Sorry, the super-genome has been falsified.
Also, the super genome is NOT an "assumption," Paul, it is a hypothesis, and something in that direction has yet to be explored thoroughly.
​
Sorry Faith but the super-genome has been falsified whether you are honest enough to admit it or not. See Message 1

I don't like the idea of banning anyone, but Faith hss in the past asked to be banned from the science fora. If she asks again then I see no reason not to grant the request.
​
There is no need to ban Faith from the science fora, she is certainly capable of simply not posting there. Banning her from that side will be used by her as as a crutch, much as she uses Original Sin and the Fall.
​
The facts are that she is not capable (and this is not her fault, the YEC/Biblical Creation/Biblical Flood concepts cannot be defended scientifically, they are simply wrong) of debating under the rules that science imposes. That does not mean that she should be prevented from trying.

This is about whether a belief Goddidit preclude doing science.
​
But that has absolutely NOTHING to with the thread or topic.
​
If Faith actually did what you assert there would be no problem. The issue is that in an honest search for how Goddidit in the case of the Flood, the answer turns out to be "God didn't do it because it never happened."
​
That is where Faith fails.

If they believe that something like the Biblical Flood is FACT then they cannot do science.
​
Period. That is it.
​
Unless they are honest enough to say that they hold the Flood tentatively and are ready to discard it if the evidence so indicates, they are not capable of investigating the flood.

Debate is always possible. What is impossible is for Biblical Creationists to ever do science related to things like the Flood or Age of the Universe or Evolution or Cosmology.
​
To do science you MUST be willing to abandon positions when the evidence demands.
