Hey, PH.
Thanks for responding to my post at long last!
That post #106 is my post. It has potential for what, Doc?
>Thank you and goodnight.
Good night.
Just one creation story. I think I made my point from a year or two ago so that I don't need to post them very often.
What I am having fun posting now is some of the fossil man data. Many on these threads have never seen that actual data that they are denying exists or that has no meaning.
Whoa! Here's one now! (Cute little guy, too!)
Site: Buxton Limeworks, Taung, South Africa (1)
Discovered By: M. de Bruyn 1924 (1)
Estimated Age of Fossil: 2.3 mya * determined by Faunal & geomorphological data (1, 4, 5)
Species Name: Australopithecus africanus (1, 3, 7, 8)
Gender: Unknown (1)
Cranial Capacity: 405 (440 as adult) cc (1, 3)
Information: First early hominid fossil found in Africa (7, 8)
Interpretation:

>I'm trying, oh Master, I'm trying.
I'll try, O Master! I'll try.
What is you're talking about, anyway. What is this potential of mine you're talking about? Am I in? Have I, out of the blue sky become a "somebody?"
LOL!
The branching divergence of evolutionary trees tends to mean we should be about equally unrelated to all plants. This tends to be approximately true. Some creationists have tried to spin this "in their favor" by citing how humans and monkeys are equally unrelated to fish. This plays on the misconception that since the monkey is "lower" than man and the fish is "lower" than the monkey, the monkey should somehow fall between the fish and the man in relatedness. What actually happens is that modern fish, man, and monkeys are all "modern" but have diverged in a pattern like the one below.
Man Monkey Fish | | | | | | | | | --------------- | | | | | | | |<==(Ancient amphibians) | ----------------------------- | (Ancient fish) | |Looked at properly, there's an ancient split between true fish and the ancestors of amphibians. Every modern thing that comes off one side of that branch has been diverging for about the same time from everything descended from the other side of that split. That's what we see and what we should see.
>Just for your edification, theories do not graduate to laws, the two serve different purposes.
Coyoteman just explained to me this difference between theory and law. He said a law is a generalization based on observation and can stand on its own. A theory starts from a well thought-out hypothesis and after testing and retesting it may become a theory. I hope I'm not misquoting him.
It's kind of an honor roll.
Excellent point!
You're good. You can make mince meat out of these evolutionist cultists.
>Yahoo! They're back!
Who's back?
Nope. Laws are just mathematical descriptions of empirical regularities. For example physical objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and the inverse square of the distance between them. That's the law of gravity.
Theories attempt to explain the mechanisms behind laws. The theory of gravity seeks to find precisely what causes masses to attract each other, i.e. curves in the fabric of spacetime, microscopic particles called gravitons, etc.
Are you still repeating the well-debunked lie that Darwin repented on his deathbed?
I'll give you this. Your homepage goal about uniting all Christians is something I've been wondering why it isn't more prevalent. As a non-Christian, I've often been dumbstruck by how often Christians fight and argue with each other about their particular denomination. Let alone the whole Catholic vs. Protestant thing.
So, at least your heart is in the right place. If I were a Christian, I'd be right behind you in that effort, 100%. Then, jerks like me would have to stop pointing out the ridiculous nature of modern Christianity and all it's petty bickering.
But I digress. About those brainless chimps...
