You don't resemble God.
Hey Teddyboy, what's your website url?
Wait, does your God have a body?
Does he has two arms like us, or four like a Hindi God?
(Sorry, I assume when people say God they mean the real one.)
No, but whatever caused the flood could easily have changed the ratios or regular to radio carbon on the planet. Radiocarbon dating depends on those ratios having always been as they are now.
Have you ever actually done a radiocarbon date, or did you just stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?
The ratio can be checked through time. This is done by counting individual tree-rings. They use standing dead bristlecone pines in the US, and other species elsewhere. They can then date the individual tree rings and calibrate the curve. And no, they have not always been as they are now. There are slight fluctuations.
They have the curve on bristlecone pines back past 12,600 years now. That means the atmospheric fluctuations are accounted for during that time period (other methods are used for older ages).
The results are still the same as always. No flood. Sorry.
Curious, it seems to be an attack on the scientific method by using a thinly veiled variant on Pascal's wager. You know, your words about how "his reason *may* be taking him down the incorrect path."
Then there's this: ToE "fits the facts" for philosophical reasons... the possibility of all "supernatural" explanations have to be excluded, as they fall outside of the realm of all "real" science. The study of science has fallen into a circular argument, favoring one philosophy over all others.
This is not a circular argument. Science has no means for measuring the supernatural, so it must exclude it. (Not deny it, just exclude it). Your complaint is akin to rejecting a yardstick because it won't give you the barometric pressure.
The PPT looks great...I will check it out later. Thanks
You are a funny guy!
I don't know. I've read some agnostics who think Darwinism is bogus. They don't accept creation, or some form of intelligent design; they're just convinced that Darwinism isn't the correct explanation.
I was asking the person who insists science must include the supernatural, that is you.
Do you have issues with faith? Or do you want to force atheists to see scientific proof of God?
I see no other reason to warp science in such a way.
Forget it. Apparently I didn't catch your screenname before.
You are Mormon, then I guess?
No comment.
tomzz---As you are aware Darwinoids naturally resort to personal slurs since they find Christian based science so frightening. Somehow they have devolved in that area.
Please, PM me if you must in order to be frank.
Are you aware that Darwinoids is a personal slur?
What is Christian based science, and will its results be valid in India?
You guys are hilarious. It seems every thread there'll be an anti-evo post which fusses about personal attacks from evos while simultaneously attacking them. It's like clockwork.
I'm aware of that....
I think it is an apt description. -oid from Greek suffix -oid = in the image of
darwinoid: in the image of Darwin. Pretty ugly but apt. Are you one?
Indian Christians are quite devoted.
One of the merry banned who keep returing to FR under different handles.
I reckon we won't know for sure unless we take a piece of KFC and freeze it for 70 million years. Call your local federal feed trough. They'll be more than happy to fund research on global freezing.
