  2002 Lord of the Rings Lego line?
 
Is it just me? I just cant seem to get excited over the imminent Harry Potter line. O.k I have only read 50 pages of the first book, but it all seemed to be based in a modern day town environment with characters who wouldn't translate well into (...)

  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) And here's a couple of late-breaking stories which seem to contradict the idea of a "young world": (URL) I havent investigated these at all... (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Apples and oranges
 
(...) Of course the immediate question I raise about his research is what is the transmission spectra for carbon?... Still the article has a very good point. There are plenty of ways you can compare apples and organges on. (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Problems with Darwin's theory
 
(...) Just a note: Trilobites as a group aren't gone after the Devonian. They take a major hit in the Devonian extinctions, but have a minor comeback, surviving until the Permian. However, that means it's a great example of evolution, extinction, (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Problems with Darwin's theory
 
(...) What have I denied or claimed inapplicable? I've been presented only with some specialized snippets which I've ignored because they're based upon more foundational things which I'm asking for evidence about. Why is it (seemingly) such a (...)

  Re: Problems with Darwin's theory
 
(...) For the 39th time. The fossil record seems to indicate that species appear, then disappear. Take trilobites, for example. Older ones are not as specially diverse as later ones. But after the Devonian extinction, they're all gone. Where did (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) So therefore chromosomal change never happens? Is that the point? (...) Maybe. Seals seem to do okay though. (...) Could be an okay fin and a really ordinary leg first. Ever heard of lungfish?

  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) Welcome back Tim. Would you mind having a look at an earlier post of mine, questioning your basic assumptions? (URL) rather than getting bogged down again (in different interpretations of observed phenomena), could we examine the premises of (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Problems with Darwin's theory
 
(...) Good point - Lack of common definitions is often a problem with these types of discussions. I'll admit right away that I'm not the one to do the defining - I chose Physics over Biology. Archeology isn't my area either, which is part of why I'm (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Apples and oranges
 
Hmmm ... I wonder if he really followed through there. What he did was compare the transmission spectra of the resulting dried products. Now what does he get if he does a nutrition test on the apple and the orange? :-) -- Cheers ... Geoffrey Hyde (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: Problems with Darwin's theory
 
(...) I haven't been there in a couple of decades, so I don't know what the policy is now. Certainly in the past you could collect them - it would be hard to enforce much in the middle of nowhere (don't take your low-slung sports car). Finding (...)

  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) I'm neither into biochemistry or microbiology, so I have no great opinion on the matter. Or were you refering to evolution in general? (...) Look at your statements: they don't say that anything is impossible - simply put, they do not argue (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) I'd just like to clarify that I never said that at all, but you rather assumed that's what I meant. I did say "interestingly enough". Just one response to this message (see my reply to Ross's message for why I didn't respond to the others) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) Thank you Ross. This citation is the most direct refutation you could have found :)...and since I don't have any counter-refutations myself, I'm not going to argue it :) Please note that this does not, however, mean that I believe it or admit (...)

  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) I can't say as I've actually pondered those particular facts personally....but you sure do have some good points! (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Problems with Darwin's theory
 
(...) I think the main point here is that while some things can be objectively stated, their implications may be subject to historical context. For example, say 100 years from now, it would be true to say that Elizabeth II and Henry VIII were both (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Support for a 'young' earth.
 
(...) Well it's nice that you bring that up....what is it about evolution that you DO believe exactly? (...) Jeepers Bruce! At least Ross showed me where I could find counter-arguments! Not only do you not cite a source you just throw a couple (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
