Re: Ultimate "blind" proof of Darwinian Evolution

>>What makes it true is using basic common sense<<

Hi Anita,

Common sense is only a starting point in science. By itself, it doesn't mean anything. What may seem to be true in science frequently turns out not to be true when tested.

Re: Dinosaurs

Hi Anita,

Since you are also using words, are you, by chance using word games? Just wondering.

Re: Dinosaurs

Hi Zoegirl, Very good article about carbon dating. The thing is, unless a person has taking quite a bit of college-level science, it can get difficult to wade through even the simplest explanatory article. This makes it easy for someone to skew the data and make a YEC position sound scientific when ...

>>Do the research… NOT ONE of these skeletons remotely indicates a humanoid. They have all been found to be fakes or altered in some way by fraudulent scientists<< The research clearly shows there are many transitional species. The single fraud that I know of is Piltdown man. Yes, Virginia, there ar...

Re: Craig Venter

Hi GL, Glad you watched that. No, certainly not run of the mill evolution. More like a more sophisticated version of animal husbandry: "Hey, let's breed that frisky dog that runs fast and helps me hunt to that re-haired female. Some of the pups might not only be frisky, but would blend in with ...

Re: Evolution observed in bacteria?

Science doesn't know how as much as it would like, but the trail of evidence left by the DNA of life leaves (almost )incontrovertible evidence that common descent happened. I added "almost" because there is always the possibility that God did it some other way and then left this trail as a...

Re: Craig Venter

I'd wish I could be a fly on the wall for the subsequent discussions your students have. That sort of project is the sort that sometimes settles students in on a career choice.

Re: Craig Venter

Very nice assessment, Zoegirl, and I'm so glad someone listened to it in its entirety. It's very complex but overall very exciting with, as you said, a scifi edge and ethical issues. I noticed that he referred his work to an ethics commission before he even started. As you noted, he's not pretending...

Re: Testing the Noah Story?

And another thing. After Adam and Eve finished (if ever) arguing about what to name all those animals, the flood would have come and gone and everybody would have drowned.
