    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    There is certainly a lot more in this link. Much of it explains the experimental evidence that shows how organic and pre-biotic compounds could have formed on the early Earth. The problem of the origin of life by natural processes may be poorly understood, but, on the evidence in your link, it...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    What you call 'sedimentary volcanism' is not the same as true volcanism. True volcanism is the eruption of molten rocks (lava, or rock above its melting temperature); sedimentary volcanism, which geologists are familiar with, is the intrusion or expulsion of a suspension of sedimentary material...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    If the Earth was entirely oceanic 3.2 billion years ago, that was because there were no continents at that time. Now there are continents, so it is no longer possible for the whole of the Earth's surface to be covered by water. There is something wrong here. The present volume of the water in...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    Yes, but this was in the North Atlantic Ocean, not in Mesopotamia, and it was about 8200 years ago, nearly 4000 years before the traditional (Ussher's) date of Noah's flood. All it shows is that there have been massive inundations during the Earth's geological history, not that there was ever a...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Do you also think that snow and hail falling from clouds should be considered design by cloud people? Do you think that the formation of organic molecules such as ethyl formate, methanol, ethanol, vinyl alcohol (ethenol) and butyronitryl (propyl cyanide) in the Sagittarius B2 interstellar cloud...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    This is off the topic of NOAH's FLOOD, but I don't mind trying to answer your second and third questions. (The first is out of my field.) Yes, the Earth probably did form naturally by accretion. Astronomers have observed protoplanetary discs surrounding young stars, and have even found evidence...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    The water in the upper mantle is not present as liquid water; it is in chemical combination with the mineral ringwoodite. If it were to reach the surface it would erupt as lava, not as a flood or as a steam geyser. Can you give me any information about this large scar, for example its latitude...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    This is begging the question. It assumes the existence of a massive water halo in the upper atmosphere. There is no evidence for any such water halo, and it is probably physically impossible. Have you got a published reference (preferably not a young earth creationist one) for these statements?

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    What would you expect to find (for example, geologically, palaeontologically and archaeologically) if there was a time when all things were perfect? According to Greenland melted recently: High risk of sea level rise today: Long-lost ice core reveals that most of Greenland was green 416,000...

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    The water is not present in liquid form; it is chemically combined with the mineral ringwoodite. If it could be brought to the Earth's surface it would erupt as molten lava, not as a flood.

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    According to the website of the Natural History Museum - Dinosaur Diaries: Human cancer found in dinosaur bone - it was an osteosarcoma in the right fibula of an Upper Cretaceous horned dinosaur (a Centrosaurus) found in Alberta (Canada).

    Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

    In 2015 Snelling wrote an interesting and useful paper in Answers Research Journal about the classification of meteorites. However, I think that he went off the rails when he tried to explain the radiometric ages of meteorites.

    God is disproven by science? Really?

    There are eight planets, and at least five dwarf planets, in the solar system, and only one is in the habitable zone. This suggests chance rather than design. There are hundreds of billions of stars in the Galaxy, and probably most of them have planets. By pure chance, some of these extrasolar...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    (1) That the structure of even the simplest living cell is supposedly devastating for evolution. (2) That DNA is an abstract coding system that points to intelligence. (3) That the gaps in the fossil record have got worse, not better, since Darwin's time. (4) Evolution supposedly offers no...

    The Four Dirty Secrets Against Darwin Evolution

    I am inclined to think that we first gained an accurate idea of our place in the universe when 16th-century and 17th-century astronomers showed that the Earth is not at the centre of the universe, and that, on the contrary, it is only one of a number of planets orbiting the Sun, which is itself...

    Creationism Creates Confusion for Christians

    Are you saying that there are many gaps in the theory of evolution, therefore the theory is false, or that the theory of evolution contradicts the Bible and therefore people who claim to believe the Bible cannot believe the theory of evolution? The first assertion is definitely false; the second...

    Darwin's Illusion

    You haven't answered my question in post 8,230; do you regard Homo erectus and Homo habilis as humans or people?

    The Search For Truth

    The Appendix (pp. 363-369) of the book Flat Earth: The History of an Infamous Idea by Christine Garwood (Pan Macmillan Ltd., 2007) quotes 40 verses from the Bible that have been used as 'proofs' that the Earth is not a globe.

    The Search For Truth

    There are only two possibilities; either the universe had a beginning or it is eternal. For the Bible to get the right answer is no more impressive and no more evidence of supernatural inspiration than guessing correctly on the toss of a coin. Also the descriptions of the creation in Genesis 1...

    Darwin's Illusion

    Do you think that the ancestors of lampreys also evolved to become great white sharks, rays, pike, eels, mackerel, plaice, halibut, sunfish, oarfish, mudskippers and sturgeon?
