RCH = RightWhale's Correct History?

[TYVets]

Nature, however, often refuses to submit to our presuppositions.

Required reading for global warming freaks.

[RightWhale]

Hoagland is interesting if nothing else.

[RightWingAtheist]

Hoagland is interesting...

....but stupid!

[Doctor Stochastic]

How many Spanish Angels are needed to push Saturn's Moons around?

[Doctor Stochastic]

As I understand it, 4.5 billion is when the Big Bang® supposedly happened.

Your understanding is wrong.

[longshadow]

Your understanding is wrong.

So much ignorance, so little time....

[Fester Chugabrew]

This discussion is not really about God at all, but about the truth claims of methodological naturalism in dealing with the unobservable past.

Which essentially means the debate, while it may involve science, is not about science per se. In arguing from the specific (empirical science) to the general (natural philosophy), each observer will begin with a set of rules into which the evidence may fit. What a shame we are encouraged and free by the laws of our land to engage any assumption, yet prohibted by cultural zeitgeist from letting divergent viewpoints have a voice in public schools.

Current best estimate is the Big Bang happened 13.7 billion years ago. The solar system is thought to be about 5 billion years old.

RE: Earth's age

Sorry. You blokes keep changing it so darn fast

When was the last time the estimated age of the earth was outside of the range 4.4 - 4.6 billion years?

Answer about 50 years.

upi ust cant face it that evolution never happened... :)

[RaceBannon]

...gotta love that typing first thing in the mornng....

[ovrtaxt]

Cool, someone said zeitgeist!

Zetigeist. Zeitgeist.

I love that word, and a fine point you have made.

[The Red Zone]

I wonder if/what the noted OEC, Hugh Ross, has to say about this. He comes up with some intriguing stuff.

[whispering out loud]

probably because it(macro evo) didn't happen

Mankind's failure to realize Science has nothing to do with a person's character, has given many a false sense of misguided purpose.

Could you possibly toss in a larger non sequiteur? In the context of calculating the age of the Solar System, this statement has no meaning and distracts from the discussion at hand (which of course is a standard CRIDer "argument" tactic).

This speaks directly to the fact that science has so little data to make it's assumptions. Much of the article is the commentary provided by the scientific journalist. Let's try not to avoid the fact that scientists purposefully put themselves in boxes of their personal choosing. Creation-Evolution Headlines has documented and compiled over 4 years of scientific articles that give clear evidence of the Evolutionary Box and it's perversion of good science.

In keeping with the theme of the article we are commenting on:

“Science works by first making definitive theories, and then doing many years of research to discover if we were right,” said an unnamed NSF spokesman. “During the extended research phase, our job is to vigorously promote our assumptions until the facts disprove them.”

The unnamed above is fictitious. Have you ended your low-fat diet yet?
