    The Creationist Explanaton

    My almost 7 year old asked a question the other day and after explaining the answer to him I wondered how creationists would answer the question: "Why do dolphin tails go side to side and shark tails go up and down? Why are they different?" Basically, why are shark tails and dolphin tails...

    I just don't *want* to believe!

    I've been thinking a lot about the whole evolution/creation thing and as a result I recently learned something about myself. I was thinking, even if someone could 100% prove to me that there was a moment in the past where nothing became something, and even if someone could 100% prove to me that...

    Torturing animals to teach Christians a lesson!

    Some will make the case for making half human half chimp monsters: http://nautil.us/issue/58/self/its-time-to-make-human_chimp-hybrids So in yet another prestigious scientific Magazine we get a full on assault on our sense of decency. And definitely an attack on those that don’t believe in...

    Why can't anyone see this, its like a great delusion.

    It has become quite evident that Charles Darwin did not explain the origins of life very well. He did a great job of portraying minor variations of natural selection and in many cases he is correct. But his endeavor to convince man that all appearances of a great design can be explained via...

    Chaos theory contains God of Theism

    Because any slight change in conditions (like the positions of the atoms) in billion years prior to the first cell creation will catastrophically change the outcome to “there is no first cell”, then the probability of atheism is exactly zero. Therefore, the atheism does not exist, however...

    Good Creationist Biological/Biochemistry/Genetics Reading?

    Can someone well-versed in the science of creationism provide me with a good reading(s) to combat common evolutionist claims? I stumbled across this site CCC No. 3: "Horizontal Evolution vs. Vertical Evolution" – Jack Scanlan which is basically some kid saying something to combat creationist...

    Why is one religion so devided?

    It is difficult for me as a Christian to understand why there are so many different theories about how we came to be. There are those who literally believe the scriptures that the earth was created in a weeks time (and consequently no more than about 3000 years old). Other Christians believe...

    Official retirement from intelligent design

    In trying to track down information on William Dembski's dissertation for a PhD at the University of Illinois at Chicago I ran across this. It's an announcement that he is officially retiring from ID. It's a short announcement, but here is an even shorter extract that contains the gist of it...

    Whole genome genome duplication event in Arachnid evolution

    Spiders and scorpions evolved after a whole genome duplication event in arachnids. This discovery joins evidence for WGD events in horseshoe crabs (2), jawless fish (2), telost fish (1) and even rainbow trout (1). https://phys.org/news/2017-07-rare-genome-duplication-spider-evolution.html...

    Discussion on the topic of evolution - Who believes what?

    Hello, I'm not keen on arguing the case at all. I just hoped that folks here would be able to give me an answer on the below to perhaps ease the concern I'm feeling. I'll say upright - I was baptised as a child, but I do not have any Christian beliefs. My mother is a very religious lady...

    Statistical proof of God

    Let us find probability of Omniscient being, called “God”. God must know own existence. Thus, among the available knowledge exists the knowledge of God's existence. Thus, the God exists with exact 100% probability. This very good correlates with YEC calculation of the probability of Divine...

    What is the mechanism to stop "kinds"from turning into other "kinds"?

    What is the mechanism and how does it work that stops accumulated mutations from accumulating to the point of classifying the organism as, creationists say "something completely different "? Because there are millions of pieces of evidence that says that can happen then it is certainly up to...
