Poynting-Robertson Effect |
|
|
| 160 |
The sun acts as a giant
vacuum sweeping up about 100,000 tons of inflow per day. The sun's
radiation pressure serves to push small interplanetary dust particles
outward into space. If the solar system is really billions of years old,
the solar system should have been swept clean by now - yet there are
billions of particles in our solar system. |
As far as I can judge (and I'm
not an astronomer or planetary scientist) another irrelevant red herring. |

18. Magnetic Field |
|
|
| 161 |
Over the past 150 years,
careful measurement by scientists have shown that the earth's magnetic
field decreases by half every 1400 years. |
Untrue - they show that
it fluctuates. This is shown by the changes in magnetic field direction
'frozen' in the ocean floor on either side of the mid-ocean ridges: good
supporting evidence for plate tectonics. |
FALSE |
| 162 |
Extrapolating backwards,
... |
irrelevant in that the premise
is flawed. |
irrelevant |
| 163 |
...it is shown that the
earth only 10-12,000 years ago would have been a magnetic star, ... |
This is incomprehensible
- a magnetic star? What's that? |
incomprehensible |
| 164 |
...totally incapable of
supporting any life - even the most simple. |
Incomprehensible again -
why? |

19. Super Novas |
|
|
| 165 |
When stars run out of
gas they explode. During the course of the life of the galaxy there
should be a number of super nova remnants visible from earth.
Accordingly, for galaxies this size, there should be 7,250 super nova
remnants visible using the evolution model. In reality, there are only
205 - very much in line with the creation model. |
What creation model? As I understand
it, this is based on a poor scientific method. However, I am not an astronomer,
so I have to rely on other sources. |

20. The Human Eye |
|
|
| 166 |
Darwin said that the
human eye made him shudder in terms of the evolutionary process - and
rightly so. |
Which is why he addressed a
portion of his book to addressing the problem. |
misleading |
| 167 |
In his day almost
nothing was known about the complexity and sophistication of this organ.
In fact, we still don't know everything. It is able to do 100,000
separate functions each and every day, then while you sleep, do its own
maintenance work. |
So what? |
irrelevant |
| 168 |
Truly one of the wonders
of GOD. |
Unsupported statement. |
irrelevant |
| 169 |
Considering the amount
of complex structures that went into the eye, as well as the highly
integrated synchronization, it is difficult to understand how the
evolutionists can believe the eye came from a natural trial and error
process. |
I suggest you read some
of the literature. The eye is an excellent example of an evolutionary
succession in which each small steps confers adaptive advantage, and is
illustrated by a wide range of eyes in extant species. |
FALSE |
| 170 |
The eye is well known to
be useless unless fully developed. |
Simply untrue. Many
intermediate forms exist in nature which provide adaptive benefit to
their owner. |
FALSE |
| 171 |
It is ridiculous to
think that any organism could live, let alone develop, during the
thousands of years evolutionists say it would take to develop an eye.
|
An unsupported assertion. |
irrelevant |
| 172 |
That's not all, however.
The eye did not develop once. There are five different types of eyes
(that we know of) - man's, squids, vertebrates, arthropods, and
trilobite eyes. |
Which supports the evolutionary
model, especially as the squid eye is superior to the tetrapod eye. |

21. Sea Slugs |
|
|
| 173 |
The sea slug is an truly
impressive design that can be used to show evolution false. Sea slugs
feed on the sea anemone. What makes this so impressive is that the
anemones have poison harpoons that stick out and would paralyze anything
that came in contact with it. The sea slug however, is able to put these
darts inside its own stomach to store and use for its own defense. You
would have to have all of these abilities from the start or the organism
would die the 1st time it came in contact with the dart. A slow
evolutionary process would have been deadly! |
A complete red herring.
Evolutionary explanations have no problem with this or other instances
of a similar nature. |
