Atheism: The Non-Prophet Way Of Life
Here we expose the religions of the world for the frauds they really are.
Preying on the gullible and lost, giving them all the answers they want to hear,
and in turn leading them into a world of ignorance and disinformation; religion has got to go.

Actually, any good scientist (or at least physicist) will tell you that water freezes at 273°. ;)
Actually, any good scientist would know that you don’t use the degree sign in kelvin. ;)
Quite… pwnt, Mr. Ing.
The problem with teaching lies is that once you stop believing in part of the story (i.e. 6000 year-old earth) the rest of the story (biblical god, afterlife) seems incredibly shaky… The church has a good deal of experience cracking down and moderating scientific viewpoints, but this also engenders stronger reaction from the scientific community. Perhaps the radicalization of western scientists and a shift away from US domination in research is precisely what we need to spur on the next generation of scientific discovery.
This comic’s premise is invalid.
The freezing point of water can be observed during repeatable experiments. The development of macro evolution over millions of years cannot.
Both theories can be developed into good science, but one can achieve a higher level of certainty of one theory over the other. Creationists are correct to highlight the difference.
Water freezes at 0 degrees.
Howard, they might be right to highlight the difference, but that gives no extra credence to their theory’s claim.
Sorry to be pedantic but ice melts a 0, water doesnt necessarily freeze at that temprature.
Err, there’s actually a difference between -0c and +0c.
You actually need to add energy to move from frozen water which is at -0c to make it melted at +0c. If you want to get specific.
the freezing/melting temperature of water/ice changes dependin on atmospheric pressure
err, the amount of energy needed for entropy changes depending on the system’s atmosphere, but water always freezes at 0c.
Sorry Ian, you’ve got it wrong:
Supercooling occurs because water can exist as a liquid below its natural freezing point if it has no surface or seed on which to crystallize. That is, if there is no rough surface, impurity, or bit of ice to start the crystallization process, water can remain in a liquid state below 0deg Celsius.

My chemistry teacher lied to me! *shakes fist*
Ice is like pornography, I know it when I see it. No matter what the temp. ;)
