Bill Nye: The Earth is Really, Really Not 6,000 Years Old
Hi Poolcleaner,
I think you're arguing from a false premise, that a belief in Creation science does not contribute to what you call true science. Some of the greatest scientists who ever lived were creationists. Here is a list of a few of them:
http://creationsafaris.com/wgcs_toc.htm
Their belief that God created an orderly Universe based on laws (which is the reason we call them laws) highly influenced and inspired their exploration of the cosmos. Here are a couple of quotes:
When with bold telescopes I survey the old and newly discovered stars and planets when with excellent microscopes I discern the unimitable subtility of nature’s curious workmanship; and when, in a word, by the help of anatomical knives, and the light of chemical furnaces, I study the book of nature I find myself oftentimes reduced to exclaim with the Psalmist, How manifold are Thy works, O Lord! In wisdom hast Thou made them all!
-Robert Boyle, Chemistry
The more I study nature, the more I stand amazed at the work of the Creator.
-Louis Pasteur, Medicine
Creation science is a collection of data which supports the idea that the Earth is young. Some of the theories within creation science are testable and predictive, but as a whole you cannot put it in a lab and perform a measurement any more than you could do so for macroevolution, because they both concern what happened in the past. You cannot observe macroevolution happening anywhere nor can you subject it to empirical testing. You can make observations and inferences based on a theory, but that is subject to interpretation.
I wouldn't keep beating this horse bloody if yours hadn't died HUNDREDS of years prior.

Interstellar -- new film from Christopher Nolan
In case you're wondering (like me) what this movie is about:
A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage. (imdb)
Asteroid 2012KT42 passes earth closer than geosync satellite
Just a few decades ago, most scientists thought the idea of asteroids crashing to Earth to be ludicrous. Today, this same idea isan accepted fact. Not only do asteroids fall to Earth, but more are being discovered every day. Yesterday, one of these newly-discovered asteroids just buzzed Earth. Coincidentally, this comes just days after NASA said that thenear-Earth asteroid population was larger than previously thought.
Monday, asteroid 2012KP24, which is about 69 feet across, came within about 32,000 miles ofEarth, well within the Moon’s orbit. Yesterday, asteroid 2012KT42 came within a mere 9,000 miles of Earth. In a fact thatmay be especially disconcerting tosome, the time span between discovery and close approach for the second asteroid was only a day! Talk about next to no warning.
Now for the good news: the asteroids were small and even if either were to collide with the Earth, they may not even have been large enough to survive the descent through the atmosphere,burning up in a spectacular fireball instead. Still, though, the fact that an asteroid can sneak up on us out of space with only afew days notice is the troubling part of this whole situation.
It is a perfectly logical idea that an asteroid could, one day, destroy life as we know it on Earth. The good news is that scientists are busy developing plans to avert doomsday. The problem is this: in these doomsday prevention plans, the time frame for a response is typically, at the least, months, notdays. With only a couple of days notice and with current technology, it would probably be impossible to do anything to save the planet and our civilization.

"Building 7" Explained
>> ^LordOderus:
A match burns at around 1000 degrees Fahrenheit, so I have no problems believing thousands of pounds of paper, wood (from furniture) fabrics and plastics (which are made from petroleum) could easily exceed 1000 degrees after burning for 7 hours.
Other things that can exceed 1000F:
-The elements on your stove
-Well ventilated cigarettes
-candles(better than 1400F)
Oh, and well ventilated wood can top 3500F.
If marinara takes this to heart I'm sure he'll be back shortly with a newly discovered understanding of the difference between energy and temperature, and some brand new misunderstanding of how to apply that to the problem.
Raw Video: New Tsunami Video Surfaces
@TheSluiceGate Those people probably died. I'm glad they cut away so we didn't have to watch them drown.
The guy who's talking in Japanese at the beginning is yelling at the workers still by the water:
"What the hell are they doing?!? Get out of there, run!"

Truth About Transitional Species Fossils

<multiple quotes>
So your evidence that evolution isn't real is a series of quotes, many of which disagree you, and only one of which is from the last decade essentially saying people view evolution too simplistically?
You won't surprise anyone by pointing out that scientific theories change over time to include newly discovered evidence. What you are lacking is an alternative theory that more accurately accounts for the available evidence.
As for your assertion that mutations can only destroy information.... No.

The Scopes Monkey Trial, 1926
Excerpt of Bryan's never-delivered closing argument...
Outmaneuvered by Clarence Darrow, William Jennings Bryan never got to deliver his closing argument in the Scopes trial. But soon after the trial -- and Bryan's subsequent death -- the entire text of Bryan's 15,000-word argument was published as Bryan's last speech. Here are a few excerpts:
