    Inside The Worlds Most Unusual Fossil Site - The La Brea Tar Pits

    It's a 40 minute video but it's so informative. Two history YouTubers; Milo 'Miniminuteman' Rossi, an environmental scientist, archaeologist, and science educator, and Lindsay Nikole, a zoologist, go behind the scenes at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, seeing how the site treats the...

    It started with Darwin but it doesn't end with Darwin.

    This is something that needs to be really hammered home. Charles Darwin got things wrong. Charles Darwin was not a perfect man. Charles Darwin was a product of his time. Charles Darwin didn't know everything at all about science. These are statements that are true. All of those do nothing to...

    How to study the supernatural?

    This is something that repeatedly pops up every time someone goes on a rant against science not doing what they want science to do: SCIENCE ONLY STUDIES NATURE! Of course science studies nature. It's what science does. But if you want science to study the supernatural, that which is supposed...

    Why 'just a theory'?

    This is the claim I see brought up a lot from people who do not accept evolution and Creationists (I am separating them because though there is an overlap there is a difference): that evolutionary theory is worthless or wrong or of less value because it is 'just a theory'? So why is evolution...

    Why MICRO but not MACRO?

    This is something I see so often repeated in some varying form of argument: "Oh, there's evidence for micro-evolution, but there's no evidence for macro-evolution." This is so often touted as evidence of evolution being false, but no one has ever explained why the former excludes the latter...

    Nothing new under the sun... at least against evolution.

    This thought sprung to mind on seeing the last pair of threads that got quite quickly (and rightly) shut down that... the Creationist and Intelligent Design side does not really have anything new that they can try and levy against evolution as a science. Unless I can be proven wrong...

    Happy Smallpox Eradication Day!

    On this day in 1979, the smallpox virus was declared as eradicated. It was such a virulent and endemic disease that in the 18th century Europe alone, it is speculated to have killed on average 400,000 adults and children a year. Even in Britain, it wasn't gone until the 1930s. Even though...

    Facing having dentures at age 29.

    For the past two weeks, I've been experiencing sporadic tooth pain which got significnantly worse in the last few days, enough to wake me up in pain in the middle of the night. So yesterday after work, I managed to book an appointment at my local dentist for today to see what the damage is...

    Challenge: Is Evolution REALLY a theory in crisis?

    This is a claim I've seen bandied around more times than once; that evolution is a 'theory in crisis'. And yet not one person I've seen make that claim is able to actually say how or why it's in crisis. So, this is my challenge: show me how and/or why the theory of evolution is a 'theory in...

    My Evolution Challenge

    Why is it not possible for God to have used evolution to create the different lifeforms that we see in the world today and what wee have seen in the past and fossils of?

    Why no nuclear?

    This is something I often don't see in discussions on climate change and renewable energy, and while everyone touts solar energy (something which is still not perfect) and electric cars (which are heavily flawed and also require mass mining operations of lithium in Africa, which is a heinous...

    A Mistake A Lot of People Make...

    This is in response to the attempt at a thread of the laws of science vs the laws of God, and I think that it's an example of a big problem that a lot of people make regarding science. It'll be short and sweet though. Simply put: science is descriptive, not prescriptive. Science does not say a...

    What's the oldest book you own?

    I've been undertaking some research so I can do my own Medieval Fantasy story, and I've recently bought some books to read. One subject proved hard to find good quality books for, and that was the subject of Kiev Rūs, which is a period of Medieval Russian history, and... boy let me tell you, it...

    Challenge: Show me loss of DNA.

    This is a claim I see bandied around so often and also very recently: that in evolution, DNA is not gained, it is only lost. And yet, not once does anyone show it. The difference in the number of chromosomes between animals and species is not the loss of DNA. It's just the way that DNA is...

    Oldest Narrative Carving Found

    Honestly, I'm doing everyone a favour by censoring the actual title because it's a doozey. Man holding p**is and flanked by leopards is world's oldest narrative carving An 11,000-year-old rock-cut relief in southeastern Turkey featuring menacing animals and two men, one of whom is holding his...

    Pluto Challenge

    This thread is specifically for @AV1611VET since it's a topic he loves to bring up. Pluto is demoted from full planetary status to dwarf planet. It's still up in space, still going around the sun, the same as it always did since it formed all those millions of years ago. How does demoting it...

    Please pray for a wayfaring stranger.

    I've, just in the last few hours, have come down with some sort of malady that has me shivering spasmodically, running a temperature and a shooting and throbbing pain in my groin. No idea what the cause it, and I thought it was caused by a burst blood blister on my heel from my new Dr. Martens...

    MY Darwin Challenge.

    In response to AV1611VET's challenge question of "Was Charles Darwin qualified to say we came from Africa?", I shall ask my own question: Why does it matter so much that Darwin has to be shown to be right or wrong about anything he directly said about evolution? Dude's dead. He can't change...

    Challenge thread: Charles Darwin was racist... so what?

    This comment does pop up every so often when the theory of evolution is discussed: "Charles Darwin was racist, which means the theory of evolution is racist!" Or "The theory of evolution was used to justify slavery, which means that it's racist!" (Twice in the same thread too!) One thing I...

    Creationist thoughts on dinosaurs?

    Exactly what it says on the tin: What are Creationist thoughts on dinosaurs? I'm curious and I would like to know.
