That is easy. The merged state is simply where the spiritual is part of nature.
So was Jesus lying in Matthew 18:20?
Our nature is now physical only. The spiritual still exists, separately. When God moves directly here, He uses the spiritual added to our physical.
So we don't live in a physical only universe now. If God ever takes part in our affairs, it adds an element of spiritual to the physical. God is omnipresent, so the spiritual is always here. If our universe was physical only, then God would never take stock in anything. That fact that people still pray shows that the spiritual is still here.
Of course the gardemn was here...so? No idea what you are freaking out about now.
You said the Garden of Eden wasn't physical.
OK. Tell us about that in detail. Where is this constellation? What evidence is there of the dates on the document, or the eqinox? What proof is there that the eqinox was as claimed?
Does it really matter? Your dodwell's curve presumably used the same information from different historical sources and you don't question it. You wanted me to provide you with evidence and I did. So far you have shown zero evidence in support of your idea.
So we saw the far away stars that week. OK. So much for light speed we know being in effect at the time! The evidence mounts.
God could have simply created the light already in place. The speed could be the exact same speed as it is now. Of course, why would God create galaxies and stars over 6,000 light years away if the earth is only around 6,000 years old?
Not sure how you get that. If you look in the same chapter, God gives a 120 year time periiod till some big change. I think that was the split. That means that the ark only too 19 years or some such to build.
It depends on how you interpret it. Some people believe that Noah took 120 years to build the ark, others interpret it as God capping the maximum age of humans.
Where in the verse does it say that there were giants in the land after the 120 years, or after the flood? I don't see that at all.
4There were giants in the earth in those days;
and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4
The passage of the Nephilim comes after the passage limiting our days to "120 years". Genesis 6:4 implies that the Nephilim have inhabited the earth in at least two different time periodsin antediluvian times "and afterward." If the Nephilim were supernatural beings themselves, or at least the progeny of supernatural beings, it is possible that the "giants of Canaan" in Numbers 13:33 were the direct descendants of the antediluvian Nephilim, or were fathered by the same supernatural parents.
He was the head astronomer in Australia. He studied many old records of where the solstice was, and etc, and realized that there was an axis change. He pinpinted the year it happened based on his 66 points of reference. Now, a few we might question, as to how accurate they are, but there are too many to ignore. They all led to one year. It was something like 2345 BC! Just the time of the split!!!!!!!!! He thought it was the flood that did it, of course. Interesting stuff.
So you don't question the old records he studied yet you question the old record I presented. He used the same methods as the people who study the age of the Rig Veda. Nice double standard.
Only in same state based dream years. No relation to actual time. I prefer reality, and knowledge.
Perhaps provide some evidence then?
Nope. That little commandment you just made up! It is not assumed at all any more by some.
If the past can be understood by the present, it is good enough for me. Until we find evidence that cannot be explained by our "present state" then the "same state" works.
It is irrelevent whether you assume a same state past, or a tooth fairy past, neither are proven! Neither are known. In fact your same stae hoax goes against history!
In all honesty, I will admit there is no actual way to falsify your idea. Much like the same way I can't disprove the invisible pink unicorn or the flying spaghetti monster. All I have is the evidence that can easily be explained by the laws of physics that we know now. If the evidence of the past can be reliably explained and predicted by the science of today, that is enough evidence to show to me that this state always existed on earth. However, your ramblings do little to influence any lurker on this site. So far I have provided more than enough evidence to sway all but the most rabid fundamental YEC. You have done nothing but puff smoke; all you have provided is chaff to be blown away by the wind.
Creatures without bones? Wow, how stunning. Some got killed by the ash. So?? The 600,000 years you did not and cannot support. You just try to pass it off like a used car you are trying to get rid of.
I provided links to three different methods used to date volcanic ash. Those three methods correlate with great accuracy. I can't help you ignored them. Maybe the lurkers you keep telling to pay attention actually did pay attention.
If you want to claim that the glass does not used decay, and same state premises, go ahead. Try to make a case.
Sorry, I couldn't really understand what you were trying to say.
Finding stuff does not make it as old as you like. It just means stuff was found.
Unless several different dating methods show the same age.
We can get some idea of age, but decay methods are useless when we get somewhere around 2000 BC, depending on the method.
I guess correlating dendrochronology and C14 dating back to 12,000 years ago is all bunk too right?
If the scrolls are younger than that, it is not an issue. Science is OK, here in the present state. You just have never known when that started!
Presumably right before or after the flood. In earlier posts you claim the split happened in the days of Peleg. Now you claim it happened right before the flood.
What I don't get is you claim we cannot use present science to study the past before 2000BC. So if we find something and date it to 1999BC that is perfectly acceptable but it we date it to 2001BC all of a sudden we can't assume because the past was a different state? That makes about as much sense as a tuna going scuba diving.
