Question for creationists

Submitted By DrWorm on 09/05/04
FreeHovind, DrWorm, General 

Next to the building I live in, which was built in the 30s, there is an outcropping of marble, which is limestone that has been metamorphosized under heat and pressure.  I can also see where the marble has been folded and faulted. 
 
Now if there has only been 4000 years since the original limestone was created during or after the flood, that would mean that my building has been around for 80/4000th or 2% of the time the rock has been there.  Wouldn't there be huge cracks in the foundation of my building if this folding and faulting is still continuing? 
 
If it is not continuing to fold, fault and metamorphize, when did this process start,  and when did it stop.
 
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, but this is not really my kind of expertise area so i can't really give a good answer. If only we had some geologists or something that could answer the question.

Your question is too vague. There are different factors that determine the erosion and weathering rates of marble and limestone. Since marble used for building and sculpting is pre-cut to fit architectural design, it subsequently would have to be measured for erosion and weathering from the time it was laid.
 
The mortar used is another factor to be considered. All mineral compounds are subject to erosion and weathering, depending on how well it is covered and preserved. So I would say, measure a crack in an exposed tablet month to month and then you should be able to make an estimation on how long it takes for limestone, under so many psi, to erode under typical weather conditions.

No, you did not understand my question at all.  It has nothing at all to do with erosion.
 
The question is: since the underlying rock upon which my building was built has obviously been placed under extreme stress which both transformed the layers of horizontal limestone into folded, faulted and metamorphosed marble, a 4000 year old time frame means that this process must have happend very very quickly or is still on-going.  If it is ongoing, my building foundation would have many cracks or would be completely unstable.  It isn't.  So what started the process of folding and metamorphasizing and what stopped it?

First, I will say since limestone is formed typically by calcium carbonate, ironically is usually formed by seashell remains by marine animals.
 
First, we know that limestone can form quickly. Upon the animals death, the seashell begins to dissolve, with the accumulation of sand and other sediments, the seashell crystalizes and 'voila'', limestone. Crystalline calcite expounds limestone and becomes marble.
 
Dissolving calcite can harden quickly like stalagmites and stalagtites. Dr. Hovind covers dissolving calcite pretty well.

Seminar part I; the age of the earth
 
http://answersingenesis.org/creation/v9/i4/caves.asp
 
Point being, limestone and crystalized calcite can and do form rapidly, certainly in a matter of years.
 
Marble is a very strong stone that, once formed, can withstand weathering and erosion for thousands of years. Good example, the pyramids. Made almost entirely of limestone, it has stood unwavered for thousands of years. In conclusion, Your marble crystallized, possibly many thousands of years ago, by dissolving calcite and accumulating sediments, within a intricate window of time. Once crystallized, can hold for years to come.

all of which have NOTHING to do with the folding in the marlde under DrWorm's house. oh and marble =/=freshly formed limestone
 
 
"Dissolving calcite can harden quickly like stalagmites and stalagtites. Dr. Hovind covers dissolving calcite pretty well."
 
under quickly we're talking about hundreds of years per inch......
what hovind gave where examples of stalagtites which where formed by chemical intervention by humans, not the stalagtites found in nature.

this has bugged me ever since you psoted this.
why is this "ironically"?
it's not anymore ironious then fungus making their cell wals from chitin or bacteria utilizing peptidoglycans.
or humans using calcium to makes bones.
 
the REAL itony is that the skeletons of the dead algea can be identifies and labeled. thus we can reconstructs the periodic formation of the chalk layes around the earth....
and this doesn't even vaguely support YEC.
 
funny...

You still aren't even close to answering my question. 
 
Neither you, nor Mr. Hovind, have a clue how marble is formed, it is nothing like the way stalactites are formed and stalactites are not anything like marble. 
 
FAIL
 
And you still haven't addressed the main issue:   How do you explain the extreme folding and faulting and why hasn't this process destroyed my building which has been around for a 2% of post-diluvial time.

No, not fail. It happened just as I said. The folding in marble, as I have said, Is caused by the hardening and crystalizing of the calcium carbonate. Pressure + heat = folding. The process of crystalization with heat and pressure causes marble to fold, once the crystalization stops and the marble is hard, folding mostly stops.

I would like to see where you have used the word "folding" in any of your previous replies.  I thought Christians were not supposed to lie.
 
You know nothing about geology.
 
Thanks for trying.  Not really.

Wow, you are kidding me right doc? Why not look at the more obvious.
!. The moon, only 1,000,000 years ago, would be close enough to boil the earth and no life would ever been possible.
2. polystraight fossils. If they layers are billions of years old, then how does a rootless tree stand upside down through millions of years of rocks.
3. Where's all the billions of years of moon dust Doc?
4. Cambrian explosion debunks Atheistic claims of slow macro evolutonary change.
5. We have less then 10,000 years of salt in the oceans.
6. Go to mt st helens for a geology lesson the Atheistic evolutionaries wish would go away. If it took millions of years in the grand canyon, but only a few weeks at mt st helen? yea, right.
 
 You see Doc, that is the difference between Atheists and Christians. Christians say we believe in God because no one can prove origins and God is a reasonable conclusion. Because, if you extrapolate back in the evolutionary mindset to the origins, then evolution gets proven wrong by observational evidence. We only observe life from life, and kind from kind. Which scientifically and observationally disproves Macro-evolution.
 
 Whereas you Atheists say there is no God and anyone whom doesn't believe in macro-evolution is stupid, sick, or evil. And yet you monkeys can never disprove God like evolution has been disproven. Although God may not be real, he is still very plausible. But we know macro-evolution is NOT possible, until a chicken pops out of a goose egg.

Because long age creationist became that way because of Atheistsic badgering, so the people like that are a lot more passive. Which means you are an Atheist, now tell me I'm wrong! But wait, don't bother, Atheists can lie guilt free. You see, maybe your not an Atheist because of the facts, but more of the moral freedom you think you get. Hmmm? :)

LOL???
HOW CAN WE LIE GUILT FREE???
 
if you hovind CAN't lie guyilt free.....his concsience should be eating him in jail.
you mess with science. you better expect your arguments to hold up. and if they don't, don't whine.
 
"You see, maybe your not an Atheist because of the facts, but more of the moral freedom you think you get. Hmmm? :)"
 
"moral argument" FAIL.
i stil have my morals. and i'd rather not follow the morals of a book that tells me to kill all non believers, or stone people over seemingly trivial reasons.
please don't use this dam argument, it's been debunked SO MANY TIMES.
 
and no, i;m an atheist because of the facts.
the cold hard facts.

"4. Cambrian explosion debunks Atheistic claims of slow macro evolutonary change."
 
So your argument is that the rapid diverisification of life 530 million years ago proves a youg earth.  Nice logic.

No man, maybe everything was layed down at one time, and maybe what we see is not billions of years, but hydrologic sorting by mass, density and access. Look up the documentary "experiments in stratafication" in google videos. and if you contest that, I will bring you back to your Polystraight paradox. And what about all the human artifacts? Look up Dr Don Patten, where he shows Atheistic desparation in destroying archaelogical findings. Why don't you sit down doc and figure out the ways that marble could have gotten that way in less than 10,000 years. But you sure as hell can't prove it was there longer. So maybe keeping an open mind would be better suited in giving you the answer for your question.

no hydrolic sorting doesn't account for the strata layers
do the actual experiment and find out for yourself.
 
"I will bring you back to your Polystraight paradox."
 
actually just give me the paper where is said that a tree is buried in several strata layers.
 
" And what about all the human artifacts?"
none of which are found very deep down, you know, in the layers we find dinosaurs?
 
"? Look up Dr Don Patten, where he shows Atheistic desparation in destroying archaelogical findings."
 
you mean the man who thinks that he found the ark, when all he found was a particular rock formation?
 
 
 
"Why don't you sit down doc and figure out the ways that marble could have gotten that way in less than 10,000 years. But you sure as hell can't prove it was there longer."
 
aha, yes we can.
we can look at the formation process and give and intelligent estimate at the conditions required and when it would have been in such condition. then calculate how long it took to form.
 
"So maybe keeping an open mind would be better suited in giving you the answer for your question."
 
dealt with this before.
the people whith the closed mind are you. not us.
see this vid for explination.
 
either you take all the evidence into account, or just not accuse us of such.
and this isn't referring only to the the Ark.

"!. The moon, only 1,000,000 years ago, would be close enough to boil the earth and no life would ever been possible."
 
ehm...actually i can do that calculation for you.
distance to the moon (min) 363 104  km
recedence 3.8 m per 100 years.
that's 0.0038 km per 100 years.
sooo 363 104/ 0.0038= 9 555 368 421 years
that's 9.55 BILLION YEARS BEFORE IT WOULD REACH THE CORE.
now lets not forget THAT THE AGE OF THE EARTH IS (about) 4.5  BILLION YEARS.
 
but that's not what you're referring to, are you?
no dice.
 
"2. polystraight fossils. If they layers are billions of years old, then how does a rootless tree stand upside down through millions of years of rocks."
 
XD debunked.
the appear in 1 LAYER.
or link me the articles where it says "several strata layers"
and, FROM PEER REVIEW.
 
"3. Where's all the billions of years of moon dust Doc?"
 
debunked 
READ
 
"4. Cambrian explosion debunks Atheistic claims of slow macro evolutonary change."
 
ehm.. no they don't?
it's quite well know that evolution quite frequently happens in fits.
and better yet, we have a very good hypothesis as to why the cambruim explosion happened.
OXYGEN.
 
"5. We have less then 10,000 years of salt in the oceans."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
good one....what? you're SERIOUS!??!?
.....
mineral recycling.
we might have 10 000 years of alt in the ocean, but we have plenty of sea salt deposits in the earth too. let's not forget the changes in the amount of liquid water over the (many) years.
 
but i digress.
YOU CAN TAKE THE INPUT AND IGNORE THE OUTPUT.
 
"6. Go to mt st helens for a geology lesson the Atheistic evolutionaries wish would go away. If it took millions of years in the grand canyon, but only a few weeks at mt st helen? yea, right."
 
have you ever HAD a geology lesson?
the grand canyon is carved by the colorado river in the 6 million years.
how do we know it wasn't a flood? shape.
but what does a river formed canyon have to do with a volcano?
 
" You see Doc, that is the difference between Atheists and Christians. Christians say we believe in God because no one can prove origins and God is a reasonable conclusion."
lets ignor the fact that the majority of scientist are theists and that they almost all accept the scientific concensus.
 
ANY conclusion of "god didit" is BY DEFAULT an argument from ignorance. why?
i can't fidn a natural explination, therefore  god.,..
 
" We only observe life from life, and kind from kind. Which scientifically and observationally disproves Macro-evolution."
YAY HOVINDISTS!!!
 
no srly.
1 ) what is a Kind? (we have STILL to get an full answer for this)
2) what is life? (any person with a basic understanding of biology will tell you it's just organic chemistry.
 
 
". Because, if you extrapolate back in the evolutionary mindset to the origins, then evolution gets proven wrong by observational evidence."
ehm...im beginning to think that you think evolution = abiogensis.... which it doesn't......we've been over this....sooooo many times.
 
" Whereas you Atheists say there is no God and anyone whom doesn't believe in macro-evolution is stupid, sick, or evil."
noooo we call em scientific illitarates and delusional because everything must conform to their personal beliefs of a holy book.
 
"And yet you monkeys can never disprove God like evolution has been disproven"
 
only absolute proof lies withign math and logic, since god isn't found in math, lets do logic, to disprove the literal bible version of god.
 
god is omnicient, omnipotend and all loving (or so i've been told by the evangelicals)
but.....
god created evil by giving us free will knowing full well that he would doom us to sin and hell.
thus god is internally inconsistant.
either hes:
not omniscient. (he didn't know the consequences)
not omnipotent.(he didn;t fix things)
not all loving. ( he didn't care that we would be doomed to sin)
 
and this is just a SIMPLIFICATION
many atheists have been over this.
and many christians have been over the literal interpretation of the old testament.
 
oh and why are you calling us monkies? you're just as much a monkies as us.
or aren't u human?
 
"Although God may not be real, he is still very plausible"
no. but A GOD doesn't mean YOUR GOD.
do you have ANY idea how many version of "God" are out there?
 
"But we know macro-evolution is NOT possible, until a chicken pops out of a goose egg."
HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT!
you have no idea how macro evolution works.
GO STUDY and THEN COME BACK.

We can boil all that babble down to this. We don't say God did it. We say, we believe until we KNOW for sure otherwise. Talkorigins Has no credibility and have been caught lying outright at every turn.
You Atheists can't prove JacK! It's all wishful thinking spun as science. I never had a geology lesson? Well what good are the lessons you got? When all your information was obtained from Cummunist Atheistic Doctrine puppets, following it's guidelines for passing off propaganda as science. You imply I'm an uneducated idiot and I'll call you a brainwashed fool. There is NO PROOF GENIUS. So how can you argue, for all I am doing is saying there is no proof. no proof. NO PROOF! So why believe in anything but God until there is proof? Or even better yet why force people to act like there is Proof when you know there isn't. Hey man, why are you acting like the truth of the universe resides with you? Does the person whom has taught you have more geology lessons than anyone else? lol Is there Just one of you Atheistic scientists out there with the proof? I didn't think so. Hey all you scientists with all those Geology lessons, Start telling your students to stop acting like they know the truths of the universe. As for the Colorado river. the suposed start is a mile lower then where it ended up. But I guess Geology lessons don't teach common sense. And if that is the case, that makes you a parrot.

another question mike. If science is just lies, why do you use a computer? or go to the hospital when u get sick? fucking hypocrite. We wouldn't be so advanced in medicin if we didn't have darwins good old book. Its the foundation of the scientific field of biology.

"But I guess Geology lessons don't teach common sense."
- Why would they? It's geology and not some "common sense class"...

"You imply I'm an uneducated idiot and I'll call you a brainwashed fool. There is NO PROOF GENIUS. So how can you argue, for all I am doing is saying there is no proof. no proof. NO PROOF!"
- To you there is no proof because you don't want to see it. If it does your world would fall apart. I'm gonna quote isabella (thanx for the quote)

" Science isn’t about faith, and even if it were there would be nothing to destroy. Unlike theists, we don’t have a personal relationship with our theories. We don’t believe that evolution loves us unconditionally, or that the big bang theory will forgive our sins. For you, giving up the idea of a young earth would entail more than a new scientific opinion. You would be giving up an entire way of life, and would lose the security of having someone watching over you and listening to your prayers. It would be like ending a friendship, which is why it’s so difficult for you to accept evidence and acknowledge how old the earth really is."

if ur gonna accuse them of lying,
SOURCE THE LIE, OR STFU

"I never had a geology lesson? Well what good are the lessons you got? When all your information was obtained from Cummunist Atheistic Doctrine puppets, following it's guidelines for passing off propaganda as science."
 
translation:"CONSPIRICY"
most scientists are theists.
so you should be blaming the non bible thumping christians for being possesed by satan, instead of accusing the atheist of a worldwide conspiricy. you know what darwin was? a christian. liniaes? chrisitian, and a creationist no less...yet he still classified humans as apes....
 
 
" You imply I'm an uneducated idiot and I'll call you a brainwashed fool."
 
you ARE an uneducated idiot. your poor understanding of what you are arguing agaisnt and repeatign the same old chewed out AIG cliams testify to that.
 
"There is NO PROOF GENIUS. So how can you argue, for all I am doing is saying there is no proof. no proof. NO PROOF"
 
no absolute proof.. but science never does that. they give proof beyond reasonable doubt. not the absolute proof like math and logic.
 
"So why believe in anything but God until there is proof"
 
so...."magic man dunnit untill you show me how"?
you do realize how silly that sounds don't you....
 
"Or even better yet why force people to act like there is Proof when you know there isn't"

"Hey man, why are you acting like the truth of the universe resides with you?"
 
ehm..we don't? we just know more on the subject of life because we did the science. that's all.
ironically it's always the creationist babling on about how they have "truth" and no one wants to see it.
 
"Does the person whom has taught you have more geology lessons than anyone else?"
 
i would expect that form ageology professor, or a science teacher.
i would also expect that a science teacher in highschool did soem research in his younger years. you...the kind of research that gets into science journals.
 
"lol Is there Just one of you Atheistic scientists out there with the proof? I didn't think so. Hey all you scientists with all those Geology lessons, Start telling your students to stop acting like they know the truths of the universe"
 
"and the truth is......GOD DUNNIT!....."
no that's not how we do things in science.
we never claim to have the truth. we claim to have gained soem more knowledge.
you should educate yourself a bit more on science....NOT from creationist sources tho, or you will never undersand.
 
"Colorado river. the suposed start is a mile lower then where it ended up. But I guess Geology lessons don't teach common sense. And if that is the case, that makes you a parrot."

"The moon, only 1,000,000 years ago, would be close enough to boil the earth and no life would ever been possible."
- How the hell did you make this up?! seriously, why the hell would the earth BOIL if the moon came to close?! If it would be very close it would have fallen out of the sky and crash with the earth cuz of the gravity. And the last time i checked it was still there.

"3. Where's all the billions of years of moon dust Doc?"
- WTF is moon dust?! could you be any more vague?

"5. We have less then 10,000 years of salt in the oceans."
- How would we mesure this if you hate all the scientific methods of mesuring age in the nature as it doesn't support your belief? As far as i know there's no way to tell how long the salt has been there or anything. How can we mesure that?! We can mesure what it is now.

"6. Go to mt st helens for a geology lesson the Atheistic evolutionaries wish would go away. If it took millions of years in the grand canyon, but only a few weeks at mt st helen? yea, right."
- I think someone said it before, but no volcanos in the grand canyon.

"Because, if you extrapolate back in the evolutionary mindset to the origins, then evolution gets proven wrong by observational evidence. We only observe life from life, and kind from kind. Which scientifically and observationally disproves Macro-evolution."
- You sir are not a scientist. Stop acting like you know when you don't. You don't even know OUR mindset or why science says that god didn't made us. Look up Miller-Urey experiment. Our genome is made out of organic molecules such as suger molecules.

"But we know macro-evolution is NOT possible, until a chicken pops out of a goose egg."
- Everything you creationists claim that god made is pure bullshit. It's always the "It's to complex for me to understand so god dunnit" argument. GO READ DARWINS BOOK FFS. Maybe you woun't be so ignorant and learn a thing or 2. Or read an article from a REAL scientific magazine with PEER REVIEW.

i think mike is referring to the enhanced tidal friction that a closer moon would bring.
however i think i linked an TO article that debunked that, or something along those lines of "closer moon, therefore no 4.5 bil year oly earth"

No man, the heat would come with the geometric increase in the earth's magnetic field. Because of course the moon is receeding so we extrapilate back in time. As the moon gets further away our manetic field around the earth weakens. The moon also keeps us on our axis, when the moon receeds enough, the earth will wobble more and more and our spinning will slow. Atheists were worried there was several meters of moondust and actually lengthened the captsules legs when they did their billions of years calculations. All that is needed is one artifact to depunk Atheistic evolution and we have thousands folks. I don't care how smart they think they are. We may not be able to PROVE God, but we sure debunked evolution. And what makes them so angry is they know they can't disprove God, but they just know there can be no God in their hearts. (brainwashed!) *cough* :)

"No man, the heat would come with the geometric increase in the earth's magnetic field. Because of course the moon is receeding so we extrapilate back in time. As the moon gets further away our manetic field around the earth weakens."......
correlation=/= causation dude.
 
the magnetic field around the earth is generated by a dynamo effect between the inner and outer core.
and one part of the magentic field switches around form time to time. we can find that in metal fragments in rocks.
 
but srly
 
"The moon also keeps us on our axis, when the moon receeds enough, the earth will wobble more and more and our spinning will slow."
again....corrolation =/= causation
the receding of the moon might increase wobble, but the earth is slowing down nevertheless.
 
"Atheists were worried there was several meters of moondust and actually lengthened the captsules legs when they did their billions of years calculations."
 
did you even read my linked source?
scientifst knew full well that they moonllanding wouldn't fsuffer from miles thick layers of moondust. you're referrign to an early estimation, one that was discrader LONG ago.
 
"All that is needed is one artifact to depunk Atheistic evolution and we have thousands folks. I don't care how smart they think they are."
 
ehm.... this might only be referring to the evolution of humans society. there is still......all the other taxons , all the biological evidence for commen decent (THAT's how we formulated commen descent)
ect...
 
all that archeology gies us is a overview of the development of mankind, both physically and mentally.
and it in no way suggests 6000 years dude. we've found plenty of tools that go back further.
 
and even IF human's didn't share a commen ancestor. then evolutionis STILL happening. and STILL observable and a large part of the theory STILL explains the facts they apply too.
 
"We may not be able to PROVE God, but we sure debunked evolution."
GL, you'd win a  noble prize.....
 
but you're an idiot to think that you;d do it this way.
no "I CRAIM VICTOLLY!!" in science....
 
"And what makes them so angry is they know they can't disprove God, but they just know there can be no God in their hearts. (brainwashed!) *cough* :)"
 
1) science will NEVER claim to prove or disprove god.
2) i can stil use logic to disprove the literal god of the bible, and all i need is the bible and some logical absolutes.
3) why should and agnostic be angry? we KNOW we can never know the true nature or the existance of A god....but we sure as hell can tear that old sadistic bearman from the old testament to shreds.
 
and we can do the same form your scientific illiterate arguments.

- Science is not static ffs.  If one thing doesn't fit we try to find the reason why or we change the hypothesis. Science changes and so have the theory evolution. Some theoris had to be added to explain the observations in nature.

The theory of evolution has been tested and tried for 150 years, if there was anything that would make it not work we would have it discarded. THAT IS NOT THE CASE!

How logical is it to say "it's not working for no apparent reason so god dunnit!" ???

"The moon also keeps us on our axis, when the moon receeds enough, the earth will wobble more and more and our spinning will slow."
- The moon is spinning in orbit around the earth, not vice versa. Gravity have a lot 2 do about it.


"but we sure debunked evolution."
- You can't debunk science with pseudoscience. Or no scientific evidence at all.

"And what makes them so angry is they know they can't disprove God, but they just know there can be no God in their hearts. (brainwashed!) *cough* :)"
- I guess you went to bible camp and where told everything was the works of god and the bible is his exact words? makes perfect sense since WE don't go to fucking camps to get overhauled by propaganda. There is so much problems in the bible i can't see that there is a god because so much has been said about him that is just not true. Mike what education do u have?

A definition of religion that makes me not believing:
"a set of myths or sacred truths held in reverence or believed by adherents"

It's important to understand there is a difference between 'conceptual philosophy' and 'science'. Some individuals claim that in the nexus of science lies the great and revered "THEORY OF EVOLUTION". I can respect that, people should be allowed to have their opinions. But unfortunately, evolution itself has little to do with science.
 
Curious, where some might see Evolution as the driving force of the universe, go figure, The rest of us actually see 'Design' and 'Architecture'. The detriments of Creation as a concept, really explain a lot.
 
Similar designs in DNA, Conventional classifications of animals that define lineage and ancestry, Archetypes for the mechanisms of the first life, patterns in organic growth and elemental designation.
 
As a whole, one really identifies a design and working system as a universal driving force. To say that all technology and science is a result of evolution or evolutionary thinking is just silly. Computers, electricity, plumbing, cars, planes, boats, processed food, etc. is a result of, you guessed it, science! Not this imaginary evolution.
 
Nothing ---> Blob ---> Grass ---> Monkey ---> Man
 
Now thats science! This is where computers and cars and tv comes from! I don't see how you people don't realize it's ingenious nature! We see this happen all the time!

ehh......
you;re right one one thing.
evolution (as decribed by the theory of evolution) has nothing to do with science. it has to do with observable reality.
now the THEORY has to do with science. as it EXPLAINS observable reality.
 
"Curious, where some might see Evolution as the driving force of the universe, go figure, The rest of us actually see 'Design' and 'Architecture'. The detriments of Creation as a concept, really explain a lot."
ID argument.
just because it appears designed doesn't mean it is designed.
look at the homologeus genes that code for...lets say the eye.
the IRC argument just compeltely fall apart in light of the amazing homology of genes in living organisms.
there are plenty of cases where out of seeming chaos order emerges.
that order emerges because of certain properties of matter.
 
(don;t say "god gave those propeties, therefore god exists" that's just an argument form pure ignorance.
 
"Similar designs in DNA, Conventional classifications of animals that define lineage and ancestry, Archetypes for the mechanisms of the first life, patterns in organic growth and elemental designation."
 
and then they are destributed so that they indicate commen ancestory AND the function of intermediate form prove that they can come about by natural selection?
no dice
 
link me 1 IRC claim that hasn't been debunked already.
 
" To say that all technology and science is a result of evolution or evolutionary thinking is just silly."
we never claimed that.
we just said they come from the knowledge gathered form the scientific method, a method that ID has to rape into a different definition and form for it to be called science.
and the method is something that will never allow creationism to be science.
 
"Computers, electricity, plumbing, cars, planes, boats,"
all things that have NOTHING to do with biology.
 
"processed food,"
a bit closer,, but that's germ and cell THEORY, not evolution.
try things like....
anti virals, new medicines, biological cencer treatments, paternity tests, hereditary diseases, genetic modification, ect
 
just about anything that deals with living organisms.
 
"Not this imaginary evolution.
 
Nothing ---> Blob ---> Grass ---> Monkey ---> Man"
 
PERFECT!
you just outlined perfectly what you think evolution is.
so yet again we can tell you.
that anyone who accept evolution. doesn't accept this.
and this is NOT what the theory of evolution states.
and this is just another strawman you created to argue agaisnt something you do not understand and you cannot even hope to dent the slightest amount.
 
"Now thats science! This is where computers and cars and tv comes from!"
 
electronics, mechanics, thermodynamics, chemestry.
no living things here....
 
" I don't see how you people don't realize it's ingenious nature! We see this happen all the time!"
 
and i fail to understand how you can keep postulating your screwed view of evolution as it beign the actual theory (the one we "evolutionists" accept), and not be comsumes by the guilt of breaching one of your commandments.
 
"thou shalt not bear false witness.."
ring a bell?

" Some individuals claim that in the nexus of science lies the great and revered "THEORY OF EVOLUTION"."
- The scientific methods for research is all the same. All cars, computers, medicins came from this method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

If you don't accept how it made evolution then you don't accept how we got medicin for example. Same principles.

"But unfortunately, evolution itself has little to do with science."
- You got nothing to support this. You don't seem to know what science is since you don't recognize it when it worked.


"Curious, where some might see Evolution as the driving force of the universe..."
- Nope, the driving force of all life is survival. Evolution works on survival! how hard is it for you to understand?! It's the reason why we like to fuck and eat and i sure hope you enjoy that. Those "rewards" our genes and bodies give us when we do things that is important for our survival is what makes us reproduce and evolve. If someone got a slight upper hand in survival and got more children than the others ofc that's gonna get selected for! "Design" and "architecture" is flawed and vague it's unbelivable.

"The detriments of Creation as a concept, really explain a lot."
- Nope, nothing. You can't even say what it is?

"Similar designs in DNA, Conventional classifications of animals that define lineage and ancestry, Archetypes for the mechanisms of the first life, patterns in organic growth and elemental designation."
- If our DNA would have been designed after one blueprint, we would all be dead by now. The genetic diversity is what makes us survive diseases and such. If we where all alike and one got sick everyone else would get it. If Adam and his what? 200 kids. Say 1 got a virus that killed him, that would spread to others. No one would have the genetic anomolies to be able to survive the virus. That is why cloning crops isn't a good thing because if one plant get a disease, the whole harvest gets destroyed.

"As a whole, one really identifies a design and working system as a universal driving force."
- Still proof or stfu/gtfo. You never say exactly what and no sources (atleast not ICR ones).

"To say that all technology and science is a result of evolution or evolutionary thinking is just silly. "
- You got it. I have no idea how you made that conclusion of anything we've said. How would technology have anything with evolution to do? except the scientific method ofc.

"Computers, electricity, plumbing, cars, planes, boats, processed food, etc. is a result of, you guessed it, science! Not this imaginary evolution."
- You forgot ecology, biology and biochemistry. That's a couple of scientific fields that has evolution to thank. What area of science has the creation bullshit (oh sorry, "research") given us anything?

"Nothing ---> Blob ---> Grass ---> Monkey ---> Man"
- Extreme over-simplification. This only shows that you don't have the faintest clue of what evolution does and that it does not cover biogenesis. I can do the same over-simplification to illustrate how sad it is.
"carbon+hydrogen+oxygen+nitrogen+sulfur ---> 9tails" OR
"nothing + overnatural being+ more nothing ---> the world"

9tails watch this video so you might understand what we are trying to say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_RXX7pntr8
