The Scientific Impossibility of Evolution  November 9, 2009 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. St. Pius V University (Rome) In Response to Pope Benedict XVI’s Call for Both Sides to be Heard The 150th anniversary of Darwin’s "Origin of the Species" in November 2009 will be the occasion for a unique conference at Pope Pius V University in Rome presenting a scientific refutation of evolution theory. According to Russian sedimentologist Alexander Lalamov, “Everything contained in Darwin’s Origin of Species depends upon rocks forming slowly over enormous periods of time. The November conference demonstrates with empirical data that such geological time is not available for evolution.” Recently returned from a ground-breaking geological conference in Kazan, sedimentologist Guy Berthault will present the findings of several sedimentological studies conducted and published in Russia. In one of these, the age of the rock formation surveyed was found to be 0.01% of the age attributed to it by the geological time-scale—instead of an age of 10 million years, the actual age was no more than 10 thousand years. “Contrary to the conventional wisdom,” Lalamov observed, “these rocks formed quickly, and the fossils they contain must be relatively young. This finding contradicts the evolutionary interpretation of the fossil record.” www.sedimentology.fr According to US biophysicist Dr. Dean Kenyon, “Biological macroevolution collapses without the twin pillars of the geological time-scale and the fossil record as currently interpreted. Few scientists would contest this statement. This is why the upcoming conference concentrates on geology and paleontology. Recent research in these two disciplines adds powerful support to the already formidable case against teaching Darwinian macroevolution as if it were proven fact.” Participating scientists include: --Guy Berthault, a renowned sedimentologist from France and experimenter in fundamental physics and sedimentology, member of the French Geological Society and the Association of Sedimentologists. --Maciej Giertych, a population geneticist from Kornik, Poland, who holds advanced degrees in genetics, forestry and tree physiology. --Thomas Seiler, a physicist from Germany with a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Munich --Jean de Pontcharra, a physicist in France and director of the renowned research group CEA-LETI (Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique, Laboratoire d'Electronique et de Technologie de l'Informatique). --Josef Holzschuh, a geophysicist from Australia with a Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Western Australia. Abstracts of the presentations can be seen on-line at http://sites.google.com/site/scientificcritiqueofevolution/Home. “The Scientific Impossibility of Evolution” conference is being held in direct response to Benedict XIV's request that both sides of the evolution controversy be heard. Thomas Seiler, a participant in the conference said:  “In the light of astounding new scientific breakthroughs, particularly in geology, we hope the worldwide scientific community will acknowledge the overwhelming evidence against the theory of evolution.” The conference begins at 9:30 a.m. on November 9 in the auditorium of St. Pius V University (Via Cristoforo Colombo, No. 200). Entrance is free although the number of seats is limited. It is open to the public and members of the press and media, but reservations are recommended. Reservations can be made by email at noevolutioninfo@gmail.com; or Peter Wilders (Europe phone 377 93 50 88 34)

But no scientist believe that evolution isn’t true, ;)

[enduserindy]

I would like to attend that. If you change the age of earth, you change it for the universe. If correct this would be something “of biblical proportion.”

[raygunfan]

anything of note will be buried or simply not reported, all to keep the precious religion of evolutionism sacred....

[skeptoid]

In 1968/69 I took two semesters of geology at a private university.
Physical Geology made sense.

Evolutionary Geology was a confusing mish-mash of exceptions, apologies, Darwin quotes, denials, etc, etc, etc.

I will eagerly research this story.

Its time again to “Snap Your Finger”.
Thats as in The Creation.

[stormer]

Wow. Two whole semesters? Forty years ago? You must be some kind of expert!

[skeptoid]

Wow. Two whole semesters? Forty years ago?

That is correct

You must be some kind of expert!

How the hell could you p-h-o-ssibly draw that conclusion!!

(drunkenness or stupidity are acceptable reasons, but excessive formal ecucation is not)

[stormer]

Drunkenness is not only acceptable, it’s encouraged!

[mamelukesabre]

apparently.

[Oztrich Boy]

6½ hours doesn’t seem like an excessive amount of time to overturn the whole field of Geology.

[Natural Law]

If anyone bothers to check out the background of the presenters or to read the abstracts you will see that this is a collection of kooks who have set about to construct studies and experiments to prove a predetermined conclusion. It is transparent attempts to manipulate science like this that give Creationism a bad name.

[raygunfan]

of course they are kooks, they disagree with the the religion of evolutionism.

classic ploy, demonize and minimize your opponent, and his methods as opposed to engaging in dialog with them directly and debating their points....

easier to post here on FR and denigrate them. sound technique there...

[IronKros]

According to Russian sedimentologist Alexander Lalamov, “Everything contained in Darwin’s Origin of Species depends upon rocks forming slowly over enormous periods of time."

I don't think he understands Evolution by Natural Selection.

How much time and in how much scientific depth are you prepared to assess their technical papers?

Guy Berthault is a nut-job. Read through the following link and get back to me.

http://www.evolutionpages.com/berthault_critique.htm

Maciej Giertych is a communist loon. Read through the following link and get back to me. http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2006/11/nature_publishes_a_crank_lette.php Thomas Seiler is a poor physicist based upon his presentation. He bases his entire presentation upon an incorrect probability presumption and further misstated evolutionary systems as "closed systems". Life on earth is not an isolated system at thermodynamic equilibrium. This presumption leads him to wrongly calculate the impact of Boltzmann's constant on the Entropy calculation.

Dr Josef Holzschuh identifies the flaw in Dr. Seiler's paper, but dismisses it out of hand, with no data or substantiation with the following conclusion:

To confuse the natural low energy state of ordered molecules with high energy formation of complex biological molecules is a common and unacceptable error."

Shall I continue or do you want to defend to discuss any of the above in more detail? There is an explanation to Creation that satisfies both the science and the theology. It is called Theistic Evolution. Care to consider or discuss that?
