| | + | ==Advice to Young Earth Creationists== |
| | + | You've got your YEC box in my article (Homo Neanderhalensis, without the sapiens), don't you prefer it's clear presentation of creationist objections over the usual chaotic torrent of out-of-context quotes, unsound "facts" and numerous AiG links that make up most YEC sections on this site? |
| | + | You yourself linked to Dr. John Hartnett once, who actually has a Ph. D (I still think he's nutts though), don't you understand that that single link, has, to me (and other "evolutionists"), far more value than all the quotes and AiG links in the [[Dinosaur]] article combined? |
| | + | |
| | + | Just look at the Dinosaur article, it's a complete mess composed of contradicting sections and contradictions within sections, out-of-context-quotes, and the kind of "scientific facts" that any college freshman can debunk on a spare afternoon. |
| | + | And in the end the article reads like a debate and doesn't really tell the reader anything about actual dinosaurs. |
| | + | That's what I meant by "go vandalize the Dinosaur article". |
| | + | |
| | + | If you're going to add YEC stuff, then keep it separated from the rest of the article (don't make one sentence contradict the next one), don't use quotes (no scientist uses quotes), and only add points which have a reasonable chance of surviving the debunk attempts of a college freshman, you have to know what you're talking about before posting it, if necessary, do some research on the math or the science behind it. |
| | + | |
| | + | Don't question every scientific theory down to the very laws of physics, and don't say every theory is just a theory (you trust science when you fly on an airplane, use GPS, watch tv, and you trust scientist's calculations regarding the highly explosive chemical processes that take place under the hood of your car, don't you?) |
| | + | |
| | + | And if you're going to question a scientific theory then be consistent, meaning you can't use other science, related to that theory, somewhere else: |
| | + | |
| | + | - if you question carbon half lives, you also question |
| | + | nuclear physic, meaning you question nuclear power, and A-bombs as well, and even question highschool chemistry. |
| | + | |
| | + | - if you question the value of the speed of light, you question relativity and thus you can't trust your GPS system either, you'd also question quantum mechanics. |
| | + | |
| | + | Finally, try to link to non-creationist websites and accredited scientists (like John Hartnett, for example), and never, ever use the Bible as a reference: if your theories are correct you should be able to find evidence outside of the Bible. |
| | + | |
| | + | Then, maybe YECs won't be ridiculed all the time... |
