Darwin Busters -- BOO-YAH! Take that, you God damned (damned by God, that is) Darwiniarian pettifoggers. We've put you in your place now!  This website is written to provide persons of faith substantial and significant evidence that Earth was designed by a Creator Who has provided for humankind's every need.
This website does not deal directly with evolution or the origin of species. We focus instead on the origin of the Earth.
We propose cogent reasons why the Earth itself must have been Intelligently Designed. In so doing, we prove indirectly, but conclusively, that Darwin was wrong |
Gotta give 'em top marks for perseverance, don't we? And look at the aerobic exercise all that hand-waving gives them. These guys are really on top of the game.

An example of the quality of the site:
"Did you know that our Earth's atmosphere is absolutely perfect for having STABLE FIRES? Fire needs oxygen to burn and if our atmosphere had just one percentage less oxygen, fire would not burn and humankind would not have been able to make fires. But also, if our atmosphere had just one percentage more oxygen, fires would burn out of control."
A simple 1 minute internet search turned up multiple sources showing that fires can burn in as little as 16 percent oxygen (current atmospheric concentration is 21 percent). Didn't see sources for how high it would need to be to be uncontrolled.
Sheesh.

Nice to see that our atmosphere was designed errrrrr just so happened to have a greater then 16 percent ratio then. |

Not getting it, Bill. What he's pointing out is that the "window" for fire burning is a lot wider than the 1 percent that the article was implying; therefore there's less "fine-tuning" that would have been necessary, and less of a "need" for a fine-tuner to exist. Something like that.

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Isn't it amazing that just enough news happens everyday to fill all the world's newspapers?
This is proof that God designed and oversees all daily human and world events around the 24 hour clock he invented. Those news Darwinists think that events; such as weather, agriculture, culture, politics, economics, war, peace, etc., are interconnected. |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

I think T_I covered my meaning quite suscinctly.
So Bill, you really think that web site makes some good points? I mean, really?

Well; it does now, if it was designed, it was designed poorly and nature had to correct God's negligence...
But one would expect the O2 concentration to reach some sort of equilibrium: the lowest the concentration of oxygen, the highest the concentration of CO2 and hence, the highest photosynthesis... That this equilibrium point is located very roughly into the same bullpark as something permitting a phenomenon our particular specie find useful is hardly that impressive.
And, of course, the origin of the earth, just as the origin of life itself, has nothing to do with Darwin's theory of Evolution. Even if both were created ex nihilo, it would not affect the validity of evolutionary sciences. |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Man, I thought this site was a hoax, until I checked out the links. Now, I'm just think the owner is dumb...really dumb.
I did get a little nostalgic about my early days as a residential electrician, though.
From the site;
Earth has every kind of tree we need, including the crucial RUBBER TREE. From the sap of the rubber tree, our forefathers used fire to make the rubber we needed to insulate electrical wires. Without rubber, we could not have harnessed electricity |
Wow, I remember knob and tube wiring. It knocked the hell out of me the first time I saw it. Well, I actually touched it--Not too smart, but I was young, dumb and had no idea why those bare wires ran through that attic. Funny thing, though— I never saw any rubber on it!
I did the same thing with my first cloth romex. I grabbed it and the cloth had dry rotted. It crumbled in my hands before burning me. But still, I never saw any rubber. I'm still trying to find rubber wire insulation.  |

Cloth romex? Oh, you mean spaghetti!Old Heathkit oscilloscope instruction: "Cover all wires with spaghetti."
Idiot who sent kit back for repair: "I couldn't figure out how to drill a hole in the spaghetti, so I covered the wires with elbow macaroni." The insulation I knew as a kid was plastic. And plastic still covers the everyday power cord. But now, all the low-voltage stuff is covered in Teflon.
The only rubber I know of in electronics is the plugs they put in the bottom of some "can" style capacitors. But it's been years since I've seen that, too. |

The very old but functional inter-office and office-to-customer phone cables I worked with back in the 1960's had the individual wires wrapped in thin paper, then twisted in pairs, and the whole cable sheathed in lead. The more modern cables around back then used vinyl insulation, with the sheathing made of thin corrugated aluminum, with a polyethylene outer jacket. No rubber anywhere.
I wonder if this Creo jackass knows anything about anything.

| Well, while there's all different sorts of insulating material, most modern wire is insulated with PVC and often with Teflon, including cable jackets. However, some electrical cables like SOW cord use CPE or EPDM/EPR rubber. Some cables even use silicon rubber such as in high voltage composite cables. However, it appears that our website designer thinks that this stuff comes from the para rubber tree. |

Automotive ignition wires used to be. Don't know what they use today.

And I am just glad that the window was designed, errrrrrrrrr, just so happened to be that which allowed controlled fire burning, life, internal combustion engines and all that other fun stuff. |

What validity? This is nothing but your belief system.
