And how easy the concept of religion can be abused. And yet, it's perfectly acceptable to denounce all religion for the sake of a few radicals that killed a few thousands of people. But if you denounce atheism on account of a few national leaders that killed 10s of millions, it's somehow unfair.
Hey, I know that everyone wants to hate on Christians, but atheists killed more people in the 20th century by orders of magnitudes more than anyone else. So maybe studying why that is would be a safe and smart thing to do.
Nope. I saw that AnswersInGenesis.org still links to the debate on YouTube and sells copies of it on DVD. I see that Bill Nye and his associates do neither. That makes the winner of the debate pretty obvious to me. AIG believes they won it and Bill Nye believes that AIG won it.
You may not agree with it, but to say "None whatsoever, it doesn't exist," shows a remarkable ignorance about the debate. The reason there EVEN IS a debate is because there are severe problems with the theory of evolution that are not answered easily.
Universities have more than a science department, you know. Or do you not know this?
If it's so easy to disprove then read their positions and start disproving them. It shouldn't be hard if all the truth is on your side.
But you will find that evolution is accepted so completely uncritically these days that the creationists have found hundreds of very difficult challenges to it which are trying to be swept under the rug. It's amazing to me that people want censorship rather than the truth to come out. Both sides sharpening each other makes that happen a lot more quickly, you know.
Since science is defined as that which can be repeatedly measured naturally, it does, by definition exclude the supernatural. It doesn't make the supernatural untrue, just unmeasurable.
Actually, both sides refuse to be falsified at times.
Comets make the solar system too young? Propose a never-seen no-evidence unscientific Oort Cloud so that we don't have to falsify billions of years.
Genetics shows that there are 125 million base pair differences between a chimp and a human? Even if a mutation happened every generation (20 years-and we know they don't happen that fast), that's 2 billion years. The evidence falsifies it, right? Nope, we get "fast mutation periods", even though transitional forms are sorely lacking worldwide and everything in the fossil record seems to be made "according to its kind".
Every item has carbon-14 in it? That would say everything is less than 10,000 years old! Nope, it's "background carbon", whatever that means.
Spirit Canyon next to Mt. St. Helens (a 1/40 scale model of the Grand Canyon) was formed in 3 days? Along with petrified trees being buried at different depths. I don't even know how someone can still believe the Grand Canyon/Yellowstone fairy tales after that, when we saw it happen right in front of our eyes.
Dinosaurs have soft tissue in their fossils? Etc, etc, etc.
Don't pretend that scientists are using ridiculous anti-evidence saves when they need to... Anyone who says this shows their ignorance of the debate and their need to attend the conference.
So that multiple programs can share the same settings system-wide. The worst thing about Linux is that every program works in a different non-standard way.
Because they saw how crappy Novell Netware servers without it were? There are many amazing server apps that run with a convenient GUI when you are administrating the box.
Even worse. I RDP'ed into a Server the other day and nobody, even those running Windows 8 on their laptops could figure out how to do a "log out" on the server.
I pay $85 a month for Dish and I also have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon for around $8 a month each. That's $24 already, but I find I watch the $24 more than the $85. I just have the $85 mostly for sports, and because my dad is too old to be a cord-cutter. Otherwise I would have cut the cord long ago.

Maybe that's why he added the "evening and morning" qualifiers... To make it more of a literal reading...
What does (historically novel) mean?
MOST people in the history of the world from 300 AD to 1600 AD believed in YEC.
And yep, animals were created before plants in the bible.
Not sure which Bible you are reading, but in the actual Bible, plants were made on day 3, animals on day 6.

Nope, they believe in winning at any cost against the other team, regardless of the rules of the scientific method or formal debate.
The problem is there is no credible physical evidence to support creationism. None whatsoever, it doesn't exist.
Here is the physical evidence:

Apparently.
Allowing free speech is not the same thing as supporting idiocy
Actually, it exactly is. The free speech a person does not want to allow will ALWAYS be idiocy to them.

Pick a side? No way! I pick the truth. That's science. Picking sides is politics.

Fine. Raise your money and organize your conference. Nobody is stopping you. Except the lack of attendees.
The Blockchain can't be faked. Everyone has a copy.
The entire $40,156 in back wages was distributed directly to the eight affected workers.
The fine was on top of the back wages.
I think our meetings would be a lot less functional that way though.

And considering how bad the information from the battlefield is on who is "known" to have fought for ISIS, he's probably in the right.
They should reject it and spend the appeal time installing a free mesh network downtown.
LOL. That's so awesome.
