  hi does anyone know any good articles or videos about how old mankind and the earth are and carbon dating?

  .

  i've just started looking into it but there seems to be a lot of conflicting ideas over accuracy so i'm unsure what to think.

  Most of the Catholic church's magnificent buildings were financed by exploiting the fear of hell.

  Venus - Why are you confusing evolution with abiogenesis and then confusing both of those with atheism?

  Fact 1 - Humans evolved from non-human ancestors. This fact is not dependant on explaining how geochemistry gave rise to biochemistry.

  Fact 2 - The vast majority of intelligent believers accept fact 1. It is only a small minority of xtian fundies (and most Muslims) who insist on wallowing in ignorance.

  I too asked the same question to my professor who was a creationist. - Venus

  Having dumb teachers is bad luck but you can't use it an excuse for your entire life.

  Then I chanced to read Signature in the Cell (by Stephen C. Meyer)

  If you fell for that pile of bullshit you knew nothing at all about the evidence for evolution and still don't.

  Real problem is not that creationists have not studied evolution. Many of them have studied it, and some of them also have done their homework (like me) - Venus

  I have never encountered a creationist who knew the first thing about evolution and I have had exchanges with dozens of them. Your own contributions betray a woeful ignorance of science.

  Hooby - You linked a pseudoscientific article written by a creationist charlatan who either didn't understand the paper he/she did violence to or did understand it and did violence to it deliberately.

  Then we have to add another level of deceit when creationists like yourself quote the article written by the charlatan even though you don't understand the article and haven't read the original paper to see for yourself how your creationist charlatan is doing violence to it.

  The article is about how rare mutations contribute to the risk for disease. It also explains the 'excess of rare variation across the exome' by examining the population explosion that occurred around 5000 years ago.

  Nowhere in the article - not even on one occasion - do the authors mention your bogus term 'genetic entropy'.

  Please read the article before you try to tell us what it is about.

  Brilliant job Christian and Katja!

  I watched it online in the UK and was really impressed by the quality of the programme. Well done to all involved.
