Science & Mathematics - 27 June 2007

i am a christian and accept creation but i have also read a lot about evolution and i think it is perfectly logical and sane given sufficient time and the right conditions (which btw i think is a BIG given). many christians try to argue against evolution by saying that organs such as the eye are too complex to have arisen gradually but even that seems perfectly logical to me. I think the only thing that i can't get my head around is island dwarfism, where, when cut off on an island, groups of large animals evolve to be much smaller. i can see the survival advantages, but i cant see how if say a group of elephants got stuck on an island they wouldn't just eat all the food and die out, but fossils of dwarf elephants have been found on many different islands around the world?!?! does anyone have a clear darwinian explanation for this phenomenon? BTW PLEASE DON'T USE THIS FORUM AS A SOAPBOX FOR YOUR RELIGIOUS VIEWS!

How do you rate the IQ of "SOMEONE" who has committed to memory 70 sextillion+ names?

Below are two claims, one from science; one from the Bible:

Claima A: Star survey reaches 70 sextillion
That's the total number of stars in the known universe, according to a study by Australian astronomers. It's also about 10 times as many stars as grains of sand on all the world's beaches and deserts. !!!!

CLAIM 2: Psalm 147: 4
He (God) telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

If both claims are correct (which I believe), what value can we put on the IQ of God who, it is said, knows both the number and names of all the 70 sextillion+ stars in the universe? How many computers can do that job?

Scientists cannot be green or interested in the environment? Do you agree?

Science is about facts. Proving things. It has nothing to do with the environment so scientists can not be green or interested in the environment? Do you agree.?

Where can I get more info about a certain asteroid?

I'd like to find out more about a particular asteroid, more than what i found on Wiki. Links to useful sites and/or emails are especially useful, because there isn't a well developed astronomy community around here.

How many feets and inches make a 175 cm ?

theoritically 2.54cm = 1 inch ..12 inches=30.48 cm
if we divide 175 by 12 and then 2.54 we get 5.7414 feet
and if we multiply 5.74 with 30.48 we get 174.9552
but on the contrary 175 cms is taken as 5.9" !! which one is correct ??...also do we use different measuring devices/units to measure human height ? KINDLY HELP asap !
