Messianic Jews are Protestant Christians. Most of their denomonations believe in everything an evangelical believes, but they celebrate old customs-not because they have to, but because it is like celebrating Christmas or Easter to them-it is tradition only. They would not agree with preterism as th...

Bgood, I do not always agree with you, but I do want to say that you bring a lot of integrity to the board because you do try to back up your points with research. I do not always agree with the interpretation of the research, but I appreciate your efforts. That being said, the Earth is old and it s...

"Darwin died 127 years ago! What does it matter now? His original theory still lives but the proposed mechanisms by which evolution occur have been greatly refined and revamped in the past century" Sorry BGood, this is a false statement. The proposed mechanisms have not been refined, in fa...

Neo-Darwinism is dead

I am not sure how evolution occured, but the process of NS plus RM is a quickly dying theory. The World Summit on Evolution severely cut down ND and had the top, not just the loudest, but the top evolutinary theorists debating replacement theories. Discussing NS+RM is almost like debating whether th...

The oscillating universe theory has been largely discarded by most cosmologists due to many factors mentioned here and others like the fine tuning of the second law of thermodynamics. Without the second law of TD, life would not be possible. In fact, the Second Law is so finely tuned that it rules o...

BGood, I want to thank you for your response as I found it to be respectful. I never said that mathematics is not science because it does not correspond to reality. What is did say is that imaginery numbers do not correspond to reality, therefore the science that it supports is purely metaphysical. ...

I do not understand your relation from Mathematics to quantum mathematics. For instance, realists do believe that numbers are real and were discovered. Quantum mathematics is a field of theoretical mathematics (just like physics is has field like theoretial physics, quantum physics ect-do these inva...

If you notice, I am not dogmatic and I posted a definition that reaches both sides of the arguments. I have found arguments which forcefully argue both sides of the topic, so I picked the one that explained both sides of the issue. If you are a realist, then mathematics is discovered and is part of ...

Is mathematics a science? Carl Friedrich Gauss referred to mathematics as "the Queen of the Sciences". If one considers science to be strictly about the physical world, then mathematics, or at least pure mathematics, is not a science. An alternative view is that certain scientific fields (...

Most definitely Mathematics is science. I have no idea how to respond to this? Why exactly is it not science...this is a bizzare statement.

Is probability science? NO. This is either a naive statement or completely ignorant (not the negative sense, just the uniformed sense). Mathematics is a science and in fact, it is impossible to have chemistry, physics, biology or any other science without mathematics. Physics is based upon probabili...

Sandy, In general I agree with you, but the term intellectual elite is applicable to certain characters like Dennet and Dawkins. For instance, Dennett says that all people that believe in Christianity should be placed in cages and studied. He calls all of his little minions "brights". It s...

In fact, that seems like a fair statement and if science were taught this way, there would be no problems from the majority of rational people. Naturalism may be true (or undirected evolutionary theory), but you have to prove that it is true. Also, I would not disagree that llama's and camel's may h...
