To my understanding there are very few things that are certain. I am
currently reading some outlines on the subject. Oh, and thousands of years
before man was wrong...

My math is based on what most advocates of evolution interpret for me. I
will give you more math tommorow if you'd like...?

Then what is your theory of evolution? The views I get are from books like
"Origins" by Richard Leakey, and a small host of other sources. The above
TWO web sites actually do refer to evolution and it's methods, at least to
the degree of my understanding, and the authors who write the books I read.

What is your version of entropy?

If in the case that God had origionally created the Grand Canyon, right. Or
you are working on the assumption that the Grand Canyon was carved out over
millions of years. My assumption is that it was carved out during the flood.
As for water taking millions of years to carve something out is
unreasonable. Many models in nature show that canyons can be carved out in a
matter of days, they might not be as large as the GC, but then evolutionists
like to use micro evolution to explain macro evolution.

It is also a well known fact that he was not acting in the Christian faith.
If he were he would have elevated the Jews and not eleveated them. He was
also an evolutionist, which in terms brings us to the point that he could
not have actually been a Christian, as evolution and Christianity are almost
synonimously conflicting terms. Therefore what he believed and what he
really was, are not the same, he might have believed he was a Christian but
he certainly was not. So what is your point?

Actually, you are right, I don't know much about genetics, but the rusty
genetics I do know are enough that I can understand things. No, I am not
suggesting that, and I will be honest, it was a bad point and not really the
message I was trying to convey. I will give you a follow up later as I
research this.

It also requires that new genes appear, which has also never been found to
be true. If it has send me a reference please.

Notice the massive differences in age, tens of millions of years, would it
not be wise to rely on dating methods that are known for being more absolute
than that? Finally, how do we know that our theoretical dating methods are
reliable, linear math? You said yourself linear math is not always reliable
(although not in those words). We have no time peice that actually has some
sort of reference to being ten million years old, the oldest things we do
have are 5000 years old, and some dating methods have said those items to be
younger and older than what they have been facticously deemed to be.
Explain.

Tell me what Mayr's book called and I will go get it from the library. I
will have some more figures for you tommorow concerning math. it still does
not pass every test, and to my understanding math is one of those. Assuming
you are right, and it works mathematically, it does not work in probability,
it is far tooo close to nill not to be considered zero, and it was an
evolutionist who told me that.
>>Wrong. Christianity is 2000 years old, the bible began over 4000 years
ago.
>As if an extra 2000 years adds to the bible's credibility.
It does, 2000 more years that every truth in it has gone unscathed! One of
if not the oldest compiled and active liturature known to man.
>Actually I believe that. If you experienced something that you think
>must be a miracle, then that would explain your behaviour.
I have experienced things that medical, highly educated, doctors cannot
explain. There is so much more to it than just explaining and not explaining
it though. If you were willing to understand, and only would open your eyes,
you would understand what I am talking about. I know it was a miracle.

Not at all, I especially don't think that 99.9% of scientists believe in
evolution.

Then it cannot explain and never will explain evolution.

It would be greatly appreciated.

Actually I remember it began with a P, and looks like a bronto (I think, I
need to take a refresher course on what the latest names for dino's are) and
had flipper like things instead of legs and feet.
>>>All fish are on the evolutionary chain.

Your right, it disproves the notion of natural selection.
>>So does the oil that is made in four years off of the coast of New

Now your getting it. There is a lot of math to prove it's accuracy, I give
you a whole bunch tommorow. As I have little time today, I have been buzzing
around here trying to get everything working, oh, well....

What type of masters? Is it in Computer Science? Wether it is or not doesn't
concern me, I also never said I did understand it incredibly well, I think I
mentioned something to that effect at the beggining of our conversation. The
only science courses I have had since High School are computer related, if
that so, honestly no credited courses. I have attended seminars and done
some independent research though, which might not be as acclaimed as a
collegiate degree but relevant enough to point me in the proper direction.
And eventually, I am hoping, I will hold one soon, and would actually be
appreciative if you could give me some advice on which field to enter, I
have thought of geology, cosmology, or maybe biology.

In turn the system that is giving up the energy loses energy and pulls it
from another place. Everything will eventually come to a halt. If you have
taken a class in thermodynamics then you could easily evaluate what I am
saying concerning the second law. Everything will eventually stop!
No, I haven't.

Oh, I just saw Waterworld the other day, it was actually pretty good, I
recommend it, it had some unnecissary scenes, but otherwise it was pretty
good. Kostner did an alright job...
