So did the Greek philosopher Anaximander (ca. 610-546 BC), who lived at about the same time that the book of Job was written. Perhaps Anaximander and the author of Job got their information from the same source (Babylonian astronomers?). In any case, the Earth does not hang on nothing; it is in...
There is another flaw in Gentry's argument. As "Polonium Haloes" Refuted points out, the interpretation of the 'polonium haloes' as proving that the Earth's rocks were formed instantaneously is inconsistent with the overwhelming geological evidence that the Earth has a very long history of at...
Can you give a reference?
Again, can you give a reference? Where does the Bible say, for example, that it is already two hours before noon in India when the Sun is rising in Rome?
Job 26:7 says, 'He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.' It does not...
It would have been more accurate to say that the Earth is ~4540±20 million years old, the solar system (including the Sun) is ~4570 million years old, and the universe is ~13.8 billion years old.
Yes. Linnaeus (who was a creationist) classified us as primates in 1758, 101 years before the publication of The Origin of Species.
Why do you refer to humans as 'they'? Are you not yourself a human?
You have got it the wrong way round. The physical environment is changing all the time, and living things (not only animals) adapt to the changes in the environment.
This is actually a sensible question. I can't answer it, not being a biologist, but I think that you ought to follow Dan from Smithville's advice in post 2121.
Do a google search for topics such as 'human evolution', 'human fossils', 'hominid fossils', 'australopithecines' and 'primate species...
Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow wrote two books together, The Grand Design (2010), which I have read, and A Briefer History of Time (2005), which I have not. Which of these two are you reading?
Also, why are you reading a book by a cosmologist (Hawking) and a theoretical physicist and...
I googled on 'oldest homo sapiens fossils' and found an article in Nature (7 June 2017) by Ewen Callaway, 'Oldest Homo sapiens fossil claim rewrites our species' history' - Oldest Homo sapiens fossil claim rewrites our species' history - Nature . According to this article, 'Remains from Morocco...
Nothing can be absolutely trusted, because there is always the possibility that new observations will give different results. However, if, for example, radiometric dating of the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary by different methods and in different continents consistently yields ages of about 65...
Probably from supernovae. The source of your information is A.L. Strom et al., 2023, Astrophys. J. Lett., 958 (1), L11, ShieldSquare Captcha .
The galaxies that Strom et al. observed have redshifts z = 2-3, implying that we see them as they were about 10-11 billion years ago, or 2.5-3.4...
The retrograde rotations of Venus and Uranus are probably the results of collisions with other planetary embryos. Such collisions were common during the formation of the planets (about 4500±50 million years ago); we owe the existence of the Moon to the Earth's collision with a Mars-sized...
How much of what science says about evolution are you willing to accept? 90%, 80%, 50%, 10%, 5%, 1%? What specific parts of the scientific account of evolution do you reject, and for what reasons?
