btw on the real topic what was your answer?
If we keep to the public school system - evolution only. Otherwise, we privatize education and it is something that shouldn't be enforced, but evolution is ideal.
different amounts of pressure due to elevation place indies the world ect.
Diamonds are formed at pressures exceeding 45 kilobars.
Source. Water pressure increases by 1 bar for every 33 feet. 45,000 * 33 feet = 1,485,000 feet or approximately 51 Mount Everests stacked on top of each other or 352 kilometers above the roughly 100km high boundary between Earth and outer space. I don't find it likely that Noah would have survived such a celestial voyage.
the coal was in a canyon area and they carbon dated the diamonds it was a study with unbiased scientists to find the age of the earth
Natural topography changes, the peat bog may have dried up or was washed out by a river. Scientists don't Carbon date diamonds, Carbon 14 has a half life of 5,730 years, instead they use ones with radioisotopic inclusions, they use elements such as Uranium 238 or 235, which have half lives of 4,460,000,000 years and 703,803,000 years respectively, these elements were in the diamond since it formed making radioisotopic dating possible.
actauly they've found purely oxidized rocks in all levels of the crust which shows an atmosphere that always contained pure oxygen..
Oxidation can occur when extremely hot lava contacts water. For example, when you burn thermite and it contacts water it explodes. This is because the intense heat separate the hydrogen and oxygen particles allowing thermite's aluminum to react with the oxygen and the displaced hydrogen reacts with external oxygen gas. thus the heated rock can separate the atoms and the oxygen will react with rock. Furthermore, the oxidation cold easily have occurred at a later time due to hydrothermal reactions within the crust.
The best arguement I could give for teaching intelligent design,and not Norse mythology or whatever other theories is mainly for the fact that yes,it does use science to support its theories
But as I pointed out in my earlier post, all ideas have a few facts supporting them- though they may be distorted - and that any religion when trying to prove its idea can "mine" facts that support their theory of creation rather than look to an objective evaluation of facts as science attempts. In a nutshell:
Scientific Method: Religious method:
1)Make observations 1)Formulate a hypothesis
2)Formulate a hypothesis 2)Gather evidence to support it
3)Run tests to prove or 3)Disregard conflicting claims
disprove your hypothesis with said evidence
4)If your hypothesis is 4)Enlightenment
wrong formulate a new one,
if it was not disproved
do more tests to challenge
or qualify it
5)Release findings for
other scientists to
evaluate your hypothesis
I shall supply a few links that all tell different things concerning the topic.
All but one of those links just try to disprove evolution,
not prove creationism. II could rebuttal them, but I would rather that you gave specific arguments to look to. The other link just gives two Creationist scientists. I've actually looked at one of Behe's books and it was rather easily refutable (of course the HIV virus has evolved, just look at the genetic changes for the coding of the protein VPU). Also, two scientists isn't comparable to the many supporting evolution.
