    Kentucky Commissioner of Education: Evolution a fact? Not in MY schools.

    Why can't any of them get it right? Evolution is both a fact and a theory and should be taught as such. You'd think that teaching them what a scientific theory is would be a basic foundation in all high school science classes. [/INDENT]

    Abiogenesis

    Yes, that would be a problem, and quite counterproductive as you said. In my experience it can be extremely difficult to properly explain concepts in science like evolution to creationists, let alone a more complex subject like abiogenesis. The frustration that is born out of it, no matter...

    Abiogenesis

    It's true that the theories of abiogenesis are more like hypotheses, but not knowing the exact mechanism or sequence of events doesn't discount that it most likely happened. My guess is that life tried to get started several different ways, but somewhere along the way one line out-competed the...

    Evolution questions: round 3

    Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier, just now saw it. Hehe

    Evolution questions: round 3

    Thanks to all for the radiometric information.

    Evolution questions: round 3

    PW can probably tell you more, but it is pretty much a fact. Chromosomes have structures called centromeres at the center and telomeres at the ends. Our chromosome #2 has telomeres in the center, with a centromere (one inactive) on each side. I can't recall the numbers, but scientists have...

    Evolution questions: round 3

    I was afraid this was a little too much out of your line of study. I found some stuff online that suggests that certain rocks aren't permeable to certain elements, sort of analogous to the plasma membrane's selective permeability, so you know that for those rocks specific elements are the...

    Evolution questions: round 3

    Not sure if this is the right place, my question is on radiometric dating. I understand that radioactive isotopes decay at a measurable and constant rate to a specific daughter isotope. But how do scientists know that from the formation of X, the isotopes that they are looking at didn't get...

    The global flood: The sorting of fossils and sediments

    Don't get too ahead of yourself. Yes, upright fossils are buried fast, geologically speaking, but they don't support a global flood. We know they are the result of local geological activity. For example, why do we only observe these in limited areas where the local geological activities...

    The global flood: The sorting of fossils and sediments

    Great question, the first time I heard about them I thought that it was fake as I'm a hard-core evolutionist and an old earther, then I was confused when I realized that it wasn't a hoax. As it turns out, the various layers don't represent millions or even thousands of years, the strata that...

    The global flood: The sorting of fossils and sediments

    I'm no geologist, but I don't see anything that stands out as blatantly wrong. However these things don't support a global flood, let alone Noah's deluge. Local rivers and lakes flood all the time leaving a wake of rapid burial behind them. Polystrate fossils go through several layers, but it...

    The Earth - too many coincidences for life to have evolved

    Of course, and all the evidence for it is in the head of evilutionists. P.S. On a more serious note: Very rarely, if ever, is speciation observed in the fossil record. Most of it is due to the fact that it is hard to distinguish two closely related species solely on fossils. Sometimes...

    The Earth - too many coincidences for life to have evolved

    PRATT = point refuted a thousand times It's a common abbreviation on other forums, it might be an old one - haven't really seen it in years.

    Suppose evolution was refuted, then what?

    I like Dawkins, he describes the science very well, but his views of religion are a bit too simplistic; he spends too much time with creationists that surprisingly, sort of, don't know that much about religion as well. He is also very emotional when it comes to religion, so I get the sense that...

    The Earth - too many coincidences for life to have evolved

    But they're still mosquitoes, nothing new; just like a bacteria is always a bacteria, and a fish to a monkey is still not a human. ;) Don't you just love creationist PRATTs
