt an answer to your comment, "Well they are turning the accelerator on next month. If we are not all sucked into a black hole, are there any physicists on here that can explain what exactly is the point of all this and how it might affect Christian...

Re: abiogenesis
Hi Push, Search as you may, you will not find evidence for a soul that passes scientific scrutiny - not even 21 grams worth. Nor will you find any evidence for God - but that's not the point. God is a matter of faith. As far as letting scientific findings effect your faith, it doesn't have to. Nor s...

Re: Ben Stein - Expelled movie
Hi, anybody that wants to listen. I posted this on a less appropriate thread and decided to post it here also: Although the lack of supervisory design is a key feature of evolution, I prefer to believe the system was set up by and monitored by God. Unfortunately, the ID people have a much broader ag...

Re: Evolution observed in bacteria?
Hi Kurieuo, Thanx for your thoughtful reply. In answer to >>is there even one example where a hox gene mutation resulted in something really new and beneficial? I don't recall coming across any such examples, but would be interested in them<< The hox genes, being core genes, are unlikely to change. ...

Re: Evolution observed in bacteria?
I don't have time now to answer much of this now, although I will try later. I might just add a statistic, though, to spark some interest. A recent study showed that 92% of people who were skeptical about evolution, after having had a legitimate college course in evolution, changed their minds. IOW,...

Re: Evolution observed in bacteria?
Hi Kureiuo, I have to differ with you on the massive amounts of mutational changes necessary for a large change to occur. There have been major advancements in our understanding of evolution over the past twenty years. For example: Scientists expected a lot more human genes than 22,500 - that's not ...

Re: Evolution explains something yet again!
Hi Zoegirl, Evolutionary psychology has lots of appeal. If we evolved in physical ways, why not social. However, although the physical evidence for evolution is (to me) overwhelming, EP appears just as overwhelmingly speculative. Convincing, but speculative. Unlike physical evolution, no reliable tr...

Re: Evolution explains something yet again!
For those who don't like paleontological fossils, there are always molecular fossils from DNA: Most mammals can make vitamin C, including most primates - except humans, gorillas, and chimps, who need it in their diets. It takes five enzymes to make vitamin C, but humans, gorillas and chimps only hav...

Re: Confusion
You should be just as tolerant with this guy as you would with someone who had a speech impediment. It appears that homosexuality has strong genetic causes, as well as environmental.

Re: Evolution observed in bacteria?
Whoever said the species thing was overrated was right. A certain gull that lives in England can't or won't interbreed with a somewhat similar gull that shares its geography. If you circled the globe observing this gull - going west and staying on latitude - the gull starts to change. From England t...

Re: Evidence for a Young Sun
Hi M&M, I read your contribution and agree it's hard to understand. About the 3 proofs offered: 1. These guys disagree with your guru about helioseismic dating: "The age of the sun can be inferred with helioseismic studies. This method provides verification of the age of the solar system ga...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth
Hi NC2, It appears to me you may have limited your investigations to literature that is put out by a YEC organization. I suggest you peruse an introductory geology text (or evolution, paleontology, etc.) and see what you find. You might be impressed with the intensity of the scientific investigation...
