Making a case for evolution: answer to ID advocates
by hamilcarr into all defenders of intelligent design: it is wrong to assume that evolutionary mechanisms cannot be empirically observed.. i'll give only one example to show evolution is all around us:.
fish are becoming smaller and growing more slowly in response to pressures introduced by fishing, scientists say (google ulf dieckmann).. researchers call this fisheries-induced adaptive change, showing that harvesting drives evolution towards smaller fishes.. many people think evolutionary mechanisms require millions of years to bring about such drastic changes and that it is therefore impossible to empirically observe adaptive change.. it is, however, becoming more and more clear that only two or three decades are needed to provoke large changes, in particular when pressures are high.. although some of darwin's are outmoded and easy targets of id advocates, these data perfectly fit in with the mechanisms he predicted to steer evolution..

Are you tired of the whole atheist/believer debate?
by nicolaou ini'm usually the first one to stir this particular pot but it get's so frustrating to keep coming up against the same old arguments.
the phrase "banging your head against a brick wall" springs to mind.
how many times have believers argued for a designer but refused to answer the obvious question of the designer's origin?.

Have you ever had a prayer answered?
by nicolaou inprayer topics seem to be the bandwagon of the moment so i'm jumping on!
seriously, has anyone here asked for something specific in prayer and actually gotten what they asked for?
what convinces you that you wouldn't have got it in any case?

The Origin-of-Life Foundation, Inc. The Secret $1,000,000 Prize
by Deputy Dog infrom http://www.scienceagainstevolution.org/v9i11f.htm
the secret $1,000,000 prize
one of the best kept secrets of science is the origin of life prize sponsored by the origin of life foundation, inc. when we first ran across their web site (www.lifeorigin.org), we thought that the offer of one million dollars to anyone who could propose a plausible theory for the origin of life was just a slick creationist trick for showing that the emperor had no clothes.

Watchtower comments that were extremely lame!!!!!
by free2beme ini always remember a point to the watchtower study, was that your comments should be about something that meant something to you or something you learned from the experience.
well, did anyone have a brother or sister in the congregation who did this .... "i would like to define the meaning to the most simplest word in this paragraph, to see if i can seem smart for knowing how to use a dictionary?".
... when i say simple word, i mean people defining "honor" or maybe something like "knowledge" or any other word a person with an education beyond the forth grade would know without the look-up.
