Discussing the evidence that support creationism

Not at all.If I may make a suggestion, as someone who has studied physics: don't rely on Hovind for information. He is almost always wrong. He really doesn't understand basic science.

Probably because it's not true. I'm telling you; my major was physics, and that not only included learning the mathematical theory behind this, but also observing and doing experiments that verify this.But you don't have to believe me.

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?

I saw a similar article in something like Physics Today or in The Physics Teacher at roughly the same time.This was experiment where the subject was supposed to give a puck push so that it would enter a curved shape drawn onto the table at one end and exit the other end and stay within the shape in between. The correct solution was to just push the puck so it travelled straight through -- the curved track was wide enough so that a straight-moving puck would just pass through it without touching the sides. Yet all of the subjects tried to make the puck travel in a curved path matching the shape. Many of these subjects, if I recall correctly, had just completed a first semester course on college physics, where Newton's Laws of Motion should have been ingrained.

Set off an explosion in space. If you observe the expanding debris cloud, you'll see eddies spinning here and there in various directions.
