[QUOTE][b]Thats their Creationist accusations, not making relevance to creation science. Creationism and Creation science are different concepts.[/QUOTE]

[/b]

Can you logically justify that dichotomy? "Creation science" is a product of Creationism, so similar that the terms can be used interchangebly. What discredits creationism discredits "creation science". Also notice that the court cases do not make a distinction between "creationism" and "creation science".

The terms "Creationism", "Scientific Creationism", and "Creation Science" are interchangeable.

Legal definitions as declared by US courts

McLean v. Arkansas, United States District Court

"The terms ``creation science'' and ``scientific creationism'' have been adopted by these Fundamentalists as descriptive of their study of creation and the origins of man. Perhaps the leading creationist organization is the Institute for Creation Research (ICR)...."

II. Definition by the Scientific Community

Edward v. Aguillard Amicus Curiae Brief by 72 Nobel Laureates

"The District Court held that, beneath the labels, the terms "creation" and "creation-science" embody the principles of a particular religious sect or group of sects."

A Creationist is a person that believes in "Creation Science" or "Scientific Creationism", which are synonyms.

Also, since you believe there is some kind of dichotomy, will you concede that Creationism is not scientifically valid and is therefore not a scientific alternative to evolution?

--Hm.. I don't think I disapear, I know I've addressed this before, I would like you to tell me what you would like to be associated with? What kind of explination would you like. There is a Theory for everything really that the creationists have, lets discuss one of a specific nature. I would find it more interesting if you would tell me what you would like me to explain, like I would rather ask you how you explain something. Probley because I don't have the Evolutionist mind-set, that is, It is harder for me to point out fallacies on the creationist side than the Evolutionists.

How about providing a scientific theory? What is the problem with that? I'm leaving this as broad as you like. I would like you to explain any natural phenomenon using 'creationist science'? Clear? Good. You can be specific and identify one.

How are they different? Secondly, if it is science, why the modifier?

i can see courts claiming things like this. you believe what you believe not what someone tells you to. im sick of people making decisions for me. so let them say what they want to, i dont agree with it anyway.

--Well if you seriously just wan't a theory, ok, I was giving you the ability to tell me what you want the theory to be about. But lets see, a creationist theory. There has been much discussion, for instance, on the theory of Impact craters, I presented my own rudimentary theory on a plausable reason we may find some 'craters', I will present two views. My first theory, I would call the impact culdera theory, now I have not put this through much discussion, I have just given a basic presentation. I'll quote myself.

Also, a another plausable explination for the emense size of craters is from colapse of magma reservoirs creating hollow chambers the collapse under the weight, which was eroded by a factor of the global flood covering the collapsed magma reservoir. Just a thought form some reading I've been doing on Marine Geology.

---

quote:

---

This is an image of the Halemaumau Volcano in Hawaii, this is a Caldera formed by this action.

--As you can see in the image it is quite relativelly circular and is vastly emense. If this crater were to have the effects of erosion from a large amount of water as if a lake, at its rim, it would turn out much more circular than it currently is.

---

--My other plausable theory on this would be, that at the point of impact by the celectial object, whether comet, meteorite, or some other body that hit the earth. It would be that by the effects of a possible factor in the initial impact, would have been greatly effective in the calculation in the velocity or size of the impacting body. The factors quantifying the characteristics of the crater we observe today could be from different causes, for instance, viscosity of the compound impacted, the material that was impacted, its fluid saturation, amount of solidification and depth by which it is solidified.
--A conclusion at this point in this theory is that factors in the initial impact would have been much more 'leanient' if such a word would be used. That is, the impacted material, in theory would have been a time during the flood or shortly after in where non-solidified/lithified sediments were impacted and this Water saturated sediment was thrown into the air. Continuing to remain saturated by the effects of emense clouds of vapor covering a high portion of the earth, and simply returned to earth within a still large radius from impact.
--After impact a crater could have possibly, if impacted while flooding was still occuring or in an area where flood waters had not receeded, some erosion would have taken place, possibly widening the crater.

--These are my two theories on the Creation of the various impact craters, within the realms of science of a different interperetation. These are my rudimentary, non-peer reviewed as-of-yet theories.

very interesting, itll also be interesting to see if your right.

"very interesting, itll also be interesting to see if your right."
--Personally, I would expect a hit by my 'Caldera impact theory'. As possible remnants of the reservoir, which would intern trigger the cause of this collapse, caused either by Meteor impact or was itself a cause on its own without celestial devestation, would need to be evident or a feasable explination. Though I would also speculate that such a remnant would never had been considerd, thus examined the possibility.

this could also mean that a comet never hit the earth and killed the dinosaurs. i also think its feasable that dinosaurs existed in our human time period. is there anyway to confirm this by testing the craters for recent volcanic activity from now to before the flood?

Are you trying to explain impact craters as being indeed volcanic calderas?

I think the characteristics of the two are clearly distinguishable.

And what does this have to do with the evolution/creation debate?

"Are you trying to explain impact craters as being indeed volcanic calderas?"
--Yes, just a thought, and I thought I would suggest it.

"I think the characteristics of the two are clearly distinguishable."
--Very possibly yes, as I pointed out, there should be something you can get at.

"And what does this have to do with the evolution/creation debate?"
--They wanted Creationist theory. So I gave 2 of my thoughts on how cratering impacts could form within our time-scale without ending the world simmultaniously.

--- thats why i asked if that if they can be, how you could, and then that they shoud be tested. i want to know too.

minnemooseus:

----a lot. it can prove that dinosaurs existed during man's time and were possibly wiped out in the flood. it can prove that the flood actually occured. it can prove that "earth life destroying" comets have never hit the earth or at least not while man was in creation, which could be the first days of earth's creation, by God, or anytime before man in an evolution viewpoint.

To have a volcanic caldera, you must first have a volcano. If there are no volcanic rocks present, that eliminates it being a caldera.

Even if volcanic rocks are present, impact structures show characteristics such as high pressure formed minerals and related fracture patterns.

anyone care to travel the earth and investigate this? or see if someone has?

thanx for explanation moose
