Please Make A Note: How Euler Derived the Momentum Equations

I found this great post explaining a great derivation important for Physics and Mechanical Engineering.

In this post, I will present Euler's derivation of the momentum balance equations for a fluid flow. Please note that I will use modern notation with a few modifications to the original derivation to clarify certain issues. Nonetheless, the core of Euler's derivation is maintained.

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Debates by Stephen Meyer

Here is an excellent post by Mike Felker listing debate by Stephen Meyer. Meyer is an excellent scientist, writer, and debater. I thoroughly enjoy his work on Intelligent Design. I'd like to see him debate Richard Dawkins. (I can dream can't I? By some miracle, Dawkins might evolve and grow a proverbial backbone.) . I'm glad Mike posted this list. Please follow the link to see it.

Can DNA Prove the Existence of an Intelligent Designer? « Biola Magazine

This is an awesome Interview

In the growing movement known as intelligent design, Stephen Meyer is an emerging figurehead. A young, Cambridge-educated philosopher of science, Meyer is director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute — intelligent design’s primary intellectual and scientific headquarters. He’s also author of Signature in the Cell, a provocative new book that offers the first comprehensive DNA-based argument for intelligent design.
On May 14, Meyer gave a lecture at an event hosted by Biola's Christian apologetics program in Chase Gymnasium, where he made his case that the origin of the information needed to create the first cell must have came from an intelligent designer. Biola Magazine sat down with Meyer while he was at Biola and asked him to elaborate on evolution, the scientific merit of the theory of intelligent design and the uncanny similarities between DNA and computer programming.

I highly suggest reading the article but also I find the comments very telling. There are several comments made by people who embrace evolution form an atheistic worldview. Their attitude amazes me. It's like Evolution has to be so fundamentally true that only morons don't believe it or question it. At the same time they take the attitude that theists are biased because scientists are supposed to "question and test everything". It's also amazing that none of the critical comments I says said anything like "I read Meyer's book and he is wrong on a certain page and here is why." No, he's wrong because he challenges their worldview.

The thing that amazes me about the people who hate intelligent design is that they expect us to believe that all of nature in its myriad of complexities, structure, and shape - awesome as it is - came into being without a mind behind it. I'm a computer programmer and no computer program comes into existence without a mind. Why would DNA or anything we see in nature be any different?

New Atheist in the Park — by Backwoods Boom Town Productions | True Freethinker

Mariano has posted an interesting comic strip that I can really relate to. It's about an obnoxious atheist railing against a person reading the Bible alone in the park. IT is hilarious because almost every single argument I have ever heard atheists make, were used in this strip! The atheist would not let the Christian get a single word in. I realize that many atheist would bristle at this because they don't think their personal attitudes nor the ones that they know are this closed minded or obnoxious. Let's be frank. We all have to admit that we know closed-minded obnoxious people who are atheists and we know some who are Christians. Bottom line. However, this strip is worthwhile because you can see how accusatory some atheist arguments are and how some people are not interested in dialogue but drama with no substance to back up their viewpoint. I also think the art is fantastic. I sure hope Backwoods Boom Town Productions releases more.
