NOTB reliable sources? Really? the most concentrated PhD think tanks in the world are NOT reliable?
Compared to the deliberate FRAUDS perpetrated by the evolutionary crown since Hutton/Lyell and numbering in the thousands perhaps right up to the recent admission by BOTH Thweissen and Gingrich that their whale evolution is totally bogus, Evos have lied and decieved their way for almost 2 centuries.
What have any of these Creationist sites EVER done that was a deliberate fraud?
NOTHING!!
Yet the Bible is STILL far ahead of science.
Bible: millions of stars. Science - a couple thousand til 1700's
Bible: Life ONLY reproduces after its Kind Science - LAW of biogenesis
Bible: Expanding universe Science steady state universe til '66
Bible: quarantine and handwashing in medical situations Science - fired and disgraced doctor for washing his hands between patients.
This comparison list is LONG.
IT makes the Bible look like a textbook and the evos as buffoons.

"Bible: millions of stars. Science - a couple thousand till 1700's"
congratulation, the bible is supposedly more accurate than the science of 1700's. when you ready come join us in the 2010's.
also, millions is really an underestimation.
"Bible: Life ONLY reproduces after its Kind Science - LAW of biogenesis "
seem like you should've like a law that state that life can only come from former life, thus couldn't arise naturally. too bad its outdated, just as your biblical claim that kinds are static states.
"
Bible: Expanding universe Science steady state universe til '66 "
show me any priest or scholar of theology that mentioned expanding universe before the big bang theory.
"Bible: quarantine and handwashing in medical situations Science - fired and disgraced doctor for washing his hands between patients. "
sadly, that part is true. anybody should read about Ignaz Semmelweis, for more details.
still, medical knowledge was gathered by all the cultures for hundreds of generations via trial and error methods. the modern medical science founded upon those early findings to achieve greater success.
if you want your medical care to ignore the modern science, be my guest. see how that will work for you.
The ignorance in this is oppressive. Not a truthful sentence in the bunch. Now tell me where is this "concentrated PhDs think tank"? (Makes it sound like some sort of brain soup.) Please, don't tell me AiG.
* reads article *
Dr. Douglas Axe ....wrote a book .....that proves evolution is wrong because HIS numbers, pulled out of his well-educated ass, tell him it couldn't have happened fast enough.... "He hopes the book will dismantle the idea that doubting evolution equals ignorance." ( Of course he hopes that. Nobody likes to consider their views to be ignorant! He says this while completely ignoring the fact that doubting evolution does nothing at all that corroborates his "designer" hypothesis, and that AiG and their laughably-named "research team" have provided bugger-all to move it off that hypothesis non-starter position.)
He is amazed that HIS science agrees with HIS intuition: "it’s remarkable that the two agree so well.” I'm not sure that "remarkable" is the word I'd choose.
'...the recent admission by BOTH Thweissen and Gingrich that their whale evolution is totally bogus.'
'What have any of these Creationist sites EVER done that was a deliberate fraud?'
I refer you to your previous paragraph.
If the Bible actually said any of this, the Bible would be incredible. Sadly, the Bible only "said" (by way of its followers) any of this after secular science already realised its mistakes.
IT makes the Bible look like a textbook and the evos as buffoons.
None of which has anything to do with evolution, nice try.
Lyell was a firmly Christian geologist. The geologist Hutton pissed off the folks who believed that all rocks were created during a great flood, but neither could be considered an "evolutionist."
Where in the Bible are millions of stars mentioned? As far as I can tell, the largest number mentioned in the Bible is a "thousand thousand," one million.
"NOTB NOT FRAUDS EVER NOTHING!! STILL ONLY LAW LONG."

...and I'll just get my coat, shall I?! Or do you want Bumblebee to reformat himself from a 2009 Camaro to a Subaru Impreza?!
Cars? You fail me yet again, happylada . [/Megatron]
Portraying cretinism as science is a deliberate fraud. There is even a court case stating this fact.
The Bible: insects have four legs
The Bible: rabbits chew the cud
The Bible: men have one less rib-bone than women
The Bible: fathers have wombs
Of course the Bible is a textbook; it's a collection of books comprised of texts.
It's not a scientific textbook though, as it's so vague and contradictory that it can be made to say whatever you want it to say, and only after science has discovered something, fundies come out of the woodwork to say "the Bible says the same thing!!!" Well, why not say it first, for once?
What is "kind"? What are the boundaries between different kinds?
What does the Bible say about speciation, blue-ray or the United States of America?
the most concentrated PhD think tanks in the world
PhD think tanks? Are those to be found in Area 51?
I've spent most of my adult life in or around academia. While there are topical projects which spawn disserations and institutions known for specialization in certain areas, there is no such thing as a "concentrated PhD think tank". Anybody who has ever been involved in academia at a postgraduate level would know this. Knowledge and research are international. There is no monopoly on any field, anywhere.
Bible: Expanding universe Science steady state universe til '66
Ok, if the Bible speaks of an expanding universe, then why are fundamentalist Christians almost unilaterally and violently opposed to the idea, stating that the universe is now as it always has been and always will be?
Bible: quarantine and handwashing in medical situations Science - fired and disgraced doctor for washing his hands between patients.
Hmm, strange. While *caring* for the sick belongs to the basic Christian virtues (unless one is from the born-again-no-works flavor), medical research and invasive techniques were downright obstructed by the church(es) for a very long time, especially by the Protestants. Even today research in things like stem-cells is being opposed by the pious.
If Jesus had advocated hand-washing in medical situations, or said people should boil water before they drink it, or that they should bury their own feces a few feet down rather than letting it sit out, he would have accomplished a lot more. Revolutionary improvements in health: way more useful than the Lord's Prayer.
"a couple thousand"? try 9,096 . (assuming dark skies and normal eyesight. give or take a few hundred depending on eyesight, and up to all of them depending on light pollution.)
if any serious astronomer ever claimed just "a couple thousand", they should've been set to counting. it's not like it'd be hard, only boring, and they'd've got a decent star map out of the effort.
If the Bible is so "far ahead of science" then why does it seem that people only tell us about these things AFTER they are widely known by science? In other words, was anyone saying that the Bible says there are millions of stars BEFORE millions of stars were known to exist? (and I still want to know where it says that!)
It's like with the popular interpretations of Nostradamus (which I have read quite a bit about)...it's really easy for people to say how something he wrote points to Hitler or something like that, but no one seems to have came up with that idea BEFORE Hitler came around...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
