Therein lies the problem, Evolutionism is based on an underlying
philosophy called Uniformatarianism, not a scientific method at

all.
Just the assumtion that processes follow one after the other. Makes
understanding thing much easier. The only problem is that the

evidence
does not bare this out. The uniformatarian scientist just went out

and
found info that supported there position, and ignored info that did
not. Sort of like picking yourself up by your boot straps. And

hence
uniformatarianism has fallen into disrepute in many quarters, and

the
superstructure of evolution abandoned by many scientist.


No, it isn't. Evolution is, once again, scientific theory. More
importantly, it is a unifying theory which has been supported by

many, a
great many, of scientific disciplines. This includes the following:

- anthropology
- geology
- genetics
- biology, biochemistry, and all other bio sciences
- chemistry

And the list goes on.

Your "uniformatiarian scientist" does not exist. You may have some
religious zealot making up words for scientists, but there isn't any
branch, individual, nor philosophy that fits this description.

Another philosophy has become more acceptable recently in the
scientific community called Catastrophism. This basically says that
cataclismic events occurred in the course of history that

completely
changed the course of history. Radical events and elements have

been
injected into the course of history that have determined where we

are
today. These events would make following any uniform record

impossible.
Hence though the dinosaur records are interesting, they are not
complete, and cannot be relied on for scientific information. Even

such
test procedures as C-14 dating etc would not be considered

reliable.


I see. Since it is convenient, we ignore scientific evidence and say,


"it is interesting." Since you seem incapable of understanding the
basics of these fields, mythology is much more meaningful for you.

How
pathetic.

I remember reading one of these pamphlets which claimed that they

carbon
dated a live insect and the result was wildly inaccurate. But, you
should know that you cannot get an accurate C-14 result on a live
animal. This does not invalidate carbon dating, it merely proves that


the indviduals involved attempted to use "spin" to convince the
unwitting of their political agenda.

Our motto is "Truth In Science". The truth of the matter about C/1999
H1 (Lee) is that nobody can project its path, and that the observed
rapid increase in brightness in connection with the officially supplied
orbital modifications provide a strong indication that it's going to
progressively bend inwards towards the orbital plane of Earth. We are
saying that all possibilities should be considered; now!

In fact it is talked about by many scientist, including the list you
made above. Some Christian, some non-Christian, from all specialties,
Past and present. The historian admitted that Darwinism is based on the
big U. The last quoted section was from an astronomer, who says that
all possibilities should be considered.

Nice try with your buffoonery, better luck next time. TnT

=====================
Not too surprising for you. You mentioned canada, and
definitions. I guess you don't follow the news from canada, eh?
According to the ontario education minister, 'strike' is a
5-letter word. Just a little defitent in math and'or english.
Given all that, I'm not surprised that you would have trouble
with definitions.

Hi Frtzw906, I'm here for a short bit, and I'll try to
translate. Our
friend "R" is sort of mixed up.

======================
Really? Show something that backs up your observation.


He jumps into this discussion and
lashes out at everyone, no matter what side of the discussion
your on.

============================
No, only those that display ignorance.



I think he is angry at everyone,

========================
Really? Show something that backs up any anger at anyone. That
sarcasm is beyond your concept doesn't mean anyone is angry at
you.



basically, he doesn't know whether
he's coming or going, just so he gets some response.

==============================
LOL So why are you posting? I care not whether idiots respond
or not. Their responses far more often display even more of
their stupidity.


I've noted this
behavior before,

====================
Really? Again, try backing up that observation.


and try not to let it bother me. But then according to
some, I'm a great one to call the kettle black! TnT

No, you did. The links you presented are mostly from religious sites,
which I will discard just as you do science. The other two are
references to previous beliefs, long refuled, which use the word. Any
scientist who believed that saturn and earth were formed by the same
processes would be laughed out of town. I have never met a scientist,
nor professor, who denied the global effects of volcanism or other
catastrophes. The recent tsunami, as were others in history, were
recorded in the geologic record. I never said the word didn't exist, I
said that the uniformitarian scientist doesn't. I stand by that
statement and nothing in the presented URL's supports you.

That sounds like a foreign language, and here I thought you Canadians
all spoke the Kings Engliss, or is that French. I was trying to be the
nice guy and bail old Frtwz out by translating for him. I figured it
would get Rick worked up even more, but Frtwz and I have been having a
decent palaver, and Rick jumped into the middle of it all, kickin and
screamin every which way. Sort of reminds me of someone I know, only to
well!!!

Hey you have not been around very much, so I am an equal opportunity
headache waiting to find an unsuspecting noggen to fall on. I don't
know that it is amazing that I come across so many mixed up people,
they seem to find me! HeHe!! Though there are plenty to go around, so
how many do you want?

But since you are here now, how have you been? I have missed our little
spats, and I certainly hope you are OKay. Any more of those raging
headaches since I last talked to you, hope not! Did you take that med
that I recommended? and did it work? Must assume that it did if you are
back for more. TnT

Here I thought you were an open minded liberal conservative scientist
that was interested in knowledge where ever he could find it. Shame on
me for assuming again. Narrowminded anti-religious scientist are well -
narrowminded. Not much difference that narrowminded fundementalist that
have their mind made up, no more data needed! A mind is a terrible
thing to waste, and waste, and waste! TnT

I live on left coast. i don't follow every detail of what goes on in
places like ontario. whatever the education minister in ontario says is
likely of little import to me.

it's almost a full-time job having disdain for the politicians who
actually do influence my life.

btw, what does "Just a little defitent in math...." mean? have you guys
come up with yet more ways to spells words differently? is that perhaps
an american spelling of "deficient"?

given what follows, that figures:
