You should publish it."<BR/><BR/>It isn't a theory. It's fact. Ask any scientist. They will tell you the gas in any carbonated beverage (even beer!) is CO2. <BR/><BR/>Maybe you weren't yet born when Coke was opened with a bottle opener also known as a church key. When you pried the top off, it would make a popping sound from the release of the CO2. You could make it louder if you popped the top off fast. Nowadays it just makes a fizzing sound when you unscrew the top. That sound is Carbon Dioxide escaping from the bottle.<BR/><BR/>You see, Coca Cola is made with carbonated water. Look on the label of any carbonated beverage. That means it has CO2 in the water they use to make Coca Cola. That's what the term "carbonated" comes from. "Carbon" is the root word. Not a theory. Fact. Much more a fact than evolution.<BR/><BR/>And I did publish it. Right here. On my blog.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-38482604839970598252008-07-30T22:31:00.000-04:002008-07-30T22:31:00.000-04:00JIm, you have pronounced evolution to be scientifi...JIm, you have pronounced evolution to be scientific fact, but that isn't what evolution scientists say. Here is what some of evolution's greatest scholars say:<BR/><BR/>Professor Louis T. More, University of Cincinnati, said, "The more one studies the paleontological record, the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone."<BR/><BR/>D.M.S. Watson who held the position of the Chair of Evolution at the University of London for more than twenty years, made the observation that the theory of evolution itself is universally accepted, "not because it has been observed to occur or can be proved by logical coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible." <BR/><BR/>Sir Arthur Keith(1866-1955), a British anatomist and anthropologist who wrote 20 books in defense of evolution, said evolution is "unproved and unprovable". He also said, "We believe it because the only alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable."<BR/><BR/>Professor David Allbrook, Professor of Anatomy at the University of Western Australia, says that evolution is "a time-honored scientific tenet of faith."<BR/><BR/>Paul LeMoine, French evolutionist: "Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups."<BR/><BR/>Sir Julian Huxley, the grand nephew of Thomas Huxley, was in his day--probably the worlds most prestigious evolutionists, was being interviewed on a National Public Television station. He was asked, "Why do you suppose that so many scientists accepted evolution so quickly?"<BR/><BR/>This is what he replied: "I suppose the reason we leaped at The Origin Of the Species (Darwin's book)was because the idea of a God interfered with our sexual mores."<BR/><BR/> Thomas Huxley was Darwin's spokesman. It was he that engaged in debates on Darwin's behalf.<BR/><BR/>"It is clear," said Huxley, "that the doctrine of evolution is directly antagonistic to that of creation. Evolution, if consistently accepted, makes it impossible to believe in the Bible."<BR/><BR/>So there you have it, Jim. You must be more learned and better educated than the finest minds in the field. I wonder why you aren't internationally famous since you seem to have all the answers. Answers that even the evolutionists themselves don't claim to have.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-71834491548456908122008-07-30T12:18:00.000-04:002008-07-30T12:18:00.000-04:00Explain Gore's quote about carbon on Meet the Pres...Explain Gore's quote about carbon on <I>Meet the Press</I>, Jim. <BR/><BR/>Did HE fail to communicate his message?<BR/><BR/><I>I don't claim to be perfect, and all of us who care about this issue are, are trying to do our part, but I, I will say this.

One of us must be confused by the meaning of the latin.<BR/><BR/>Mary, sorry but there is simply nowhere to go with you if you think that Gore is advocating the elimination of carbon.<BR/><BR/>Rick, think what you will about evolution but I believe that evolution is God's continuing method of creation. You may think it's chaos, but I think it's beautiful logic.<BR/><BR/>lone ranger, perhaps you should acquaint yourself with the meaning of the word "theory." Contrary to what you may think, "theory" does not mean "guess". Did you not take science in school? In science "theory" means:<BR/><BR/>A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of <B>facts</B> or phenomena, especially one that has been <B>repeatedly tested</B> or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.<BR/><BR/>Blamin, scientists have not failed to prove evolution. They have observed it over and over again. See above where it says, "widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena."<BR/><BR/>And again Mark, despite your protestations, I have attacked no one despite being attacked. I have repeatedly shown that I can think for myself. The fact that I can cite history, science, and the educated to support what I believe is what makes me different from you. It's not a liberal thang.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004209843701697773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-22416554440367930072008-07-28T18:59:00.000-04:002008-07-28T18:59:00.000-04:00There he goes again!

"Goracle'...Adherents to the teachings of Al Gore... "Goracle's"? Cute, but not good enough. I submit, <BR/>"Allegories" <BR/><BR/>"Homo-Ignoramus" Good one, Abouna... from the intro to Immanuel Velikovsky's <I>Worlds in Collision</I>:<BR/><BR/><I>"In an immense universe a little globe revolves around a star; it is the third in a row-- Mercury, Venus, Earth --of the planetary family. It is of a solid core covered over most of its surface with liquid, and it has a gaseous envelope. Living creatures fill the liquid; other living creatures fly in the gas; and still others creep and walk upon the ground on the bottom of the gaseous ocean. Man, a being of erect stature, thinks himself the prince of creation. He felt like this long before he, by his own efforts, came to know how to fly on wings of metal around the globe. He felt godlike long before he could talk to his fellow-man on the other side of the globe. Today he can see the microcosm in a drop and the elements in the stars. He knows the laws governing the living cell with its chromosomes, and the laws governing the macrocosm of the sun, moon, planets, and stars. He assumes that gravitation keeps the planetary system together, man and beast on their planet, the sea within its borders. For millions and millions of years, he maintains, the planets have rolled along on the same paths, and their moons around them, and man in these eons has arisen from a one-cell infusorium all the long way up the ladder to his status of Homo sapiens.<BR/> <BR/>"Is man's knowledge now nearly complete? Are only a few more steps necessary to conquer the universe: to extract the energy of the atom-- since these pages were written this has already been done --to cure cancer, to control genetics, to communicate with other planets and learn if they have living creatures, too?<BR/> <BR/>"Here begins Homo ignoramus. He does not know what life is or how it came to be and whether it originated from inorganic matter. He does not know whether other planets of this sun or of other suns have life on them, and if they have, whether the forms of life there are like those around us, ourselves included. He does not know how this solar system came into being, although he has built up a few hypotheses about it. He knows only that the solar system was constructed billions of years ago. He does not know what this mysterious force of gravitation is that holds him and his fellow man on the other side of the planet with their feet on the ground, although he regards the phenomenon itself as "the law of laws."<BR/> <BR/>"Although man knows that he has lived on this planet for millions of years, he finds a recorded history of only a few thousand years. And even these few thousand years are not sufficiently known."</I><BR/><BR/><BR/>I love that... "Here begins Homo ignoramus." Another way of saying, "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."<BR/><BR/>In regard to those who fall for Gores ignorant prattle... his "Allegories"... they are of a kind; the kind that never learn.<BR/><BR/>I like Proverbs 26:11...
