    "Creation science" is not an acceptable methodology in the scientific community. You're not going to find "peer reviewed" creation science for this reason. You may find an article here and there that challenges some point, but that's about it.

    Well, on one point, think of this. The process of natural selection (a core part of evolutionary theory) is simply a description of the basic fact that the organism suited to survive will survive, and the organism not suited will not. If some random mutation or other developmental factor gives rise to an organism with a unique advantage in a given environment, then that organism, unless otherwise hindered, will thrive. If a mutation is harmful, then the organism will not be so fortunate. It doesn't necessarily mean that the better-suited organism has to be more complex, only better suited for survival. It doesn't even necessarily have to be an advantage in an absolute sense. You can look at the example of sickle-cell anemia. Individuals with sickle-cell and carriers of the gene are more resistant to malaria. In an area prone to malaria, the sickle-cell gene, while harmful in the long run, may prove advantageous against malaria.

    Natural selection is not evolutionary process. Plain and simple.

    Your saying so doesn't make it true.

    AIG is a ministry, not a scientific organization. They start with a predetermined answer and seek to fit the facts to their answer. Science goes wherever the evidence leads and presupposes nothing.

    Riley, don't ever lose your inquisitive mind. I can tell you are a very intelligent young woman. Question everything and demand evidence to support what anyone tells you.

    :laugh:

    They actually start with the crazy idea that the Bible just MAY be telling the truth.

    I tried to get some people to talk about AIG a while ago, and only a few people participated.

    But some folks would rather trust man-made science than plain biblical truths, and those are the folks uncomfortable with AIG.

    Contrary to MP's advice, I would say trust the Lord in all things, and lean not to your own, or anyone else's understanding.

    There are words to that effect, in the book some people want you to doubt.

    Curtis, I agree.

    I know ALL about how the world wants you to doubt the Bible, and I know who is behind all of that. I've had a lot of... different experiences in my life and so I've had a lot of Christian and Atheist background. But I've know the truth, since I was 6, and I never let go of it. And I don't plan on it, either.

    now. I'm wondering if any 2 people here are interested in taking a place in the debate. It's no big deal if you can't or don't want to. A couple of my friends left it, so we're looking for more people to fill the spots.

    Actaully, this isn't true. There is quite a bit of peer reveiwed things out there they just aren't talked about much in the 'scientific' community. Not because it isn't true, but because it isn't what the powerful, who watch dog over their mainstream view, want taught and so peaple will be made to shut up or even get fired over it. Funny thing about those getting fired is that their employer will state other reasons but it is quite a coinsidence (sp?) that it is shortly after agreeing with or writing such papers. I have a listing of many of them somewhere in Creation science notes over the years.

    Funny thing also is that many non-christian scientists are beginning to agree that the evelutionary theory has way to many holes and assumptions to be a viable answer to the question which brought forth Darwinistic concepts. No will many of them come out and state such.. no, their jobs are on the line.

    It's not evolutionary process in and of itself, but it is a core tenet of evolutionary theory.
