Questions for "Evolutionists"
Questions for Evolutionists, whatever an evolutionist is, from Mr Kent Hovind. I'll just go and find a biologist to tackle his attempt at disproving evolution by natural selection.
Oh wait hang on...
1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
That sounds like a cosmology question Kent. The universe doesn't displace anything, and as such requires no space. The universe creates its own space, which it is still doing at an increasing rate even today.
2. Where did matter come from?
The matter condensed out of the energy of the Big Bang, after inflation the matter in the universe was a mix of quarks and gluons. At 1.0 × 10-6 seconds after the Big Bang they formed protons and neutrons.
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
The laws of nature are inherit to the universe, they were created at the Big Bang.
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
I don't accept the premise that matter is perfectly organised.
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
Actually it was the energy of the Big Bang that kept atoms from forming, the temperature and density of the universe had to decrease before quarks and gluons could form baryons (protons and neutrons). They were literally too energetic whizzing around too fast for the nuclear forces to have any impact.
More of his silly questions to come at a later date, maybe he could get onto biology.

I would think you would write a good article about Ben Stine's new documentary Expelled. http://www.expelledthemovie.com
1. The earth must be older than 6000 years because 6000 years is not long enough to contain all of the known human history. 6000 years ago was the middle stone age. People had existed for a lot longer than that and we have cave paintings and other archaeology to prove it.
2. If the dinosaurs were wiped out by a world wide flood and humans and dinosaurs coexisted why are there no fossilised people, just fossilised dinosaurs? Why are there no fossilised mammals in the same strata as the dinosaurs? The answer is that the different types of animal lived at different times. Dinosaurs came first, then mammals and then man, long after the dinosaurs were fossilised.
It's like trying to teach a blind person the colors of a rainbow.
Also, Ben Stein's new movie is probably one of the lamest attempts the ID crowd has come up with. Check it out:

Counter question to creationists; where did your creator come from? Who created her? In your answer, please address the issue of Infinite Regress.
Infinite regress, no problem, the universe had no beginning, how can something exist without a universe for it to exist in?
Evolution doesn't even have anything to do with cosmology.
Do you honestly consider that textbook answer science? If yes, you need to look long and deep at what you consider valid science.
"Hey, I used ACT words... you can't doubt my science now." Snarf.
disagree, Our world does has laws and order and scientifically speaking you cannot get life from non-life! and how bout a scientific law, "matter cannot be creater or destroyed" You just went against science..
You can get life from non-life.
How do you think an atomic bomb works? The matter is converted into something else, energy. That same energy can also be converted into back into matter, the same way that matter first formed in the universe.
Been reading your creationist "science" books again by any chance?
