There is way to many arguments that can be contested from either side of explanation. As one of the posters had stated, "It is pretty much all an 'Acceptance' of a belief."
I for one don't buy into the whole "Creator" scam, or the Bible is a "Divine" book from a higher power. Though I do lean towards the "Sciences" of this issue, it is only my part of the analogies, they are not for sale and I am not giving them as a force fed food for thought.
The title of this thread is totally misleading and it was the reason why I even posted here, hoping it would be some kind of "New" found evidences of this being factual and respectable. It was neither.
ferociousracer313 has a different frame of thinking than myself, and there will always be another question to a very appropriate and widely accepted scientific finding, because it is not what the OP "Wants" to hear.
As like a majority of you posters of this particular thread, "There nothing to be seen here, move along." Is the exact feeling I get with all the rebutting with nothing more than "He said/She said" accusations and finding's that aren't proven one way or the other.
If you are a "Skeptic" of the Bible, you more than likely favor the "Evolutionary" points of views for topical conversation, and if you are the religious type, you will automatically and adamantly defend your personal faiths and beliefs of what is written in the Bible and what you have been brought up to accept as fact.
Arguments don't produce anything but a major headache, and trying to conclude things as a "Factual" basis without proofs is an argument in the making, which is the vicious cycle now taking place here.
Though it does deserve to be discussed and pondered on, it is an "Unaccepted" science for the facts, none provable by Biblical explanations, that are currently out there. It will only be answered one of two ways , "We create a time machine and go back to the beginning of it all." or "God all mighty comes down for a visit and puts it all to rest." Which, no stretch of the imagination, will probably never happen, well, not in my life time any way.
We are getting blue in the face from lack of "Oxygen" so, "take a breath and be content with your own thoughts of what is what." For now, it is a moot point of topical discussion and will be argued for years to come from both or either side when the questions and issues a rise.
and life can only arise from organic compounds

Two centuries later, that belief came up again but with bacteria and algae. A scientist came along again, and he showed that life only comes from other life, including large animals and also algae and bacteria. That is basic biology.
except it hasnt and all the evidence just keeps building a stronger and stronger case for it
The point is, primordial soup will also be debunked. Actually already is but they still persist
and did the testing show we were on the right track? yes
Yes really. They made it up and then started testing it.
thats becasue you didnt read those links
Well, there is still no proof. If you have proof you can make some of the compounds with a soup,
your absolutley right
it does not mean life derived from it. You know why? If you take a cell, you poke it, every ingredient flows out. You take all those ingredients, put them in the soup, they will not form back to a single cell. EVER.
who does?
I just gotta react to this one separately. And they wan't us to believe there's no life out there??
its still undisputed
Oh really? Here's my answer:
news.bbc.co.uk...
If they are willing to do that, how reliable is that whole evolution thing? Really..???? Be honest with yourself here.
Archaeoraptor liaoningensis is a hoaxed fossil that linked dinosaurs to birds. It was allegedly found in China in the 1990s and was described in the November 1999 issue of National Geographic as “a true missing link in the complex chain that connects dinosaurs to birds.” The specimen is actually a composite of two dinosaur fossils.
Xu Xing, a Chinese scientist who had initially helped to identify the fossil, was the one who eventually blew the whistle on it. He announced that he had found a second fossil containing an exact, mirror-image duplicate of the Archaeoraptor's tail, but attached to a different body. Fossil stones, when taken from the ground, often cleave in two, producing two mirror-image sets of fossil slabs. Evidently someone had taken one of the slabs bearing the tail fossil and affixed it to a fossil of a bird, thereby producing a hybrid dinosaur-bird creature. (Museum of Hoaxes)
skepdic.com...
The Archaeoraptor hoax is an example of how science works. When an error is made or fraud is committed, it is discovered and dealt with publicly. Science is self-correcting, unlike creationism. If this case was unusual it was due to the hoax being discovered almost immediately after the National Geographic article appeared. The Archaeoraptor fossil only had a few months of glory as the missing link between dinosaurs and birds before it was exposed as a composite. We now know that the head and body of a primitive bird and the tail and hind limbs of a dromaeosaur dinosaur were glued together by a Chinese farmer.*
Dr Timothy Rowe, of the University of Texas at Austin, told BBC News Online: "Now that we know which pieces really do go back together properly and which do not, we can see that there is a new species of extinct bird present in the forgery and that it definitely deserves to be studied and described.
"The tail came from a different animal altogether, and it has already been described and named Microraptor. We may never know where the legs came from."
I could but I DONT MAKE THIS UP,
Oh come on... This sounds like Pokémon. Everyone can make that up.

The origin of whales (order Cetacea) is one of the best-documented
examples of macroevolutionary change in vertebrates1–3.
As the earliest whales became obligately marine, all of their organ
systems adapted to the new environment. The fossil record
indicates that this evolutionary transition took less than 15
million years, and that different organ systems followed different
evolutionary trajectories. Here we document the evolutionary
changes that took place in the sound transmission mechanism of
the outer and middle ear in early whales.
Yeah of which they usually only have 20-30% of the bones................
it really does matter
It doesn't matter which one.
nice shirt whats this guys qualifications? ahh doctorate in bible studies. he seems to think the ape to human image was drawn to support evolution, it was originally drawn to mock Darwins orgins but was such a good image it was adopted and updated

Not really. First, i'm not a christian or anything, and second, the artists make up a lot of stuff about the fossils and the fact that they do that is already proof that they know there's no true evidence.
how would you know? you havnt even looked at it
That great weight of evidence your talking about is not great at all..
actually Behe gets ridiculed not becasue he believes ID but becasue his work is shoddy incomplete and generally useless
You really think they want to challenge it officially so their career would end? They only say it in private, and when they come with another theory, like Behe, they get ridiculed.
really?
Except positive mutation are not possible and never have been observed.
Family members, according to the investigators, have bones so strong they rival those of a character in the 2000 movie Unbreakable. “If there are living counterparts to the [hero] in Unbreakable, who is in a terrible train wreck and walks away without a single broken bone, they’re members of this family,” said Lifton. “They have extraordinarily dense bones and there is no history of fractures. These people have about the strongest bones on the entire planet.”
Members of this family carry a genetic mutation that causes high bone density. They have a deep and wide jaw and bony growth on the palate. Richard P. Lifton, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Genetics, along with Karl L. Insogna, M.D., professor of medicine and director of the Yale Bone Center, and colleagues, traced the mutation to a gene that was the subject of an earlier study.
you do realie theres an extreme differance between saying it isnt and proving it isnt?
Yeah like i showed, that evidence isn't really evidence.
actually i did watch it
Originally posted by vasaga
No it isn't. It's obvious you didn't watch the video at all looking at all that crap you just posted. THEY DO PROVE IT SCIENTIFICALLY, but i guess you turned it off after one minute and didn't bother..
i bring you acurate up to date scientific papers and you ignore them but insist i watch poor quality misrepresentational videos?
www.youtube.com...
www.cnt.ru...
Watch this whole part, till they show you the experiments, or read the document below the video, including the two sources. If you don't bother doing any of those two, i won't bother discussing with you. Is that clear?
no they dont
See the sources above. They debunk those two videos already.
they all use exactly the same methodology argon argon c12 and the many others
No it isn't. See the sources above and what i explain below.
o_0
If every duck i see is brown all ducks must be brown. Formal fallacy.
theres a difference between radioactive decay rates and actually bieng classed as radioactive material
You do if strata are no time indication.
everything is intrinsically radioactive
The argon-argon dating they use is based on radioactive argon... Check wikipedia... Now we already know you don't really know what you were talking about here...
no it doesnt they arnt checking how much lead the rock contains
This make the rock appear a lot older than it actually is.[/
no evidece and making up excuses?
Stop making excuses you have no backed up evidence for.
argon can escape from the liquid lava so it has none as it all escapes
That video is false. It does not matter if the argon-40 has a parent or not.It's still the same type of matter and there is no difference between one that came from potassium and one that was already there.
i agree
If you make hydrogen with chemical processes it does not make the hydrogen different than any hydrogen found in nature..
no it isnt its tested
THAT IS ASSUMING THE RATE STAYED THE SAME, which is unlikely.
and then go out and prove it or throw it away as an idea
If it does that now does not mean it was so in the past. And they don't guess, they make assumptions. A LOT of assumptions..
no its imperically tested to a level well beyond reasonably dought, if this was a court case all 12 memebers of the jury would reach the same conclusion is they payed attention to the evidence
What you are saying is plain false...
After receiving his first correspondence degree, Hovind started the Creation Science Evangelism ministry (CSE) in 1989. The ministry aims to evangelize people by teaching them creationism. During Hovind's trial the prosecution said the ministry does not have the proper licensing nor is it registered as a nonprofit, which resulted in legal troubles.
Now here's the fun part...
Kent Hovind had been charged with falsely declaring bankruptcy, making threats against federal officials, filing false complaints, failing to get necessary building permits, felony assault and battery (charges later dropped),[120] and various tax-related charges. He was convicted of federal tax offenses and related charges, for which he is currently serving a 10-year sentence.
Hovind was charged on September 13, 2002, for failure to observe county zoning regulations with respect to Dinosaur Adventure Land.[31] Despite arguments that the owners did not need a permit due to the nature of the building, the park was found in violation of local regulations.[121]

it was a hypothesis as it had remianed unproven

Learn to read buddy. He did not say the same. He said it didn't get a chance to become a scientific fact, while i say, it was a scientific fact until proven wrong. That's very different.
there was practically no oxygen perfect atmosphere?
Yes i do know. "the perfect atmospheres,
no
buildings blocks,
organic chemcials can form it a wide variuety of temperatures and pressures that why we find them in space
pressure and temperatures,
what make our own cells? we can www.newscientist.com...
As long as they can't do that, it's not proven.
great analogy but flawed
You can say we're getting closer, but as long as it's not done, it's no proof. Period. If you try to headshot someone in call of duty, and you missed by one pixel, but you were soooooo close, you still did not hit him. Period.
Did i say oxygen? No i didn't. Don't put words in my mouth ok?

Go nitpick someone else.
no
primordial soup has nothing to do with the building blocks bieng there, they formed as a result of it
pressure and temperatures,
Yeah and that's why they're so successful at creating the first living cell.

No my friend EVOLUTION is a fairy tale...

True. Evolution is true to some extent, but that a bacteria became a fish which became an amphibian which became a reptile which became a bird or anything like that is just far fetched.. There's no proof for that. They only see evolution in small stages, and they say, oh, it must be for all life at all times..
You are absolutely correct. People have taken the idea of evolution and turned it into a faith, just the same as christianity, when in actuality, it is miniscule, to the point where most evolutions cannot even be detected on the surface level.
To say it doesnt exist, though, is folly.

If this wasn't a religious thread the Mod's would put [HOAX] tags around your title.
In fact, not only was Evolution not officially debunked, this man provides no evidence against Evolution besides making you feel stupid and threatening you with Hell Fire.
This is the problem with Christians. Their single goal is to push their beliefs on every possible human they can until the day they die.

Hey guys (Skeptics studs), Got a bit of time to join the wonderful discussion…
Found this Nuclear Physicist (Stannard, I believe)…to OT he presents a fairly balanced perspective on life, the universe and our future…no Bible Thumping (you know how OT loves the WORD) but I thought I’d mix it up a tad for fun…
Nah, I think you like his approach…no hype, no shouting, etc…he presents that probability and chance actually lend itself to a creator…
He also discusses the ROBOT thing that OT mentioned a few dozen threads ago…
Take a gander and let the ole’ guy know…

Yoda411,
I just joined...what type of data would you like to see? What would be credible in your eyes?
Help OT out....
Kent E. Hovind (born January 15, 1953) is an American Young Earth creationist and conspiracy theorist, currently serving time in a federal prison for tax-related crimes.Since January 2007 Hovind has been serving a ten-year term in the Federal Correctional Institution, Edgefield in Edgefield, South Carolina, for 58 tax offenses, obstructing federal agents, and related charges.[5]
In 1971 he graduated from East Peoria Community High School in East Peoria, Illinois. From 1972 until 1974, Hovind attended the non-accredited Midwestern Baptist College and received a Bachelor of Religious Education (B.R.E.).
Kent Hovind had been charged with falsely declaring bankruptcy, making threats against federal officials, filing false complaints, failing to get necessary building permits, felony assault and battery (charges later dropped),[120] and various tax-related charges.
Hovind was charged on September 13, 2002, for failure to observe county zoning regulations with respect to Dinosaur Adventure Land.
Hovind's Creation Science Evangelism ministry is not listed as a tax-exempt Code Section 501(c)(3) charitable, educational or religious organization by the Internal Revenue Service[128] nor is it considered a church by people who work there.
In 1996 Hovind unsuccessfully filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying federal income taxes claiming he wasn't a citizen of the US and did not earn income.
On May 13, 1998, Hovind and his wife attempted to evade responsibility for any promises, debts, or legal agreements made prior to April 15, 1998, by filing a document called "Power of Attorney and Revocation of Signature"[135] with the Escambia County Clerk of Courts.
In 2004, IRS agents raided Hovind's home and business to confiscate financial records. On June 3, 2004, the IRS filed notices of Federal tax liens of $504,957.24 against Hovind and his son and their businesses due to previous legal maneuverings to evade taxation by moving property between himself, his son, and other legal entities.
After the conviction Hovind was incarcerated in the Escambia County Jail as a "danger to the community" and flight risk.
In addition "the government also has taken 10 properties from the Hovinds" for money owed.
