It's idiocy like this that has allowed the Liberals to paint Conservatives as anti-science luddites
I will suggest the author look up what exactly theory and law are in a scientific context.
Poor Darwin, he shot down his own speculation:
If numerous species, belonging to the same genera or families, have really started into life all at once, the fact would be fatal to the theory to descent with slow modification though natural selection.
Law is proven? Theory is guessing?
Yep, pretty stupid. Is there any reason to read after the first one?
This law (note: not a theory but a scientific law) teaches us that matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
What exactly does the theory of evolution say about the creation of energy and matter? Someone help me out...I'm pretty sure it doesn't say a damned thing about it.
Conservatives need to quit worrying about what liberals think of them.
Tripe like this is not one of them.
So we, our universe, good vs. evil, are just two kids playing a video game. What seems billions of years to us is just a Saturday afternoon for them -- and it's getting close to time for one of the kids to go home for supper.
If we are talking about survival of the fittest, then the topic needs to be changed to de-evolution.
I am cool with everything about creationism except young earth. I don’t believe that creationism must be young earth. Creationism = young earth? Is it mutually exclusive? I don’t think so.
It is important, yet exceedingly difficult, when dealing those who differ and mock, to view them with the eyes and mercy of the Creator, and so deal with them in love. Even those who are outside and in the dark are made in the image of God, making them His highest creation. This is true no matter how great or how small the intellect.
Evolutionists have to have more “faith” in their “religion” than Creationists do in theirs. Personally, I don’t believe that the earth formed on October 30, 4004 B.C. However, I do believe in the “young earth” theory. The main reason is from the scientific data I collected as a Geotechnical Engineer in Mississippi. Up in Madison County, you dig far enough you’ll get into Unweathered Yazoo Clay, which is bluish-green and contains many small seashells and other fossils. These fossils didn’t just “gradually” settle into the soil and ossify over millions of years..Many of the shells I got still weren’t even fossilized....something cataclysmic had to happen to preserve them. To preserve anything, you have to remove oxygen and sunlight to keep it from decomposing. That’s why we have such an extensive record of the Vesuvius Volcano, but very little if anything left from the millions of Buffalo slaughtered for fun in the 1800’s and left to rot.
Humm.... no, by logical extension matter and energy (that may be redundant) did come from somewhere within the universe as the definition of universe means the totality of all that exists. There is nothing outside the universe and the creator is part of the universe.
Its snap your finger time again.
I have not yet been convinced that the millions and billions of years scenarios are much more than arbitrary leaps of faith based on arbitrary assumptions. The biblical texts, when taken literally, do not attempt to pinpoint the age of the earth, but explicitly depict a Creator beyond space and time, which means the creation may demonstrate features we are inclined to err in assessing in regard to the same.
The written text (Genesis) has generational gaps, to be sure. If Adam were alive today, his experience would stretch back to the Middle Ages as we have come to learn about them. In accepting the biblical texts literally and as authoritative my inclination is to comprehend creation and history as roughly 10,000 years. Actually, that figure addends nicely as a whole history time frame in view of other instances where tens and thousands have significant semantic/theological import. But “no one knows the day or the hour.”
A world wide flood might of preserved your specimens. :)
Ping for later
The author reminds me of the teenager who is taught about entropy and uses that as an argument against cleaning his room.
Except that by common usage “universe” is frequently understood as the totality of all *natural* things, that is, mainly material things. As evolution is an adjunct of the larger proposition of materialism, it is easy to understand why this usage occurs as a means of distinguishing the Creator, a Spirit, from His material creation, which in turn is a key feature of traditional Christian theology.
