Darwin on the Right: Why Christians and conservatives should accept evolution

Scientific American ^ | October 2006 issue | Michael Shermer

1. The LAW of Gravity: what goes up must come down.

You are incorrect. The Law of Gravity is F=G*(m₁m₂/r²). It is not proven. In fact, it is known to be inaccurate.

That was proven even by Sky-Lab!

You are wrong. Skylab did not "prove" the Law of Grawity.

2. BUT IF "Absolutely NO scientific claims are proven" then WHY do you put so much stock in the "Ever-Changing World Of Evo-Mythologly"?

Scientific theories can be well-supported by evidence, establing high confidence in them.

As to the carbon dating snit, I've answered that as many times as I care to.

This does not change the fact that your claims were demonstratably false.

- You can explain/clarify if you so desire.

Ask me again tomorrow and I will be glad to explain some of the details of radiocarbon dating. This thread tonight has sunk to lows I don't want to associate with.

1. Evolution is a MYTH because there is NO uniformity in the dates, interpretation of the "evidence", and NO uniformity in the STORY of evolution.

Please show that this claim is true.

2. I have. But you're too busy choosing blindeness to evidence that you missed/ignored it. Example: Remember this- Over 330 prophecies concerning The Messiah's first advent- ALL fulfilled BY/IN Christ Jesus. There was more but you ignored it then too.

Please demonstrate that the prophecies were actually fulfilled.

Indeed...when someone has to use all caps, sorry, but I just skim right over it...

Exactly. I used the same strategy once for posts written in blue.

Is this thread still in the Religion Forum?

[Dimensio]

- By "demonsttratably false" you mean your OPINION is "better" than mine.

It is not my "OPINION" that carbon dating cannot produce a date of "millions of years", it is a fact. You made a statement about carbon dating that is not true. You made a demonstratably false claim. This is fact, not opinion.

[Dimensio]

- I HAVE...keep reading.

You have made vague assertions, but you have made no specific claims, nor have you provided evidence that your vague assertions are true.

If I Only Had A Brain Placemarker.

We have a guy, an intelligent, literate guy on FR, arguing geocentrism.

LOL. Where was this? I guess it was only a matter of time...

[Dimensio]

- Huh?!! You think there IS ONLY ONE UNIVERSAL MYTH of evolution and that all it's BELIEVERS are in 100% conformity to it in all it's deatails?!!

I have asked you to provide evidence of your claim. You have not done so.

- Goodness gracious! The evos have changed the dates of specific happenings with the frequency that excells the times they change their underdraws.

When has this happened? Provide an example of such a change.

- Later "scientists" refuted/retracted the BOGUS claim that that woman was the "first mother of mankind"..wow!

When was this refuted and/or retracted? Please provide a specific reference.

- And I've ALREADY answered the DNA "question" LOTS. Go to my links and READ something.

You have provided absolutely no specific explanation as to how DNA evidence refutes evolution. You have made vague assertions that have no relevance to DNA evidence. You are making demonstratably false claims again.

[RightWingNilla]

But for a layman to tell working archaeologists what they have or have not found is another.

How do ya think I feel when these guys say the "DNA evidence disproves evolution"?
