Dwayne: Sorry for the confusion. I don't consider myself an ID advocate in that they insist on an intelligent designer but won't say who that would be. I have on more than a dozen occasions conducted seminars on Creation Science, showing the YEC is completely compatible with a literal...

Dwayne: Not only do evolutionists not have a man of his caliber, but they have to ignore certain scientific facts in order to promote their ideology. I generally don't think that they are lying because I believe that most are sincere though mistaken. However, like Mormonism, I'm also sure...

Dwayne: An evolutionist that I debated years ago made one very profound and logical admission, that there is no possibility for natural selection to work until there is at least one life-form capable of reproduction. Unless, and until, there is a functioning cell with the ability to replicate...

Amen and amen!

Dwayne: I don't consider myself an ID advocate, although when dealing with evolutionists I take the same approach as they do and address the subject of scientific facts and not the forensics. If I can establish a point of doubt in their minds then I change to a Biblical approach, showing that...

Dwayne: Individuals in the ID movement attempt to deal with origins and Darwinism from a strictly secular perspective to avoid being seen as religious fanatics. After all, modern science does not allow the supernatural to be considered in any respect. So, if the debate can be won on purely...

Dwayne: Meyer, Axe and Gelernter have all concluded that it is essentially impossible that random changes to genes can make significant improvements by creating novel proteins, and I completely agree. But their math only defeats Darwinism, when the same methodology applied to origin of life...

It wasn't until I went back and finished the article that you provided a link for, that I realized that that was where I saw the name Gelernter. I had only read the first part of the article until just now. As soon as I have time to print and re-read it I will post again, as I believe that the...

Dwayne: All of the words are my own. I have seen Gelernters' name somewhere recently, but I am not familiar with his work or reputation. My first exposure to Creation Science was two evening lectures by John Whitcomb, and then "The Genesis Flood" and "The Modern Creation Trilogy". Growing up...

OK, let's get back to Natural Selection (NS). A fundamental concept of biology is that all life depends on information. All living things have DNA which contains the necessary information for the synthesis of proteins that are required by every cell for metabolic functions. Even the simplest...

Dwayne: Thanks for the links. I haven't finished the article yet, but I have been a fan of Stephen Meyer since "Signature in the Cell" came out in 2009. I am a Young Earth Creationist and always will be. And I don't agree that the Bible contains two different Creation accounts, but an...

Darwin gave us the first detailed explanation for how living things change. Though he knew nothing about genetics he was able to breed pigeons for specific traits and extrapolate those changes into the origin of entirely new species. The question is, is that extrapolation warranted based on...

Dwayne: As this thread is about to be closed I'll make only two comments regarding your post: 1. The issue with starlight is not that those stars are ancient, but that they are distant. Genesis clearly states that those stars were created after the Earth was created. So it is no...

Dwayne: I have been in the Appalachian Mountains, and I now live in the Rocky Mountains. And once again you make statements that cannot be demonstrated to be true. The undulating layers you mentioned could certainly have folded before the sediments hardened into rock. And how long it takes...

Dwayne: You keep talking about proof, but you don't present any. You seem to be ignoring that many cultures have traditions about dinosaurs (dragons) that existed long before we actually found dinosaur fossils. Look at almost any artwork from ancient China, and lots of cave drawings of native...

Dwayne: No, I'm not "trying out different theories"; what I did was demonstrate that there are evidences from modern observation that show that the Earth could be young. And the empirical evidence for an old Earth are hardly "overwhelming". It is a mistake to state emphatically that something...

Dwayne: The "geologic column" is a record of rapid, large-scale events that involve water-laid sediments. The fossil bearing layers are a testament to the speed with which they formed because they demonstrate that billions of plants and animals, on a global scale, were buried alive by...

Dwayne: You claim that the Grand Canyon didn't form quickly, yet we observed the formation of a similar, though smaller, canyon form in the Toutle River drainage over the course of a few days - not over millions of years. The only difference is the magnitude of the event, not the process. I...

Hi, I'm Dwayne, and I apologize for coming to the party late, but I'm new here and just came upon your post last night. I'm interested to know how you can state emphatically "We KNOW this" when, in fact, we don't know any such thing. The basis of empirical science is observation, testing and...
