Love how they call themselves the "Science Research Foundation" yet they demonstrate a complete lack of understanding regarding basic tenants of science....thus.....they do no research.

I highly doubt that Dawkins would waste his time debating Oktar - it would make as much sense as having Stephen Hawking debate the nutball who runs timecube.com.

"Sorry. The chalk layer is not millions of years old either.
http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v8/i1/chalk.asp"
http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v8/i1/chalk.asp"
"Roth10 suggests that in the surface layers of the ocean these carbonate-secreting
organisms at optimum production rates could produce all the calcareous ooze
on the ocean floor today in probably less than 1,000 or 2,000 years. He argues
that, if a high concentration of foraminifera of 100 per litre of ocean water
were assumed,11 a doubling time of 3.65 days, and an average of 10,000
foraminifera per gram of carbonate,12 the top 200 metres of the ocean
would produce 20 grams of calcium carbonate per square centimetre per year,
or at an average sediment density of 2 grams per cubic centimetre, 100 metres
in 1,000 years"
ehm..L2 MATH!!!
Chalk, solid
2499 kg/m^3
http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_materials.htm
20 gram per cm^2
sooo you say that's 2 gram per cubic cm?
soo thats 2000 kg per cubic metre, that's
2000/2499= 0.8 so that's 0.8 cubic metre per year soo thats 0.8x1000= 800 metres per 1000 years.
now why do i find this hard to believe>?
not to mention you think that fotosynthesis would still under a 5 metre carpet of algea.
....GO BACK TO SCHOOL ROTH!!!!
"Then using Roth’s calculation
of a 100 metre thickness of coccoliths produced every 200 years, Woodmorappe
found that"
so they suddenly increase their "value" by a factor of.... gr8 science.
but srly, this is so BS.
"Nevertheless, both Woodmorappe and Roth recognize that even today
coccolith accumulation is not steady-state but highly episodic, for under the
right conditions significant increases in the concentrations of these marine
microorganisms can occur, as in plankton ‘blooms’ and red tides. For
example, there are intense blooms of coccoliths that cause ‘white water’
situations because of the coccolith concentrations,11 and during
bloom periods in the waters near Jamaica microorganism numbers have been reported
as increasing from 100,000 per litre to 10 million per litre of ocean water.18"
LOOOOOOOOL . are you trying to kid me? is says nothign about the
surface area!!!! not only that, but i highly boudt that a layer of
fotosynthisizing plankton could reach more then 4 metres...AS THE TOP
WOUL BLOCK OUT THE SUN!!!! PROHIBITING GROWTH!
L2 biology and L2ecology
it isn't called a ecological equilibrium for nothing.
any1 please correct my if i miscalculated.
YAY! i figuered something out!
"..ocean
would produce 20 grams of calcium carbonate per square centimetre per year,
or at an average sediment density of 2 grams per cubic centimetre"
the conversion to gramsper cm squared to grams per cubic cm is
IMPOSSIBLE. or at least it deifeis my understanding of mathematics.
however i discovered soemthign fun.
lets do that math again
20 grams per square cm so 20x 10 000= 2x10^5 grams per square metre
now lets add a thousand years and turn it into kg...x1000 and /1000
so it stays 2x10^5
2x10^5/ 2499= 80.03 cubic metre of chalk per 1000 years...ITS STILL NOT 100!!! :D!
not only that, accordign to the context, shells disovle too, so
either it's LESS than 100 ...OR 77.5% of the shells dissolve... WHICH
IS IT?!
still this renders the other claim bunk, as they suddenly increased the value by a factor of 5.
oh and for the metric maths pplz my . is your ,
so when i say 0.5 I say 1/2 and not 5 in some mangled way."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccolithophore
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_zone
now im just gonna go ahead and cut you off, if you wanted to post
this as counter agrument to my statement of the photic layer being less
than 200 metres (ignoring the context of maximum algea saturation that
is....)
the Photic zone CAN comprise of 200 metres in the open ocean. but
it greatly depends on the shallowness of the water..AND THE AMOUNT OF
ALGEA!!!.
so the creationist reasoning of 200 metres of algea producing
20grams of calciumcarbonate when all 200 metres are saturated with the
algea, and not to forget, its nutrients and the extra co2 required. of
course we must also ignore the fact that that situation if eutrifieric
adn will result in the annihalation of all marine life, withing the
span of a few months.
but back to the sujbect at hand. 200 metres of maximum alge
saturated water? no way. the top layer of about 10-20 metres would
pretty much block out al the light at maximum saturation. not to
mention that if the entire ocean was coveren in sucha layer pretty
much anything that hunts on sight is doomed to starve.

im gonna keep posting that everytime you say you caught me in a lie on this, and ever time im gonna ask you to show me where the miscalculation or the ecology fail is.
and my hypothesis is......YOU WON'T EVER RESPOND TO THAT REQUEST.
the maths easy, any 1 could spot a miscalculation if it's in there.

Isn't this an interesting form of rhetoric? BigDog, like so many creationist, lies through his teeth however he seems to believe that so long as he continually and falsely accuses others of the transgressions he is guilty of somehow no one will notice he lacks any level of moral character.

I would ask you to elaborate on or give examples of those half-truths - but if your posting history is any indication, you would simply dodge the question.
Those of us who aren't blinded by fundamentalist religious convictions are able to comprehend that it's a waste of time for any reputable scientist to debate creationists - or proponents of any other pseudo-science, for that matter. The only purpose it serves is to give charasmatic snake-oil salesmen (like Kent Hovind, Ken Ham, et al) more attention than they - or their ideas - deserve.

oh yes! math and exposing logical fallacies are bullshit! might as well say statistics and peer reviewed articles and of course understanding ecology, biology and chemesty BS!
" please

like the "fact" that a creationist think a transitional fossil is somethign you call a "crocoduck"? or that everytime you make some "commen descent claim" you claim we descended form amodern organism...which proves that you have no clue as to wtf a common ancestor is?
or the "fact" that over 99% of the world biologists accept the theory of evolution while about 66% of them believe in a deity, proving that evolution and religion aren't mutually exclusive or that being a proponent of evolution isn a religion?
and of ofcource we have the "fact" that placed under the most basic of scrutiny most creationist agruments fall to pieces...
oh yes i like my "illusion".
"What a bunch of researchers. If science were to rest in your hands the world would certainly be in big trouble."
you do understand that ID supporters need to change the definition of science to make their "research" scientific. don't you?
"instead 325 accused me of dishonesty"
noooo i accused you of hypocrasy at claiming Dawkins manipulated the viewers while it is the creation proponents who do a whole lot more manipulating. cherry picking science blunders any1? or quotemining?
"What is your discipline? What do you guys hold a degree in mud pies?"
actually i don't hold any degrees *yet. im still finishing of my secondary school which is rife with all that stuff you call science..like biology, chemestry and physics. of course we also had the nessecary education on what science actually is wiht a few years of philosophy and general education of natural science (the history and meanign of science).
*i've enrolled in an accredited university in my country to study biotechnology. and no, its not some "evolution university" in the way you have bible universities.
lets just say my university has the largest medical lab in the country.

OOH that's jsut weak
you do realize that a wirtten debate won't allow him to wriggle out on his views do you? and you do realize that a written article or debate is the thing that's peer reviewed.
it's is much more likely, seeing as hovind's histroy of not understanding basic science and the scientific method, his misrepresentation and downright manipulation of the audicen (quotemining, strawmanning) that he KNOWS he will never win in an written debate.
PS: seeign as he's written a theisis (which he won;t let anyone see) he SHOULD posses the ability for a written debate. and if he did not, he could always hire a writer to help him write it.
the excuse is a bitchslap in the face of hovind's "scientific credibility"
"Double standards here again, Darftkins gets excuses from his idol

a written debat is not a spoken debate (due to the severity and "you can't deny this" of a written statement in a debate). saying it is a true double standard is a false comparison and therefor a fallacy.
YES to someone who is a proponent of kent it is a tempting target. but in all debating truth, hovind's reluctance to not initiate in a written scientific peer reviewed debate when discussing science, is much more severe then Dawkins not wanting to debate in a spoken debate, which has a fixed time limit, an small audience which reacts to the debateand hovind can rethorically wriggle his way out of his (verbally claimed) positions.
(imagine a room full of creationists who don't understand squat about genetics having to ask Dawkins the same old debunked arguemtns...that's just waste of time and sidesteps exposign hovinds flawed logic)
"All he is interested in is MONEY, and laughing all the way to the bank,"
coming from the guy who supports someone who was put into jail because of fraud....irony
but srly, when we look at who's backing up hovind and how, it's unlikely dawkins makes as much money as hovind does with his speeches and material. and if you think he does. give sourced evidence.
you made the claim, now back it up.
"If I had the amount of knowledge Darftkins has, I would actually agree with what he says."
you do know that this is a very serious accusation for against a scientist don't you? because what you are in fact doing is calling the entire part of the scientific community (a large majority that is otherwise he could never have been so respected) a bunch of idiots.
so not only are you insulting Dawkins, you are also insulting all the other people who respect him as a scientist.
also before you could even make ANY sucha claim on a whim. it might be better that you gain the same or more respect then Dawkins within the scientific community.
i don't care if you call me an idiot, but don't even try to touch peer review.
those claims are almost alwayst of the same level of validity as saying "the entire scientific community hate god and christians, thats why they mercelissly crush creationist arguements!"
For which any scientist would either laugh himself to death, or he'll get really angry.

Who is "Darftkins?" Is that some sort of attempt to be clever? If so, I'm afraid it failed.
As for Hovind - "debate" is a very generous way of describing his snake-oil sales pitch. He seems more like a cross between a used car salesmen and mediocre standup comic than a debater/lecturer.

worshipers,for not wanting to debate, yet Kent Hovind gets critisized

First of all: why in the world would Dawkins waste his time debating someone who clearly has no idea what he's talking about.
Second of all, you do realize that the written word is how proper scientists debate differences of opinion, right? Hovind's inability to touch-type is a really poor excuse - has he never heard of transcription?

No, he's just given an obvious and convenient excuse.
Dawkins, on the other hand, has several valid reasons for not engaging in verbal debate with creationists. It would make about as much sense as Karl Sagan debating someone from the Flat Earth Society, or Stephen Hawking debating the TimeCube.com nutball.
How can a written debate be more dangerous than debating on film and
all the videos
For one, because written debate would allow fact-checking of Hovind's claims. For another, it would give his opponent time to properly research his responses, rather being limited to what they can remember off the top of their head.
Sadly, there are plenty of people who are gullible enough to be
taken in by complete and utter BS - just as long as the person spouting
it does so charismatically and with confidence.
Look at the success of David Eicke if you don't believe me.
open to anyone, anywhere, to do with as they please.
At least until Eric Hovind and other infantile creationists fraudulently make DMCA complaints against them, that is.
He has not got the IT factor ""Charm""" he really is very boring.
You're basically proving Kevin's point for him.

no you meaning you 325. You made this personal so now put on your half wit hat and try to shift the blame to people who actually have some intelligence? You really need to be more responsible for your actions.
From some of the stuff I have seen passed off as fossils over the years crocoduk is a thing of beauty but you wouldnt know that being as incapable of reading as you are writing. Over 99% Thank you for proving my statement. Lying never makes up for research, may you learn this some day. I might accept that figure if it came from an honest researcher but coming from you with your track record I would have to see the pole. I dont have a challenge with the conclusion I have a challenge with your mentality. You are the only thing falling apart on this site. 325 is that why you misspell so many words and cant put structurally sound statements together much of the time so no one can hold you responsible for what you write? Gotta admit though your grtting better the last few posts I have actually been able to decode. Seems you are trying to say Dawkins is a respected member of the scientific community, is that a statement? I apologize I wasnt aware of that. Back it up. Lets see you find 10 statements defending his position on one particular subject and I am not referring to the paid commercials on the dust covers of his books, his wife or his mother. Does he have a wife? alwayst- nope cant find that word in the dictionary either. Just keep threatening people you incompetent. Maylon I dont think hes ever had a conversation with anyone who understood what he was trying to say let alone agreed with him.

Kevin and 325 you do realize you are arguing against each other and neither one of you are making sence? I guess its not impossible. Aint confusion grand? Thats where false accusations get you. If you keep up your innacurate attacks on Hovind you are gona have him cannonized within a few weeks. Saint Kent. Hmm gotta admit it has a ring.

no...... we are not.
kevin outlined the credibility issue.
i explained to maylon that his "double standards" was false comparison. and why a written debate carries more merit then a spoken one. and why hovind refusing written is worse then dawkins refusing spoken.
but no, you didn't really read that did you. you just read 2 different things about the same phenomena and then thought they excluded each other, while they actually cover 2 different aspects of the phenomena.
"If you keep up your innacurate attacks on Hovind you are gona have him
cannonized within a few weeks. Saint Kent."
apart form the fact that connonizing doesn't neccesarily prove the correctness of a document, you need a bit more then just "spreading the word" if you plan getting it "cannonized" in science or the schools. even with us "bashing" him.
"Hmm gotta admit it has a
ring."
so does "little prisonbitch Hovind "

For the record I find 325's posts a damn sight more comprehensible than yours - English isn't even his first language, yet he still appears to have a better grasp of basic punctuation than you do.
Every time I read one of your posts, this is what it makes me think of:

Actually Kent I agree, and have also noticed that, 325`s typing, and spelling is much better. Well done 325, and I am not being sarcastic here I mean it.

but why would i care?
as long as certain constonants stand in certain palces you can still perfectly understand what is being said no matter how many typo's i make. somehtign to do with word recognition. oh and i forgot to mention CONTEXT.
but my REAL problem isn't spelling. it's grammar, and the insanely lon gand detailed scentences i make. as any languege teacher wil ltell you.
and THAT grammer, is something i picked up from latin texts.

I love the Christian love on display.
Why would Dawkins debate? He gets nothing out of it and he gives a lot publicity to a crackpot. I don't think Dawkins will debate a flat worlder or the guys that think the bumps on your head has a special meaning (phrenologists?).
Why won't Kent agree to an email debate? His son could type it for him or he can get a service to do so. I would pay if he would agree to debate me. The real reason is he enjoys stating that articles say that a specimen is 20K yo in one location and 35K yo in another or other such. Thing is those are all lies as have been pointed out. In a spoken debate you don't have the ability to find the article, read it, and then point out his error. In a written debate you can do that very thing.
Creationists don't get to debate people like Dawkins for the same reason Green, Communist, and Reform part candidates do not get invited to presidential debates. It adds nothing and just gives the fringe publicity that they do not normally garner. He should ask Miller for a debate. Miller is more than happy to debate Creationists for the most part. I think because he is so religious and he wants those people to reject the idiocy that is Creationism.

Why don't you challenge Kent's son to a public debate? He's not in jail.

"Why don't you challenge Kent's son to a public debate? He's not in jail."
I will. just tell him to get skype and a some live blog software.
im not a scientist so they won;t get any credibility for it.
no loss, no gain. just good debatin!

No. I mean on stage, one on one, like the classic honest way of doing it. Like the way Hovind did it.

HAHAHA are you serious?!!
you call that HONEST?
SPECIFIC AUDIENCE MAN!!! almost all of hovind's crowd is creationist and has a very limited understanding of science.
thats not fair. that's RIGGED. the man could claim cows are bison and they would applaud him!
no, if he doesn't wan to do it on a written level, then the next best thing IS a live blog, where the ENTIRE internet can watch and judge the debate. and i can link article's so he can't wriggle out of misrepresentations and poor knowledge of science.
or maby you could convince them to pay my travel expenses and do their debate in a neutral environment..you know somewhere OUTSIDE the bible belt.

Do you think that is fair to Eric? I am no scientist but he would truly be out of his element.
I will send him an email and see if he is agreeable. I would be willing to do so in Pensacola if he wants to put me up for the night.
Two people on a stage is not honest if one person pulls out lies. That would make sense if it were a debate on ideas such as what would be considered proof of God. Having it broadcast live would be best as the rational community could immediately post when "errors" are made.
I will let you know if I get a response.

I'd be happy to. I'm not going to travel to the US just to do it, but I'd certainly be willing to do a debate by exchanging videos.
Of course, I doubt that would happen. I strongly suspect that Hovind (both of them) doesn't just have a phobia of written debate, but of any debate format where his opponent has time to fact-check & research his responses.

I would pay good money to watch a debate between Ken Miller and Kent Hovind. In terms of public speaking ability, Miller is easily as engaging / charasmatic as Hovind - yet unlike Hovind, Miller actually knows what he's talking about.
Of course, any scientist debating Hovind is like having a contest between a world-class fencer and a soccer hooligan with a lead pipe. No matter how skilled the fencer is, he'll be put at a disadvantage when his opponent isn't "hampered" by rules or compunctions about fighting dirty. E.g., Hovind's debate with Dr. Matthew Rainbow - where Hovind's idea of a counter-argument was to claim that Rainbow was going to hell for teaching evolutionary biology.
