You challenged Alan on abiogenesis in response to his arguments
regarding the motion of the Earth. A bit off topic don't you think. If
you want to discuss evolution start a new thread and see who's interested.

You are the one doing all the arm waving. You keep throwing every doubt
you have about accepted theories at us without any actual critique of
the theories except that they don't agree with your faith. Any attempt
to address specific points is met by you with yet more vagueness and arm
waving.

Of course scientists are only human. I have never attacked Neville for
questioning science, only for deciding what his conclusions are and then
"deriving them scientifically", throwing out the most basic assumptions
of geometry without any justification or alternative assumptions, and
using theories previously rejected by himself in support of his other
theories. He may "know" the answers because of his faith but his
approach is not scientific.

If I have caused you any offense I am sincerely sorry. Being a devout
atheist (yes I know that theorectically it is just an article of faith
too) I find it difficult to have discussions with creationists without
it descending into ever more pointless and heated exchanges. I came to
this forum because its purpose seemed to be to discuss scientific
evidence for geocentricity. I'll try to stick to science if you do.
Regards,
Mike.
