[QUOTE]Originally posted by John Paul:
[b] John Paul: And you have to be crazy if you believe life arose from non-life via purely natural processes.[/QUOTE] ROTFLMAO! Nice try at changing the subject, but do try to stay focused, JP! We are talking about the feasibility of just two horses being adequately fed and watered for a year while onboard an Ark, not Abiogenesis. LOL!
quote: I would LOVE to read the book, actually, but I have, as yet, not found it in any used book stores. I don't pay full price for such books, on principle. If you have the book, which you obviously do because you quoted from it, perhaps you could provide some relevant references concerning herbivore feeding for me? In particular, I would very much like to know what Bible-age technology was used to compress hay and produce pelleted horse feed. (giggle)
quote: Oh, I'm sure they are.
quote: Maybe you could find the part in the book which tells us where Noah got the pelleted feed from? Surely they 'address' that technological breakthrough!

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Punisher:
[b]It is doubtful whether the humans had to clean the cages every morning. Possibly they had sloped floors or slatted cages,[/QUOTE] Sloped floors, unless they were only very slightly sloped, would be likely to make horses lame if they stood on them long enough. Also, slats make it more likely hat a hoof will get caught.
quote: Lots of salt water would be pretty bad for the horse's skin, and probably other animals', too.
quote: I don't think that earthworms can live in composting fresh manure because the decomposition raises the temperature too high. At least, parasites are killed in 'hot' manure, which is why you either want to compost it or spread it out in the sun.

I see a cached version upon my initial visit as well. I got in the habit of hitting 'refresh' button for IE to see the most recent version of the page. Hope that helps.

quote: Consider the stores of food and water estimated by the book in question, quote: 4000 tons of water is about 1,000,000 gallons. Do you construct a tank in the upper levels in order to use gravity flow for watering? Or do you keep it as a lake in the bottom of the boat and risk contamination with nearly a million gallons of urine running down those "sloped floors"? The tally for foodstuffs runs 65,000 cubic meters. Most of this will end up as feces. If you wash it down with salt water, how do you get the water into the boat and direct it to where it will be used. How do you drain it? Is there a drain plug in the bottom of the boat? As for the number of people in the ark, the Apostle says there were eight (8).1 Peter 3:20 [edited for content]------------------ Bachelor of Arts - Loma Linda University Major - Biology; Minor - Religion Anatomy and Physiology - LLU School of Medicine Embryology - La Sierra University Biblical languages - Pacific Union College Bible doctrines - Walla Walla College [This message has been edited by doctrbill, 03-11-2002]

Yes, depending upon the browser, the cached version can sometimes get loaded. Usually just clicking the refresh (Internet Explorer) or reload (Netscape) button loads the latest version. Is this sometimes not working for either of you?
Internet Explorer, and probably Netscape, too, allows you to set the options so that it always reloads the page, ie, it never uses the cached version. This will always work except when the WebHost is overloaded and hasn't yet produced the new page. --Percy

I tire of constant "master theological geological biologists" arguing things for which cannot be proven through scientific fact either way. Who was around before the flood that can bring material evidence of the world then? Who, on a human basis, sat on God's shoulder while the universe was made. Or who watched the big bang as it lightened up the nothingness?
Here are the facts. I'm sure neither quicksink nor J.P. have all the valid facts to argue...I mean debate the flood. You are both arguing from, at least partial, ignorance. There is no proof, that can be remade, to prove either. Quick has just as much faith in his beliefs as J.P., but neither are proof of the flood. As for me, I am a Christian who believes in Creationism. Can I prove it scientifically? No. Can I prove all came from a single author by the way everything is connected around me, organic and inorganic? I believe so. Do I tire of evolutionists acting like they have proof of their beliefs and ridiculing mine. Absolutely! Faith, by its own definition, cannot be proved. These theories are based on faith. Who can argue that?! My faith says we were created by God, with His Spirit indwelling, for a specific purpose. I choose not to believe I am some jumble of molecules without purpose, aimless in a lonely universe. How do I scientifically prove that? As easily as an atheistic evolutionist (not all evolutionists are atheists, I know) can prove the opposite is true. It is faith being argued here, not facts because none of us have them. Quicksink. When you prove, with scientific data, your theory is absolute, I'll stop and listen and decide. J.P. Do not get pulled into the arguments this creates. God is not on trial. He doesn't need our fights. I choose to argue immediately after I see Scientific proof of evolution. You would be wise to do the same. God bless both your lives and endeavors. 2MT.

quote: 1)Science does not prove, proof exsists in law and maths not science.... 2)Hmmmm.... the sumerians, the egyptians, possibly the hittites, add long list of ancient cultures here..... 3)Certainly not the middle eastern authors of a certain religious text.... Also there is a defined limit to what can be observed which is that only events after the end of the Planck era can be observed.... 4)No scientific theories are based on evidence.... Its what makes them scientific... 5)Ahh the real reason you are a creationist, the alternative doesn`t fit your vanity and need to feel special... 6)To be frank I`d be amazed to see you *prove* anything scientificaly, hey I`d be amazed to see anyone *prove* anything scientificaly... 7)Just a small point if he were somehow to *prove* a theory you wouldn`t get to decide you would by nature of the *proof* subscribe to that viewpoint.... A lot of what you posted shows an ignorance of how science works and what it does, please, just so we don`t have to go over it for th 8th time go and find out about the scientific method before posting about science *proving* things....

"tc- address n2c's issue."

"So how did Noahs family keep all these animals alive? How did they keep them from eating each other? There must have been more then just Noahs family on-board to feed and take care of all these animals. "
--Take into account lethargy, a large quantity of the present animals on-board would become drastically lethargic, decreasing metabolism and activity, thus the need for care. And why would anything eat anything else if it had not desire to. "The Philadelphia ZOO employs about 400 people FULL TIME, and there are about 1800 animals housed at this ZOO. I can guarantee you that more then 2% (8 people out of 400) are employed full time to feed and take care of these 1800 animals. How did Noah and his small family keep these animals alive?"--And people complain to me on compairing apples and oranges. :\ ------------------

"here is another issue- on the ark, did animals hold their bladders and butts?
is someone going to tell me that 8 or so people removed all this waste from the ship?" --Excellent vocabulary and choice of words.. I think that I must side with John Paul (I believe it was JP) on this one that you really should attempt to locate a copy of the book, Noah's Ark - A feasable study. Excretory requirnments and removal of feces from 'cages' or wherever the animal were located could be one of many processes. They could have possibly had sloped flores or slatted cages in which waists would roll and be flushed out, there sertainly is no problem with all the water present in a Global Flood. AiG - "Absorbent material (e.g. sawdust, softwood wood shavings and especially peat moss) would reduce the moisture content and hence the odour." ------------------
