Either way, it's only 5,000 years closer to 65 million years ago.

Alright then.Nickswitz wrote:Sorry, I was talking about the dinosaurs living when we were, I thought that Seafort I believe was talking about something else when I was rebutting his statement, but yes, I realize that there is almost no chance dinosaurs were around when humans were, and if any were they were probably only small ones, otherwise there would be some myths about them somewhere...
Fair enough...Sionnach Glic wrote:Even if we assume everything dated is 5,000 years younger than the official figure, it's still more than sufficient to allow us to gauge the approximate era the object lived in. So even with that, we can conclude that the earliest discovered human remains are still far older than what is biblicaly stated.
Wait, what????stitch626 wrote:On a side note, if the dinos were brought here, wouldn't they actually have breathing difficulties because of the sudden increase in oxygen?
Yes, they used 100% oxygen until Apollo 1, when it was one of the factors (along with a crew compartment full of flammable material, and an inward opening hatch) which contributed to the three astronauts burning to death.Lighthawk wrote:Didn't NASA use to give the astronauts 100% oxygen? They didn't seem to have any problems...except for that one time with the fire. Breathing wise though they were fine.
As I said before if that is the case then they are at best wrong and at worst morons or lying.sunnyside wrote:Yeah. I've never understood people who take Genesis completely litterally. In addition to what Tsu said when Cain was going to be kicked out he was worried about other people killing him. So there were already, well, other people around.
Hurm. Anybody know when Jews first show up historically? I mean the religion/ethnicity/culture had to get started off somewhere sometime, and it had to be thousands of years ago.
@Ian You can say that you don't feel abiogenesis is part of the theory of evolution, what I'm telling you is over here the two are generally convoluted together.
political, social, and economic science are not science and would never be taught in a science classroom, please don't try and get around issued by brining things outside of science into the discussions.In addition the experimentally falsifiable aspects of the theory, such as genetics and minor mutations, are combined with what is closer to forensic science and that is not reproducable.
In part you are trying to combine what some people call "hard science" and "soft science". They have theories in political, social, and economic science, however often they are accepted by some community, certainly getting through peer review, before they could ever possibly be tested, if they can even be tested at all.
Actually they would be in an all encompassing science classroom. But not in a biology classroom for example. Just like geology doesn't get taught in a physics room. The fact is there is no all encompassing science class.political, social, and economic science are not science and would never be taught in a science classroom, please don't try and get around issued by brining things outside of science into the discussions.
No, sorry that is not the case. No science classroom would ever teach economics. We have science classes in the UK, rather than Physics, Biology and Chemistry. In fact Graham teaches that subject. There is no way on earth that economics, politics etc would ever be taught in his class. It's not part of the national science curriculum for a start. It is taught in schools but it's not science.stitch626 wrote:Actually they would be in an all encompassing science classroom. But not in a biology classroom for example.

The reason theology shouldn't be taught in a biology class is because it isn't biology, no more than astronomy is.
