Let me tell you about the lions - many of our posters are either doctoral level in the sciences or have long-term hobby interests in scientific areas that means, that for our purposes, they are basically experts in the area.
(I am not accusing you of this).. Every so often someone will turn and start making statements like
quote:
how is the information transmitted?
how does something come from nothing?
It's a theory not a fact!
We've Found Noah's ark! (but then we lost it...)
We have a very high attrition rate for christians in the scientific forums*.
Why? Because many of those are so confused by the nonsense they find on creationist websites, they they repeat it parrot fashion with no real understanding of what they are saying. Generally most quickly disappear off to another site where the level of debate is not so high and so requiring.
* the forum is basically in two sections -
faith (where you don't have to present scientific evidence and the bible can be a "valid" source)
science (where the bible is generally not cited and good quality evidence is all).
