Science vs. Creationism

Wouldn't mind seeing this amazing garden.


Jazzfanz agrees.

Germination has begun, yo. It's really strange, but my iPhone camera is the pits compared to my old Blackberry camera, and it was four years old and cost 1/6th the price. Oh well, Apple has us all by the short hairs, don't they?

Zinnia's

Wave Petunia's (those little green leaves are smaller than the period at the end of this sentence)

4 O'Clocks (unfortunately, you can see that I've already got white fungus and the beginning of damping off. Oh well, test run.

Same with the Marigolds. However, the 4 O'Clocks and Marigolds are by far the heartiest of the group, most of them will pull through. If the petunia's even sniff a problem, they just fold over and die. I suck at petunia's.

Whoah!!! Those are some cool stuff!!! Wouldn't have taken you for the gardening type AT ALL!!!! Have you got a tunnel house / glass house that you propagate them in??? Are you just simple seed raising mix you're using ???


Look forward to seeing how those turn out!!!
 
Yo Trout, I can legit help you out with your soil type and figuring out what you can grow and how to do it well.

It's kinda my thang.

/my degree is in crop science

You should move to CO and start a business.
 
Just pointing out that without outside influence a natural system tends toward disorder, not toward order, yet DNA and evolution certainly seem more ordered than generally expected. So what is the outside influence?

Many evolutionary scientists consider dragonflies to be the earliest flying insects. One fossil discovered in France is the impression of wings of a dragonfly that had a wingspan of two and a half feet [75 cm]! It is the largest insect known, being more than three times the size of any living dragonfly.

‘How would it be possible,’ I asked myself, ‘for one of the most complex flight mechanisms known to man to simply appear, perfectly developed?’ “There are no fossils of insects which are intermediate between the wingless and winged state,” admits the book Alien Empire—An Exploration of the Lives of Insects. It is evident that dragonflies are the handiwork of an intelligent Master Designer.
 
The marvelous structure of our human body also testifies to the existence of a Creator. A close look at a tiny living cell will help us to understand why. Our body is made up of about 100*trillion (100,000,000,000,000) tiny cells. The complexity of each living cell can be likened to that of a city with its many operations, such as power generation, management, transportation, and defense.

In addition, the cell’s nucleus contains tens of thousands of genes in the intricately arranged DNA. It is said that our DNA contains enough information to fill an encyclopedia of 1,000 volumes. All this information constitutes a genetic blueprint and determines our skin color, hair type, stature, and countless other details of our body. If all construction blueprints require meticulous design, then who designed the complex genetic blueprint in our body?

The structure and the function of the various organs in our body are so intricate and ingenious that no man-made machine can even remotely compare with it. Of all the organs in our body, not one is more astounding than the human brain. The New Encyclopædia Britannica notes: “Transmission of information within the nervous system is more complex than the largest telephone exchanges; problem solving by a human brain exceeds by far the capacity of the most powerful computers.”

To scientists, the awesome function of our brain is cause for wonderment. Could this marvelous organ have been formed simply by having the correct atoms and molecules fall into place at random?
 
What conclusion can we draw from all of this? One thing we can agree on is that laws must have a law-giver and that design requires a designer. Since precise order, complex design, and immense wisdom are observed in everything—from the smallest cell to the boundless universe—is it not reasonable and logical to believe that there must be an all-intelligent and all-powerful Designer behind them?

The Bible is right when it says about God: “His invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable.” (Romans 1:20) Even though we cannot see God, our belief in his existence is no mere superstition. Daily, we deal with many things we cannot see, such as wind, electricity, magnetism, and the force of gravity. We know that they exist because we can observe the effects they produce. Similarly, the intricate design and the superb order in the universe distinctly testify to the existence of a Grand Creator.
 
KKKarolina, where are you copying and pasting your posts from? Seriously, I'd like to read it from the source.
 
I haven't read the thread, was just curious if you guys had this evolution controversy ironed out yet. Didn't want to have to find out on the evening news with the rest of America.
 
We have had five major extinctions on this planet, where almost all the life died out. One came because of a meteor crash.

...and you know this because.....you were there? Someone told you? You read it on the internet? Obviously, the Dinosaurs disappeared suddenly, but how is just an educated guess....and not that educated really!

Lol. Hilarity.

And you know Abraham Lincoln was assassinated because....you were there? Someone told you? You read it on the internet? Obviously, the Confederates disappeared suddenly, but how is just an educated guess....and not that educated really!

....illustrations fit material? Have to give you an F- on that one, Duck! Lincoln and the Confederates had eye witness documentation. That there has been 5 major extinctions due to cosmic rays, meteorites, etc. etc. etc.....is purely conjecture based on educated guess work. Some of it could have some factual basis, but much of that stuff is the figment of someones imagination!

Wait, wait, wait, so measurable evidence is less compelling than someone's word? Well hell, I've got some snake oil to sell. This guy witnessed it cure all his ailments so it has to be true. 10 bucks a bottle.

...not all, but much of it comes from the 2nd largest (printed and circulated) magazine on earth today! Let's see if you can hunt that one down!

Well, I guess that pretty much settles it.
 
I was gonna guess Reader's Digest.

The condensed version? The devil did it.
