You seem to be conflating issues. I would think that time is more of an issue for the universe, rather than the past on earth. The reason people lived longer here likely would not be because time passed slower.

Focus.



Don't think of light traveling slower or faster in our spacetime. I think we know that is not likely. Now if our laws and forces and spacetime were not the same, THEN light may be able to do things it can't do here.

For example creation took 6 days, and the stars were made I think on day four. How could distant star light be seen by Adam on day 6?
When it indicates trees grew fast, light behaved differently, and spirits lived with men, and men lived 1000 years almost etc...that REQUIRES something other than present state physics!

Or or, hear me out, have you never considered a biology explanation for people living longer? Say, DNA repair being better, etc. Because that is the sort of stuff that causes aging, not physics really.

Not that it matters so long as you can't prove anyone has ever lived longer than 122 years.

If God wanted to believe the earth was only 6,000 years old, why would he create so many way that show it to be much much older?

Don't you remember, it's for the lulz (to show the wise men to be fools whole deal).

Do you doubt that the past described in the bible is in the bible? Get a grip. Like you care?

You're stalling...! Show us the passages that claim a different set of laws of physics, or admit that you're making it all up,....or shut up...!

Adam saw stars...connect the dots.

I can see bloody stars...! How does that show a difference in space time...??

But I never said light was sped up. It was just in the foormer state so behaved differently for whatever reasons.
In creation week we have a planetary rapid movement of all the water and land. No friction heat killed anyone. Go figure.

Show me the passages that say that spacetime was altered...! You can't, can you...? It's all in your fevered head....


Put up or shut up...!

Calm down, try the first chapter in the bible, and also where it talks of the flood.

They weren't created THIS week! If they were, would YOU expect to see stars? Obviously if we saw the stars in days, something was different!

That is not known. Show me where modern coslology is in the bible? There is however, in the bible an indication that a star visited earth at the time of Jesus. The star of Bethlehem. We also know there is an association with spirits and the spiritual with stars. We also have the time frame when they were created, and an earth and observers to callibrate the data!

You have nothing but stories, and religion.

You can't prove they didn't. That means you are in no position to question the record.

I can't see some mere biological tweak resulting in ten times the length of life for man. (and animals). We also have data in the bible that suggests trees grew real fast, and spirits could live here with men. We also have all the water and land separating in creation week with no great friction and heat produced. We also have stars seen days after they were made. We also have all life on earth (save the sea life) on an ark about 4500 years ago! That means that all species either adapted and evolved SINCE then rapidly, or the ark was a lot bigger than it was. Etc.

Bull....show me the verse that says that spacetime has been altered from that time to this..........you are making it up...! But, why should that surprise - you believe in fantasy stories....

They weren't created THIS week! If they were, would YOU expect to see stars? Obviously if we saw the stars in days, something was different!

Pssssst.........it's a story...! A made-up story....! And nowhere in it does it say ANYTHING about an alteration of spacetime.....You. Have. Made. It. Up.

Show me where it produces the evidence that YOU CLAIM it contains......

You have nothing but stories, and religion.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA......!!

Then let's see you say something about the altering of spacetime.

Please explain this passage:

Exodus 2:23 And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
Exodus 2:24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.


Here's your chance to mention an alteration of spacetime.

If you choose not to, then please quit belly-aching about the Bible not mentioning it.

Here, I'll even give you a second one -- much easier:

Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

We call that Jacob's Ladder, and although it was a dream ... it may have really existed.

If so, please explain it, using current physics.

It is possible that God sped up the speed of light to make the light instantly appear on the earth.


God doesn't have to follow any of the laws of physics/science.
Have you ever seen a Newton's cradle?

Those things are neat.

Five suspended balls in a row and etc., etc.

Energy in the past could have traveled through a medium that transferred it much faster than today.

Like sound reaching you through a wall before it reaches you through the air.

The light from a star could have near-instantly reached the earth back then, without even being subjected to the Doppler shift.

You can't prove they didn't.

Proof is overrated. I go for the high probability, based on weighing the evidence. Then I pick the best option and go with it . . . a step of faith, if you please.

If one holds out for absolute proof, one will never get married, never commit to a religion, never choose a college, never choose from the restaurant menu.

By the way, have you considered the implications of the fact that you have vestigial ear wiggling muscles?
