Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Global Warming - We've Been Here Before

Agree, whether or not there was divine involvement.

[quote=J. B. funny, but i always thought and felt that higher air temps mean lower air density...

open the fridge door, and the cold air drops down to your feet;
start the heater, and the warm air goes up towards the ceiling...

For dry air this is true. Add a bunch of water molecules (humidity) and density increases. The higher the temperature the more water the air can hold hence the term Relative Humidity.

Agree.

Evolution: Don't believe in it. I believe that this rock we live on could be umpteen ages old, but I believe in the story of the literal 1 week of creation, whereas life and the ability to sustain life was added to this rock.

It could be that more than 1 generation of creations happened here which could account for why some really old stuff has been found. But, then again, how reliable is the carbon dating, and could something recently created show as being old using carbon dating?

I don't call this a closed-minded opinion, just a different opinion. It seems most scientifically based minds are more close-minded to the creationist views than vica-versa.

If you disagree are you scientifically illiterate?

Agree.



Technically yes, but nobody will call you that .

Someone please provide a explanation of the emergence of language which necessarily arises from the theory of evolution.

Very.


No.


That's because creationism is not science. There's no way to run an experiment or otherwise scientifically investigate creationist claims, so scientists cannot give a verdict on the truthiness ( ) of creationism.

Here's an overview.

Here's a relevant quote from the overview: The Broca's and Wernicke's areas of the primate brain also appear in the human brain, the first area being involved in many cognitive and perceptual tasks, the latter lending to language skills. The same circuits discussed in the primates' brain stem and limbic system control non-verbal sounds in humans (laughing, crying, etc.), which suggests that the human language center is a modification of neural circuits common to all primates. This modification and its skill for linguistic communication seem to be unique to humans, which implies that the language organ derived after the human lineage split from the primate (chimps and bonobos) lineage."

Peter just asked for an "agree" or "disagree". We've "discussed" this topic before and it unfortunately turns kinda nasty. It's civil now, but.
