Moon hoax, stars, shadows, murders and nonsense

I was flicking through the channels the other day, and I ended up on Sci-Fi. Boy have they really gone downhill. What are they doing showing Moon Hoax stuff? Oh wait, science-fiction. I just caught the end of the program and four claims it made of the Moon landings being fake. 1) No stars in the photographs. Well, ask any photographer and he or she will be able to answer that one....

Creationists and alien life

This is an interesting little snippet I've harvested from the Daily Creationism. Most thinking people will agree that: 1) A highly ordered universe exists. Highly ordered compared to what? It's true that the universe is governed by the laws of nature, but how could we know of an alternative. 2) At least one planet (probably only one) (earth) in this complex universe contains an amazing variety of life forms. Earth is probably the only planet with life on in the whole universe?...

Creationist Big Bang straw man

It looks like the comrade over at The Daily Creationism is back at it again. This time talking about the Big Bang (again). The Big Bang is a Big Dud Interesting factoid: The name Big Bang is actually not what the scientists who proposed the hypothesis called it, Big Bang was the what those opposed to it called it. Big Bang referring to how silly an idea it was. The Big Bang was not a Big Bang in space, more of a Big Expansion of space....

The Earth is older than 6000 years

Hi, I'm a woolly mammoth. Me and my kind were mooping around on Earth for about 1.5 million years, my ancestors originally came from Africa but over 6 million years or so we spread out quite a bit. It was pretty cold up north and the poor mammoths that weren't as woolly died out and soon we were all woolly. We died out completely around 10000 years ago, we know this because you guys haven't found any of my kind younger than that....

Creationist anti-science

The Daily Creationism: Q: Why do creationists fight against science? A: That question has me confused. It wouldn't be the first time. Most major branches of science were started by creationists. Care to back that up with evidence? 2 million years ago on the planes of Africa. A child looked up at the sky. What would of been his or her thought when looking upon a star....? What is that? Or that was made by god....

Creationists and more words

The Daily Creationism guy: If evolution and the big bang is true then that meant that all of the matter in the universe was squished in to a dot no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. That is one crowded dot! Then boys and girls the dot span faster and faster and faster and faster until bang the dot exploded and formed the whole universe. Billions of years ago there was a big bang in space....

Creationists and words bad combination

The Daily Creationism: According to the evolutionary theory, comets are supposed to be the same age as the solar system, which is said to be about 5 billion years old. But each time a comet orbits close to the sun, it loses so mush of its material that it could not survive much longer 100,000 years. 1) Evolution deals with the origin of species, not comets. 2) The amount of time a comet survives depends on two things, a) the mass and composition of the comet b) the orbit of the comet....

Creationists and cosmology bad combination

The Daily Creationism: Galaxies wind themselves up to fast Stars rotate about the galactic center with different speeds. The inner stars rotate faster then the outer ones. The rotation speeds are so fast the if our galaxy were more than a few hundred million years old then it would not be in its present spiral shape. But our galaxy is supposed to be at least ten billion years old. Evolutionists call this the winding up dilemma...

Why creationism is wrong and evolution is right

An excellent hour long lecture on evidence supporting evolution carried out by Professor Steve Jones. Science is about disbelief. It accepts that all knowledge is provisional and that any theory might in principle be disproved. Some theories are better established than others: the earth is probably not flat, babies are almost certainly not brought by storks, and men and dinosaurs are unlikely to have appeared on earth within the past few thousand years....

Astrology - more ammo

Well Wester doesn't seem to want to budge. Wow, what a heap of anti-fanboy science desperate crap. Well if that's his counter argument may be I've already won. Bad Astronomy has a very good article up on astrology, way better then mine. I'll quote some sections to further reinforce the one I write last night, I covered a lot of the actual science behind it, but only had a paragraph on things they actually predict and say regardless....
