So you did a cut and paste job. Because he did work for Dow and got patents has nothing to do with his stance on creationism. If he tried his creationist tactics at Dow where you try to destroy other people's work instead of doing his own to build up science, he would have been fired forthwith, here is the door you creationist assshole, goodbye.
No, he ...[text shortened]... called Encylopedia of Loons:

Originally posted by FreakyKBHTrue, but since that's never happened there's no reason to suppose there are any supernatural forces.
The laws of nature as we describe them are predictable and falsifiable.
If the world suddenly stopped turning on its axis without any measurable influence, there isn't a scientist on the face of the planet who wouldn't claim supernatural forces were at play.

Its called a volcano, and it is natural. Also, being 'natural' has nothing whatsoever to do with the frequency of its occurrence. If that were the case, the first computer would have been declared supernatural.
MY QUESTION:
How often do we hear of fire and brimstone destroying cities?
YOUR ANSWER:
Its called a volcano, and it is natural.
MY RESPONSE:
A volcano produces lava. Chemically lava is made of the elements silicon, oxygen, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and titanium (plus other elements in very small concentrations.

Brimstone is an alternative name for sulfur.

Brimstone is an alternative name for sulfur.
English translations of the Bible commonly referred to burning sulfur as "brimstone", giving rise to the name of 'fire-and-brimstone' sermons, in which listeners are reminded of the fate of eternal damnation that await the unbelieving and unrepentant. It is from this part of the Bible that Hell is implied to "smell of sulfur" (likely due to its association with volcanic activity).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_gas#Non-explosive_volcanic_gas_release
At sites of advective gas loss, precipitation of sulfur and rare salts forms sulfur deposits and small sulfur chimneys, called fumaroles.
Notice the links between sulfur, volcanoes and pillars of salts?
Also
Genesis 19:28
28 and he looked down toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the valley, and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land ascended like the smoke of a furnace.
Clearly, Genesis is referring to volcanic activity. Not something supernatural. Its just that whenever there is a natural disaster there is some fool who thinks he can blame it on the immorality of the people and claim God is punishing them. It was true when Genesis was written, it is true today.
Its not much different from the lies parents tell their kids to try and get them to behave: look, if you don't stop all that gay sex then the volcanoes will get you, see, it happened to Sodom and Gomorrah!
PS: I don't watch youtubes posted without explanation, and probably still wouldn't watch anything linked to by you even with an explanation.

Originally posted by RJHindsGee, here we go again, fish into men. Apes into men.
What do you know about fairy tales. You can't even tell that a fish or ape evolving into a man is a fairy tale. You think that nonsense is proven fact by science, ha!
😏
Why do you debase yourself with such specious arguments that NO evolutionist claims?
Oh yeah, because in your demented self lobotomized paranoid tenth century young Earth creationist mind you think that is going to somehow win over people to your side.
So where are they?
I don't hear people beating down your door to hear your 'wisdom'.
Originally posted by sonhouseI must have convinced you, for you appear to no longer believe in the theory of evolution or EVILution.

The common ancestors turn into men over millions of years of evolution, the great great grandfather of all modern apes and man included coming from a multi million year old lineage.
You will never believe any of that, of course. That does not make it false, it just makes you look crazy as a loon, a pathetic throwback to the tenth century.

Most of all Noah's Ark. Built by a man or men.
Supernatural to me would be more like the finger writing on the wall. Or the experiences of Elijiah.

If the survival of 8 people and many animals from a worldwide flood is not a miracle and evidence of the supernatural hand of God to you, then you can scratch that one. However, I still think it is.
