The above is a quote from the article referred to in the OP. It is typical of the entire article. A lot of nonsense that has been repudiated over and over and over. If aaronjm had taken the time to do a google search on

Actually the theory was proposed about a hundred years ago. The problem was that no one could account for the amount of water necessary and for its sudden and catastrophic release. Scientific research has subsequently concluded that the cause was the repeated development and failing of ice dams formed during the last ice age. So yes, the Scablands were caused by

Perhaps you could cite some.

I wonder how many people were upset when Christians declared December 25th to be a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus. For prior thousands of years the period of the winter solstice had been celebrated by people of many different religions. Excerpted from HowStuffWorks - Christmas

Same old unsubstantiated nonsense. Anyone can come up with novel concepts about how things work. The author gives his ideas and shows absolutely no evidence to back them up. Consider the following three excerpts:

I doubt that the environment in the oceans has changed all that much. Also, cockroaches have lived for over 200 million years. If there is no need to change, why change?

Butero, You have left me (almost) speechless. I have seen a few websites putting forth the notion that men have not landed on the moon, but I have never actually encountered anyone that believed it. At the risk of hijacking this thread, would you be good enough to explain why you do not believe one of the most documented events in history? True. However religion has consistently delayed, or tried to delay, the progress of science.

When you get the flu will you put your faith in the bible or the medicines that scientists have developed? When you need that major operation, will you put your faith in the bible or in the surgeons (scientists)? When you fly in an airplane do you put your faith in the bible or the scientists who built it and fly it? I would guess that you believe in a lot of science, just not science when it contradicts your bible. Well, maybe some science that contradicts your bible. I assume you do not believe the earth is the center of the universe. I for one do not believe all

From the website (Including bad grammar): Heart disease is a leading killer in nations which practice Western nations despite the fact that these nations are quite medically advanced. Dr. Paul Dudley White, the heart specialist who treated President Eisenhower while he was in the White House, once quoted the Leviticus verse, "Speak to the children of Israel, saying:

Earth total: 510.072 million sq km land: 148.94 million sq km water: 361.132 million sq km note: 70.8% of the world's surface is under water. I

We look for evidence. As I pointed out in my post #7

While I certainly beg to differ with your arguments, I will not attempt to persuade you otherwise. It's hard for me to understand how someone can live everyday and not believe that there is no higher being. It doesn't even make common sense. I have to believe that those who do believe are simply scared.....scared that there is a God out there.....bigger than you and me....more powerful that you or me....and more importantly....in control of you and me. Faith is believing without seeing. No. That

jlo23_1214, Token Atheist has presented a lot of scientific rebuttal to Dr. Ross

Moderators, It still doesn't show.

ScientificAtheist, Congrats! You have a great talent for walking the fine line between oversimplicity and overcomplexity. Great explanations.

All Quoted comments are from HalifaxChristian As I stated: Science has not been able to answer that question YET. Just as 4000 years ago science could not answer the question of where the sun goes at night. You are correct

Scientific Atheist? The first thing that came up in a Google search was a link to an article written by H.G. Wells. Are you taking this from the writings of this science fiction author. The writings of H.G. Wells are not considered science by any stretch of the imagination. As I posted earlier: A bird has freewill: go to one place to get worms; go to a different place to get worms. A worm has freewill: come out of the ground; stay in the ground. Are you suggesting that birds and worms have souls? Which is something no one can do. You

I understand your view. Perhaps you can explain a situation that puzzles me. According to Genesis: 1. God created all including Adam & Eve. 2. Given free will, Eve ate the apple. 3. As a result of Eve eating the apple, god removed Adam & Eve from the Garden of Eden and thus began the downfall of man. Now, since God knew before he created Eve that she would eat the apple, why didn

Good post Gumby. I have not rejected my parents. Speak for yourself. Who are you to stand in judgment of everyone? What is your proof for an afterlife? Believing in con men like Jon Edward? As others have requested, please make your scientific case. A bird has freewill: go to one place to get worms; go to a different place to get worms. A worm has freewill: come out of the ground; stay in the ground. However, since you brought up freewill

Do you have a basis for these statements?

There are many differences between religion and science. Most notably, religion (Christianity in this case) takes two documents written ~3500 years ago and ~2000 years ago and tries to live with and explain away the inconsistencies. Science takes the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years and constantly builds on it. It looks at inconsistencies and does research, thereby eliminating the wrong assumptions and building on the right assumptions.
