Science, Creation & EvolutionAge of the EarthYou say you are a physician. I assume then that you know enough about genetics to know that some very pronounced variations are possible within a generation or two. In fact there is more variation WITHIN the 'races' than between them! Original populations had enough genetic potential for a lot of variation. That variation is what we see the results of today. Most of the potential has been eliminated due to good old natural selection. Even so, look what a little genetic selection has done where dogs are concerned in just a few hundred years! If you saw the fossils of a chihuahua and a Great Dane or St. Bernard, would you suspect they were the same SPECIES? I doubt it.... Polar ice cap strata record storm surges. We associate these with annual events now. That may well be an erroneous assumption considering the geological record of catastrophes in the past.... Reefs have also demonstrated an ability to form extremely quickly in a short time in unusual circumstances. The geological record confirms that there have been unusual circumstances in the earth's past. As far as the speed of light goes, the data is there. So is the data for atomic mass changing and Planck's constant changing. You can ignore it or you can deal with it. The honest thing to do is take a good hard look at it. CIPA is doing just that: http://www.calphysics.org/ It's not just a "Setterfield thing." There are physicists all around the world who are examining the implications of these changing 'constants'. However if, as Setterfield has shown, the speed of light follows the same curve as the redshift, then the universe is very young indeed. It is probably better to read outside your own field of medicine in order to critique physics, however. I do agree with you that there is shoddy science on both sides of the evolution question. However I do know that with Setterfield he was an old-ager until sometime in his thirties when he could no longer avoid where the evidence was leading. He went at the thing data first, unlike most scientists in any field anywhere. Before you ignore his work, you ought to take a look at it. http://www.setterfield.org/ As far as someone 'going off the deep end', what about an engineer who was laughed out of every presentation he tried to make regarding a geological phenomenon and died without a shred of the recognition he gets today. You see, Wegener was right -- the earth's crust is divided up into shifting plates. Plate tectonics was laughed out of presentation after presentation, however, because a simple engineer was presenting the concept. After all, what would he know??? Nor is that an old story. It happened in my lifetime. |
