Here look, it's OK.

And a gravititational force is the rate of change of gravitational energy with respect to distance! Does that mean force = energy? Your definition of energy is faulty.
You are a scoffer? You don’t believe that life was poofed into existence by God?
“why is it a bad thing to breathe through your mouth?”
it’s just a leftarded smear, like “breeder”. darwinists have a lot in common with leftards.
I know it is impossible to involve a scientific illiterate in a discussion of science. I just wanted to point out for the casual viewer that you have no idea what you are talking about.
"Why should merely cracking down on terrorism help to stop it, when that method hasn't worked in any other country? Why are we so hated in the Muslim world? What did our government do there to bring this horror home to all those innocent Americans? And why don't we learn anything, from our free press, about the gross ineptitude of our state agencies?"
And yet instead, you illustrated your own scientific ineptitude! How ironic this all must seem for you.
Be careful what you post. God knows the truth and he is waiting ...
Not my science. By the properties of matter and energy that God created.
Magnetic fields store energy. Think of it like gravity. If you stand on earth, hold a 5-lb weight 5 feet in the air, then the system of the earth and the weight has potential energy. When you drop the weight, gravity converts that potential energy into kinetic energy. Once it hits the earth, the weight no longer has potential energy.
The same thing happens when you a steel ball bearing on a table and put a magnet nearby so that the ball bearing is in the magnetic field of the magnet.
Until you understand magnetism, I won't even go into energy carried by electromagnetic waves.
“So how old do you think the earth and universe are?”
Perhaps you should ask yourself why you’re asking that question.
I could be wrong, but I ask you that question because I have a pretty good idea how you would answer it. If my hunch is right, your answer would put you in a deeper hole than you've already dug for yourself. If I'm wrong, then I apologize in advance.
You said that magnetic field density (eg in Teslas) = energy (eg in Joules). that statement is false, end of story
What hole? You’re the one saying people come from monkeys, and ultimately fish & then dirt. That’s totally against the Bible and real science, and you can’t reconcile the two.
“found 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave the church after high school, never to return.
If this is the nonsense that you are feeding them, it’s not too hard to see why.”
Putting your own spin on a out of context idea?
Most children leave home after highschool, even the homeschoolers.
The Southern Baptist Council on Family Life found 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave the church after high school, never to return.
If this is the nonsense that you are feeding them, it’s not too hard to see why.
I rather doubt that the number is that high, but your statement is basically correct. My first degree was from Baylor, a Christian university in Waco, Texas. I saw kids coming in who had been taught since childhood that if you don't believe the earth is 6,000 years old, then you're not a real Christian because that's what the Bible teaches.
The poor kids don't stand a chance. They come in, take some courses in geology and biology, and recognize that the earth is not 6,000 years old. The science is irrefutable, so the first thing to go is their faith. What they don't understand is that the idea of a 6,000-year old earth is not Biblical and it certainly does not match what God has shown us through his creation.
Because of my science education and because of my career in science, I see how much harm it is done. I believe that Young-Earth creationism, along with Gnosticism, are the greatest heresies of our time and cause tremendous damage to the cause of Christ.
One does not have to leave one's brain at the door when becoming a Christian.
Stop it! You know how hard it is to distinguish satire from someone's dearly held belief on these threads.
Do I take you seriously or just believe that you're being a smart-aleck? I choose the latter because I'm a smart-aleck, too. :-)
The belief in Young-Earth Creationism requires believing in a lot of nonsensical claims. Everytime I get on these threads I think that I'm Alice in Wonderland.
Sorry, but that page is really dumb even by Young-Earth Creationist standards. There's just enough truth thrown in to make the gullible believe it.
Why do people from higher-latitudes generally have light skin? Have you ever heard of Vitamin D.
Why do people near the equator have dark skin? Because melanin protects people from sunburn.
By the way, the Bible says nothing about life on other planets. God loves life and he loves variety because he sure has created a lot of both on earth. Please point me to the place in the Bible where it says life only exists on planet earth.
No, I did not say that. I said that I have problems with evolution that are scientific, not religious. You've just hit upon one of the problems that I have with the current theory of evolution.
