The whole missing link argument is a strawman argument that goes nowhere. In fact, every time I shave I see an intermediate form in the mirror. Darwin't theory says that every species is either going towards some other species (i.e. evolving, so is an intermediate), or going towards...

Creationists have, for the most part, accepted the difficulty in teaching their religious view of biology in public schools. Hence, the invention of "intelligent design" as a pseudoscientific offering of the same ideas, but without the banned religious dogma (wink, wink). This transparent...

You are right - many bacteria will survive freezing, but in a healthy marine tank there is enough bacterial competition going on that the chances of a bacterial infection are relativelylow. The bigger worry, imho, would be parasites or pests, most of which would be killed by freezing,

Copperbanded butterflies may eat aptasia, but your foxface also ihas been known to consume aptasia, but it isn't happening in your tank. Time of the aptasia-X, or just some kaklwasser injections. I accidentally found out a few weeks ago that a brief sudden drop in salinity also kills aptasia...

Scientists theorize there is an atom because it just makes sense to them that there is....something so tiny it can never actually be seen. The only evidence is looking at the creation around you. God is so big...he can't be seen either, the only evidence is looking at the creation around you...

So what is wrong with telling students that different religions believe in a supreme being who created all life and the scientific community has a theory that attempts to explain a natural creation to life and delve into it? There's nothing wrong with respecting religion. Nothing is wrong - in a...

To come back to the point, people in this country are free to believe whatever they want, and parents are, for the most part, also free to pass those beliefs to their children. However, when a child walks into a biology classroom, that child should be learning the science of biology, as it is...

Actually, radiocarbon dating is pretty reliable (plus/ minus a few hundred years or less) up to about 30,000 years before present. Since, with few exceptions, evolutionary events occur over millennial+ time spans, you are right - radiocarbon dating is not very useful to evolutionary biologists...

Quote: Originally Posted by Flower LOL...I agree all life came from one thing...God Almighty himself. Everything alive except insects and plants has red blood. From the sea-bugs (shrimp and crabs) to the grasshopper. So there is no way that all life came from a single source of DNA as...

I store filter material in the sump of my DT. When I need the qt I just put this filter material into a hob filter on the qt and it is instantly in a state of "cycled".

Thx Geridoc... That's very helpful. Per bubblegurl post did you cycle QT? Do you alway have it going or only fire it up when you plan to buy new critters? Is pvc for hiding? No substrate? Bubblegurl, I'm happy to post pics but not sure how on this site. Can I put them in this thread? If so, any...

 Chimps have imagination or they would not have figured out how to make basic tools. They don't think they are naked, and they don't have religion. The concept of life after death is born in religion...evolution did not create it, nor make it necessary. Or religion is born in the concept of life...
