Mike riddle Exposes the Fossil Record that Support Evolution 5-6

Mike can give powerful, well-illustrated talks on: * the importance of upholding biblical authority during these challenging culture wars in Western nations * dinosaurs and the Bible * the six days of creation * astronomy and the Bible * the origin of life * many, many other fascinating talks

As a former world-class athlete in the multi-event decathlon (i.e., becoming proficient in ten athletic events, with each decathlon conducted over two grueling days), its not surprising that Mike is also versatile in his creation evangelism efforts. Not only will he be a speaker out on the field to conduct meetings in churches, schools and other venues, Mike will also be holding workshops in the new AiG-USA facility (within the Creation Museum) in Northern Kentucky. Thirdly, he will also help AiG develop additional curriculum materials for various age ranges on the Book of Genesis.

Mike holds a degree in mathematics and a graduate degree in education. He has been heavily involved in creation ministry for more than twenty years, and has gained such a good reputation as a speaker, that he is often a keynoter at many meetings, including various homeschool conferences in the United States. (In fact, US supporters might want to mention Mike Riddles name to the leaders of their statewide homeschool group and ask its program committee to consider inviting Mike to bring his talks on biblical authority.)

Before becoming involved in creation ministry, Mike was a US Marine (rising to the rank of captain) and during his career as a Marine, appeared on a widely distributed recruiting poster for the Marines. Mike tells us that his goal with AiG is to have the Marines famous Latin motto semper fi (always faithful) be applied to his ministry of traveling around America (and overseas) to proclaim the creation/gospel message (and thus fittingly fulfilling the Apostle Peters command to be faithful in being ready always to give an answer I Peter 3:15).

Before becoming a Marine, Mike became a US national champion in the track-and-field version of the pentathlon (in 1976). His best events were the 400 meters, javelin, long jump and 1,500 meters (almost a mile). In his professional life, Mike worked for many years in the computer field with Microsoft (yes, he has met Bill Gates).

Mike told us that while he conducts dozens of layperson meetings each year, my primary passion is to train the trainers—the teachers and pastors—to be able to defend the Christian faith, and then have them teach others. I see it being done through teaching workshops here at AiGs new headquarters and elsewhere, such as the possibility of web-based, distance learning instructional courses, as well as written materials. We need to be equipping more Christians to uphold their faith and to evangelize more effectively in these challenging times.

As a speaker, hosting Mike will be even more cost efficient for churches (and other groups) who may want to hold an exciting AiG meeting. You see, his wife Lesley will be serving AiG as a volunteer, and will join Mike at most of his events as AiGs on-site representative (whose salary we dont have to pay, and thus hosts only have to take care of her travel expenses).

Ken Ham, AiGUSA president, encourages supporters to have their church leadership contact AiG to have Mike come out and impact their churches and communities with the creation/gospel message: Mike is a dynamic and passionate speaker, with a wealth of experience in creation ministry. He already has a phenomenal reputation, and brings another exciting dimension to the AiG outreach—including his ability to produce curriculum for many age ranges. Mikes a great speaker and curriculum developer.

March Madness is a process of ELIMINATION. Competition reduces variety. Selection eliminates.

How can Evolutionarians not see that Natural Selection ELIMINATES genetic information?

[RomansGalatians]

Calling it microevolution instead of variation is misleading, because the word "evolve" means to gain in complexity.

If you have a variety of cars, and you SELECT the red ones, you have thereby eliminated the other colors.

Just use the correct words and it's simple.

@5tonyvvvv Riboenzymes are a nobel winning discovery.Please look it up.It's not something we made up.It's a fact.

[Stevoukos]

@5tonyvvvv (cont from previous).Nature "chose"(horrible wording-especially for these debates but anyway) L probably because polarized radiation can destroy D amino acids-Thus staying with L amino acids.

I'm not sure whether I answered your question.Please if you could post a clear question and I'll be more than happy to respond.

Sorry for the huge amount of text-It's a bad bad habit of mine.

Peace.

@5tonyvvvv (cont from previous).One is the R/S system the other is the +/- system and the other is the D/L.Each of them is used for different purposes and have different meanings.

Now it's a fact that most amino acids are L (with the common translation of being left handed ) and most sugars are indeed D.There is no problem with that.

You might ask WHY did nature choose L amino acids?(cont)

@Stevoukos These reactions only take place in the minds of Atheist scientists! and You still stubbornly don't understand Homochirality, I have work to do, I don't have all day to argue with atheists! Have a Great Life...Godbless and Good bye!

@Stevoukos LOL, The RNA world even more ridiculous nonsense! "This engineered RNA" would break down do to the unstable conditions of it..similar to rats leaving a sinking ship..This artificial RNA..has ZERO chance of further evolving into a living cell.

Activated subunits are used along with templates taken from living sources!!..its not a geochemical relevant reaction. It has nothing to do with origin of life! Borrowing and Rearranging pre existing INFORMATION is not creating anything!

[Stevoukos]

@5tonyvvvv (cont from previous)to respond you'll have to make your position clearer.

Anyway I'll try to explain the basics of chirality because I think you have a misunderstanding of the subject.

Chiral are 2 molecules that are not imposed on their mirror image.This is because of the existance of an asymetric carbon atom (an atom of C which is "connected" with 4 different group).The 2 chiral molecules are often referred as optical isomers and they can be classified by using many ways(cont).

[Stevoukos]

@5tonyvvvv Abiogenesis has many questions to answer.What we can do since we obviously were not there is to use evidence we find now to form theories of what happened back then.

It is a plausible explanation.RNA can replicate without the need of proteins.That's a fact.

Moving on to chiralilty.

I think you have some things a bit confused.At first you stated that all amino acids lacked chirality but then you acknwoledge that indeed we had a mixture of D/L amino acids.In order for me (cont)

[5tonyvvvv]

@Stevoukos That's what miller made! and that's what we see in Nature! its a fact of Chirality, life by time chance, natural mechanisms, is chemically and mathematically impossible!
