13. How could stars evolve?

​

Stars don't evolve.

Actually, stars do evolve. But the stellar evolution is different from biological evolution; one important difference is that in biological evolution it is populations that change over generations, while in stellar evolution it is individual stars that change over time.

Welcome back, Iron Man.What isn't good enough? Mr. Jack's attempt to "disprove" the flood? I don't think he's trying to prove Noah's flood didn't occur, at least not in that particular post; I suspect that he's arguing that we don't have any good reason to believe the flood did occur. In particular, he's explaining why the "Why does every culture have a flood myth" argument is not convincing.

I would like to see a reliable source describing these meteorites. I'm sure the existence of bacteria and the rest (supposing that the claims are accurate) are contamination in meteorites that have been "sitting around" for a long while. And I wouldn't be surprised if a few meteorites did originate on the earth, and were blasted into space by a huge impact, only to return later. We have examples of meteorites that have been identified as originating from other bodies; the SNC meteorites, for example, are believed to have originated on Mars.And Mitochondrial Eve is believed to have lived between 100,000 and 200,000 years ago. I have no idea where this "6000-7000 year" business came from.

Olympus Mons is a shield volcano, analogous to what we see in Hawaii.I can't conceive (argument from ignorance?) of an impact that could create a bulge on the other side of a planet like Mars; the rocks on Mars, first of all, would be elastic enough not to transmit the shock to form a bulge on the other side, and any impact that great would do a heck of a lot more than create a bulge - more like reduce most of Mars to outright rubble.Edited to add:
I was going to edit this message to say "melt most of Mars" instead of "reduce to rubble", but I see that Crashfrog has already seen information about Olympus Mons - I'm a bit late, I guess.[This message has been edited by Chiroptera, 01-13-2004]
