True, but I saw this almost 5 years ago and then I just said fuck it what does it matter how I was made as long as I'm here so I'm way behind on recent facts and all that jazz.

Well I do belive you, I want information. I don't really get this that's why I brought it up.

But they didn't jump off they got flung off because the speed was to much for them to handle. What's the difference? They don't spin; they continue in straightline motion tangential to the point where they were no longer connected to the merry-go-round.

Explain, I don't understand what you're trying to tell me.

I see your point and I think that I'm starting to understand now, but I get confuesed easly so use small words for me.

Nothing recent about centrifugal force, friend. Newton figured this stuff out. Hovind would have known better if he had simply observed reality, but then, if he did that, he wouldn't be a creationist.

Why wouldn't he have been a creationist?

I don't really get this.... There really is nothing to "get". The way the universe began has nothing to do with the way the planets spin today. Why would it? Computers have cut-and-paste functions. So does right-wing historical memory. -- Rick Perlstein

Very true, things change over time. They never stay constant for long.

I see your point and I think that I'm starting to understand now, but I get confuesed easly so use small words for me. Let me try something different. See? You can fill a bucket with water and swing it around your head; it doesn't fall out because centrifugal force is pushing it out towards the bottom of the bucket, holding it in place. That's because objects inside other rotating objects want to continue in a straight line; that's why you feel a force pushing you against the outside of the car when you make a turn. Your body wants to keep going in a straight line but the car is turning underneath you. We wouldn't experience those effects without the tendency of objects to go in straightline motion when released from spinning objects. If they wanted to spin instead, we'd observe different effects. If you've ever thrown a ball, you've used centrifugal force. If objects simply spun, instead, throwing a ball would be impossible.

Thankyou I think I understand now.

Why wouldn't he have been a creationist? People who have used observation of the natural world to arrive at the best explanation for the origin of life are evolutionists, by definition. Creationism is the "explanation" you arrive at when start with creationism, because you want to believe in it, and then you simply ignore everything that might contradict you.

theLimmitt writes: If you get 10 of 12 grade schoolers on a mary-go-round and have the highschool foot ball team spinning them around when they stop they will fly off and will all be spinning in the original direction of the mary-go-round. I've done the experiment many times - both as the victim and as the perpetrator. The children fly off in a staight line until they hit something. They don't spin unless they were spinning when they were on the merry-go-round. But, since the planets didn't exist at the Big Bang, they couldn't have had any initial spin - so Hovind's idea is irrelevant anyway. “Faith moves mountains, but only knowledge moves them to the right place” -- Joseph Goebbels

Well that dosn't really make sence does it. It has the same amount of energy but it's just being broken up into diffrent peices, so if the big bang is correct then wouldn't all the planets be spinning the same way? You seem to be mixing up the Big Bang with the formation of the Solar System, which happened billions of years later. I think the creationist argument that you're mangling (or that Kent Hovind has mangled for you) is this one. Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

It has the same amount of energy but it's just being broken up into diffrent peices, ... Correct, but the conservation of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum is the total of the system. Angular momentum - Wikipedia
quote: When each child is thrown from the merry-go-round the values of r and p do not change for that child, and the total of momentum about the origin is the same as before. What we are familiar with, and remember from experience, is the spin sometimes induced in the child from holding onto the handle and then losing grip in such a way that it induces a spin in the child based on the linear momentum of the child and the arm length (literally) of the child, and which ALSO results in a loss of angular momentum of the remaining merry-go-round (it slows down, having been pulled back), plus the effect of being dizzy. Try placing a ball on the merry-go-round on a ring (so that it resists some rotational speed) and when you speed it up enough that it rolls off, it will roll without spinning about the vertical axis.
Message 112 Dr.Hovind has a great example of ... ... how creationists LIE about science, regularly. Doesn't matter WHAT the science is, their objective is misinformation, misrepresentation and denial of reality. If creationism had a shred of truth, why would creationists need to LIE about reality? Even after they have been told that what they said is false. Enjoy. compare Fiocruz Genome and fight Muscular Dystrophy with Team EvC!
