The Fossils are Shrinking!
Charley writes:
When you look at the fossil sizes in the fossil record you find some excessive size insects, in fact all the fossils were once much bigger than today Why? One answer creationists give is water vapor existed above the atmosphere pressing down on the atmosphere allowing insects to grow much larger.
The fossils are decreasing in size over time! Has anyone called the natural history museums?
I think you mean that creatures in the past were larger than today.
Has anyone informed those Blue Whales Kuresu brought up?
Actually, even if confined to just dinosaurs, there were many small examples, they just don't sell movies as well as the larger ones.
Do you have evidence that the one-celled creatures that make up the majority of life then and now were larger in the past?

Solar Non-Energy
Charley writes:
Given ultra-violet radiation passes thru water vapor on the sunny side of the earth this super cooled water vapor is not reheated on the sunny side of the earth.
Of course the rest of the electromagnetic spectrum, all that energy from the sun other than ultraviolet, had no effect on this purported vapor canopy.
Physics 101 anyone?
It not only covers light, it also covers gravity. You should give it some unbiased attention someday.

Light Things Float and Heavy Things Sink
Repeat this mantra until it sinks in:
Light things float and heavy things sink.
It's called simple physics.
Water vapor above the atmosphere is not a liquid so the creationists belief in a water vapor canopy is not unscientific.
the upper reaches of the atmosphere contain very little water vapor because:
Light things float and heavy things sink.
The water vapor can't be "above space."
Atmospheric pressures would have helped drive this subduction from the trenches to the mid-ocean ridges if the plates crushed not slipped under the continent masses.
Atmospheric pressure does not move solid rock around like billard balls or push it down into denser rock. Why?
Because light things float and heavy things sink.
If the mantle is being sucked inward then its not only the old crust being pushed into the earth.
And what is under the mantle being "sucked in?" heavier mantle. So the crust and especially mantle cant be sucked in under heavier (denser) mantle by gravity to any overall significant degree without being reguritated back up. Why?
Because light things float and heavy things sink.
Every volcano is testimony to what happens due to subduction. It says:
Light things float and heavy things sink.
Keep repeating.

Re: Canopy Question
Buzsaw writes:
How about this? If a canopy were originally created over the universe at the time of creation, would it not have been arranged in an unknown manner?
A lot of advances have been made in science since the days of Ptolemy.
How could a "vapor canopy" be above the universe? What is above or below the universe anyway, some flat Earth? Please elaborate.
My impression is the way you speak of the universe indicates a primitive understanding not seen since the Dark Ages. Please visit a library so you can see how much larger the real universe is than your apparent concept.
