'Intelligent design' theory threatens science classrooms

"The speed of light is slowing down. "

Actually that exerpt was from an article on just that.

More Turmoil in Physics:Is Light Slowing Down?

Look at the following paragraph about actual measurements through the years...

Over the past 300 years, the velocity of light has been measured 163 times by 16 different methods. (As a Naval Academy graduate, I must point out that Albert Michelson, Class of 1873, measured the speed of light at the Academy. In 1881 he measured it as 299,853 km/sec. In 1907 he was the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in the sciences. In 1923 he measured it as 299,798 km/sec. In 1933, at Irvine, CA, as 299,774 km/sec.)

This idea too is "hooted" at by the so-called "scientific" community.

An excellent argument for ID.

Why would you post a non-sourced article that is supposed to be about something scientific?

We ALL know that when your opposition posts an article, the first thing out of your trap is, "Is that from a creation site?"

I'm thinking, double-standards....

[Aric2000]

Oh come on, NOT THAT AGAIN!

OH PUHLEASE!!

There is absolutely NO evidence for that assertion, and tons of evidence that the speed of light is CONSTANT, has been constant, and will ALWAYS be constant.

So please put that crackpot hypothesis where it belongs, in the garbage.

LOL

But WE find them, as I said, Google is your freind.

GO FIND IT!!!

"I've been speculating as to why Creationists never want to challenge theories about the evolution of the Universe, and here is my hypothesis: they don't really care, as long as they, themselves, were specially created. Something about evolving from fish bothers them. I think it's due to an inferiority complex."

Earth to Cobalt.. This thread is about an article where EVOS don't want any challenging theories.

Freudian projection?

>>It will soon be nationwide I think, or at least I hope.<<

If you teach your kids at home, why do you want to dictate the curriculum that other people's kids study?

Thank goodness mine will be out of high school soon. I'd hate to have to explain to them that religious fanatics are dumbing down the curriculum.

Google is a friend when an article is sourced.

Source your article

[Jorge]

This, of course, will steam the neo-religious daridiots.

And I of course feel very bad about that.

But I will never go back to believing evolution again.
It is an extremely embarrassing page in my life.

[CobaltBlue]

No, simple observation. Your arguments are so weak as to be non-existent, but you bluster and insult people in the hope that you can intimidate them. That's the dead giveaway of an inferiority complex.

"I'd hate to have to explain to them that religious fanatics are dumbing down the curriculum."

No need to worry. They'll be out on their own where they can finally think for themselves.

What's my argument Mr. Projectionist?

[Derrald]

No. It's an argument that blood cannot exist without clotting. It's not an argument for evolution or for creation. IDers and CSers always love to take any argument in the world and state that it proves they're right.

Blood cannot exist without clotting, the CS/ID argument: Therefore, God was thinking when he created it. The evolutionary argument: Therefore, the stem cells that divide into every other cell acquired this differentiation through slight differences as their organisms became more complex.

There is a reasonable argument either way, so don't try to take the "I can't think of it any other way in 5 seconds, so CS/ID must be right!" approach.

[marbren]

The truth will set you free. I think you found some truth.

[Jorge]

The speed of light is slowing down.

Oh no. How depressing.

[ApesForEvolution]

I sense many evotards know it already...but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

There's quite a bit of quality creationist science out there, assuming these evotards would spend any time away from their atheist junk science.

(Wow! Two evotards in one post...I'm on a roll...a "Holy Roller"!!! LOL)

[Fiddlstix]

Bump

"But I will never go back to believing evolution again.

Which is why we call it self-flagellation.

Thank God you were smart enough to escape the folly.

[Jorge]

It's an argument that blood cannot exist without clotting.

Yes...an excellent argument for ID.
