your reply confirms exactly what I said.. which is that you dismiss everything that disagrees with you without even looking at it... all your criticisms of creationsafaris might be a little more well received if they were directed at Dr. Dino or something, but like I said... creation safaris gives you the links to all the articles they talk about.. I'm not going to reitterate because you clearly have your blinders on and that's fine... as I said, everyone can make up their mind.

as for "new bodies", that isn't what I was talking about in the universe.. I'm talking about the activity constantly being discovered in places that were believed to be old and dead... they're even having to rethink comets after Deep Impact... discovering a "new body" is a little different than the constant story of "puzzling" discoveries about planets and moons all over the place... but like I said, I'm not here to debate you guys on the information.. just providing a couple links, I just couldn't help but respond to that "finding new bodies" business, because that's not a clear representation of all the discoveries of the past year and past couple months.

I'm glad you clarified what you meant. I do agree people should keep an open mind.

Science is always making new discoveries. My only point is that generally this results in the refinement and improvement of theories, not their complete overturning. Discoveries that Mars is more geologically active then we once thought, for example, don't mean all theories about terrestrial geology need to start over from square one.

I have read through articles on creationsafaris and AiG - I wish I could give them a kinder review; they're not as bad as Dr. Dino, I'll give you that, but I still find misinformation in them all the time (I mentioned a few points earlier that I still find presented in the sites you mentioned).

I'm not trying to tell you what to believe, I'm only saying to be careful where you get information from - there's a lot of people out there eager to take people for a ride, not just in evolution, but in all science fields. And I realize this isn't a good argument in itself, but don't let these sites fool you into believing that there is massive dissent among scientists as to whether or not evolution is a true theory - this is simply not the case. There's no easy way to learn about the stuff - truly understanding scientific theories is very difficult indeed. If a small group is printing material without reviews and revisions from relevant specialists across the scientific field, it's more likely that the info is flawed.
