  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Where are the young earthers.....

I think it's called the Day-Age Theory.

In addition, some believe, as do I, that in the first three days of creation, God created the firmaments; and in the last three days of creation, He populated them.

That doesn't work because on day 3 you have plant's and trees and vegetation before day 4 the sun the moon the stars.
the sun the moon the stars must be the first thing on that creation list or at least lining up with the day and the night.

Do you think maybe photosynthesis could occur with another form of energy than from the sun?

For instance, Shekinah energy from the Son?

Revelation 21:23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

There are about 10 billion galaxies in the observable universe! The number of stars in a galaxy varies, but assuming an average of 100 billion stars per galaxy means that there are about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that's 1 billion trillion) stars in the observable universe!

-Altair is the closest at 16.6 light years and it is about 1.5 times the size of the sun.
-Vega is about 2.5 times as large as the sun, but it 25 light years away.
-Deneb is the largest at about 120 times the size of the sun, but it is 1550 light years away.
the gravity of all these things are holding the universe together.

If the plants and earth are there at day 3 before the sun stars and planets. then they show up. everything would blow up.
if the earth is less than 10 thousand years old we would not be able to see Deneb star at 1550 light years away.

What does this have to do with angiosperms being created before the sun?

don't really think angiosperms can be there if the day 4 hasn't happened.
plants were in the first 3 days of creation. the sun the moon the stars are in the last three days of creation day 4.
That's what you said. Just pointing out It is wrong.
Your really wanting day 4, 1 and 2 to be populated by day 3, 5, 6.

For my part at least it's not flack; it's astonishment.

No, some of the more abuse I've received in person and on some forums has been from old earthers who don't like the idea that a person such as I do not accept the Darwinian evolutionary theory and the radio active dating that tries to support an old earth.

'Astonishment' is your attempt at emotional abuse. I'll not engage further if you take this approach.

ok well I didn't quite understand what you were saying and what your order was.
Yes I agree with the Framework Interpretation.

I particularly like what this points out
""The Genesis author was simply writing in the ‘politically-correct’ Cosmo genic and prose-narrative style of that day. Thus, the Genesis 1 text was not meant to represent a sequential order of creation or one that needs to fit with modern science. It was simply the literary way that writers of that day wrote down their narrative thoughts. In other words, God gave the revelation to the people mentioned in Genesis, but then the biblical authors wrote this revelation down in their own literary style.""

Whether the framework was intended to be scientific or not. In that framework, it does fit in with what evolution and the big bang or modern science is saying.

Why not try to reply with a few facts?

That was not required in my response. It was simply a matter of identification. You are asking for more than was required of me in the OP.

The title of this thread is, 'Where are the young earthers?' I answered this question in the positive. That is all that was asked of me. The question was not, If you are a young earther, will you please defend your position?

Bye,
Oz

Could you show your reasoning, please? What mutation rate would be required to explain human diversity in the case of a tight bottleneck within the last ten thousand years? How does this compare with the observed mutation rate in humans? What would the recombination rate have to be for a tight bottleneck to be consistent with the observed levels of linkage disequilibrium? What would the site frequency spectrum look like for a rapidly increasing population? How does this compare to the observed site frequency spectrum?

Does that answer the question? It seems like all he's doing is saying that the generally accepted data is wrong because of "notoriously unreliable radiometric dating techniques". Has he done his own research or is he just trying to pick holes in the work of others?

He finishes off his 'research' with -

"All molecular-clock calculations require the observer to invoke assumptions about the past, and these Science study authors selected assumptions that fit their predetermined ideas about deep time. In the process, they relied on other disciplines saturated with evolution-friendly conjectures, and their reasoning became decidedly circular. How much better it is to start with the assumptions of Scripture, which plainly describes a recent and literal Adam and Eve, than with the ever-changing speculation of sinful man."

He sounds like 'Dad' and his different state past.

Sadly I'll never get the 10 minutes of my life back that I spent reading that rubbish.

I've read it previously. Now that we've both read it, could you please answer the questions?

What would the recombination rate have to be for a tight bottleneck to be consistent with the observed levels of linkage disequilibrium?

Emotional abuse? You can believe whatever you like but YEC views do surprise me - which is why I said astonishment.

Don't go around accusing me or others of abuse, please. Not very nice.
