Oatmeal boiling over in microwave
- sunshinedrop Nov 7, 2006 02:23 PM
Every time I cook oatmeal in the microwave it boils over ALOT. I use the regular oats (not the quick oats) and mix them with a little milk (half the recommended amount on the Quaker oat box). I don't want to have to put my cup of oatmeal in a huge bowl to cook it in the microwave, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to keep it from boiling over so bad.
re: marthadumptruck
I was looking for a suggestion BESIDES a bigger bowl (see my post above).
re: sunshinedrop
re: raybird
short of a bigger bowl, this is exactly what I do to ensure no boil over!
re: mshpook
Ditto. The only thing I'd have to add is watch your microwave and determine the boil-over point. On mine, if I use a small bowl I can microwave for 1 minute, stir and finish up with a thirty second blast.
re: rworange
I have found that cutting the temp by 1-2 power levels and adding 2 minutes to the cooking time will l minute will reduce the boil over. stirring every 30 seconds helps as well.
A coffee or desert saucer placed under the bowl will make any spill-over easier to clean up.
re: mshpook
I watch the oatmeal and stop it whenever it "puffs up" and looks about to boil over. I give it a stir and start it again. Of course, this means I can't walk away from it, but I bet cutting the temp, as Kelli2006 said, would help, too.
re: sunshinedrop
Try no more than 1.5 minutes for the first cooking, then a second blast ofs 1 minute you're satisfied with the consistency. (Stir inbetween blasts)
Or you could watch it the first time and write down the boilover time(s) and then just don't exceed those, it should be fairly consistent if you always use the same bowl.
It's possible that the milk proteins increase the boilover, as opposed to pure water. When I scald milk in the micro, it can easily reach a point where it foams and rises over the rim in a matter of seconds.
If you are after a soupy porridge, maybe do the bulk of the MW with only water, then when it's almost done add the milk?
I use water...not as much as the box says, to 1/3 c. oatmeal. I zap for 2 minutes and then thin a little w/milk after cooking. I agree that milk boils over much more easily than water.
omg i know the answer to this one. i eat oatmeal every morning and i cook it for 2.5 min in the microwave. the secret to it not boiling over is to find a bowl with straight up sides so the oatmeal is forced to stay in when it bubbles up. works for me every day and i used to have trouble with it boiling over. finding this bowl is hard but corningware has this extra deep bowl that has pretty straight sides and it does the trick. you can sometimes find it at some 99 cent stores. oh one more thing is that i cook it with water.
re: choctastic
Same routine here. You still need a bowl maybe 4X the volume of ingredients.
Using a huge bowl seems to me like a lot less hassle than having to fiddle with things while it's cooking.
re: Robert Lauriston
actually if the bowl has very straight sides it need not be huge. i happen to have a non-corningware glass bowl with sides that go straight up and the oatmeal never boils over in it, even thoug the sides are only about 2 inches high from the bottom. that said, you still need to leave at least a good inch and a half for expansion.
i actually have watched the oatmeal sort of fold over in the really straight up sides bowl. good stuff.
re: choctastic
wow, it would be great if you could take a quick picture of the bowl that you use (with the uncooked oatmeal mixture in it) so I can see what you mean. I think I get it, but a picture is always worth the thousand words we don't have room or time to type! ;-) Thanks for the tip!
re: gomer999
I use a Pyrex quart measure for 1/3 cup oatmeal + 2/3 cup water.
re: choctastic
Ditto. I switched to an old, small Pyrex bowl. It's no bigger than a cereal bowl, just has higher sides that taper down to the base. This bowl: http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/vinta...
I used water in my oatmeal and still had the boil over issue. The tall, tapered bowl resolved the issue for me. I didn't like having to stop after a minute and stir and then re-heat while watching for the boil over.
At work I use a company supplied paper bowl and paperplate underneath; stop, mix and check every 10 secs. If it does go over, I spoon the boiled over stuff back in the bowl and throw away the paper plate so there is no micro cleanup. This seems to be the best after several boilovers. I think a paperplate under a regular bowl should avoid the micro cleanup if it goes over, or if it doesn't you can save the paperplate for another time.
re: soundpost
I use an old pyrex 4 cup measuring cup covered with a plastic microwave plate cover. I heat for 2.5 minutes and use water. Of course, then I scrape the oatmeal into a regular cereal bowl so I have two dirty dishes. But if wiped right away, the measuring cup is not hard to clean.
re: dfrostnh
My 4-cup Pyrex measuring cup works fine uncovered for one serving.
re: dfrostnh
Why not just eat it out of the measuring cup? I do this all the time, especially when I am away from a table, or counter. The handle makes it easy to eat from the hot cup.
re: BIGGUNDOCTOR
My soulmate. Exactly what I might think of.
re: rworange
This comes from 23 years in the Boy Scouts. When you are on a campout you try any way to minimize washing dishes , as water can be scarce at times. Morning routine was mix the instant oatmeal in a mug, eat the oatmeal, then mix the hot chocolate in the mug which washed out the oatmeal when you drank it. A quick rinse, and you had a clean mug.
Being a bachelor I am constantly eating out of pots, pans, skillets, or over the sink to reduce dirty dishes. Couldn't do this if friends were over---orrrrrr could I ? Will have to look into that a bit more =)
Wow! I knew there would be some simple ideas I had overlooked. Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions. I'll be sure to try them!
I have been having a bowl of oatmeal several times per week for several years now. I switched from quick oats to regular oats some time back. I have a recipe that includes dried fruit, sugar, cinnamon and salt. I used milk with my oatmeal and microwave it for 2.5 minutes at 50% power - stir and then do 2.5 minutes at 40% power. The size bowl makes all the difference. I experiemented and found a size of bowl at our house that generally won't spill over. Depending on what's clean - I may use a smaller or larger bowl than usual. It's the oatmeal that matters - not the size bowl. Bowl size only determines amount of cleanup.
But, what if it's organic rolled oats (ORO) rather than Oatmeal? I find that ORO when cooked on the stove takes at least 20 minutes to reach the normal creamy and thick consistency (2 cups ORO + 3 cups water added periodically). However, the microwave process takes forever and never seems to reach the proper consistency. Has anyone had any experience with microwave ORO? I need help with this.
I'm like an idiot standing in front of the microwave allowing it to boil up just to the edges before sending in rescue crews. What I started to do was mix in the water or milk in batches, thirds actually. Then again, this may not be what you have in mind, as you probably want the solution so that you can throw the stuff in the microwave, and then go finish getting ready whilst the meal cooks, leaving you just ample time to down it before heading out... Nonetheless, the adding liquid in turns definitely avoids overflow...
You will get way way better oatmeal by cooking it slowly and carefully on stove top in water. Scrape out of pan and fill pan with water immediately; cleanup is very easy. Use good long-cooking oats and don't overcook, for a chewy texture. It will keep 3-5 days in fridge, well covered (add cold water to seal top once it stiffens up). Reheat individual portion in microwave briefly. This is the quickest breakfast if you're half awake to start with. If you must cook it in microwave from scratch, add a teaspoon of butter to reduce frothing, and great taste. Oats contain a lot of glutinous soluble fiber which is really difficult to cook with milk that tends to froth on its own.
I micro ORO several mornings a week. 1/2c ORO in 1c water in a 4c Pyrex measuring cup. Cover with paper towel. 3 minutes at 30% power, then 2.5 min at 50%.
No stirring. No watching. No boiling over. Then add fruit, honey, soy milk, whatever.
I add those in cooking container because plain cooked ORO are gelatinous, and it's easier to move mixture into eating bowl with liquid, etc added first. Immediately placing cooking container in sink and filling with water makes cleanup so easy after you've eaten.
re: sheilal
I know that this isn't what you asked.... but you can have perfect oatmeal on the stovetop in 5 minutes.
Good friends were over this weekend and the subject of oatmeal boiling over happen to come up and he mentioned that when he put in the cinnamon before he cooked it, it wouldn't boil over. I went online trying to see why this happens, and I came across your post. This is probably something worth trying. Good luck!
You might try experimenting with the power setting. If, for example it takes 2 min to fix your oatmeal, and it boils over at 1.5 min, then you might try 5 min @ the 40% setting, or 10 min at the 20% setting.
There is some % setting where it's almost impossible for it to boil over. Because, by the time it gets hot enough to boil over there's not enough liquid to overflow.
You also might consider fixing the bowl of oatmeal the night before (without heating it at all), and then heating it in the morning at the regular setting & time. You may find that the oats have absorbed enough liquid that it's practically impossible for it to boil over.
I believe I know the real answer to this question. The problem isn't the size of the bowl nor too much stuff in the bowl nor your power setting or cook time. Not having enough liquid is the problem. Once the oatmeal soaks up the liquid, what little liquid is left starts to rapidly boil into steam and it is this steam that forces the oatmeal out of the bowl. So, add more liquid to your ratio and the problem will stop. I now cook oatmeal in all shapes and sizes of bowls filled close to the brim and no boil over.
re: dpinky
What ratio do you use? Doesn't that give you watery oatmeal?
re: rworange
When I say filled close to the brim, I don't mean with mostly water, I mean that I can cook a lot of oatmeal in a small bowl.
The ratio depends on your microwave, your water hardness, your oatmeal brand and type, your altitude, etc.
My point is that near the end of the cooking, the small amount of moisture remaining turns to steam and that steam is what pushes out the oatmeal.
Thus the solution is do what is counter intuitive and that is to increase your water to oatmeal ratio.
re: dpinky
Sounds more complex than just using a large bowl.
re: rworange
To each his own but I found that a larger bowel doesn't address the fact that the mixture is running out of cooking moisture before the oatmeal is done cooking.
The problem may seem complex but the solution (a little more water) isn't.
The secret of great oatmeal is to cook it SLOWLY. Here's how: In a 1100 watt microwave oven, use a glass or microwave safe container, add one half cup dry OLD FASHIONED oat meal. Add 3/4 cup water and mix well. Put in microwave oven and cook for six minutes at 3 POWER. That is, set your microwave to cook slowly at a setting of about 30 percent power. (If you don't know how, check your owner's mnual) You will hear it cycling on and off as it cooks. The oatmeal will cook slowly without boiling over and is much better in body than quick cook high power oatmeal. Serve with rice milk, cinnimon, and half a small banana. Sweeten with Stevia. It's great. (If your microwave is lower powered, you can adjust your power setting accordingly. e.g. for a 900 watt oven I would set the power at 4 or maybe 5 instead of 3. Experiment.
re: hyperdrive
Thank you! THIS IS THE ONE. I misplaced the printed copy I made of this, and a search on CHOW didn't turn this one up. Other suggestions for 50% power must have a lower wattage microwave. I use Turbinado sugar and Lactose-free milk in a Fiesta chili bowl with straight sides. .
re: Ronnie from FL
Thanks for these great tips! I like McCann's steel cut Irish oatmeal with either soy milk, flax milk, or almond milk (all vanillas). I cook mine for about 6 minutes to get it to my preferred consistency. I added a little water at the beginning and it boiled over a little less than before. I microwave for 3 minutes. After that, I have to keep on stopping and stirring every 30 seconds or so. I will continue to experiment.
re: honeylocs
Somewhere in this thread was a suggestion about the shape of a container. I think it was square. That worked but then the real revelation for me was it didn't matter. What you need is a bowl, ,whatever shape, that is deep enough to handle the boil. After I stopped using bowls that were too shallow, I never had a problem with this.
Mine boiled over badly when I followed the recipe on the Old Fashioned oatmeal box: 5 minutes at full blast. We have an instant hot water dispenser, so now I put 1/2 cup of oats in a generous bowl and pour over it one cup of steaming hot water. Then I cook it for five minutes at thirty percent power. It cuts off just as the swelling oatmeal reaches the top of the bowl.
Though this be an old post...i use defrost timer setting for about 7-8minutes,Check at about 6.Stirr,return til done....no boil over...works with rice as well..
So many years since this question, but... I had this problem with Bob's Red Mill Old Fashioned rolled oats who recommends 1/2 cup oats with 1 cup water in microwave and microwaving 3 to 5 minutes. Using a 8 1/2 cup Tupperware bowl with the "air spout" on top, it all overflows at 3 minutes. I find that microwaving for 2 minutes is fine; I remove the bowl from the microwave and let it sit for maybe three minutes and then I can return it to the microwave for 1 minute and about 20 seconds. I add milk (I use soy milk) when I'm ready to eat.
So staying true to the original question, a combination of a little more liquid and microwaving longer at a lower power setting is the ONLY correct answer. Again based on the original question
If you cut up some banana's or use boiling stones, this will not happen. It needs something in the bowl to dissipate the large bubble that occurs as it boils over. Usually if I cook with chopped up banana's, this will not happen.
re: monavano
no lid or plastic wrap for me.
re: monavano
A lid would just make more of a mess to clean up.
re: Robert Lauriston
Uh yeah- why get all scientific about ratios and cooking times?
Put a lid on and done!!!!
re: monavano
It would still boil over. The lid would just be one more thing to clean.
re: Robert Lauriston
Never had that happen using a fitted glass lid.
I just don't get how this is so complicated!
re: monavano
How big is your container and how much liquid and oatmeal do you have in it?
When cooking half cup of old fashioned oatmeal with one cup of water... I microwave on high for one minute and then four minutes at a microwave setting of 3 (out of 10). This heats it up then simmers without the boil over. Works perfectly 96% of the time. :-)
At the end of the day, basic science prevails (at least in my house). Using an old Tupperware container (6 " high and 6 3/4" diameter), a ratio of 2:1 water to rolled oats, 7 minutes in the microwave on high, it comes out perfectly every time. No watching, adjusting, or mess. I'm sure that varying the time, ratio or ingredients to taste will also work equally well.
Solution is to cook it slower and longer. I cook mine at "3" power, i.e. that's 30% of full power but I cook it for 8+ minutes. it comes out great and no boiling over. Start cooking the oatmeal first before you start setting the table etc. and it will be done when you are ready for it.
re: hyperdrive
Hyperdrive is right... that seems to be the best solution to this nagging little problem. -:)
re: hyperdrive
That's how I do it too. My microwave overcooks everything so I do oatmeal at 30% power for 5 minutes and it usually works great with no mess.
re: monavano
Try it. I've had my oats now few days after hearing about this. Standard bowl, nearly full to the brim, microwave full power for about 3-4 min no mess. Should work on the hob too.
re: monavano
And the beauty is that it does't need to be wooden spoon necessarily. This morning had wooden butter knife handy and it worked just as well.
Very impressed!
As you may know, oat meal will boil over in a pot on the stove if not monitored. A vessel that will hold at least 16 ounces is recommended. Next using the about 1/3 cup of oatmeal, add 3/4 cup of water. Add about 1 to 2 teaspoons of butter, as an oil is needed to prevent it from foaming and boiling over. Cook in the microwave for approximately 3 minutes, based on a 1000 watt oven.
I had this same problem until I tried putting a large dinner plate under my bowl. It never boils over. I use a large salad bowl. Interestingly, if I use a luncheon plate it boils over. This also works for making rice in the microwave.
Another solution: Soak your oats. Mix up the oatmeal and liquid the night before in a microwave-safe bowl or Tupperware. The oats will soak up the liquid and become tender by morning (same concept as overnight oats) and then they only need a minute or so in the microwave to reheat.
How long is cooking time and at what temp/power? Don't have experience with oatmeal boil-over, but have had that happen cooking rice/pasta mixes. If something starts out with a relatively high liquid content and calls for say 5-6 minutes on HIGH... I'll set it for 2-3 minutes or so on high and then 10-12 minutes on power level 1-2 (on 1-10 scale). The first few minutes brings stuff up to about boiling & the lowering of the temp makes it so ya don't have to baby-sit it.

Second, I'm not arguing specifically for recent special creation. The validity of macro-evolution by natural selection is completely independent from the validity of modern cosmology, or the doctrine of recent creation. The validity of macro-evolution is a self-contained enigma.

Third, I openly admitted that the second law of thermodynamics doesn't necessarily contradict macro-evolution by natural selection, so you're just straw-manning what I actually said.

Listen, macro-evolution is completely unobserved in the fossil record, and unobserved in the present day. You say, "Many different kinds of mutations constantly generate new genetic variations." You're certainly right about that, but that's not macro-evolution, not even close, that's micro-evolution by natural selection, and that's not the same thing as real Darwinian Evolution. Furthermore, all they have observed in the fossil record and in the present day is micro-evolution by natural selection (which isn't the same thing as evolution), and (from what they have observed) the micro-evolution has all been secluded and confined with animal families. That's not real evolution, and micro-evolution by natural selection only confirms what Scripture says about animals, plants and humans. Enough micro-evolution by natural selection will only lead to more of the exact same kind of micro-evolution by natural selection, and they have never observed anything to the contrary.

There are many secular scientists who don't believe in the standard model of macro-evolution by natural selection, because it's unobserved and unobservable. Also, I don't have a closed mind, I'm trying to look at the evidence (I already wrote that if I don't find genuine answers to recent creation I'm going to reject the Scriptures), and I have many evolution books and secular science books sitting on my bookshelf (although unfortunately I haven't gotten the time to start reading them yet, I'll grant you that, although I've still been looking into it a lot), which proves that I'm not being close minded in my arguments.Joshua23http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-18502325052490201322014-06-22T05:20:08.006-07:002014-06-22T05:20:08.006-07:00"Interna genetic code" !?!? Assuming yo..."Interna genetic code" !?!?

Assuming you mean "genetic variation", you are very uninformed. Mutations (many different kinds) constantly generates new genetic variation.

No, heat from the sun does not magically convert into increased biological complexity. No scientists say this, so where the heck did you get this idea from? What happens is that the sun provides energy that allows entropy to decrease locally on Earth (because Earth is not a closed system, this is not in contradiction of the second law of thermodynamics). Living organisms use this energy to develop and populations evolve.

You haven't gone to college, and you don't know much science. It's not that I don't know why you are arguing these points, but I am curious why you think you have resolved that evolution is impossible when you really don't know anything much about the science. You are one of the most overconfident people I have ever met; everything you say you claim is "definitely true" and the claims you dislike and know little about are all "unscientific, unproven, unprovable and ridiculous". If only closed minds came with closed mouths.Bjørn Østmanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-36820764362136633222014-06-20T16:52:25.335-07:002014-06-20T16:52:25.335-07:00There are basically two places where microevolutio...There are basically two places where microevolution and macroevolution (by natural selection) can be observed; first, in the fossil record, second, in the present day. In the fossil record there isn't a shred of empirical evidence for macroevolution by natural selection, there is only empirical evidence for microevolution for natural selection. In other words, they have clearly observed that species have adapted (using their previously existing internal genetic code) to different environments, but they have never become completely different types of organisms in so doing; the natural selection has always been downward in its effects (i.e. microevolution) never upward in its effects (i.e. macroevolution), if this is universally true (i.e. if microevolution is definitely true and macroevolution is definitely false), there is an unbreakable barrier between certain types of animals. In the present day they have only observed the same thing as in the fossil record, microevolution by natural selection; they have never observed in the fossil record or in the past a species increasing its genetic complexity with no previously existing internal genetics allowing it to do so; they have never observed a single trace of real evolution.
 Anything else is just speculation, they say, "Well, given enough microevolution, then macroevolution is bound to occur." Actually, given enough microevolution, you're only bound to get more microevolution, because microevolution uses the previously existing internal genetic code to adapt to different environments, while macroevolution magically generates previously non-existing genetic data ex nihilo in order to change into different species (which is unobserved, unobservable and impossible). They breed ten trillion fruit flies and what did they get? More of the same exact fruit flies! They did the same thing with bacteria and what did they get? More of the same exact bacteria! There hasn't been a shred of empirical evidence for real evolution ever. We shouldn't be surprised by this (here it comes) because macroevolution by natural selection is diametrically opposed to the second law of thermodynamics. That law says, "Everything wears down over time," and macroevolution says, "Animals increase in complexity over time," at face value, those two assertions are antithetical to each other. But you say, "Well, the earth is an open system, so the sun can give energy to the animals so that they can increase in genetic complexity from no previously existing internal genetic code." This assertion is admitting that if the earth is a closed system, then the second law of thermodynamics would sufficiently contradict and refute the notion of macroevolution (which is what real evolution actually is); moreover, even if we agree that the earth is an open system, and can therefore receive energy from the outside (in this case the sun), you are literally asserting that the energy from the sun will cause species to increase in genetic complexity (with no previously existing internal genetic code) despite the fact that this assertion (upon which the entirety of Neo-Darwinian evolution depends upon) is completely and utterly unproven. Moreover, it's unproven because it's impossible. It's impossible for the heat from the sun to increase the genetic complexity of living organism; that is so unscientific, unproven, unprovable and ridiculous. The sun provides heat, the sun doesn't increase the genetic complexity of organisms. Here, prove how raw solar energy from the sun can be magically converted to increase the complexity of living organisms (without any previously existing internal genetic code).

 I feel like I've been accused of not knowing anything about science or evolution, listen, I'm not a scientist, and when I get to college I want to get a B.S. in Philosophy and M.S. in Divinity, and I only plan on reading a ton of science books on my own, but I'll just give my scientific attack against evolution here, just for the fun of it. First, the validity of Neo-Darwinian evolution is not a question of the validity of the Big Bang model, or the age of the earth or universe. Those two things are completely independent from whether or not Neo-Darwinian Evolution is scientifically valid. From what I've studied, the universe could may well be ten trillion years old, and Neo-Darwinism would still be unproven, unprovable and impossible. First, let's define Neo-Darwinism. Evolution is the theory that species can increase in complexity over time with no previously existing internal genetic code, this is called macroevolution by natural selection, and is the essence of real evolutionary theory. There is also another part of Neo-Darwinism called microevolution; this is when a species can use its own previously existing internal genetic code to adapt to any given environment. This is called microevolution by natural selection; in this, the species spontaneously uses the best available internal genetic code to adapt to a given environment, and if or when a species is thrusted into a different environment, it will gradually adapt to that environment by using the best available internal genetic code.Joshua23http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-25166922840888584052014-06-20T15:32:06.591-07:002014-06-20T15:32:06.591-07:00If the second law of thermodynamics applies to the...If the second law of thermodynamics applies to the whole universe, then certainly the universe is finite, non-eternal, corruptible, mutable and contingent; again 'if' this law applies to the whole universe, then those assertions are definitely true. If the universe is an isolated system, then the second law of thermodynamics applies to the whole universe. The universe is an isolated system; even under the Big Bang model of the universe, it is an isolated system! Here listen, rational-wiki utterly despises Christianity and they say the same thing, "The universe is an isolated system since it is a term to describe the entire space-time continuum, including all of the energy stored in it. In reality, the universe is regarded as the only true isolated system, as perfect isolation on a smaller scale is impossible." The universe is an isolated system, therefore the second law of thermodynamics applies to the whole universe, therefore the universe is empirically finite.

Finite objects need an external cause. Then you say, "Sez who?"

Honestly, empirical science definitely affirms that finite objects need an efficient cause, and I suppose you can respond with a simple "Sez who?" retort, but I could just as easily answer, "Empirical Science," and you're not allowed to say "Sez who?" and then try and accuse me of logical fallacies, logical arguments don't work that way.

"Everything needs a creator except the creator!," which you called me out as circular reasoning. That wasn't my argument, you my friend are guilty of the straw-man fallacy; you twisted my actual argument and then responded to the twisted argument. My argument is that every finite, contingent object needs an external cause. The universe is finite and contingent, therefore the universe needs an external cause. Now, if everything in existence was finite, then nothing would exist, therefore not everything in existence is finite; this means that the universe needs a first Cause who is preceded by no other causes (otherwise nothing would exist; if you don't terminate the infinite regress, then nothing exists, since things exist, then something infinite, eternal, incorruptible and immutable must have terminated the infinite regress). This first Cause would have to be either a living Being, non-living matter or nothing. Well, out of nothing nothing comes; nothing is what rocks think about, the universe couldn't have come from nothing because nothing doesn't exist. It couldn't be non-living matter because if that were true then physical matter would have filled the universe from the beginning of time. Therefore it must be an infinite, eternal, incorruptible, immutable, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, living Being.Joshua23http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-40431353340725825492014-06-20T15:22:44.938-07:002014-06-20T15:22:44.938-07:00First, my primary force of argument has been a def...First, my primary force of argument has been a defense of straight theism; I wasn't really trying to defend Christian theism until you stated certain things in the Scriptures that you didn't like. I grant you that in order for the Old and New Testaments to be the word of God, they must be fully accurate in their theology, history and science. I also grant you that mainstream science is pitted against the straightforward teaching of Scripture (in particular the doctrine of recent creation and the hydraulic cataclysm), so in my wrestling with this issue over the past several months, I've been looking for two things--

1. A genuine reason why mainstream science is pitted against Scripture.
2. Plausible and scientific explanations for the scientific accuracy of Scripture.
(Without sufficient answers to these things I would basically reject Scripture altogether.)

I'm still wrestling with certain things, but here's an important (and for me substantial) answer to the first issue. Lawrence Krauss says, "Force your thoughts to conform to the evidence of reality," and "let's let the universe tell us how it works." In making these claims, he's trying to assert that mainstream science somehow has the ability to objectively interpret objective evidence, in which case it should be embraced without question, and we should therefore force our thoughts to conform to it. The issue with this (really deceptive phraseology) is that there is no such thing as an objective interpretation of objective evidence (at least with the issue of origins) because all objective evidence is subjectively interpreted, and mainstream science interprets objective evidence through the subjective filter of uniformitarianism. Uniformitarianism is basically an outright rejection of the authority of Scripture, therefore it makes complete sense for mainstream science to be so deeply pitted against Scripture, because all of the objective evidence is interpreted through the subjective filter of uniformitarianism; so you would actually expect to get radically different interpretations of objective evidence because of this. So honestly for me that substantially answers the question as to why mainstream science is so pitted against the Scriptures.

"A simple river bed will suffice."

Wait a minute, I feel like, river beds are definitely not powerful enough to form billions of fossils all over the earth. You admit that fossils need mud and therefore water in order to form, but there are billions of fossils all throughout the earth, so you can't have a simple river bed, that's far to weak to form any fossils, let alone billions of fossils all over the earth. Moreover, there is literally no recorded history until after the global flood (supposedly) took place; and if you study world population growth, it's basically impossible for the world to be millions of years old, our current population only fits in with humans beginning from scratch around 4,500 years ago, which fits in perfectly with the Genesis account (of eight people surviving the flood and rebuilding humanity); honestly for me that is convincing evidence.

The Scriptures that I brought to your attention aren't vague, they are incredibly perspicuous explanations of the nature of God; they are deduced exegetically, objectively, and clearly. I'm not stretching their meaning in any degree, when Scripture says, "the understanding of God is infinite" it means exactly that, it means that God is omniscient.

No, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics does not prove any of the things you're claiming it does. But feel free to show the data, don't just make a claim. Let's see the peer reviewed science!

And you're also just making gargantuan claims that have no logical basis in fact. "Everything needs an external cause!" Sez who? And you're still employing the circular reasoning I called you out on before. "Everything needs a creator except the creator!" Irrational and a logical fallacy.

And I'm sorry, but quoting vague bits of the bible and stretching their meaning vastly until they sorta mean what you want them to mean to fit present day data is in no way proof of anything other than your creative license.

You have a gift for grandiloquence, I'll grant you that, but your grasp of science is lacking. You really do seem to be attempting to make up for it with a philosophy class, but that's just not going to cut it. Provide the math. Provide the data. Provide the observations.limbodoghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-49491971597941969112014-06-19T18:30:20.042-07:002014-06-19T18:30:20.042-07:00There's no heaven above us or hell below. In ...There's no heaven above us or hell below.

In Scripture, there are basically three different ways in which the term heaven is used. The first heaven just means the earth's atmosphere. The second heaven is basically outer space. The third heaven is the place where God dwells. Certainly if God exists then He dwells somewhere, and basically the third heaven is just the place where God dwells. Hell isn't ever referred to as a place below the earth in Scripture; hell is the eternal wrath of God, and is the punishment for those who live in perpetual rebellion and enmity against Him.

There's no burning bushes that speak to people.

The burning bush was a special manifestation of God so that He could obviously communicate with Moses; the bush was burning but not being destroyed and it showed Moses that it was a special divine intervention and he should therefore respond accordingly; I mean you don't have to embrace the burning bush, but it's completely plausible and rational provided that the Christian God does exist.

There's no cataclysmic flood wiping out all humanity but sparing all the plants.

There's no cataclysmic flood, but there is absolutely zero recorded history until after the time Scripture records when the global flood took place. There's also myriads of fossils all over the earth. Think about this, if the earth was billions of years old, and there were no catastrophic events that took place, then there would never be any fossils ever. The animals would have died and then decayed and turned back into dust. In order for a fossil to form, it has to be engulfed in mud, and then the mud has to harden and the flesh will decay; you need mud in order for fossils to form. Now, there are billions of fossils all over the earth; all of those fossils need a lot of mud to be engulfed into in order for them to become fossils. The only way for fossils to form all over the earth is if water at one point covered the earth; if water violently bursted out of the ground and violently poured out of the sky, then myriads of fossils would be formed all over the earth.Joshua23http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-30278839885713836302014-06-19T18:09:43.908-07:002014-06-19T18:09:43.908-07:00"The necessary attributes of the first Cause ..."The necessary attributes of the first Cause of the universe is a perfect reflection of the God described in Scripture."

For which you argue is not the case.

Well, I wasn't necessarily (at least here) defending those different things in the Scriptures, but rather the nature of God as revealed in the Scriptures; so I'll do that first. Certainly I've given a sufficient argument for the finite universe needing an efficient Cause; which is an infinite, eternal, incorruptible, immutable, omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient, living Being. So I will just show you how all of these necessary attributes are clearly ascribed to God in Scripture.

1. The infinitude of God--

"Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You."

2. The eternality of God--

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."

3. The incorruptibility of God--

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

4. The immutability of God--

"For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed."

5. The omnipresence of God--

"Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain You."

"Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?" declares the LORD.

6. The omnipotence of God--

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

7. The omniscience of God--

Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.

With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding? And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge and informed Him of the way of understanding?Joshua23http://email@example.com

Lionel Messi Breaks Iran's Heart With A Stoppage Time Dagger To Break A Scoreless Tie (VIDEO)
It's moments like these that make the World Cup special. On the biggest stage in the world of soccer, you get a watch a huge underdog in Iran rise to the occasion and push a powerhouse nation like Argentina to the brink. But on that same stage, the best of the best typically rise to the top and unforgettable highlights like this Messi goal are the end result.

This guy was particularly friendly and adoring, planting a kiss on his forehead, ruffling his hair and surrendering to security without incident. Messi took the whole thing in stride, probably because he's a grizzled field-rusher veteran these days, though he did take a moment to re-style his hairdo. Priorities in a close match, obviously.

How to switch views using Backbone.js65 ♥
When we started developing with Backbone.js, we had some trouble setting up a basic application that simply switches between views. There are great tutorials explaining what a Router is used for and the documentation gives you a good place to start, but we didn't find a tutorial that explained how to use this in real life applications. To make things worse, some of our jQuery events inside the views stopped working once a view was switched and some CSS styles did not apply as they were supposed to.
The View
To keep this tutorial simple, we put our content inside
index.html. The view content is written inside a
<script> tag with
type="text/html" and an
id so it can be loaded with a simple jQuery selector.
You probably want to use a template engine like _.template and an AMD-loader like Require.JS for dealing with this, but there will be another blog post about that.
<script id="view-id" type="text/html"> This is the view content. </script>
As mentioned above, we had some issues with disappearing jQuery events once another view was loaded. In order to fix this, we have to override the default behavior of the Backbone View's
remove() function.
// Override View.remove()'s default behavior Backbone.View = Backbone.View.extend({ remove: function() { // Empty the element and remove it from the DOM while preserving events $(this.el).empty().detach(); return this; } });
The Backbone View, which is in fact more like a Rails Controller, is initialized with the
id of the respective template
<script> tag and renders the content into a new
<div> (because we didn't specify the
el property).
var ContentView = Backbone.View.extend({ /* * Initialize with the template-id */ initialize: function(options) { this.template = options.template; }, /* * Get the template content and render it into a new div-element */ render: function() { var content = $(this.template).html(); $(this.el).html(content); return this; } });
The Router
The router is the piece of code that navigates between your views. It is initialized with the DOM element that should display the content when switching between views, and initializes the View classes as created above.
var ApplicationRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({ initialize: function(el) { this.el = el; this.loremView = new ContentView({template: '#lorem'}); }, ...
In order to switch between views, we keep track of the current view, detach it, move the new view element to the DOM and render it afterwards. By doing this, we ensure that all CSS styles are already applied while the new view is being rendered.
... currentView: null, switchView: function(view) { if (this.currentView) { // Detach the old view this.currentView.remove(); } // Move the view element into the DOM (replacing the old content) this.el.html(view.el); // Render view after it is in the DOM (styles are applied) view.render(); this.currentView = view; }, ...
routes hash maps URLs to functions on the router. In this case, we want the
lorem route to call the
showLorem function.
... routes: { "lorem": "showLorem", }, showLorem: function() { this.switchView(this.loremView); } });
Putting it all together
Now all we have to do is create an instance of the
ApplicationRouter and start the Backbone history.
<script type="text/javascript"> var router = new ApplicationRouter($('#content')); Backbone.history.start(); </script>

Members of the International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation (UIAA) are hoping to launch a bid to get the sport of ice climbing admitted into the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Two UIAA officials met with the Association of IOC Recognized International Sports Federations (ARISF) this week to discuss the plan.
Inside the Games offered an explanation of what the sport of ice climbing entails (hint: it involves climbing. And ice.):
Ice climbing involves climbing through ice structures or formations.
These formations may be in the form of frozen waterfalls, icefalls, ice slabs or rocks covered with frozen water or ice, or artificial structures.
It is regarded as a competition sport and has its own World Cup circuit, promoted by the the Bern-based UIAA, including South Korea, Romania, Switzerland, France and Italy.
If you find yourself intrigued by the idea of ice climbing and want to check out what the sport is all about, swing by the Olympic Park in Sochi next year. The UIAA will have a demo-zone allowing you to experience the thrills and chills firsthand.

With Tannehill, the Chiefs are covering all of their bases. It's that simple.
For the first time since Kansas City made sweeping changes to its football operations more than three years ago, the team doesn't have to draft for need in the first round. Plenty of needs remain across the roster, but the starting 22 in vastly improved.
When it comes to choosing a player with the 11th overall pick, the Chiefs are position flexible. That's why Tannehill could make a lot of sense.
The answer is no. Crennel is not a new head coach in the eyes of the NFL.
Teams with new head coaches can start their offseason program today while teams with returning head coaches have to wait until April 16. Crennel is not considered a new head coach so the Chiefs offseason doesn't really start until April 16.
"I used to go to Pittsburgh a lot when I was a kid. I was a diehard Steelers fan," said Rudd, who spent most of his youth in Kansas. "Huge. More than comedies or movies or anything like that, it was the main thing in my life that I cared about the most," he said.
By the way, Matt Cassel's head shouldn't rest too easy on the pillow tonight either. The Chiefs travel to College Station later this week to get their own private session with Tannehill.

Genevieve's Design Tips: Kids' Room Makeovers
In episode six, the Design Stars create rooms for their most demanding clients ever: kids. See what Genevieve says they did...
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
When it came to designing a bedroom for a young girl, designer Dahlia Mahmood incorporated all things feminine to give it an elegant touch. A stunning chandelier, four-poster bed and soft pink details throughout the room are just a few of the design choices that make this room a knockout.
The design of this room was kept simple. There were no real issues, but intent to design classic and elegant forms, which would extend the lifespan of the space. The child should be able to grow into the room without much modification in the future.
The only major challenges came with the design of the bathroom. The pre-existing plumbing did not match up with the new waterworks fixtures. The connections had to be custom made to fit.
With the intentions of keeping the room very simple, we wrapped the walls of the bathroom with a pink beaded wallpaper, then hung a simple mirror framed in crisp white panels. Putting the rest of the bathroom together, we decided to push it a step further and ornament the mirror with pearls and gems, classic elements to enrich entrance to the bath. Seeing it as a whole, the bathroom became a jewel itself.
You can sketch, plan, and design but there are levels of detail that can't be seen until you are experiencing the space yourself. Even after the original plan has executed, sometimes your gut will tell you a design could be better. Always follow through with your instincts and go the extra mile; you will be satisfied with yourself and your clients will appreciate the honest efforts.
The door gives you a glimpse of the elegant space from the outside. It is custom made, tufted with pink silk and stamped with a large D for the first letter of the little girl's name. The murals of ballerinas posing and dancing are framed with hand sculpted curls and ballet flats, and then accented with Swarovski crystals. Lamp shades on nightstands are fitted with ruffled tutus and wrapped in pink silk on the chandelier to soften the overall lighting of the delicate bedroom. The bathroom is a jewel itself with each façade sparkling with pink beads for a magical touch.

There should be a natural law which states that the more digital disillusionment permeates a given area, the greater and more proficient its experimental noise output will be. For more than a decade, Japan has led the world in abstract musical exports thanks to artists such as Ruins and Merzbow. In this realm, Tokyo's Melt-Banana tends to lean more toward the Boredoms than Boris, condensing a media-saturated culture into minute-long blasts of erratic tech-punk led by vocalist Yasuko O. who speaks, squeaks and creaks foreign observations like Alvin and the Chipmunks on acid. The group cut 1996's brilliant Scrach or Sniff with avant savants Steve Albini and Jim O'Rourke, recorded a Peel session, contributed the song "Hair-Cat (Cause the Wolf Is a Cat!)" to Cartoon Network's Perfect Hair Forever and recently released their eighth noise bomb enigma, Bambi's Dilemma, perhaps their most perplexing and polished effort to date, on their A-Zap Records. MxBx's American equivalent, xbxrx, will open along with Austin-based Count Dracula's Weed Smuggling Jam Engine.

If you haven't seen Sarah Palin's latest shrewd attempt to reach out to women…well, here it is.
Transcript available at Shakesville.
The language is taken from a recent speech Palin gave at the Susan B. Anthony List – an anti-choice organization – where she tried (unsuccessfully) to paint herself as the "true" feminist. This ad is just another cynical move to appropriate feminism and feminist rhetoric; somehow Palin believes by shouting "yay women!" over and over again no one will notice that her policies are as anti-woman as they come.
The other telling part of this ad is that there only seems to be one kind of "mama grizzly" Palin is interested in wooing. Check out this letter to The Washington Post.
…In watching Ms. Palin hugging her supporters and handing out flowers, I saw something else. I noticed only one slightly off-white face among the many people she was reaching out to. And Ms. Palin pointedly says that conservative women are "mama grizzlies," more formidable than "pit bulls."
Of the deeply feminine women I know, none of them exclude people of color from her personal embrace.
Shocking, I know.

Dear Friends,
During the recent National Hispanic Health Week of Action, the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda's member organizations worked with the White House to rally our communities to seize the historic opportunity provided by the Affordable Care Act: access to affordable health care for millions of uninsured.
NHLA and Latino leaders held a press conference in Washington, D.C. announcing our outreach efforts to Latino families across the country. As reported in news outlets like NBC Latino, La Opinión and El Tiempo Latino, our organizations are using town hall events, regional forums, and social media campaigns (via #OurSalud on Twitter) to spread the word about the health care exchanges.
If you are in the Washington, D.C. area please join us at one of our next outreach events:
The "Covered Hispanics Campaign" regional forum
Organized by: The National Hispanic Medical Association
Date & Time: Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 6th | 6 - 8 p.m.
Location: U.S. Capitol Visitors Center, Room HVC-201
As you know, on October 1st the Health Insurance Marketplaces created by the Affordable Care Act opened for business. This is a transformative moment for the Hispanic community and we must take advantage of it. While many headlines have focused on the Health Insurance Marketplaces' website problems, the fact is that there are still many other ways to learn more and get enrolled.
We can't lose sight of the big picture: Over 10 million uninsured Latinos now have options to find affordable health insurance.
The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda – our coalition of 36 national Latino organizations – strongly supported enactment of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and asks you to join us in urging Latinos to enroll by:
Calling the bilingual hotline 1-800-318-2596. Talking with trained specialists in their community who are available at many local health centers and libraries to assist with the application process. To find them, visit the Find Local Help section on both HealthCare.gov and CuidadoDeSalud.gov – websites that also provide a wealth of other information and will soon be better equipped to accept online enrollment. We need your help to make sure the Affordable Care Act is a success for our communities. Please visit visit latinosunited.org/healthcare to learn more about our Latinos United for Healthcare campaign, to ask your Members of Congress to preserve affordable health insurance options for our community, and to share your story about how access to affordable health care is making a difference in your life.

Comment: Good luck to any teams hoping to find a starter in this group. But these guys and others will find a job as reserves.
Chiefs situation: The trade for Alex Smith can be completed this week, but the backup situation is muddled. Matt Cassel is on his way out, the Chiefs have shown no interest in re-signing Brady Quinn and that leaves only Ricky Stanzi and Alex Tanney. That leaves the addition of a veteran backup as a possibility.
"There's a pretty darn good chance that he comes back," the person said. "He's been chasing that Super Bowl for a long time. If I was a betting man, I'd say he'd be on the side of trying to come back."
Gonzalez, 37, said repeatedly in 2012 that he was "95%" sure he would retire after his 16th NFL season. He raised those odds to "97%" after the Falcons won their divisional-round playoff game against Seattle, the first postseason win of Gonzalez's career. Gonzalez said the percentages of retiring would have increased to 99% had the Falcons advanced to the Super Bowl instead of losing to San Francisco in the NFC Championship Game.
Here's a look at this week's top 32 picks:
1. Kansas City Chiefs — Eric Fisher, T, Central Michigan: I had two coaches tell me Fisher was their top tackle, and a reliable source tell me that Fisher over Luke Joeckel for the top spot. No one knows for sure and either man would be a solid pick.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars — Luke Joeckel, T, Texas A&M: The Jaguars could take a defensive lineman in this spot, but I'll bet the offensive tackles will have higher grades on the draft board. A solid player with a 12-year career.
3. Oakland Raiders — Sharrif Floyd, DT, Florida: The Raiders should move down in the draft and acquire more picks but it will be hard to find a partner. Without a second-round pick they simply will not satisfy all their needs in the draft. Floyd is an athletic, explosive defensive lineman and Richard Seymour is gone.

NFL Week 5 is upon us and here are some coverage maps displaying which markets are getting which games. It is interesting that the Northwest, Arizona and California are getting the New England-Cincinnati game in the early slot on CBS. The Jacksonville Jaguars are playing the NFC West division's St. Louis Rams. That game impacts those regions which have teams in the NFC West, but they're probably grateful not to be subjected to a Jaguars game.
For some reason Abilene decided to go with the less marquee Baltimore-Miami game instead of the New England-Cincinnati match up. In the 4 o'clock slot everyone gets treated to the Denver Broncos game against the Dallas Cowboys, except if you live in Arizona.
The FOX coverage map makes less sense to me, but interesting nonetheless.
There was supposed to be another game in the 4 o'clock hour between the San Diego Chargers and the Oakland Raiders. Because of the Oakland Athletic's game last night, the conversion between baseball stadium and football stadium wouldn't have been completed in time. That forced them to delay the Chargers-Raiders game, which will air on NFL Network at 11:35 pm ET.

Castelli GPM Sleeveless Jersey
Order 2 sizes up
Nice quality, love the zippered pocket for cash, ID & key. The white sleeveless was a perfect match last week for a Century ride with +8,000' climbs on a warm day. I did exchange the Med. ordered for a Large...still could go one size up.
I have a bulldog build at 5'3", 154#, if it helps you make a sizing decision.
