I thought it would be useful to create a thread for any Creationist to list and link to specific Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Zoology, Palontology, etc., papers from the professional literature which show evidence of containing false, inaccurate data, or poor methodology
Who says because I am a creationist, I think scientists are liars? Isn't this a harsh assumption? I might not find fault or innacurate data, but this doesn't mean assumptions and conclusions are correct, pertaining to the philosophy of the evolution story.
This itself doesn't prove much for you, unfortunately Shraff.
Your point seems to be, that because there are no errors in methodology, or the facts are straight then evolution is true and creationists are found wanting, therefore our data is accurate, which means creationists can't offer another conclusion. Am I right?
But you can only conclude that the fault doesn't reside within the methodology, but infact it can still be at fault pertaining to how one concludes as to what is meant by one's findings.
For example, if I find a stuck-in-a-rut species, like a dragonfly, whom has a fossil identical to it's present day morphology, Do I conclude that this fits with the creationist explanation, or do I stick with my evolutionistic paradigm, and let the philosophy never be shaken by creating my own ideologically comforting falisification structure? Thus guaranteeing that I have biasedly confirmed evolution in my mind, where there is no confirmation.
Think about it. We don't argue with your findings, just your conclusions and think that the fallaccy of exlusion is prevailent amongst the mainstream.

Please, no replies, this is off-topic. --Admin
This isn't an accusation. It's an independent observation of logical endeavour. I thought criticism was most welcomed in science? Well then, I'm sure the big guy can take it.
Look at it logically.
Apparently the theory says, If evolution happened then we should see many transitional forms.
In that logical form, If you get none-transitional forms = no evolution. because falsification is necessary.
But isn't it infact an illogical endeavour that happens? Don't the mainstream say, "oh well, let's see how evolution explains none-transitionals".
OFCOURSE you won't get mention of none-transitionals, As the evolutionary assumption is that they're not there. Hence evolution answering to the falsification overides the falsification. So instead the evo says, "evolution made these none-transitionals aswell, we'll call it normalised selection".
The fact that a none-transitional species, which has not evovled, (proven by the evidence of fossils from hundreds of millions of years), should be enough to make you conclude that this falsifies the evolution claim, and is the denial of the consequent. But this doesn't happen because evolution is your baby that you love too much.
So please tell me what would falsify evolution Shraff. Thanks. Because apparently any evidence against it is simply explained away rather than adressed, IMHO. This isn't an accusation, it's simply people getting comfortable because they treat evolution as a given. That's why you'll only find evidence against the ToE at AIG.
You could find ten thousand so believed "transitionals" but only if the theory says they should be transitional, do you say they are. The fallacy of exclusion shows that if you take the evidence against evolution into account, then that should tell you that these aren't infact transitional species.
With great claims must come great evidence. Since a none-transitional genuinely falsifies evolution.
PS> If I am mistaken about the logical form of the Theory, show me a simple logical form, and how it could be falsified. Since I speak the language of logic, I submitt that I would be instantly convinced if there was a logical form that made sense. I've just never seen one.

Re: hi Shraffy
Please, no replies, this is off-topic. --Admin
This post is on-topic for reasons noted lower down in this post pertaining to the use of scientific data.
AIG writes:
Palaeochiropteryx tupaiodonone of the ‘oldest’ (by evolutionary reckoning) fossil bats. It was found in the Messel oil shale pit near Darmstadt, Germany, and is ‘dated’ between 48 and 54 million years old. It clearly had fully developed wings, and its inner ear had the same construction as those of modern bats, showing that it had full sonar equipment (see chapter 9 for more details of this exquisitely designed system
AIG writes:
Australian scientists announced in February the discovery of dozens of fossilized sea turtles that they say have exciting implications for evolution.1 However, the exciting implications seem rather to be against evolution!
The fossils are believed to be 110 millions years old. But contrary to evolutionary expectations, they look basically the same as sea turtles do today.1
Evolutionists have no idea where the sea turtles came from or what they are related to. They just appear in the fossil record (the oldest, a single specimen found in Brazil in 1998, is dated at 115 million years), fully formed and fully recognizable. They have since remained virtually unchanged for over 100 million years,

AIG writes:
Regarding salamander fossils recently found in China, we learn that Despite its Bathonian age, the new cryptobranchid [salamander] shows extraordinary morphological similarity to its living relatives. This similarity underscores the stasis [no change] within salamander anatomical evolution. Indeed, extant cryptobranchid salamanders can be regarded as living fossils whose structures have remained little changed for over 160 million years.2
Scientists have found from microscopic examination of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) fossils, dated to be 3.5 billion years old, that they are essentially identical to the blue-green algae that are still living today.3 Microscopic algae didn’t change over 3.5 billion years of evolution?
Shraff, I've highlighted my point in this thread. Here we have creationists coming to a creationist conclusion pertaining to evidence SCIENISTS find.
Sure, I can't pin down the exact research data, but this shows that we infact use the very same scientific data that those scientists use, for our own creationist theory.
All the examples above, are just a FEW examples of the evidence we use, that for us, falsifies evolution.

On a related note, what's the record for consecutive: "Please, no replies, this is off-topic. --Admin"? This thread has got to be close to a record
It's because I am in the thread.
I don't know if you've heard of me at this site, but each time I take part I am very closely watched, and usually reprimanded for the most trivial reasons imaginable to mankind. What the admin never realise is that usually I'm no trouble untill they start playing power games like this. I suspect there'll be no bannings, and you'll just get the sign "no respones to this message" untill I make a post like I am now. I'm the one they're fishing for.
I've tried to answer your post in this post to Shraff.
PS> Shraff, it's important to note that if the layman's eye recognizes a species then that is significant. for a layman doesn't have much knowledge of species YET he notices a fossil species as "recognizable". So logically, infact his lack of knowledge makes my point even stronger Shraff.

Hey phatz, why did you pull up this old topic? I thought I had been permanantly suspended again when I read through and seem Percy's post. For a minute I was wondering what on earth I'd done wrong. Lol.
