Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164, 712]

Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

I'm so totally impressed by your post. No fish, huh? So where did Dryopithecus evolve from?

Sure, there's fish, you just have to go back an extra 400 million years.

Hominoidea likely evolved from the Oligocene Anthropoids such as Parapithecus, Propliopithecus, Adapidium, and Aegyptopithecus. Propliopthecus and Aegyptopithecus are generalized catarrhines and thus are the best examples of ancestors for all later anthropoids.

A million or 400 million, it's all the same to me. But thanks.

Yeah, either way there wasn't Game of Thrones.

So, ummm, are you an anthropologist or just a very smart guy?

No. I'm a math/econ major. I take physical anthropology courses because I am interested in them.

I did the same. I still like anthropology.

Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

Am agnostic.

What does (a)gnosticism have to do with belief? There are agnostic theists as well as agnostic atheists.

From what you have written so far, you would be a deist. You believe in a supreme being but not religion. That is where I spent most of my adult life.
 
Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

and if there is no answer right now, does that mean god did it?

I'm on a quest to meet the first fish who walked out of the ocean and set up shop on dry land. That was one awesome fish and nobody ever talks about it or gives it credit. This takes a ****-load of backtracking. I'm just trying to do the right thing.

That's going to be hard to do but there are other fish you might be interested in meeting:

Oh, sorry, got sidetracked by some silly fish.

The force that created the universe is effectively god. Does this force know about us or care about us or "hear our prayers"? I seriously doubt that. But in a way, sure. No BANG, no EARTH, no EARTH, no US.

I hope that I have honestly answered your question.

I actually met the guy who discovered it.

He must be a lot older than I am. What a historic moment that must have been, reunited at last with your ancestor.

I want some of what you are having....

I'm having Aegyptopithecus Almondine in a light, yet vibrant whine sauce. I hope you're OK with the head. The eyes kind of freak me out.
 
Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

The problem here is that you have no comprehension of science. Nothing can be proven or disproven by science. Everything is potentially dis-provable, given more evidence.

I don't want anything that you would call a "comprehension of science" and until something can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, your "science" is based on nothing more than FAITH anyway.
 
Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

Which is still not evolution, by the way, and it still doesn't change the fact that as Creationism doesn't operate on science, it doesn't belong in a science class.

So far as I'm concerned, if the "scientific" information isn't probable beyond a reasonable doubt IT doesn't belong in a science class either.
 
Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

There is no faith whatsoever in science.

It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Also, why don't you want to comprehend things? It would demystify life. It must be mind boggling living in a world like Alice in Wonderland
or Winnie the Pooh where there is no science.

Why is it that the anti-intellectuals and really uneducated people on here are always "Conservative" or "Very Conservative"?
 
Re: Bill Nye the Science Guy to debate Creation museum founder Ken Ham[W:164]

There is no faith whatsoever in science.

If you say so. Yet, we teach children and young adults things in our science classes which cannot be entirely proven as if they were cast in stone, dead-nuts lock, irrefutable FACTS. We allow no alternative theories or ideas to be presented. We don't even allow the students to suggest that there might be an alternative theory. The ONLY acceptable answer is the theory that science provides. Accept it or fail the class. Acceptance of unproven data.... sounds a lot like FAITH to me.

It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Also, why don't you want to comprehend things? It would demystify life. It must be mind boggling living in a world like Alice in Wonderland or Winnie the Pooh where there is no science.

I have seen and experienced enough things in my life that science doesn't even want to admit could happen, nevermind that they did. I lost a lot of respect for science when I realized that in reality it's little more than another organized religion where people empower themselves to suggest that there are no possible alternatives to their Book of Faith. The only difference is that instead of poetry and prose, their book is full of equations that only a handful of clerics and clergymen can actually make heads or tails out of.

Life is full of mysteries. It always has been and always will be. That is the way I believe it was intended to be, to force us to accept things on Faith.
