EKnight:
My husband and I watched the Ben Stein movie "Expelled" about creationism vs. Darwinism.  Then he came across this article which references this guy Dawkins who is a hard core proponent of Darwinism and an atheist.  Anyway, thought some of you might be interested in reading the article.

Hi Eileen,

Darwin's theory of evolution has been thoroughly debunked by the over 80,000 fossils found at the Burgess Pass in the Canadian Rockies in 1909 by Charles D. Walcott. All the evidence was hidden for 80 years until 1989 and is available for anyone who cares to get the truth out.

Here is a link: http://www.geo.ucalgary.ca/~macrae/Burgess_Shale/ to help you with getting the correct information. You may have to do a little bit of reading but you will be properly armed after that, better yet Google it.

theory is just that
Theory
THE'ORY, n. [L. theoria; Gr. to see or contemplate.]

1. Speculation; a doctrine or scheme of things, which terminates in speculation or contemplation, without a view to practice. It is here taken in an unfavorable sense, as implying something visionary.

Hi Kenny,

That is not necessarily so, all good scientific discovery has to have a workable theory. The theory of Relativity for example is now known as a law of relativity, time dilation was a theory until it could be proven in fact. Sorry but many dictionaries are as out of date as the flat earthers are today.

what does e=mc2 stand for?

The energy contained with in an object of mass "m" is equal to that mass times the speed of light, squared.

Or Energy = mass X speed of light X speed of light

Einstein surprised the scientific world with this equation showing the equivalence of mass and energy. Because the speed of light is such a large number (299 792 458 m / s), much larger when it is squared (8.98755179 × 10^16 m^2/s^2), a very small amount of mass can yield a huge amount of energy. This is why nuclear reactions are so efficient - just a small amount of fissile material can power a city (or blow it up).

It wasn't until 37 years after Einstein first published this equation that it was shown experimentally. On December 2, 1942, man first initiated a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction, and controlled it.

In 2005, the centennial of Einstein’s great year, a team made the most accurate test yet of his equation. They measured the tiny change in mass of radioactive atoms before and after the atoms emitted gamma-rays. And they measured the energy of the rays. The missing mass times c² equalled the energy of the rays to within 4 hundred-thousandths of one percent.)
