[quote]Only of themselves....haven't you heard the population of most if not all of Europe and Canada is in serious decline below fertility replacement. Why's that do you suppose?[/quote] That is not completely true. Back in the 70's there was a big push for ZPG, it was all the rage in Europe but not so much in America. Since the population in Europe is dropping and services still need to be done the Africans are moving in to fill the gap. So yes there are fewer Europeans but they are

[quote]I think, because humans are currently responsible for a modern mass extinction.[/quote] You think incorrectly. Please name ten soecies that man has killed off to prove your point. There are species that go extinct every day, maybe they evolved into the new species that man keeps finding. I have not heard of any mass extinctions which is why I asked for you to name or list them. Thank you
[quote]Thus far as far as I can tell, man's bodily "evolution" is incompatible with science. Darwin's evolution, that man evolved from lower forms of life, has always been a guess, pure conjecture, without any real evidence in its favor. intermediate forms are missing and strict proof is entirely wanting. All attempts to justify Darwin's theory has been discredited.[/quote] This is why I put evolution in the class of religion.
[quote]I'm curious where would that put Adam and Eve and the subsequent Fall on your time scale?[/quote] I don't know. Bible scollars suggest Adam and Eve were here 4004 years before Christ based on the book of Numbers conting back the generations, but that is only a best guess. the flaws with that is we have documented writtings that go back 10 thousand years ago and the scollars only go back 6000 years.
[quote]Nothing personal, but creationism as science is nonsense.[/quote] I never said it was a science. It is a belief held by a lot of people and protected by the laws of the land. The teacher violated the laws of the land by doing what he did. He was found guilty by two courts if I remember correctly because it went to the local court system before it went to district court. I could be wrong. My article had nothing
[quote]The quote you cited is a little complex. Probably, as you stated, because the scientists are just trying to pay the bills and have to impress people to make them think they are big important people deserving of money.[/quote] Actually it is government grant money most seek because they get to live off the money for years. If you get a grant it usually includes living expenses. That is how all that crap came out about global warming. Once the grant money dries up they move
Happy days I have just received a letter from a publisher that wants to publish my book!!!!!! [e digicons]:grin:[/e] happy happy day! They like it, they really really like it!! <span style="font-fam
[quote]Paladin77, why do so much research only to know so little? Go read a textbook on evolutionary analysis if you are really curious what evolutionary biologists think. Personally, I think ecology and other big things biology can be a lot of hocus pocus in practice. [/quote] You missed the point of my article. As Mr. Darwin stat
"Although I am fully convinced of the truth of the views given in this volume I by no means expect to convince experienced naturalists whose minds are stocked with a multitude of facts all viewed, during a long course of years, from a point of view directly opposite to mine. But I look with confidence to the future to young and rising naturalists, who will be able to view both sides of the question with impartiality." ( Charles Darwin ) Even Mr. Darwin did not expect pe
[quote]Says who? On what scientific basis do you conclude this? Who set the rate-of-change meter?[/quote] http://www.darwins-theory-of-evolution.com/ I see your point but don't get angry at me, Re-read my original post I laid it all out there. I am just trying to point out that the supposed billions of years it is supposed to take for evolution to
[quote]1) There were extinction level events so great that evolution would have had to start over again this is false. Many species survived the KT event and no I'm not going to list them alphabetically with their geographic location the information is readily available do your own homework. Insects such as the cockroach, dragonfly and centipede and many small insectivore mammals, the largest air breathing an
[quote]Did you even read my entire post? I say this now (when it's the secularist being punished) because I would say it if it were the non-securalists being punished as well. I don't care what side you are on... it's wrong to be penalized for your beliefs in America. To be glad that "the other side" of this OR ANY argument is being penalized for their beliefs just because you feel as though you have been treated unfairly is petty and vengeful (both very un-C
[quote]So the teacher's not permitted an opinion? Hmm.[/quote] Daiwa, you are correct, the teacher is not permitted an opinion, just like the Christian teachers are not allowed an opinion. Had the secularists had left it alone and not pushed so hard to eliminate religion from a school system created by Christians. Okay, they pushed hard and won now the other side is fighting back using the same laws used to silence Ch
[quote]While I understand your joy about the belief creationism not being able to be discarded in the classroom, to want to penalize the other side for expressing their belief is hypocritical.[/quote] I think you missed the point. Americans have been told for decades that if a teacher mentions God in any way that is favorable, that teacher has been fired, sued, and smeared by the secularists. The reason for this was t
[quote]There was a mass extinction 65 million years ago not an explosion of life, the Cambrian explosion happened some 580 million years ago is that what your referring to? The biomass of the planet was far greater in the time of the dinosaurs than it has ever been since and the majority of species survived this event.[/quote] I find fault with this, here is why. If you look at the fossil records you find dinosa
[quote]Sorry seems to be my day of not saying things the PC way... seems to me that she was saying that.[/quote] Please don't misunderstand me, it is not what you said or how you said it. I just wanted to read her point of view on the subject. You are always free to express yourself.
[quote]She's trying to say plates move therefore they change the earth, however she's using the word evolve instead which doesn't fit.[/quote] This is no a rebuke, please let her explain. I say this because I don't want to misunderstand what she ment.
[quote]Having a (big) bank fail is a major problem for the economy (and will have a negative impact on the stock market). Certainly not a minor problem that should be brushed off as you indicated in your original post.[/quote] The bank going bankrupt will have other banks picking up the bank and moving on, the bailout money crippled the economy. In trying to save a few banks now all banks are subject to fail. When the
[quote]All you are proof of is that your professor was a pathetic excuse of an educator - and it's a strawman anecdote, anyway.[/quote] Sorry, it is the best I can do because I don't try to speak for everyone I used my own experiences. [quote]Plate tectonic theory does nothing to invalidate or disprove evolution. To the contrary, plate tectonics and evolution have been inescapably intertwined. And what is plate tectonics but 'evolution' of the physical earth?[/quote]
[quote]Who is forcing the theory of evolution on anyone? No one is required to believe it, for Christ's sake (pun intended). [/quote] If you wish to get good grades in school you have to act as if you believe it. If you disagree you will be punished with bad grades even if you say all the right things on your test papers. I am proof of that, I went from an A in biology to a C just because I argued with the professor. That is forcing religion on people. NYU 1975 Ran into the same
[quote]But you can easily see while the Holy Bible is not a science or history book, it does a good job of refuting "amoeba to man" evolution theory, i.e Darwinism, as well as stellar or cosmic evolution theory.[/quote] Sorry I still miss your point. [quote]I was just trying to make a distinction...not very well done I guess....my bad.[/quote] Okay now I get it. I disagree. The bible was never designed to be a book of science. Darwin's book was and it was wrong.
[quote]Now lets say you have a major bank fail. Given the various regulations in place to try and prevent this happening, it's a sign that somethings gone seriously wrong, and in turn means that the other banks may well do worse than expected, hence you'd expect their share prices to drop (in other industries it'd be less clear cut - on the one hand a failing company could indicate tougher market conditions driving the share price down, yet against that there'd now be reduced competition mean
[quote]Still worrying inadequate. If you're going to tell me my information is out of date, you should have the decency to actually check that statement before making it. I'll help you out this once though. At the time where you had banks starting to fail, what was the insurance level?[/quote] It was at 250k and had been for about a year or more. It was a temporary increase that lasts through December 31 2009 then Congress will bring it back down to 100k unless they want to make
