Is Gravity the next "theory" to be attacked?

[dannybin1742]

Extrapolating from this scenario, we arrive at the conclusion that the magnetic field reversal is all part of the Intelligent Designer's plan. Indeed, so-called "scientific" estimates have failed to predict another reversal. The Science-agenda advocates would have you believe that such reversals occur every 200,000 years, however in the same breath they also claim it has been over 780,000 years since the previous one. It is apparent that these scientists are simply making excuses for their flawed theories. Indeed, as we all know the Earth is only about 6,000 years old so the very notion of a 200,000 year cycle is absurd! My Intelligent Spinner theory predicts that the magnetic poles has (and will) weaken and eventually flip whenever the Intelligent Designer deems the time is right.

as with all events in nature, randomness and probability govern everything

biologists should be honest with their students in presenting the theory of evolution, reminding them its just that, a theory. nothing more, nothing less. it is also a theory that has every right to be challenged by other reputable biologists.

You are using the common understanding of the word, theory, not the scientific definition:

the·o·ry

n. pl. the·o·ries

1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

It takes only one demonstrable contradiction to disprove a theory.

Got one to disprove evolution? :Q Neither does anyone else.

Can you say the same for ID?

incidentally, newton did believe God to be the creator and sustainer of all things, and the principle of gravity being one of his designs for created order. snicker all you want, he's just isaac newton, the father of physics. and beliving in ID doesn't make you a Republican, or a moron for that matter. Heck, it doesn't even make you a Christian.

Actually, you forget that Newton also lived BEFORE Wilson and Cricks discovered DNA, before Mendelson learned about chromosones and heredity, and even before Darwin wrote "The Descent of Man". Basically, quoting Newton on genetics or evolution is like quoting a caveman on lightning - the human race did not know the underlying science of biology in his day any more than a cavemen knew about electrical potential. But in the same way that a cave man (or Homo Erectus to be correct) knew how to fashion stone axes, Newton was around when we were actually figuring out macro-physics. But to figure out biology took another few hundred years...

Such quality posters...

Rather than add anything to the post by either agreeing or disagreeing, you choose to flame the posters.

That, sir, makes you the lowest quality poster.

Oh, the irony in your post...

Eeezee is providing imo genuinely interesting meta-commentary on alchemize's post, and in that way is in fact adding to the post/ thread, rather than merely flaming the poster.

LOL, great analogy. I'm going to plagiarize it.

I have top secret insider information from the religious right. Gravity is indeed the next "theory" to be attacked, followed closely by attacks on the "theories" of electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

Science is blasphemy. They are putting us on the road back to pagan festivals every year on the first day the Sun reverses it's decline toward the Southern horizon.


*edit*

Or Northern horizon if you live South of the Equator.

Stupid RepubliTALIBAN morons with their whacked out theories

Of course we only stick to the Earth because God wants us to. Any moron knows that

Astaroth33... great post! I love that article.

This is the typical Left Wing Elitist thinking process:

You make a legitimate point, but I must admit I consider "Intelligent" Design, and its proponents, as morons with a particularly silly agenda.

Anyone that doesnt think like you is ignorant?

What is your theory on how life started?

A very large inter-galactic bird shat upon Earth and fertilized all life as we know it.

Prove that I'm wrong.

^ Why the rest of the world, except the Mid East theocracies, laughs at us.

Ignorant? That's ironic, considering ID is for zealots who don't believe in science. Sorry, I studied science my whole life, I'll stick with evidence and facts. You can stick with children's fable and call everyone else ignorant and elitist, but your the man who believes a con artist that looks into seer stones dug up a new bible in his backyard and then had to add parts about celestial wives to make his love for underage girls legit. Who's ignorant?

Wrong. It was a unicorn.

Come on now, everyone here at least at one point in time has considered the law or theory of gravity, however you want to put it, to be complete crap. It typically happens the day after thanksgiving when you get on the scale and look down and say, "Damn, that sucks," or "Damn, gravity must be off today."

Being serious though, I'm trying to understand this whole "ID" thing. Ok, so I believe in God, but I believe that God is the ultimate scientist. I think as our understanding of science increases, it begins to explain a lot of how God did what he did, or what "I" believe he did. However, would that mean that I believe in "ID"? It seems to me that ID is trying to eliminate science all together from the belief in God, which I think is crap. So for all of you who seem to know so much about ID, could you answer that for me, or send me a good link for ID? From what I'm reading, it sounds like a pretty pathetic idea, and that's coming from someone that believes in God.

Just my opinion though.

I always thought ID was the belief that God "set things in motion." ie: God created all the "stuff" that was necessary for us to become what we are today. To me that just sounds like God inventing evolution. If that's the case, why can't those that believe in ID accept evolution as just being another one of the "mysterious ways" in which God works?

Sounds logical to me. I'm not sure I believe evolution happened exactly how we think it did, but I have no problem believe that things like the big bang and evolution weren't tools that God used to create everything. But then, I don't take the Bibles interpretation of the creation period taking 6 "days" literally. The hebrew word that was translated into day also means era, period, or age. Could have been any of them. So like I said, I really don't understand what ID is apparently trying to do by separating God and science.
