Why do people laugh at creationists? (part 13) >>
Episode 2 in the series looks at the apparent size of the moon as compared with the sun from our vantage point and reveals the bogus use of statistics by a Creationist video.

Okay, I'm not a fan of creationism, but at least make sure the opposing argument is airtight. The detonation of hydrogen bombs, atomic bombs, and nuclear bombs, is an example of fission, not fusion.

I thought hydrogen bombs used both fission and fusion.

Yep, basically a Uranium fission reaction sets off the Hydrogen fusion reaction which gives the H-bomb most of its power. In this reaction, two hydrogen atoms fuse together to form a helium atom. Of course, there's a lot more hydrogen involved than just two atoms, that's just a ratio. And that is the basic process by which the sun operates, hydrogen fusing to form helium. Eventually, approximately 5 billion years from now, all the sun's hydrogen will have turned into helium and it will have run out of fuel, therefore beginning its dying process. So don't make any plans on for a Y5G party.
Anyway, I myself am a Christian. I believe in God, accept Christ as savior, and all that. But if people are putting out these creation videos saying that elements can't change and calling that proof of God, they're wrong. Elements can't change into other elements through normal chemical means but they can do so through nuclear fission and fusion.
