    The Big Bang: Why is it still being taught?

    The pictures and data provided by spacecraft on Mercury explorations have surprised scientists. A small planet like Mercury was predicted not to have a magnetic field prior to the first spacecraft visit in 1975 by scientists as calculations based on physics theory had predicted its demise...

    The Big Bang: Why is it still being taught?

    Rings rotating around a planet are an unstable system that change rapidly and decay in a short space of time. Significant differences have been seen in the appearance of Saturn's rings in the decades since the first spacecraft flew by Saturn and later spacecraft photographed the system. The...

    The Big Bang: Why is it still being taught?

    The planets and moons of our solar system have many features that suggest our solar system is young, not 4 billion years old. Titan has a thick atmosphere of nitrogen and methane. Calculations based on solar wind erosion of methane should have caused a complete collapse of the Titan atmosphere...

    Gillard v Rudd, Round 4

    It would be a foolish voter that would re-elect Labor again at the next election, so many people hate Rudd in the parliamentary party, that they will unseat him again at the first chance. They only put him there to save their seats in parliament and give themselves that chance to depose him. It...

    Succession ( NOT BLOODY SECESSION) question

    My understanding of the succession is that if Charles dies before Elizabeth then Andrew will become King at Elizabeths death, not William as the line thru Charles is only relevant if Charles becomes King.

    Ask an Evangelical IV

    The rich man had claimed that he had kept all the ten commandments. These include love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your mind etc. The rich man's reaction to Jesus request proved that this commandment was being disobeyed as his love for his money was greater than his love for God...

    Ask a Theologian IV

    I have known some people who have studied Jewish customs etc say that Jews went thru a 12 month engagement process which was expected to always lead to marriage and that the breaking of the engagement process required a divorce procedure. Therefore Matthews mention of divorce refers to the...

    Ask an Evangelical IV

    Absolutely true. However the flood covered the highest hills BEFORE the mountains of Ararat existed, and the Himalayas etc. The 40 days of rain was only a small proportion of the water which caused the flood. The early earth had massive reservoirs of underground water, geological upheaval caused...

    Ask an Evangelical IV

    The massive layers of sediments in which the fossils are buried can be best explained by a global flood which is recorded in the bible as Noah's flood. Usually life decays quickly when dead, only catastrophic events will result in fossils, and the burial order is determined by how quickly each...

    There's GOLD in them thar hills!

    Gold is an expensive metal to mine, it is always in pretty low concentrations in the ore, and therefore costs are high to refine it. Gold mines in Australia have gone bust from the high costs, so I cannot see how this could be a massive boon for Haiti unless gold prices soar a lot more, the high...

    Traffic light loops

    Where there is no turning arrow, 1 car only is allowed to enter the interesection and wait for space in oncoming traffic to complete the turn in Australia, often however several cars will do that. Amber does not mean accerelate in Australia because many intersections have associated speed...

    Did loose money regulations cause the Great Recession

    Although there were a lot of contributing issues to the crisis in US, a lot comes back to a lack of accountability for bad decisions. Banks could write bad loans and then securitize or insure the probable losses away. The people and institutions who make bad decisions in loans/investments etc...
