    Good bye one and all

    Just to say that I am leaving the forum. To be honest, I was expecting to have discussions about evolution and creation without the abuse. My job is getting busy. I think that I have explained my line of thinking on these matters and I am fairly confident that I have done so in a polite and...

    The Creationist work at Mount St Helens

    Krok, I don't think you are seeing my point. If a rock that was formed 30 years ago is dated as nearly a billion years - why should I trust the dating method? Surely, the error bars should go to 0. I think that the calibration of dating methods is an area that I have never been convinced of...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    Autodidact, What a pointless statement. All species have come from animals that were present on the ark. The chance of this happening is 100% because it has in fact happened. Do you agree with this? No, then why do you think that the above sentence is going to convince me, You might as well...

    Why can’t “kind” be defined?

    PolyHedral, Indeed - I do not propose a water tight solution to the problem of the size of the ark and how many animals can fit in the ark. However, I think you will see that I have been thinking about this issue and have come to at least a reasonable effort at trying to word it in a...

    My latest understanding on the formation of the diversity of life

    I find the speed at which species would need to appear rather quick. However, I think that it is possible. I do understand why there is such fascination on how many animals could fit on the ark and the number of kinds. I do not think we can be 100% sure on these things. But I would say that the...

    Why can’t “kind” be defined?

    Hi all, I have been busy with work so I have not been able to reply before now and I am not sure how long I can really afford to post this evening but I shall try to address a number of issues. I think people should be patient with YEC people who struggle to define the term "kind" because the...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    Noaidi, I suppose Dawkins is the most famous person who talks about the theory of evolution explaining the origin of life. He goes beyond on what science says to do so but he does it anyway. I do often get it from people that ToE explains the origin of life - I find that amazing. I think it is...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    Autodidact, I'm just about to go to sleep but before I do I think I need to clarify an important point that I think you are confusing in my theories. There is a distinction between what I am saying happens when a "kind" mutates to form various species and what the ToE says. I am suggesting...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    DeitySlayer If you read through my response you will see that I do understand the difference between phenotype and genotype. I appeal to the difference regularly when discussing the diversity of life coming from a relatively small number of kinds. i.e. many species have identical/near-identical...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    Autodidact I disagree. The difficulty is that a lot of deleterious mutations do not necessarily give rise to problems until after reproductive age. Thus, the deleterious mutation is passed on. The idea that the will "never" produce is just not true. The idea that the beneficial mutation will...

    Why can’t “kind” be defined?

    I disagree. I think it should be possible to come close to a reasonable definition of the term "kind" but I lack the breadth of knowledge to do so. I do hope that a YEC does try to number the different kinds - it would be very useful.

    Theistic Evolution

    Autodidact Thankfully I do not reject science. I just don't accept the theory of Evolution as providing the answers to the origin of life and the diversity of life. My religious faith is certainly not doomed - it is florishing thank you. The evidence for my faith in Jesus is not at all...

    Why can’t “kind” be defined?

    Thank you for bumping this thread up here for me. I suspect that you want me to flesh out my use of the fairly loose term "kind". Well, I think that it would take a Phd thesis to tie that one up! It would require an enormous amount of work looking at every single genome for every single...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    Angellous Entry requirement for medical school requiring somebody being able to defend evolution? Well, I would have been able to jump through that hoop. I could outline the mechanisms of evolution and state things as evolutionary theory states them. Only if I was directly asked would I...

    Is the theory of evolution actually falsifiable?

    Response to David M If you read what I said again you will notice that this is what I said here: this is obviously due to selection bias. (Doctors only need to learn about the mutations that we will encounter, namely those that will have clinical significance. I think you will actually find...

    My latest understanding on the formation of the diversity of life

    Hello all. I think patience is a virtue that a few people here could do with. As Gunfingers correctly pointed out I have been busy with work the past couple days and a lot of time and energy was also spent trying to get my broadband sorted - long story and still haven't got it! (Delivery issues...

    Venatoris Thank you for your reply. I'm just about to head off but thought I would quickly reply to your message. First of all, thank you for the manner in which you have posted. It is a breath of fresh air compared to the way that I am usually treated - I am appreciative. Well, I think you...

    My latest understanding on the formation of the diversity of life

    I think I had been asked to start a thread on this topic. If nobody is interested then it can merely sink to the bottom. Anyway, here goes. I believe that God created all the kinds in Genesis 2. These would probably have diversified within their kind but when the global flood occurred, God...
