"God did it" is not a valid scientific finding. Now run along back to your religion courses like a good little boy.

[Wonder Warthog]

Hey, Joe. I guess you don't know that the "Big Bang" theory was initially proposed by a Jesuit priest/astronomer. Try again.

BTW, Illegal aliens are given legal rights by the same people.

Gee, I never realized so many of those people were Republican officeholders...

[marylandrepub1]

Same comment. Creationism makes conservatives look like uneducated cavemen. It is just attacking science without offering an alternative theory(sound familiar?)

[TOWER]

Yawn...

Same old crap. Come back when you have something that hasn't been refuted a million times already.

The randomly scattered bold font, and CAPITALIZATION really sold me. Thanks for clearing this all up.

.....but for a good primer on the Top Ten Reasons The Earth Is Not That Old, look at the following website at the Institute For Creation Research: http://www.icr.org/pubs/imp/imp-384.htm

This stuff *still* gets posted????

"...it looks more like the Evolutionary Theory (a cornerstone of Communism)"

I must have missed that part of the manifesto. Then again it has been a while and most of it's blurry.

Just the hate that is involved in these threads never ceases to amaze me. Right up there with the tax threads and the Hate MS threads ;)

I've haven't seen anyone fit so much creationist BS into a single short article before. Well done!

I doubt one could feel being hit in the head with a board from Noah's Ark...

Yes, there are cities around the world which are built around the cottage industries which fabricate fossils for the geologist and anthropologist who is ever so eager to snatch them up and be assured of publishing and a promotion at the university.

Your boldfacing of the word "theory" is curioius, and I suspect that you're confusing it with the word "speculation."

As used in science, a theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning, especially one that has been tested and confirmed as a general principle helping to explain and predict natural phenomena.

[Right Wing Professor]

What a particularly unintelligent rant - high on falsehoods, low on facts. Most strata have now been radiometrically dated, and there is nothing circular about the technique. It's as direct and simple as first order kinetics. And if the US is slipping behind the rest of the world because we teach evolution, it's sort of odd that the rest of the world teaches evolution - in fact, only in the US and in countries with racial islamist movements is there any substantial resistance to teaching evolution at all.

I advise Mr. Clarke to abandon the blog and go back to yelling at people on street corners.

A board from the Ark? Poetic.

What is a law and what is a theory?

A "law" is a readily observable fact about something. It is something that is obvious and undeniable. [Obviously not Evolution]

A "theory" is an advanced hypothesis.

From physicsforums.com

[Quark2005]

Fossils are dated according to the age of the rocks surrounding them, and rocks are dated by the fossils found in their vicinity.

Anyone who knows a whit about radiometric dating or other geological dating techniques knows this isn't true, nor is much of anything on this ill-informed, rhetorical post.

Ironic how the author complains about how America is losing ground in science while simultaneously serving as an exemplification of the problem.

Wow. This article is the mirror image of a typical leftist rant, wherein the author somehow manages to tie together a bunch of completely unrelated issues. A leftist will tie together education, health care, the war in Iraq, social security, and Gitmo in one breath. Here we've got evolution, the big bang, homosexuality, illegal immigration, and corporal punishment mentioned in one breath.

It would be funny if it were not so sad.
