I guess that's why you looooove creation science,

Such a shame we don't have better creationist debaters on this board. Did you guys scare them off?

Pantera

Ah yes, whatever happened to people like prionesse?

Snicker, snicker . . .

Ok. Just got here. I'm going to have to re-read that because this is the first time I've read about this theory. Bear with me.

Pantera and Patrick - there's a Prionesse over on ICR's forum, under "Transitional Fossils." Look fast, though - she claims to be an evo. They'll Stalinize her completely if they see that.

Morpho - Very nicely done solar system! Your daughter will be very well educated by the time she gets to college.

She is an evolutionist (MalignantPrion, aka Prionesse). But she did a fine job trolling as a creationist several months back. Personally, I like the real Prionesse much better than the troll Prionesse

Me ... a troll?



The devil's advocating was fun, although you'll have to excuse my tendencies as a paleoanthropology freak . I forget who I argued with, actually, was it with Patrick? &lt;&lt;can't remember&gt;&gt; I first became acutely interested in the Australopithecus-Homo transition while debating with a creationist named PJ on the ARN board. If arguing as a creationist, I would lump H. habilis/rudolfensis along with the australopithecines and claim that they constitute apes, citing all the apelike morphologies I could dig out and the Wood & Collard 1999 Science paper.

Thanks Coragyps. I know it's pretty simplistic, and leaves out a lot of unnecessary details (like formation of binary stars, brown dwarfs, etc), but those guys are all the same process. I'm hoping my daughters are educated before they get to high school. IMO that's where most kids get daim bramaged, at least in science. Before that, most kids absorb stuff like a sponge and keep coming back for more. No problems about what's "cool" and what isn't.

Heh. I'm your regular high school freak, and my favorite subject is Physics,

Morpho,

Very good post.

Except I think you mean centripetal force and not centrifugal force.
