OK AB, great, now you are an enlightened creationist that can now ignore all data and evidence put forth. Congratulations.....ignorance is bless.

andy__ get over it, plenty of scientists are passed over for the NP for a whole lot of reasons, none having to do with religion, you makem mountain out of mole hill.....

yes DP, I too would like to know who is controlling the levers of science. Its been my experience, controlling scientists is like herding cats...

DP seems to have an obsession with C-14 and ignores the many other radiometric dating methods for very old objects. Questions for DP & believer our young earth friends: Why is there no naturally occurring Plutonium-239? Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years. If the earth is less than 10,000 years as YEC claim, then there should be an abundance. If the earth were 10,000 years, then there wou...more

DP seems to have an obsession with C-14 and ignores the many other radiometric dating methods for very old objects.

Questions for DP & believer our young earth friends:

Why is there no naturally occurring Plutonium-239? Pu-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years. If the earth is less than 10,000 years as YEC claim, then there should be an abundance. If the earth were 10,000 years, then there would be no need to make Pu-239 in reactors, we could mine for it just as we do for U-238. If the earth is only 10,000 years in age, why no technetium-98, no neptunium-237, no aluminum-26, no iodine-129, no plutonium-244, no calcium-41. Why would these elements not occur naturally as they would be products of supernovae as are all heavy elements higher than iron that occur on earth?less

2011, what DP is referring to is universal health care in canada. In the US, health care is limited to members of congress, government workers and those healthy enough to hold a job at an employer that provides heath care insurance. if you are one of those unfortunates that have pre-exisiting conditions, lost your job or do not make enough to afford health insurance premiums you are pretty much ...more

Oh, that one, thanks for the clarification...lol

< Contrary to his generalization that religion is not self-correcting based on data, >__

Well so far, it has not self-corrected- rejects evolution and old age universe. So, let me know when its self-corrects......

< he conveniently excludes archaeological evidence >__

OK, how about this- archaeological findings indicate human lineage going back millions of years ago and along with comparisons in genetic make-up, chimps and humans are cousins. Humans and chimps also share a common ancestry with the other great apes. Great ape species are in the biological family hominidae- includes humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans.less

godis__ < .... Bible can be fully trusted, and the Creation account is absolutely plausible. >___ not from an evidentiary standpoint

philo__ < but scientists are just as biased as anyone else might be >____ perhaps, but other scientists call them out unless the data supports the argument. you see, unlike religion, science is self-correcting based on data and evidence, religion has neither..

AB___ < I think the word you are looking for here is unyielding. >__ that would describe the church for a very long time in its ptoleimiec dogma describing the universe, they eventually came around to reason...

andy, the good professor can take solace in knowing the creator has a place for him in heaven and the heathens at the NAS will be sent to be tortured for an eternity.....

yes indeed steve, the NP is there for the taking. puzzling thing, there are thousands of researchers that know evolution a fraud and have data to completely discredit evolution and potentially set themselves up for the big prize, but have chosen instead to perpetuate the fraud...I know a professor at the university of chicago that works in evolutionary biology that told me quietly he is really a ...more

yes indeed steve, the NP is there for the taking. puzzling thing, there are thousands of researchers that know evolution a fraud and have data to completely discredit evolution and potentially set themselves up for the big prize, but have chosen instead to perpetuate the fraud...I know a professor at the university of chicago that works in evolutionary biology that told me quietly he is really a creationist and says all the data supporting evolution is made up, but he is afraid if he brings it up he will lose his three weeks vacation and his health and dental plans, so he just keeps quiet and plays solitaire on his computer all day, he says he is getting quite good at it and wins most of the time.........less

yes RB, today's religious social conservative's that reject evolution outright are the modern day equivalent of the catholic church's dogmatic position on the ptolemiec view of the universe-all dogma, no evidence. just as the heliocentric view was eventually accepted in the face of overwhelming evidence, so too will evolution in the face of overwhelming evidence.

believer_____the basic problem Xian fundamentalists have is the mountain's of data in support of evolution such as common descent. Perhaps your misinterpreting "Word of God"- A&E, 6 day, youth earth things......It's OK to adapt, XIans eventually accepted the heliocentric view and survived......

seq is an unfortunate victim of religious indoctrination..

watch___ __ the south aiways manages to find ways to keep itself down.....

joann___< *evolution is not about facts but the interpretation of facts. >_____WHAT??? you mean facts such as data showing earth 3.4 billion years old, but its really only 6000 years?? your not making sense again..... best stick to your religion, science not for you.......

watch____you are one of those unfortunate victims of religious indoctrination.. < theory of evolution are being abandoned by more and more true scientists every day. >___oh really?? please name. BTW, creationist do not count as scientists, they are theologians, so please don t waste our time with those names. thank you

watch____you are one of those unfortunate victims of religious indoctrination..

joann, got any names from 20th/21st C??____< True Christianity has advanced and continues to advance science not hinder it. >__How so?? cite any examples how Xianity contributes to scientific advancement??
