i am having second thoughts about posting this since i realized i'm ignoring both the domain AND one of my tags
Wow. The smug smile on all of their faces deserves a slap to knock the sense back into them.
Any creationists on Hubski? Taken from the comments: 1: Yes, just not in a way that this guy deems positive. 2: Implies Nye believes in a creator and has an emotion regarding it. 3: Implies that trees and humans were created. 4: Implies Earth is an isolated system (heat and radiation from Sun disproves it immediately) 5: Implies that the Sun only exists through God. 6: See Q4 7: What about them? 8: Implies life has a meaning. 9: Yes. 10: Good for her. Maybe she would like to elaborate. If not, I'm not going to hold it against her. 11: Implies all of us dismiss one myth while holding onto others. 12: False. More than one hominid has been found. Further, proof is not determined by the number of pieces of evidence, but by the strength of the pieces of evidence. Example: If there is only one winner of a lottery, does that mean that there was no lottery because we don't have hundreds of "official winners"? 13: Yes. Or more accurately, it doesn't disprove evolution. 14: You don't understand what a "theory" is. Gravity is also a theory. 15: See Q14 16: Down Syndrome. There are many others. Don't assume that an increase in genes equals an increase in evolutionary sustainability. 17: See Q8 18: False. See Q12 19: Yes. But it isn't so much "believing" as it is "knowing" and to label it a belief is a red herring. The energy created by the big bang is still observable today. The evidence is there that the big bang occurred. For example, the "glow" of light waves tell us that the universe is expanding. It is simple to reverse this expansion back to a singe point. 20: Beauty does not equal creation. For all the beauty in the world, there is also a lot of repulsion. Germs, diseases, famine, greed, crime. If a creator created all, it created the bad with the good. 21: The Big Bang was not an exploding star. 22: Does not understand evolution in the slightest. I came from my parents. Why do they still exist?
4. Also has the assumption that thermodynamic law applies to complexity some times seemingly higher ordered states have higher enthropy / lower energy I.e. crystaline vs amorphous organization. The answer really is a scream of not applicable and a sharp smack.
