    I'm Looking for Evidence Against Current Dating Techniques

    The variation is in terms of fractions of a % and, if confirmed, of course casts no doubt on radiometric dating because it varies about a mean on a 33 day cycle. So as long as you are dating things more than about 1 year old the fluctuation is meaningless in terms of getting an accurate date...

    Creationists, please provide evidence

    Wrong, as I have pointed out before the MRCA is set at a wide range of years, you are just picking the date witin that range that you like the most. And this method of calculating the MRCA does not give the date of the oldest human common ancestor of all humans. Wrong, the Y chomosome is not...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Minor changes to the position of a species in the history of the diversity of life do not challenge the reason for the diversity of life. ToE is not the classification of every single species that ever lived, its the reason why there is a need for such classification and predicts that such...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Of course if the cambrian is supposed to validate the bible as literally true that would mean that we have found the biblical definition of kind. Its phylum.

    What does the fossil record say?

    What you are ignoring is that the sequence is not sea creatures, winged flying creatures then land creatures as the bible has it. Its not literally true according to the cambrian explosion. Its sea creatures, land creatures then winged flying creatures. Also the bible puts land plants before...

    Big bang theory?

    The Turok/Steinhardt model is not the 60s bang then crunch model. It implies that the rate of expansion would increase and better explains dark energy than the current big bang cosmology (according to the explanations I have read). One of the tests is to do with the polarisation of the cosmic...

    Big bang theory?

    Its the more recent work on branes that it more interesting and has made some testable predictions. Its the work they have published in the last couple of years, although I had to read the guide for dummies as physics is not my thing.

    What does the fossil record say?

    And with cladistics you should not form paraphyletic groups where species of those groups are still in existence. Clades should always be monophyletic.

    Big bang theory?

    The hypothesis of Steinhardt and Turok (as well as being potentially testable) does not require ex nihilo creation of our universe.

    Big bang theory?

    I just looked, I have different demi-gods on either foot.

    What does the fossil record say?

    What is accurate is to say that humans are not descended from any living species of ape or monkey.

    What does the fossil record say?

    Apes are also monkeys according to taxonomy. Because both infraorders Platyrrhines and Catarrhines contain species that are monkeys that means that they must share an ancestor (who was a haplorrhine) that is also a monkey, that ancestor must have been before the Platyrrhine/Catarrhine split...

    Creationists please define Kind

    No, you are the one who is unable to understand the words in the quotes you paste. What your paste actually said was "would not even attach to the zona surface of non-hominoid primates" that is not a group that includes chimpanzees and gibbons. Your paste stated that the sperm would not only...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Not strictly true, humans did descend from monkeys (and apes) just not any living species of monkey (or ape). Our distant ancestors were monkeys.

    Creationists please define Kind

    Chimps are Hominoidea, which means that this study shows that human sperm will probably attach to the ova of chimps. Note that this experiment was not testing for actual pregnancy (I doubt such an experiment would be possible nowadays what with the need to get ethics board approval). Once...

    Most often: There was nothing and it exploded.

    Circumcision should be banned

    Or you could do your job and remind people that personal attacks are not allowed, especially as you have had the attack pointed out to you. Edit - But no, you decided you would make a personal attack.

    Creationists please define Kind

    So what? The title is a lie, they have not redrawn the entire bird evolutionary tree, they have rearranged the more recent twigs to conform to observed reality because we now have better evidence from genetics than we had from genetic. And the redraw shows, yet again, that birds evolved from...

    Creationists please define Kind

    The funny thing is that all the scientific evidence that you post supports ToE, all these changes to the minutiae of the history of the ever-changing life in this planet in accordance with new evidence are not challenges to ToE which is the reason why there is a history of ever-changing life on...

    What does the fossil record say?

    Exactly what evidence has been contradicted? The evidence of Tiktalik has not been contradicted in any way, you just lack an undertsanding of ToE and science whcih is why you misrepresent the facts.
