Hypotheses that aren't falsifiable in principle simply aren't science. |

Why not question something for a change?

Never let it be said that da filth is afraid to give equal time to rebuttals. He is, after all, not a Republican. A science center's not-so-scientific critique of the Creation Museum
Laymanby Mark LooyJuly 30, 2007
Dr. Eugenie Scott, an atheist and recipient of the Isaac Asimov “Humanist of the Year” award, directs an organization called the National Center for Science Education. The NCSE, despite its noble-sounding title, is really an organization that was established to oppose the creation movement in America.
Dr. Scott visited AiG a few months ago to interview AiG-US President Ken Ham, with a British Broadcasting Corp. radio correspondent on hand to record the dialogue. After her visit, Dr. Scott was quoted as saying that AiG's Creation Museum was “worrisome.”1
A few weeks ago, another NCSE-affiliated visitor dropped by AiG and the museum. Daniel Phelps, president of the Kentucky Paleontological Society, toured the Creation Museum and wrote a review of his museum experience for Dr. Scott's NCSE website. The inaccuracies and lack of careful research (his obvious anti-creationist agenda aside) betray Dr. Scott's claim that she insists on maintaining high academic standards at the NCSE.2 We were also surprised that some profanity was permitted to remain in the anti-museum article, and we note, too, that the column is peppered with nonacademic language (e.g., the museum's content is described with words like “insane,” “quack,” and “bunk”).

I didn't know that Ham has never been ordained. As I have been ordained, perhaps I should offer him some spiritual guidence. Then, after a period of pennance and the changing of his ways, he might not get called an insane quack spewing an endless tonnage of bunk.
And on a realted matter, that I probably should have made into another topic and posted in Humor, but that seemed like a lot of unnessary hassle, we have this: Creation geologists meet at Cedarville
Laymanby Roger Patterson, AiG–U.S.July 31, 2007
Cedarville University recently played host to the First Conference on Creation Geology. The theme for the gathering of creation geologists from around the world was “Geology Education for the Future.” The first two days of meetings involved presentations by scientists. This was a forum for presenting new models and ideas to peers to foster communication among different disciplines and to receive feedback on the scientific and scriptural validity of the ideas being presented. Presenters included Dr. John Baumgardner from the Institute for Creation Research, Dr. John Whitmore from Cedarville University, Dr. Andrew Snelling (who will be writing a more detailed semi-technical report on the conference, highlighting the significant technical contributions, for this website soon) from Answers in Genesis, Mike Oard, John Woodmorappe, and many others.
Topics covered during the technical presentations included: advances in radiohalo studies, a new model for explaining rapid reef growth after the Flood, identifying the post-Flood boundary in the rock record, the presence of carbon–14 and xenon–129 in deep gas wells, a model for explaining magnetic reversals, developing a degree program to train creation geologists, and other ideas related to creation geology. After each presentation questions were taken from the audience of about 50. The questions and comments will now be used to refine the models |

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini |
