    Bob Enyart, notorious antivax YEC and hydroplate fanboy, dies of COVID-19

    (Note: not sure if this is the right place for this post) Bob Enyart, a notorious YEC proponent of the hydroplate theory, a fanatical antivax/antimask COVID denier, and a bigot who would literally play Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" while reading obituaries of AIDS victims, died of...

    Taking a break from the forum

    Hey guys, So, things in my life aren't going great lately, and I'm going to be taking a break from here for a while to get things back in order. So you may not see me around much for a few weeks. Or months. However long this takes. I wish you all the best. ~Itsdemtitans

    Apollo 10 Lunar Module "Snoopy" survives to this day.

    So evidently, back in the days of the Apollo Program, not all the Lunar Excursion Modules (LEM) were destroyed after the mission by being crashed into the moon. Apollo 10, which was a sort of dry run for Apollo 11, ended up ejecting the ascent stage of their LEM "Snoopy" into a solar orbit. It...

    Websites refuting Flat Earthers?

    Does anyone know of any websites that routinely deal with arguments from Flat Earthers, similar as to how Talk.Origins is an archive responding to creationism. I just found out there's a Flat Earther in my Chemistry Class and I might wanna challenge him on it in the future, so having a reference...

    Anyone have any tips on dealing with horseflies?

    Okay so recently Ive taken up running in an attempt to loose some weight. The hard part of building up initial stamina is gone, so I have a greater variety of places go run now. Recently I've been running in the woods by my house and it's quite peaceful. Well, it would be, if it were not for the...

    So I just got back from the doctor...

    For the past few days I've had an absolutely God awful sore throat and a mild fever, so today I went into the doctor to get checked for strep. The doc did a rapid strep test and it came back negative. He told me that false negatives are not unheard of, yet even though my throat looked pretty...

    ICR has new projects coming up!...well, they hoped.

    Looks like ICR wanted to pump out some new research after their (failed) RATE study. See their table with summaries: GENE Genomic studies to explore the true nature of human origins—theory of mutation and selection; statistical comparison of chimpanzee and human genomes; sequencing of...

    Diatoms: A conundrum for creationism

    Alright guys, I'm back yet again! If one was to believe creationists, they'd have you think that all the fossils we see in the geologic column were arranged in their particular order via a handful of mechanisms. These are hydrological sorting, differential escape, ecological zonation, and...

    "Unexplainable" out of order strata?? Not so, Creationwiki

    I don't know why I torture myself like this :(. So last night, as I was surfing some Internet forums looking for info on Geology and the Geologic column, I was so lucky to run into this little peice of gold from Creationwiki. Now, I know this isn't a reliable resource, but part of me wanted to...

    Any good books on Geology/Paleontology

    While genetics is usually the field of science I'm intrigued by, I've been getting quite into the earth sciences as of late. Does anybody have any books they would recommend? Anything specific to fossils and/or Earth history would be preferred. :D

    Genes record a prehistoric volcano eruption in the Galápagos

    Back in 2003, Beheregaray et al,. (1.) discovered something interesting. It's well known that islands are formed by Volcanic activity, and particularly young islands (those with still active volcanoes) can act as a natural laboratory to study evolution. Beheregaray et al,. looked at the genome...

    Can we just ban Elshamah already?

    Please?? He does nothing but spam, does not engage in discussion, and when it's pointed out his Irreducibly complexity arguments are flawed he just ignores it, waits a week, and comes back with a rehashed version acting like it's still valid. It's annoying and no one learns anything. Is there...

    First time at a pentacostal church

    Okay, so everyone here knows I'm a Christian I'm sure. So obviously I regularly attend chruch in some form. Well, tonight was a hectic night for me. I got invited by a friend to come with him to church. I thought it would be cool. Dead wrong. It was a pentecostal church I'm used to Mass or...

    Creationist Objections to Chromosome 2 fusion (Now Refuted!)

    Wow, this forum has gone quiet :( Guess I'll try and start up some activity! :mrgreen: As of late, I’ve heard some rather…unique… arguments by a creationist trying to debunk Chromosome 2 being a fused chromosome. Well, while that conversation is long over, I’ve decided to spend several...

    Could this device be feasible in real life?

    The death penalty

    What's everyone's opinion on the Death Penalty? Useless? Justified? Absurd? I for one find it to be barbaric. If even one innocent man is given the death penalty, and we know many have been wrongfully executed, then it isn't worth it.

    Critiques of my arguments for the existence of God?

    Okay, so in the "evolution is a fact" Hackenslash said he'd be willing to discuss the existence of God with me. The reason I made a thread instead of a PM is I'd like to get some other opinions as well. So I'll give my two best reasons I have for beleif in God, but first, I'll clarify how I...

    Casey Luskin lies about Ken Miller on Chromosome 2

    I originally posted this over at rationalskepticism but figured it'd be interesting for those here who are not registered there: As many of you are probably aware, one of (in my opinion) the best confirmed predictions of evolution would be Chromosome 2. Basically, here's the gist in case...
