Pretty sure that girl is trolling everyone. She probably is on the other side and tried to think of a question that we might believe would be asked, but would also be idiotic. She went too far, even the Catholic Church is on board with heliocentrism. [Reply]

Its the beauty of a sunset argument. Heard it a 1000 times. I see god in all the beauty around me. How can you not see a sunset and know god did that? [Reply]

I thought he pretty clearly won the debate. Ham didn't really try and put forth any evidence at all.
Plus, when Pat Roberts essentially says quit talking crazy, you're making the rest of us look bad, it's a pretty good indicator as to who won...
Here you don't have to take anyone else's skewed opinion on the matter.
I thought it was rather silly that Hamm kept showing small clips of other scientists introducing themselves that took his position. That's great, but it doesn't bolster your argument really- it may Inform people about others that agree with his Side, but that time is better spent providing evidence and facts to support his position.

How does prime correlate/relate to PI? or does it not?
It states on the site that the programmer uses a PERIODIC function to produce the curves. So of course they are related to PI and circles as it is a cosine sine or exponential functions. The point of the different curves meeting at a number is to demonstrate the nature of that number as related to being a prime or deficient or abundant numbers; all related to number theory but the curves are arbitrary.

This photograph was taken by the Curiosity rover from the surface of Mars. This is literally a photograph of our planet taken by a nuclear powered remote control car, on the surface of another planet.
