Yes they are wasting their time in being able to come to any knowledge of the truth. It is one thing to make nukes and womd, and warplanes and pollute the earth, and all that science does now...and another thing to claim that physics as we know it existed in the days of Genesis the flood or creation.

You didn't specifically answer my question. Give me a simple yes or no to this question:
Do you enjoy modern medicine, the computer you type on, the car you drive, hot running water, your cell phone, etc?

Do you enjoy the air and water and body and world God gave you? Neither the good or bad or horribly bad parts of science that works in this present world has anything to do with the creation debate. Look at my sig pic, and notice that part where things change...lifespans lose some 9 centuries in length, etc etc. Do not think for a moment that you will associate yourself with real science to any degree more than believers, and that real science deals with how the earth was. Get a grip.

You failed to answer my question again. Care to take another stab at it?
Yes, I enjoy the air I breathe and water I drink. I don't believe there is a God though. The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate that claim to be true. You've failed to do so.

Your timeline is so incredibly inaccurate Please demonstrate it to be an accurate timeline. It sounds like you approach science like this "If it benefits me and doesn't contradict my world view it's good. If it disagrees with my world view, even if it benefits me, it's bad". That is complete nonsense and you know it.

Not at all. More like this...if it applies to the creation debate and far past, put it on the table and let's see. Come to the light. Science for the present day is not relevant to the far past unless you first prove that the state pr laws and nature of that time were the same as now. You can't. You lose. Really.

You're the one making the claim. The burden of proof is on you.
Happily, your timeline is demonstrably wrong.
The age of the earth is 4.54 BILLION years old. This is 7th grade science here.
Science uses radiometric age dating.
Here is a handy dandy link for you: http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/gtime/ageofearth.html
Ooooo another one: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/dalrymple/scientific_age_earth.html
Cool little thing called evidence that demonstrates an accurate date of the earth.
Potassium argon is used to date hominid fossils. Here is a peer reviewed study for you: http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4757-9694-0_4

So there you go. I provided evidence for my claim of a 4.54 billion year old earth.
It's ignorant of you to think a timeline without demonstrating why it's accurate some how makes it true.
You are wrong. Unless of course you can back up your claims. Which you've failed to do.

Come to the light. Science for the present day is not relevant to the far past unless you first prove that the state pr laws and nature of that time were the same as now. You can't. You lose. Really.

You're the one making the claim that they weren't the same. The burden of proof is on you to provide evidence for this claim. Anyone who asks someone to prove a negative is intellectually bankrupt. You don't seem to comprehend this concept so I will give you an example:

"There are invisible fairies at the bottom of the ocean that control the tides of the ocean. Prove to me this doesn't exist. You can't. You lose. I'm right"

This is how childish you sound when you make your claims, dad.

To a point, yes. But science can never get to know the truth, though they be ever studying. They are wasting their time. Like beating the air.
Science aims to produce testable models and theories to explain and predict how the world we observe behaves. To that extent, it produces verifiable Kantian synthetic truths.

I suspect the truth you refer to is a woolly abstraction to do with the non-physical, unobservable, and untestable, and so is outside the scope of science.

You're the one making the claim. The burden of proof is on you.
Science bases the past models on a same state in the past that is a defacto claim.


Happily, your timeline is demonstrably wrong.
Great start the demo and stop the quacking.

The age of the earth is 4.54 BILLION years old. This is 7th grade science here.
Science uses radiometric age dating.
Decay is a feature of this state. Will that kindergarten truth ever get through your skull?

Cool little thing called evidence that demonstrates an accurate date of the earth.
Potassium argon is used to date hominid fossils. Here is a peer reviewed study for you:
That demonstrates that you have faith in a same state past, it doesn't even address proving one.
So there you go. I provided evidence for my claim of a 4.54 billion year old earth.
You provided evidence you believe in a phantom state in the past that was a same state past. Prove it. Basing models on assuming one existed is not proving it.

It's ignorant of you to think a timeline without demonstrating why it's accurate some how makes it true.
You have NO way to make it untrue! It fits the bible. You have squat too say about it.
You're the one making the claim that they weren't the same.
I am claiming you cannot prove they were the same yet claim it was. Your burden must be borne.

You lose.

So test the same state past? Science aims to blaspheme Christ and creation by Him, and to ignore everything outside it's little religious box.

To that extent, it produces verifiable Kantian synthetic truths.
Name one of these?
I suspect the truth you refer to is a woolly abstraction to do with the non-physical, unobservable, and untestable, and so is outside the scope of science.
If you could limit truth to the physical and the physical only in this present state on earth...you might have a point. You can't. Don't blame the majority of all men who ever lived for the abysmal inability of physical only present state so called science to be unwilling and unable to deal in anything beyond the little mental prison they constructed for themselves.

Lurkers...get yourself free. Life is good here, on the free and open minded side of God.

Already did.

When will you realize how science is done? You don't even comprehend the most basic concepts. Please learn them.

That demonstrates that you have faith in a same state past

It demonstrates that I know what evidence is. You do not.

it doesn't even address proving one.
You provided evidence you believe in a phantom state in the past that was a same state past. Prove it. Basing models on assuming one existed is not proving it.

You're the one making the positive claim that it was different. The burden of proof is on you. Not a difficult concept to grasp, dad.

You have NO way to make it untrue! It fits the bible. You have squat too say about it.

The bible is also a claim. The burden of proof also belongs to you to demonstrate it to be true. I do have something to say about it. I dismiss the claims of the bible. Can you demonstrate them to be true with verifiable evidence? The bible isn't science. No matter how much you think it is, it's not.

You have NO way to make it untrue! It fits the bible. You have squat too say about it.
I am claiming you cannot prove they were the same yet claim it was. Your burden must be borne.

This is an argument from ignorance logical fallacy. It is impossible to prove a negative.
You're making a positive claim that your timeline and age of the earth is true. I dismiss this claim until you can meet the burden of proof. It is that simple. Until you can grasp this very simple concept, do not reply.

Science is a methodology and a collection of structured knowledge, it cares not a jot for religious fancy. There may be many blaspheming scientists, but there are also many devoutly religious scientists.
Name one of these?
Newton's Law of Gravitation is an example of a Kantian synthetic truth: "Objects attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."
If you could limit truth to the physical and the physical only in this present state on earth...you might have a point. You can't.
If you want to subscribe to a woolly abstraction to do with the non-physical, unobservable, and untestable, that's entirely your business, but it's still outside the scope of science.
Don't blame the majority of all men who ever lived for the abysmal inability of physical only present state so called science to be unwilling and unable to deal in anything beyond the little mental prison they constructed for themselves.
I'm blaming no-one. If you have a means by which science can deal in the non-physical, unobservable, and untestable, by all means share it and help make the world a better place.
Lurkers...get yourself free. Life is good here, on the free and open minded side of God.
As the old saw goes, "Keep an open mind – but not so open that your brain falls out". Having said that, I see only one party here rejecting tested physical evidence in favour of stories, myths, and legends.

No. Actually you spammed a few links citing present state decay. You were firing in another direction than the target, and didn't even hit it.

It demonstrates that I know what evidence is. You do not.
It shows you cannot prove a same state past that is required for your physics that you claim existed and did stuff. Period.


You're the one making the positive claim that it was different.
Try to be brave about the truth of what science bases things on. Since they cannot begin to prove it, the evidence of the Scripture record reigns supreme. For folks who hate jesus so much they refuse to consider that, they have nothing at all. No science proving the state of the past they fanatically claim...and no historical record that can help them.


The bible is also a claim.
Not at all that is your claim. Jesus and the Prophets and history confirm Scripture in thousands of ways.

. I dismiss the claims of the bible.
Free will allows that, but you will not have any science to use for an excuse for your decision.
Can you demonstrate them to be true with verifiable evidence? The bible isn't science. No matter how much you think it is, it's not.
The everlasting proven word of the Almighty is not in a Popsicle box either, and it is not science, because science is like a foolish little dark box in comparison. It would be insulting to call the bible science. Yet the bible covers a lot more than science could, and all the things science thinks it does, but has wrong also!


You're making a positive claim that your timeline and age of the earth is true.
The claim is that science claims an age and uses certain basis for that claim and that basis you cannot prove. In that vacuum, intelligent honest people who do not deny the spiritual and history and God for no apparent reason can fall back on the record of God about creation.

I dismiss this claim until you can meet the burden of proof.
I dismiss your dismissal. Top that!

Come on over to the winning side, the water is fine here.

Dream on. Show us knowledge of what state of the past existed? You assume a certain state then fabricate models based on that alone. Then you move heaven and earth to try to make it look like it fits. The only place it fits is in your mind and the imaginary past, so no one can go and check. Yet that past conflicts with history, and God's word. You don't care if you have to shove around the model and toss around millions of imaginary years to try to make things fit. THAT is science.

There may be many blaspheming scientists, but there are also many devoutly religious scientists.
All of them that pretend to deal in the past are devoutly religious. The religion of unbelief in Christ and creation. Those that claim to know Jesus ought to know better.


Newton's Law of Gravitation is an example of a Kantian synthetic truth: "Objects attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them."
Now if you had data on an apple falling on Adam's head, we could talk about the similarity of gravity then and in newton's day.


If you want to subscribe to a woolly abstraction to do with the non-physical, unobservable, and untestable, that's entirely your business, but it's still outside the scope of science.
You can call the observed experienced collective knowledge of the spiritual for all time and history of man woolly if you like. What was observed since the garden was the promise of the Lamb to come, whose wool is white as snow.

I'm blaming no-one. If you have a means by which science can deal in the non-physical, unobservable, and untestable, by all means share it and help make the world a better place.
They might start by realizing God is love and stop making germ weapons and nukes, and chemical weapons, and drones and etc etc. The fact that the face of science is covered in evil pimples of death and destruction shows the inspiration source for it. --Not TO science, because they are blind to the obvious and the spiritual and to truth. They have no eyes to see. No ears to hear.

I see only one party here rejecting tested physical evidence .
That party is science who rejected the creator and the evidences God gave to man, and the physical death life and Resurrection of the creator.

As any honest lurker could affirm, no one has ever presented evidence here for the great con job that is the same state past. None. Ever. Yet that is the sacred foundation of ALL so called science claims of where we came from and are going!!

And you failed to read them. Does it scare you that you could be wrong?

It shows you cannot prove a same state past that is required for your physics that you claim existed and did stuff. Period.

Science makes no claims of a same state past. There is no evidence to suggest it was different. You are the one claiming that it was different. The one who makes the claim, must provide evidence for that claim. You're intellectually bankrupt if you think you can ask me to demonstrate a claim I didn't make.

Try to be brave about the truth of what science bases things on.

What does this even mean? It sounds like you're patronizing me. Don't do that.

Since they cannot begin to prove it, the evidence of the Scripture record reigns supreme.

Science isn't in the business of proving anything. It follows evidence to a logical conclusion. It's views are based on what the evidence suggests. Scripture is a claim and isn't demonstrated to be true. Provide evidence for any supernatural claim in the bible. You cannot. It's not supreme, it's a claim that is followed with faith.

For folks who hate jesus so much they refuse to consider that, they have nothing at all.

I don't hate Jesus, I don't believe in him. Don't misrepresent people. It's dishonest. Isn't that a sin in your bible?

Free will allows that, but you will not have any science to use for an excuse for your decision.

Why do some Christians think that threats like this work?
Well if there is a God, this God left no evidence of it's existence. If a God wants to punish me for using logical reasoning, that's fine.

Yet the bible covers a lot more than science could, and all the things science thinks it does, but has wrong also!

The bible knew nothing about germ theory of disease. It knew nothing of what caused natural disasters. It knew very little about the cosmos. Answer me this...would you rather live in the bronze age where the life expectancy was about 50 or right now?
You can hate science all you want....but I guarantee you benefit from it every day of your life.

The claim is that science claims an age and uses certain basis for that claim and that basis you cannot prove.

That "certain base" is called evidence :) Pretty cool huh?
You're making the claim that it's wrong. Burden of proof is on you. When you understand this statement, maybe....just maybe you'll understand why you're wrong.

I dismiss your dismissal. Top that!

Come on over to the winning side, the water is fine here.

You're free to dismiss my dismissal. It doesn't make you right. It doesn't make me right either....but the evidence suggests what is correct.

The water is fine here in reality too. Made clean by....who would have guessed it....SCIENCE.

Don't pretend that your links contained proof for a same state past. I have read that slop chapter and verse. Post your relevant bit from a link, and only post a link for support so we can see context etc for what you posted.


Science makes no claims of a same state past.
The present is said to be the key to the past, and upon the laws of physics rests the models of the past. Like to dispute that?

There is no evidence to suggest it was different.
There is no evidence to suggest it was the same.

Science isn't in the business of proving anything.
Obviously. They are in the gusiness of bad religion...basing alternate creation models on a fairy tale state of the past they cannot prove.

It follows evidence to a logical conclusion.
No, it leaves evidence in the dirt and leps by faith alone to evil conclusions.

It's views are based on what the evidence suggests.
No. It's models are based on what they believe.
Scripture is a claim and isn't demonstrated to be true
That is your claim. Worthless. The Scriptural claims are tested and tried and proven over great time. Done deal.

I don't hate Jesus, I don't believe in him. Don't misrepresent people. It's dishonest. Isn't that a sin in your bible?
Maybe you are a lost sheep and just confused, and swallowed the vile pills they dished out. Fine.


Well if there is a God, this God left no evidence of it's existence.
Science misreads evidence of Him and creation and ignores it. That IS science.

The bible knew nothing about germ theory of disease.
Oh? You thought that? Funny Jesus cured and healed most of the land of Palestine! You don't do that not knowing about germs or disease!!!!!

It knew nothing of what caused natural disasters.
Yes, it sure did. That would be better called sin disasters.

It knew very little about the cosmos. Answer me this...would you rather live in the bronze age where the life expectancy was about 50 or right now?
Life expectancy is a joke. There will be billions who die in wars and such in the coming days. Whatever they thought their life expectancy was is a joke.

That "certain base" is called evidence :) Pretty cool huh?
Not for the same state past which is the foundational belief of ALL models of the past!

You're free to dismiss my dismissal.
I know.
The water is fine here in reality too. Made clean by....who would have guessed it....SCIENCE.
The past id not here. The reality you cite is lobotomized in scope and breadth and depth. Piddling in puddles seems to be your game.

You assume a certain state then fabricate models based on that alone. Then you move heaven and earth to try to make it look like it fits.
Yes, and no, respectively. The default assumption was that the physical fundamentals behave the same now as they did in the past. Scientists predicted what we might expect to see if that assumption is correct. Then they checked to see if was actually found was what the assumption led them to predict. And they have found that those predictions were correct.

The history of attempts to calculate the age of the Earth shows great resistance, even among scientists, to the increases in age that were proposed. This resistance was only overcome by the continued discovery of multiple independent lines of corroborating evidence that soon put it beyond all reasonable doubt. It wasn't a case of trying to make the data fit the model; the scientists of the time were amazed by the results and strongly resisted having to change their rudimentary models to fit the new data - but the data was all telling the same story, so they had to change their models.
Yet that past conflicts with history, and God's word. You don't care if you have to shove around the model and toss around millions of imaginary years to try to make things fit. THAT is science.
That the observational evidence conflicts with biblical stories is not a problem for science, any more than flat-Earthers are a problem for science. Most Christians seem to accept that the biblical story of the creation wasn't meant, or can't be taken, literally. It's only a problem for those who believe it is literal. Puts me in mind of that Groucho quote: "Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?"
Now if you had data on an apple falling on Adam's head, we could talk about the similarity of gravity then and in newton's day.
Newton's Law of Gravitation works as well today as it did when he first proposed it. It's also been indispensable in modelling the multi-billion year history of the Earth and moon, the solar system, the galaxy, and beyond.
You can call the observed experienced collective knowledge of the spiritual for all time and history of man woolly if you like.
Thanks. It's woolly.

That is a fatal flaw. An Achilles tendon.

That is all internal agreement. Even in that imaginary place that they fabricated based on belief, the so called agreement is wildly off. Millions of years in cases.

The root cause was the same. They used the same faulty foundation and premise with increasing knowledge of atoms...so that the ratios could be measured better. None of it means anything at all without the same state past. Not the tree rings, which would have grown fast in the former nature, etc etc. It is actually comical once one is onto them.



That the observational evidence conflicts with biblical stories is not a problem for science, any more than flat-Earthers are a problem for science.
There is no observational evidence, there is only belief based heavy handed fanatical bias foisted onto the evidences. They put all evidences in the same state blender, and then declare it is a smooth drink.


Most Christians seem to accept that the biblical story of the creation wasn't meant, or can't be taken, literally.
That is because most do not really believe the bible. Simple. The wisdom of man inspired by Satan told then God was a liar and they believed it.


It's only a problem for those who believe it is literal. Puts me in mind of that Groucho quote: "Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?"
:) Get his eyes in the time of Adam and he can talk.
Newton's Law of Gravitation works as well today as it did when he first proposed it.
No surprise there, the state has been the same.

It's also been indispensable in modelling the multi-billion year history of the Earth and moon, the solar system, the galaxy, and beyond.
Thanks for confessing that. In other words they model the universe after some orchard where an apple fell.

Thanks. It's woolly.
Well I think you have been fleeced by science.

Why? Because you say so? You wouldn't be a very trustworthy investigator if you can't be convinced by observable evidence.

Provide evidence for your claim.

Wrong.

There are Christian's that are scientists. There are Christians on this board that understand and accept the theory of evolution. Thou shalt not bear false witness.

Well I think you have been fleeced by science.

You make extraordinary claims without providing evidence. I think you're being dishonest.

No there are oodles of examples of major revisions in the evilutiion string of fables.

"Recent analyses of de novo DNA mutations in modern humans have suggested a nuclear substitution rate that is approximately half that of previous estimates based on fossil calibration. This result has led to suggestions that major events in human evolution occurred far earlier than previously thought."

http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982213002157


"Our knowledge of human evolution is changing rapidly, as new fossils are discovered and described every year. Thirty years ago, it was generally accepted that humans and the great apes last shared a common ancestor perhaps 16-20 million years ago, and that the separate human branch was occupied by only a few species, each evolving from the one before. Now we know, through a combination of new fossil finds and molecular biology, that humans and chimpanzees diverged as little as 7 million years ago, and that our own lineage is "bushy", with many different species in existence at the same time."

"Nicholson et al. conclude that the ancestor of anoles diverged from their nearest relative 95 million years ago (mya) and that diversification to produce the eight major clades occurred 72-87 mya. These dates are far older than other estimates; three recent studies have pegged the split between Anolis and its sister taxa as occurring 25-80 mya."

There are Christian's that are scientists.
So what? Creation is still creation whether some would be brainiacs think they know better than God or not!


There are Christians on this board that understand and accept the theory of evolution. Thou shalt not bear false witness.
So? Many accept all sorts of vile sins and anti bible nonsense. I do not go by what some so called christians accept.

No there are oodles of examples of major revisions in the evilutiion string of fables.

"Recent analyses of de novo DNA mutations in modern humans have suggested a nuclear substitution rate that is approximately half that of previous estimates based on fossil calibration. This result has led to suggestions that major events in human evolution occurred far earlier than previously thought."

Quote mining the background huh? Did you even bother to read the entire paper. Nothing in there agrees with your claims.
Demonstrate that you understood 100% of the paper.

"Our knowledge of human evolution is changing rapidly, as new fossils are discovered and described every year. Thirty years ago, it was generally accepted that humans and the great apes last shared a common ancestor perhaps 16-20 million years ago, and that the separate human branch was occupied by only a few species, each evolving from the one before. Now we know, through a combination of new fossil finds and molecular biology, that humans and chimpanzees diverged as little as 7 million years ago, and that our own lineage is "bushy", with many different species in existence at the same time."

So you agree with this article that your timeline in your signature is very, very wrong?

"Nicholson et al. conclude that the ancestor of anoles diverged from their nearest relative 95 million years ago (mya) and that diversification to produce the eight major clades occurred 72-87 mya.

I have to say, i'm proud of you for actually doing some research. I hope you're learning something. As you can see, another article demonstrating your timeline to be incorrect. You are right, science corrects itself. It's how it gets a better understanding of the world. It's how we learn things. But props to you for doing research. None of those links you provided falsify evolution....they don't even try to. I hope you learned something though :). Are you getting closer to understanding why your timeline is incorrect?

So what? Creation is still creation whether some would be brainiacs think they know better than God or not!

My point was that you insulted them.

Evolution does not require someone to reject a God. I think there is even a biologist who is a Christian that posts on these boards. I wish I could remember their username. If they are browsing this thread, perhaps they'll reach out to you.

I do not go by what some so called christians accept.

This is a no true scotsman fallacy. It's also against site rules to suggest anyone is a "so called Christian" or "not a true Christian".

Not interested in the paper just the wild swings in your own claims. It would be cognitive dissonance to suggest that millions of years are not bandied about freely in revised new improved dates for evilution related old age claims of science.

No. Get a grip.

Don't think for a New York minute that I ever ever ever ever ever consider the stated dates as anything more than sick dementia. They mean less than nothing to me. I Only use your own dream date revisions as weapons against you. They do not agree with each other. To me that is like various sick dreams not agreeing with each other, I could not care less. But for those who take the same state past belief based dates seriously....you should give your heads a shake.

In other words, the ever changing lies of science inevitably must face correction and revision. We get it.

Are you getting closer to understanding why your timeline is incorrect?
No. It is above your paygrade.

My point was that you insulted them.
Opinions of folks who do not believe the bible are of no matter at all to me. None. I don't care if they call themselves ducks, saints, wise men, or christians.


Evolution does not require someone to reject a God.
When evolving, which was a God given created trait, is taken to the level where they credit it with life on earth, that IS rejecting God.

I think there is even a biologist who is a Christian that posts on these boards. I wish I could remember their username. If they are browsing this thread, perhaps they'll reach out to you.
If they had smarts they would now be in hiding.

Christian smistian. The issue is Scripture and belief. Not who wants to be seen as a christian for some reason. get over it.
