Not ONE in there that does not sit on the premise that nature and laws were the same (so we could have had radioactive decay for example).Okay, here's some help:
From the abstract: https://www.nap.edu/read/624/chapter/16 - (don't worry though, the whole thing is there for you to read...)
"About 26 dating techniques can be applied to dating deposits and deformation of late Cenozoic age (past few million years). These techniques can be grouped as numerical, relative dating, and correlation. Numerical techniques are best, but datable materials are often lacking, and in these cases age estimation must be made using relative-dating or correlation techniques. Relative-dating techniques are nearly always applicable but are not precise and require calibration. Correlation techniques are locally useful and depend on recognition of an event whose age is known, such as a volcanic eruption or a paleomagnetic reversal."
The whole publication is there if you cared to have a look. I can't say I'm confident you'll be honest about it, but I hold hope that you'll at least read it and take the time to understand it, even if it is quite a read. There are a number of graphs derived from observed data points throughout this dissertation that should at least give you some visual representation of the correlating overlaps of some of the studies undertaken. this writeup goes to great lengths to explain the data and cover off the connected points, many that are relevant to our discussion. It deals with seismic & plate tectonics (geologic studies mainly, with a number of crossover dating methods & techniques with other independent scientific fields of inquiry and how they correlate remarkably well nonetheless). I'd like to make this our talking point for now, let me know if you have problems with it and be specific, we can all talk it over with you...
I have explained that they may not explain using the unproven same state past as the basis for what they think they know.Science does know. I have explained how science knows. Others have also explained.
Reality is not confined or defined by the present nature, unless you are defining the present.Unfortunately, you know so little about science that you don't realise that your ideas contradict reality.

Anything you say about the laws in the past can't be tested, so it is a losing proposition.
Precisely because, as the quote you cited says, it is unproven. You cannot use a belief that has no basis in fact as the chief cornerstone of supposedly scientific claims.And yet you have constantly FAILED to explain why they aren't allowed to.
My claim is that science doesn't know the nature, forces, and laws of the future or far past. The support for that claim is in the fact that no one anywhere ever proved that they were right, or even gave a smidgen of direct evidence, or even indirect evidence for the state you chose to believe in.If there is some evidence to support your claims, then post it. I';ve asked you countless times in the past and you've never stepped up with any evidence. All you've ever done is say, "Prove I'm wrong then."
Only as far as science goes, and as we can see, that isn't very far!And the same applies to you then!

No one knows from science either way. All that matters is that it is unknown.If it's unproven, how do you it isn't true?
Certainty only resides outside of science!You demand that I act as though I can't say anything for certain, and yet you make certain claims all the time. Why the double standard?
False. The present state only works in the present.But there is a basis - IT WORKS.
No, it is factual and reasoned and broad minded. It is KNOWN what science uses to look at evidence and make models of the past. It would bt myopic to ignore it.Yeah, but your point of view is myopic (to use one of AV's favorite words).

The real issue is having to admit you are defeated totally, I know that can be somewhat painful...but needed.You know, it's getting really boring refuting the same tired old arguments that you bring up.
My, would you be waxing nasty? I know exactly the limits of science and why it is limited. One must know this or one might become some blind cheerleader of darkness.You have no knowledge of how science actually works, no desire to learn and no desire to do anything other than spout your position over and over again.
Start with the topic. I explained why no human remains are expected to be found with dinos. That is because most animals and men likely could not fossilize in the former nature.Tell me, why are you in a place meant for discussions when you have no desire to discuss anything?

Now if you want to claim it was the same nature..prove it.
Or if you claim we could have fossilized show why other than that.
Otherwise you are defeated. Learn from it. Move on. Grow. Find truth. Be happy.
You have preached a belief in a certain nature in the past that has NO evidence no proof and is contrary to reason and Scripture. You have sought to impose this unfounded belief onto various evidences and have been exposed, defeated and overruled in totality.No, you don't know the limits of darkness. I have explained to you many times why your claims are wrong, as have others, and yet you refuse to listen. Either you are incapable of learning or you don't want to learn.
Speaking of getting tired repeating things, try and get this will you this time?And yet we have plenty of animal fossils from them.
Why not use what we have?? If the poor dead critter fossilized it was one of the creatures that could fossilize in the former nature! Let's work with science here where possible. Do't be an extremist.Why don't you create a timeline showing exactly when each type of animal became able to fossilise? And why don't you explain what caused some animals to be unable to fossilise, and explain what mechanism there was that changed to let them fossilise after a certain point in time?
If you had anything other than poor science to convince someone, and did not reject the Scripture for no reason, you might be able to convince someone of something.I have, you just deny it because you apparently can't face the idea of adjusting your point of view. So you hold on to your poor scientific understanding, refusing anything that will force you to re-evaluate your position.
Finally a claim! Let's see the evidence for this claim? Based on what? Why? I think many posters will see right away that the only possible reason you claim this is unfounded blind faith is a same state past. Because we NOW would fossilize. Give it up.If humans were alive back then, we would have fossilised just as readily as any other species.

I said most animals and man probably could not leave fossil remains. We were likely returning to dust real fast. I can't think of one tomb or grave from before the flood come to think of it! Some animals could fossilize. For whatever reasons.
Now if you want to whine because we do not know the details of the former laws and forces and how they determined life processes, fine. But remember that science doesn't know that and doesn't even so much know that nature was not the same!!!!!!!!!!! I am one up on them.

Only if you want to face facts and discuss things realistically.
The former state is gone now. Science understands only this present one. All that matters is whether there was a different state or not. If there was present state rules are OUT. If there was you could prove it...you can't. Believe whatever you like. It ain't science.
Poor and blind, and deaf and dumb.
You see what you want. Don't abuse the word reality.
In other words you know how fossilization now would happen...and you assume it was the same then. Gong.
People are used to science pretending they know it all, so when faced with honesty, they are disoriented. Here is the thing, science absolutely is in the total dark about the nature in the future and past. I am only in a fog, but that fog is not so thick as to not know some things, and be able to deduce directions, avoid dangers, etc.That's not an explanation. Since you can't even say that it was DEFINITELY that way, all you could say is that it was likely (and yet provided no evidence to support your claim), you have explained absolutely nothing.
One way to rise up from ignominious defeat is to stop pretending that you have some secret knowledge that we never see. Your posts attempting to prove your claimed laws in the past have been comically devoid of substance and predictably faith based godless nonsense with no basis.Already have proved it.
Easy to do. I am saying science does not know the state in the future or far past. The proof is seeing the posts from people trying to show they do know, and failing miserably, totally, deeply, and constantly.But what does it say about you when you demand proof from others yet provide none for your own claims? Why don't you prove what you are saying is true?

As for what the bible indicates the past and future are like, that is proof enough for me. For those that despise that truth, well, they are left with the dead end of science, and can never progress or know.
We know that the deposition rate for the ice cores that show 680,000 layers of year long seasonal change cycles of recorded atmospheric compositions, are consistent up to and including the last 6,000 years. Each layer shows an oscillating layer of trapped elements that show atomic weights consistent with 6 months of sunlight bombardment and 6 months without sun. These layers have recorded (trapped) volcanic ash from volcanoes where we have historic records of their eruptions, and they correlate. Measuring atomic weight of molecules in these layers has nothing to do with radiometric dating.Not ONE in there that does not sit on the premise that nature and laws were the same (so we could have had radioactive decay for example).
In other words, all belief based, and not knowledge based.
I read this at:
Are Dinosaurs in the Bible? Behemoth Dinosaur Creation Evolution
Granted, a young earth creationist site, but I am not wondering about the site, or its bias, I am wondering about a supposed fact that I read there, so please just answer that question.
Are humans ever found in the same geological column as dinosaurs, and if so, how is that explained?
Indeed, Christ Michael created the earth, when it reached a stage wherein it could sustain life, the primitive life forms were planted and evolved into life as we know it today.Well God made a world where Nature tends to go wild to. If there are human remains at the time of dinosaurs I have yet to see any.
Rock is in layers I can show pictures of it. It's how sediment settles over time and lava also of course. Then plates in the Earth push it around.
Over time these layers build up and they help mark time periods.
God made the Earth but I'm not so sure God has had a hand in everything.
Once again, you have posted nothing more than, "Science sucks!" and "I've won!" You have still not provided a shred of evidence to support your claims. Until you do so, I don't see any reason to discuss things further with you.
dad said:Thanks. I spent years being educated. Failed grade 9 three times, so I figure that is like 27 years education..ha
But hey, glad you consider that I fit the verse I cited.
