Who was the greatest scientific genius? (Page 4) kittybobo34: I will go with Hawkings, his ability to think in math, and come close to unifying quantum mechanics, and relativity is amazing.  Lilith___: Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev, a Russian chemist and inventor. He formulated the Periodic Law, created a farsighted version of the periodic table of elements, and used it to correct the properties of some already discovered elements and also to predict the properties of eight elements yet to be discovered.  Evelyn99: It a matter of opinion and when they lived and so on. Don’t think it matters much as virtually nobody on the planet read anything about it and know about the same as the science literature in the Bible explains the heavens concluded for more than 2000 years ago kittybobo34: That would be the same book that said the whole earth was flooded, Noah put 8 million species on board, Jonah found a nice spot inside a big fish, people get turned into pillars of salt (those salt pillars are still being made) , and God had a debate with Satan over Job, and let Satan kill his family, destroy his property, and give him all sorts of diseases, but the joke was on Satan at the end sure Job thought so too.  Blackshoes: Noah did not Put 8 million species onboard ! There are seven definition for Species ! The Bible doesn't state How many Species were saved ? The following should be Of Interested to them the seek the truth https://creation.com/gobekli-tepe There are Hundreds of different type of Wolfs today that we call dogs, All Dogs are able to mate with wolfs ! All dogs are descendent of Wolfs ',and never have they become cats ! Assumptions ,and Stories are not the tools of truly Intelligent people However assumptions and Stories are often the stock and trade of those that know no better' and Hold to Pseudoscience's  Interesting Note : Population Growth make perfect Mathematic sense according to A Noah's Ark timeline ! Nothing within The Pseudoscience of a Evolutionary timeline make any Mathematic sense  To calculate the earth’s population growth since Noah’s Flood, let’s be extremely conservative and say average population growth is only half this rapid. That is, let’s assume it takes 150 years for the population to double on average. This corresponds to an average annual percentage growth rate of 0.463% (for every 100,000 people, a net of 463 are added yearly). For comparison, this is the same thing as saying $6 invested at 0.463% annual interest for 4500 years would grow to $6,400,000,000. https://biblescienceguy.wordpress.com/2014/05/28/1-population-growth-could-noah-fill-the-earth/ (Edited by Blackshoes) kittybobo34: interresting concept, but totally incorrect when it comes to human population growth. disease and war kept us almost level for 1000's of years, wasnt until we started solving those problems that it really took off. The 8 million species number came from the fact that this is how many species are in the world at the moment, You have told me that no new species are created, IE there had to be 8 million species or more on the ARK. Blackshoes: Again you make false claims as fact ! It's only assumptions ',On both counts ! No records have been keep to verify your claims of either question. Note also there is not one civilization or city found to be older than 10,000 years Of course Academia claims we were all living in caves  If Humans have been around according to the Evolutionary theory "Millions of Year "even with a conservative estimate .Including war and disease' there would be more people than all the Stars in the universe ! It's not possible that anyone has have a idea to how many species where around 6000 years ago ! Denying the facts and adding assumption is the stock and trade of Pseudoscientist It doesn't surprise me that you'd accept everything Academia sells you How Many Kinds of Animals? "Recent studies estimate the total number of living and extinct kinds of land animals and flying creatures to be about 1,500. With our “worst-case” scenario approach to calculating the number of animals on the Ark, this would mean that Noah cared for approximately 7,000 animals." https://arkencounter.com/animals/how-many/ "A remarkable coincidence? The Jews are descendants of Jacob (also called Israel). The number of Jews in the world in 1930, before the Nazi Holocaust, was estimated at 18 million. This represents a doubling in population, on average, every 156 years, or 0.44% growth per year since Jacob. Since the Flood, after which the world population was eight, the world population has doubled every 155 years, or grown at an average of 0.45% per year. There is agreement between the growth rates for the two populations. Is this just a lucky coincidence? Hardly. The figures agree because the real history of the world is recorded in the Bible. What if people had been around for one million years? Evolutionists claim that mankind evolved from apes about a million years ago. If the population had grown at just 0.01% per year since then (doubling only every 7,000 years), there could be 1043 people today—that’s a number with 43 zeros after it. This number is so big that not even the Texans have a word for it! To try to put this number of people in context, say each individual is given ‘standing room only’ of about one square metre per person. However, the land surface area of the whole Earth is ‘only’ 1.5 x 1014 square metres. If every one of those square metres were made into a world just like this one, all these worlds put together would still ‘only’ have a surface area able to fit 1028 people in this way. This is only a tiny fraction of 1043 (1029 is 10 times as much as 1028, 1030 is 100 times, and so on). Those who adhere to the evolutionary story argue that disease, famine and war kept the numbers almost constant for most of this period, which means that mankind was on the brink of extinction for most of this supposed history.10 This stretches credulity to the limits." https://creation.com/where-are-all-the-people Here's a simple answer to the following Question "the cities didn't exist" because', No one was there to build them ! Of course that's just too simple to believe ! Academia preaches the Following BS https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/02/14/why-havent-we-found-civilizations-older-than-7000-8000-years/#6c277f844170 I'm sure you'll consider this as picking on Evolution ! I 'm doing my best to straighten out ',all of the Misinformation, and assumptions that are being promoted today and in the pass People need to Seek the truth . Not accept whatever been forced down they're throats' never hearing the facts . (Edited by Blackshoes) kittybobo34: Blackshoes,,, your comment about ancient civilizations not being older than 10k years. True unless you look underwater. The ice age ended and submerged all civilizations that were in existance, since humans in the early stages always build on the coast. So start looking 500 feet down. Evelyn99: Do day less people die or suffer severe injuries with permanent illness following, then any other time in human history. That being said we are over 8 billion humans as I write. Present wise the numbers is better kittybobo34: You are right Evelyn, as a percentage of the population there are less wars, less violence, and more wealth. But lots better with news about anything bad that happened so we can all feel depressed.
(Edited by kittybobo34)  srbiddy09: How did I know that I would find Black Shoes on this forum??? LOL. You are such a little rascal, Black Shoes. Your posts are always so entertaining. Keep it up! By the way, the greatest scientific genius was definitely Leonardo DiCaprio. He was a true Renaissance Man!!! Blackshoes: True Evelyn' that's why the Population growth is never taken from present Population growth or recent pass . The Calculation are made from ancient population Growth 'before the modern era . Even using very conservative numbers for Pop Growth ( 0.01% per year ) If Humans existed for even a million years. The present number of people would be over 100,000 trillion ' according too a Evolutionary Paradigm..  It's just unbelievable what BS Academia teaches in school ! As the Saying goes Figures Don't Lie ! And Liars Don't Figure ! (Edited by Blackshoes) kittybobo34: Blachshoes,,, common, you know as well as I do that the death rate back then was almost higher than the birth rate at times. It wasn't till more modern medicine that things turned around.  chronology: The death rate among British Military and Civil Service in Africa and Asia in the Empire in the 19th century was staggering. Nothing to do with war or violence, epidemics alone killed as many as 50pc of servicemen and 30pc of Administrators. The figures were never widely known for obvious reasons. At the time French and British newspapers would display a glamorous life of Civil Servants and soldiers and sailors in the Empires. They never reported on the fact that only around half the servicemen sent out there came back alive. Malaria, Typhoid, Smallpox etc swept away the other half. In slum neighbourhoods in England in the 19th century, you were lucky if you lived to be 40. Not much better in U.S. slums at the time. kittybobo34: I heard at the turn of the century 1900 that a white mans life expectency in Africa was about 2 weeks. srbiddy09: By the end of the 20th Century, a white man's life expectancy in South-Central Los Angeles was about 2 minutes. angpd: To get back on subject, You can't put them all in one lump. Oranges and apples and all. Einstein would get my vote in his field. Newton and the others have been trumped by relativity, Hawking would be in the conversation had he completed the unified theory. For sure one of the great minds but you have to go by completed work. Black holes, yep, the leader, no doubt. srbiddy09: I have to disagree with you, angpd. I've always thought that Disney's 1979 film The Black Hole was a bland and boring sci-fi film. Although Ernest Borgnine is a fine actor, he couldn't really save this movie. Ultimately, I still believe that Star Wars is "the leader." | Science Chat Room Similar Conversations |
