Great, just how I want someone to remember me... :) That picture even gave ME the willies :eek: Cheerio, ttfn and all that. And ta for the debate on said Homonid thread, you were a real sport :cool: And I shall remember you avatar as the one which reminded me of my second all-time...

I’m sorry but if I don’t do this, I will explode. # photosensitive cell # aggregates of pigment cells without a nerve # an optic nerve surrounded by pigment cells and covered by translucent skin # pigment cells forming a small depression # pigment cells forming a deeper depression #...

In fact, I think I will stop now. It seems I have been too provocative. I apologise for the offense I seem to have caused. I'd rather this didn't escalate, for the sake of argument or otherwise. I enjoyed the arguments more when there was an air of amicability. It seems that air has been...

I am sorry for being rude, Arkanjel. However, I do not think Christians to be fools by virtue of the fact my parents are devout Catholics, and only one of my real-life friends is an atheist, the rest being Christian. Please do not assume I think the worst of my opponents. But why are you...

Arkanjel, you shouldn’t just parrot entire articles and leave it at that. It’s dishonest at best and doesn’t show that anyone understands, just that you happen to trust the source at their word. If you can’t understand the article in question, how can you understand the refutations? Having...

A trait shared by the vast majority of scientists in the relevant fields. The below is not an alternative, since it isn’t even correct. No. Descent from ape-like ancestors didn't consist entirely of, or even mostly of beneficial mutations. If you are going to argue genetics, please get...

In addition to Eon’s link of the haloes faq, I would highlight some points about it if it is too long to read: The main points being: 1) Polonium forms from the alpha decay of radon, which is one of the decay products of uranium. Since radon is a gas, it can migrate through small cracks in...

I think you misunderstand; I don't have a problem with miracles or invoking them. They're the least you would expect if Noah was under protection from God. In an argument of evidences and practicalities, miracles don't work though. That is why invoking miracles in a debate when both sides use...

Because they would be dead. Pure and simple. If the flood occured and no aquatic animals were on board, there would be no surviving aquatic animals. And we would have little to none today. Certainly not the diversity we see, bottom-dwellers, large mammals and fresh and salt water fish. That...

Once again, to avoid derailing the other discussion further, I will answer this here (since it seems to apply anyway) By Edenic, you are referring to the vapor canopy, yes? The vapour canopy is impossible. A vapor canopy with more than twelve inches of precipitable water would raise the...

This is to avoid derailing the previous thread any more. What, including whales? Insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds? I take it the brachiosaurus and tyrannosaurs were crammed in there too? You still haven’t defined kind nor come up with a solution to aquatic animals besides Noah...

Yup, but the point was never if the ark was supposed to sail around, function like a sailing ship, but to act as a sturdy vessel. In that size, It would have taken a lot more than wood and eight people without modern or even semi-advanced technology to keep afloat and intact. In this case, I...

Well, this is Ghandi's thread- after this I'd better not get further into the Noah stuff since I already derailed it. :rolleyes: Correct, but that isn't what is under contention; it is the numbers. Size don't matter if you have several hundreds of millions of specimens of creatures all...

Just a couple quickie nitpicks: Which, incidentaly, is supposedly many times larger than any entirely wooden vessel built with modern techniques. Ships half the size of the ark would require metal bracing and technological assitance to keep afloat (Bilge pumps for example). Not to mention...

Oops. I did not intend to be so hostile. I addressed the replies like I was talking to the authors of the quotes. I apologise to Arkanjel if I was rude.

You owe me a new irony meter. Do any creationists know why the Theory of gravity, Theory of limits (for calculus), Theory of relativity etc are called theories? Hint: It’s not because it’s a guess or a half-baked idea. See below for evidence and why it is not accepted on faith but by...

Can I add to that? :) "If I determine the enemy's disposition of forces while I have no perceptible form, I can concentrate my forces while the enemy is fragmented. The pinnicle of military deployment is formless: if it is formless, then even the deepest spy cannot discern it, nor the wise...

It's an interesting observation Montrez. However, you might remember that back before there were written records, these leaps and bounds might've been impossible. Before formalised agriculture and education, people would have been at the mercy of the seasons and fertility of the land...

Here's one: the mother of all questions; the cream of the philosophical stumpers, the veritable peak of human curiosity-piquers (sp?) Here it is: *ahem* Why oh why, am I so utterly, unforgivably bad at Tribes!? :mad:

Sound is really just vibrations made into electrical signals which our brains can make sense of. Since these vibrations occur wether or not human ears are present to convert it into recognisable 'noise' doesn't affect wether those vibrations occur. Does gravity exist if there is nothing...
