Dwayne: There is one more dating scheme that warrants looking at, and that is carbon 14 (C14). Unlike the other radio isotope dating methods this one is generally used to date specimens believed to be less than 100,000 years old. Because of C14s very short half-life (5,730 years) it is more...

Dwayne: My apologies. The phrase you used, "God transformed the Earth" sounds a lot like what Gappers say about the Earth being destroyed and reformed between verses 1 and 2.

Dwayne: Are you defending the Gap Theory? Your response sounds like you are. If so, I would strongly suggest that you read Weston Fields Unformed and Unfilled, A Critique of the Gap Theory. There is no lexical justification for an interpretation of Genesis 1 that includes a Creation/chaos...

Dwayne: You seem to have missed the point of Austin's test. It makes no difference whether he withheld the fact that he knew the age of the rocks, or if he had presented samples whose true age was completely unknown. The fact is that the test failed miserably, and if he had said something...

Dwayne: If science is the all and end all, why do the pronouncements of science keep changing? Is it because new discoveries shed new light on old theories, or because the defenses of atheistic dogmas are forced to adapt to the undeniable? Radiometric dating is a case study in how “science” is...

Dwayne: No, empirical science doesn't say "There is no God", but its insistence that everything must be explained only by natural processes leaves researchers with no alternative but to ignore evidence that can only be explained by supernatural causes. That results, inevitably, in drawing...

Dwayne: I have posted this argument before, but it bears repeating. Hawking said that all scientific concepts are provisional because you can never be sure, no matter how many times you test it, that it won’t be falsified the next time. And given that secular science allows no room for...

Dwayne: I suspect that they draw the line wherever they won't be criticized by anybody for being "religious". I consider it a great privilege to defend the Word of God as written, and without apology. I understand that portions of the Scripture are parabolic, others are poetry and some are...

Dwayne: The secular explanations for the origin and current configuration of the universe in general, and our solar system in particular, seem to be at odds with the law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. If, for example, the universe resulted from the expansion of a super-dense...

Dwayne: I feel the need here to address an issue that has been challenged by some believers, mostly theistic evolutionists I suspect, and that is of a recent Creation with the appearance of age. The main argument seems to be that for God to create a universe complete with SNR’s and distant...

Now we need to move on to another area where evolutionism is at odds with scientific laws. This time we will consider the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics. Many scientists consider these two laws to be the best proved of all the laws of physics. When people like Dawkins and Gould (currently...

Dwayne: Agreed. That is why, in part, that I have started a new thread dealing with evolutionism and the laws of science. The first post dealt with Boyles' Law and Cause and Effect. Next will be the Laws of Thermodynamics. I welcome your feedback/criticism.

Dwayne: Yes, indeed. The problem is much, much worse. This is why I referred to the law of Cause and Effect in the first post. Only the God of the Bible could be the "First Cause". Next we'll look at the laws of thermodynamics.

Dwayne: I learned everything I needed to know about Dawkins when he said "It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet someone who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid, or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that)".

Dwayne: The very essence of modern science is a search for the truth, and the best definition of empirical science is the objective, systematic analysis of observable, repeatable processes. All beliefs about unobserved past events are heavily dependent on inference and indoctrination...

Dwayne: That's very clever. May I quote you? Have a great day!

Dwayne: I think this would be a good time to answer the question “Does Natural Selection Really Work?” I’ll go back once again to a question I asked of an evolutionist that I debated some years ago. I asked him if there were any prerequisites to the operation of natural selection (NS). His...

Dwayne: I am inclined to believe that the serpent in the garden was a real snake that had legs and could talk, and that he somehow conspired with satan to deceive Eve. If the serpent was satan himself in the form of a snake why would God punish real snakes for something they had no part in?

Dwayne: I have the utmost respect for Morris and Whitcomb, their work and their legacy. It is discouraging that so many Christians, even Baptists, who choose to interpret the unchanging Word of God by the ever-changing dictates of science, instead of the other way around. As I have said...

Dwayne: I think there is room for both approaches; one assumes that the God of the Bible is the designer, the other declares it without apology and both make their case based on objective science. As for the verses in Romans, they are all true; the first two, at all times and the third is...
