That's interesting, thanks for the heads up. Physics is fascinating for me. My teacher is quite incompetent, since he basically spends about five minutes out of fifty-five going over theory, then leaves us to our own devices. Discipline is practically non-existant. As much as the subject...

This will have to be my last post on the subject. I just flunked a physics exam and my maths final is in a week and a half, so I no longer have time to do research. If you are looking for fossil specimens of each and every single minute stage of development from nothing up, don't bother...

I really need to watch the movie. Or read the book. Or both. I'm such a troglodyte :eek:

Actually, I think I understated the geologic column a bit. We have millions of sites with subsets of the geological column. You can find a 100,000 year column in just about any backyard in the country. Finding a million year column is only trivially harder. A column that is a hundred million...

This is an argument from ignorance. Not knowing an explanation does not mean an explanation is impossible. And since we are barely beginning to understand what consciousness is, it is not surprising that we would not have its origin worked out yet. Something that likely contributes to the...

Understood. I will try my best, but in this case, it will be difficult since there is a lot to argue over. I have a tendency to be thorough and to ramble a bit. Also, if you can't reply to an entire post, let me know. I'll wait until you do before continuing. I don't expect, or require you...

First, I apologise to Jericho_Falls for my sarkiness in my previous post. I have a tendency to get grouchy when studying. I assure you, I am not usually that caustic. If the arguments are discredited, why are they still valid? Do you have counter-proposals to my own? And why the change on...

So you must assume in philosophy. If not prove to me that you exist and have concious thought. All things have underlying assumptions even "free will", "God", "history", this lamp on my desk. All things can be doubted. The test lies in the repeatability of experience and accuracy in the...

Not necessarily. As I stated before, the first cells would have been much, much more simple than the simplest lifeform we have today. Amino acids and complex proteins have even been known to form in space. Self replicating molecules need not be all that complex and protein-building systems can...

Indeed, I also appreciate your efforts in debating. It makes a change from the hostile replies I often get on other boards. Evolution was conceived through putting together a theory through observed phenomenon. Note that Darwin was Christian and mentioned himself his own belief in God in his...

Also to add to WildBillKickoff: When you mentioned that you had a problem with the spontaneous generation of life (by this I take it you mean how life first 'sparked' into being) then it isn't an evolution problem, it's abiogenesis. Evolution doesn't attempt to answer that question, it is...

Point taken and duly corrected. However, I wasn't inferring Christians in general are lazy. I apologise if that was the percieved tone. I am used to more hostile responses on this subject, so my response was in haste. A lot of arguments I recieve during these debates are usually "Why is...

Please correct me.

Regarding the beginning of your post, if the art is to be taken to mean that dinosaurs (assume the ones depicted) existed at the same time as man, then surely there would be evidence that they were together wether man knew to stay away or not? Remember; some of the art depicted hunting scenes...

About the pictures, there were at least a few that looked weird. A few didn't even look remotely like dinosaurs. http://www.kingsnake.com/monitor/tricoloredmonitor.jpg http://www.petreptiles.com/repdb/showrep.php3?id=8 Monitor lizard. These babies can reach up to seven feet in length...

Sorry, I don't quite understand your point?

Indeed, some specimens had diseases like arthritis, but many do not. They are sometimes known as homo sapiens neanderthalensis The differences are large enough to consider them different (emphasised brows, sturdy skeletal structure and and elongated skull) from modern humans. You are...

Nope. A list of prominent hominid fossils The thing is, it is oft argued that fossils are 'obviously' ape or 'obviously' human. Yet creationists never seem to decide, even among themselves which are what is who. By 'most', what do you mean? Do you have a list of the number of fossils (or...

Bolds mine. Since the researcher has said it is not purely genetic, don't you think this sort of proves Mr Bill's point? Neither he nor I have said we believe it is purely genetic, that was the point of our arguments. If anything, you have argued our point for us. EDIT: -Deleted- Nevermind...

First of all, phantom, the name's Jim, not Tim Second, Gen, it is quite rude to answer a question with a question, but since I am a minority opinion here, I will oblige and expect similar favor when it comes your turn. Also, to make a point abundandlty clear, no I'm am not of the opinion...
