Dustnite said:, leroy, those are not incontrovertible facts. Just because you assert things, does not make it true. I have backed up everything I said with the direct data or with a starting point for research. You have not recipricated, neither has nexttodie. I don't expect you to as you're obviously a troll. Every one of your "alternative facts" are brought up so many times there's not only a wiki for each response as a starting point for investigation but there's several articles explaining the blatant misunderstanding that comes from each of your assertions. If you bothered to read anything into the subject, you would discover that. Instead, you have decided to conclude the answer before seeing the information.
However, if you don't respond to any of these points, leroy. I'm done.

The harder question is answer is what good does creationism do for anyone? What questions does it answer? What predictions does it make? How can I use creationism to better humanity?
anyone from this forum can confirm these 2 facts
1 It is a fact that the earths magnetic field is currently decaying
2 it is a fact that some people (both atheist and theist) are aware of fact 1 thanks to a Christian apologetic.
and (my personal opinion, not a fact) this should be interpreted as a positive contribution made by apologetics.
However, if you don't respond to any of these points, leroy. I'm done
because none of your replies is relevant to my point. I am not even a YEC, ...............all you have to do is grant those 2 uncontroversial facts, and let us know if you share the same opinion that I have.
..........
apart form that, my personal opinion is that God should not be a taboo, if a teacher assigns a student to read a book from William Lane or Michael Behe I would argue that the assignment would have a positive effect in the students scientific formation. .................and I would argue the same with books form Richard Dawkins.
feel free to argue or to disagree, but if you what to argue that such assignment would ruin the student please provide some evidence.
