--- Quote from: Inv3rted on June 18, 2009, 09:42:33 PM ---Theory: # S: (n) hypothesis, possibility, theory (a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena) --- End quote --- Which is exactly what I just stated. But it's still unproven. If all theory was accepted as fact, then we'd still not have photographs, television as it was popular belief for a while (still is among some tribes in Africa or South America) that taking pictures would steal a person's soul. |

Oh no! Soon they'll begin making "meteor repellant" or something. Or "apocalypse repellant". (Soz for bad spelling, I am tired.) I heard they made a lazer with the power of a star, (not sure though) it can crack through meteors. If this is true, we'll be fine, let alone if ths bullcrap is true. So the Mayans got bored of making calenders. Oh no. Scary. |

Just because it isn't fully verified does not mean there is not a lot of evidence for it. For it to be called a scientific theory, experiments have to support it along with evidence. You don't just call any idea a theory, such as Creationism. |

--- Quote from: Rughugger on June 18, 2009, 09:40:17 PM ---I've noted that in all of the links you provided they still call it a "theory" not a fact. A theory is still not valid as there is not enough evidence to support it. And as I said in my post, until we build a time machine, we will never know what happened, only guess. --- End quote --- There's stuffloads more evidence then there is of intelligent design. Let's see - some loving entity came from nothing, created the world in 7 days, created everything instantly the way it is now, and now is in a magical skypalace where the good little girls and boys go when they die. Right. The biggest problem I have is the "loving" part. Christians love to boast about how much "Jesus Loves You". The Crusades spread love by raping and pillaging the Middle East. How many died for love in the English Civil War? How many still die in Ireland in the friendly little lovespreading between the Cathliocs and the Protestants? Do you think picketing solider's funerals (most of them Christians themselves) to spread your completey loving views on how people are dying because the loving entity doesn't like people having gay love or something? Do you think Fred Phelps loves the "cigarettes" he preaches against? Do you really think the loving entity cares how people worship him? If the loving entity loves us all so much, why does he let us die for the most forgeted up reasons imaginable? Why did my grandfather die, if Jesus the Almighty loves us all, when all he did was good? All in all, it's total bullstuff. |

I'd take the time to explain exactly how carbon dating works, but let's just say it's based on a variety of assumptions that are not always true. You can actually date different parts of a reconstructed animal and get different datings. --- End quote --- The problem with saying carbon dating is wrong is that there are a plethora of other dating methods that agree with it. |
