Re: Ok let me try again
a) Would you like to see and end to, or a curbing of, scientific enquiry?
it is not science or real scientific inquiry that we worry about. it is the oies, the bullying, the false attribution of results, theapplication, the dishonesty, the hypocrisy and so much more that is the problem.
since secular science is designed to look in the wrong direction and the wrong places for its so-called answers, they really misrepesent what science is supposed to be and do.
people are free to investigate what God did but they are not free to call God a liar, say He is wrong, or declare that their alternatives are correct over the Biblical passages.
we also want secular scientists to stop lying to children and their students. there is no such thing as evolution, in any form, thus they need to stop teaching it. Jesus said that it is better for a man to hang a millstone around his neck and drown himself than it would be to turn the faith of a child against God. secular scientists do the latter every day.
stick to real scie3nce and stop intruding on the issue of origins for that is not a scientific topic but a theological/religious one.
b) If not, how will you react if evidence comes forward that contradicts statements from your holy text of choice?
Ok let's try again to address the original topic...
I'd like to see some replies from creationists to the following questions:
a) Would you like to see and end to, or a curbing of, scientific enquiry?
b) If not, how will you react if evidence comes forward that contradicts statements from your holy text of choice?
there never will be such a discovery. there never has been either. if science disgarees with the bible then the science is wrong

Re: on honesty.
Why should we not teach children the facts?
evolution and other alternatives to the Bible are not the facts. evolution is like the old story of the emporer and no clothes, strip it bare from all assumptions, conjectures and speculations and it is walking down the street with nothing.
Yet more untruths.
denial is not refutation, nor are false accusations.
It is NOT the scientists that turn folk away from Christianity but rather folk like you.
no, that takes place because men 'love darkness rather than light' not because christians like me hold to the truth. don't put our responsibilities for our decision upon me or people like me. be a man and just admit you want to be lead astray.
When you continue to assert things that simply do not stand up to examination then as children learn the truth, the facts, they will naturally come to doubt everything you say.
which 'examination' are you referring to? those who use the truth or those who use secular science which does not look for the truth?
When you are so obviously wrong about facts that can be checked, things like Evolution or your assertion that there was some Biblical Flood, how can you expect children to believe anything you say about those things that cannot be easily checked, things like the god you market?
this is one thing you, people like you, evolutionists and atheists et al, just do not understand. God has made faith as one of the rules. not everything will be easily checked and one has to take God's word for it.
if you cannot take God's word for creation, the flood etc., thenhow can you take His word for salvation and heaven? neither of those can be easily checked nor proven scientifically. you just want the benefits from God nothing else. Jesus said 'pick up your cross and follow me', it won't be easy and notice He did not say 'and follow science...'
And that is why you fail and the kids soon learn that what you say cannot be trusted.
you are so wrong because you know i am telling the truth you just do not want to admit it.

That's your problem, isn't it, and the problem so many true believers face.
no it is not. it is the problem of one who denies God in one area of the Bible then supports Him in another.
But the fact is that the global flood ca. 4,350 years ago has been disproved
actually it never has mostly the so-called disproval comes from an argument of silence and as i wrote earlier or in another thread and never got a real sincere response was: what kind of evidence are you looking for and where would you expect to find it?
even the cries of 'Noah's Ark has been found...' has been met with large skepticism tus even if we foun dit, athiests and secularists would not accept it and demand even more evidence. it is a no win situation for the believer, thus we just sit back and tell you to do what God said to do--you have to use faith .
Some true believers just wish science would go away and stop disproving their beliefs.
tht is just totally wrong. there has never been a discovery scientifically or archaeologically that has disproven the Bible. such cries have all been manipulations, assumptions, speculations and conjecture concerning the so-called evidence discovered and has nothing to do with the discovery at all.
But I can check the data and evidence for a Biblical Flood or the accuracy of the different creation myths. When I do that I can with a very high degree of confidence state that there was never a Biblical Flood., that the creation myths are mutually exclusive.
youall keep saying this generalizations yet you all have yet to produce one link to such data or discvovery or disproval. itis like you are trying to vconvince yourselves that there was no global flood when there was.
i will cite ryan & pitman's work; the discoveries off India; even Hancock's push for the monument off Japan as evidence that all the flood waters did not disdappear and that the geography change dafter Nah's flood. we have evidence for it, but you have to decide to accept it.
But we cannot stop being honest, we must continue to look at the real record that GOD wrote, the world we live in. We cannot and must not stop scientific inquiry even when it shows that the stories in the Bible are not factual or historic.
but you are not honest for this so-called scientific inquiry deals with limited evidence, and pre-determines what they will accept or what the evidence should look like. niether you or this 'scientific inquiry are honest let alone objective.

That the Biblical Flood ever happened has been refuted.
.
again provide the specific discovery that shows that Noah's flood did not happen. saying there must be this, or there must be that is NOT evidence nor a discovery but wishful thinking. you cannot prove a bottleneck for civilization started with 8 people and there is NO evidence prior to that time that would produce the graph you want.
the scant amount of old bodies/skeletons we do find will not be sufficient for such a study. thus your call for genetical bottlenecks is unrealistic.
it is easy to deny and make such blanket and empty statements.
Now i am thinking of the pakistani flood that has taken place recently. this is a good example of why Noah's flood was global and did take place. NO ONE puts a destructive local flood into their identity, religious works, or makes it a life changing event. Katrina is another example, the flooding there did not do anything to change america's identity, nor did they incorporate it as a major historical event that changed their civilization or made them put it into their religious writings.
it may get noted by some historian but not all, and some may footnote it but local floods come and go and they are not news once it is over and the cleanup begins. nor do they interupt their presedential lists to include it, like the sumerians did.
Noah's flood is real and those who claim otherwise are just deceiving themselves.

lot more to do with equilibrium heterozygosity.
here:
Lect 4. Heterozygosity
you still need genetic material to find it and based upon more asusmption. this area of genetics looks like it is designed to omit the truth as well. i doubt you could find evidence of 8 people who lived in an area that was later populated by thousands.
in other words your supposed bottleneck is lost amidst the crowd and you come to false conclusions based upon faulty research and data.
when you have to abolish the scientific method in order to cling to your delusions, that's a sign that you're wrong.
not abolishing the 'scientific method' just getting rid of the secular distortions and faulty rules and changing them to the correct ones: right and wrong, truth and error.
{by the way, how many millions of predictions for the evolutionary theory have been hidden away because they were wrong?}
G.H. Hardy (the English mathematician) and W. Weinberg (the German physician) independently worked out the mathematical basis of population genetics in 1908 (Hardy, 1908). Their formula predicts the expected genotype frequencies using the allele frequencies in a diploid Mendelian population. They were concerned with questions like "what happens to the frequencies of alleles in a population over time?" and "would you expect to see alleles disappear or become more frequent over time?"
Hardy and Weinberg showed in the following manner that if the population is very large and random mating is taking place, allele frequencies remain unchanged (or in equilibrium) over time unless some other factors intervene. If the frequencies of allele A and a (of a biallelic locus) are p and q, then (p + q) = 1. This means (p + q)2 = 1 too. It is also correct that (p + q)2 = p2 + 2pq +q2 = 1. In this formula, p2 corresponds to the frequency of homozygous genotype AA, q2 to aa, and 2pq to Aa. Since 'AA, Aa, aa' are the three possible genotypes for a biallelic locus, the sum of their frequencies should be 1. In summary, Hardy-Weinberg formula shows that:
the bolded words prove my point---assumptions. plus ideals and ignoring reality.
taken from:
Basic Population Genetics [M.Tevfik Dorak]
and i was right again:
The assumptions of HWE
1. Population size is effectively infinite,
2. Mating is random in the population (the most common deviation results from inbreeding),
3. Males and females have similar allele frequencies, and the locus is autosomal,
4. There are no mutations and migrations affecting the allele frequencies in the population,
5. The genotypes have equal fitness, i.e., there is no selection (in viability and fitness
very difficult to prove, when all the grandchildren of noah and then his sons only had each other to marry. then babel took place and a great migration happened throwing off all modern scientific ideas, theories, equations.

don't take the moralist viewpoint when you hate morality and miss the point of the example and take it to an aspect NOT dealt with in the post. all you are doing is trying to deflect the point so you can miss the truth and keep on claiming that there was no Noah's flood.
as for your last paragraph, you do not know when those items were put there and you cannot tell if they were from a local or Noah's flood.

yes go to the distortion and the false accusation personal attack when shown your theory is too limited to prove what you want.
the assumptions doom that process.

in general answers coyote is wrong and his 'research' means nothing and nwr's post is not proof against the flood fo rit is simple to provide a reasonable and valid answer to that result--someone or more than one could have transported the animals there just after the flood.
no one knows how they got there but guess what--God wanted them there so there they are. evolution doesn't provide an answer at all and is far less valid and more ridiculous than that one possibility i gave.

Any flood covering a major portion of Mesopotamia would be assumed by these ignorant humans, ignorant meaning uninformed,
as covering the entire earth.
wrong again and that answer is based upon assumption coupled with emotionalism and bias not fact nor evidence. all the people would have to do is move, notice how only a few pakistanis were killed and trapped by a local flood--so it would have been in Noah's time.
you people just do not want the truth nor accept it.
as i said before, most true christians are not opposed to science, we are opposed to the lies that secular science produces and tries to brainwash children with. the flood happen regardless of the assumptions made by secular scientists and their disciples.

So we should just stop doing scientific research, right
how about doing it right and realize that scientific research is hampered and hindered by so many mitigating factors. you cannot disprove a global flood and there are several reasons for this:
1. do you know what the global flood evidence looks like? if not, how would you identify it?
2. how deep does one dig? wooley went about 90 feet before discovering virign territory and was forced into renouncing his claim of finding flood evidence.
3. if found would it be accepted? wooley is a good example that it would not be.
4. construction of cities, wars, local floods, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, tornados, earthquakes, erosion and so on, all have their hand in destroying evidence, thus we are back to #s 1 & 2.
{for erosion effects see Kitchens The Bible in Its world, pg. 10; fo rthe rest read your history books}
5. secular science is so limited that it cannot tell someone what they had for breakfast last week let alone what took place 3-4,000 years ago. the tools are faulty.
[qs]You claim that you already have the answers, so we should just stop doing science and close up all those labs.
You claim that you already have the answers, so we should just stop doing science and close up all those labs.
just the ones going beyond their authority and scope. as i have proven by quoting dever (Did God Have A Wife), secular science is NOT objective thus anything it does violates its own principles that suppoedly guide its work.
then since secular science is NOT about truth (another poster said this to me in a discussion on this very board) then any findings by scienc eneeds to be rejected for they are not true. according to him secular science is a big waste of time so yes, you probably should close up shop and shut down all secular scientific labs, they are not producing anything of value to te humans who inhabit this planet.

That is all any of your posts show, assumptions coupled with emotionalism and bias not fact or evidence
again you are wrong and distort all my words and posts. the only people without fact or evidence are the evolutionists and their supporters.
The evidence from numerous sources shows that there was no global flood
post the evidence and i will show you where they are wrong. keep in mind that GOD does NOT operate BY secular scientific rules, His work is SUPENATURAL
