  • 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.

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    a month since my last post, and i finally have both the time and the willpower to reply again! the video assumes that the core-to-ring speed is not the same as the supernova-to-Earth speed whatever you prefer. either way you end up being correct, provided you use your imagination. well no, it...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    since when do they have to be the same? the video assumes the two speeds to be different, and things turn out alright i'm not entirely sure if i'm missing something here, but i'm going to go ahead and apply this to your concept of multiple spreading present states. i said earlier that there...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    it means everything, if the speed of light was uniform. the light can be moving at any speed at all, and it'll still only travel 2/3 of a lightyear in eight months. the distance that a lightyear measures depends on the speed that light travels at. it does, because that's what we observe, and...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    you're focusing on the wrong thing again. the distance from the ring to the core not only appears to be 2/3 of a lightyear, it is 2/3 of a lightyear. you dropped the idea that light moved a non-uniform speed, remember? or you can watch the intro again. i'm in no mood to type it up verbatim you...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    not important, drop it please can you think of a better explanation for the systematic brightening and darkening of the ring? it's incredibly unlikely that light from the core is not responsible for this, even by your standards it appears to us to travel that distance in 2/3 of the year. the...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    you're fully aware that i never posited that i imagine that one wouldn't know, but that's a complete non-issue. "if all speeds became the present light," as you're now suggesting, that would make you incorrect regarding your explanation for the distance of the supernova, which i believe is still...

    it can be pixie dust for all i care. the only thing that matters is that whatever it was didn't have a uniform speed. don't bother addressing the unimportant stuff. okay

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    i'll reiterate. you already suggested that the speed of the former light is not uniform. what this implies for us observers is that different photons of light from the same source can reach us at different times. this is how you explained away the supernova problem. if you change your story now...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    yes, but it wouldn't appear uniform because it predates your state change. thus far, you've agreed that the distant universe is a window of sorts to your past state. you can't have it both ways. i'm not saying that your theories are impossible, just that they're wacky even by creationist...

    another threadful of assumptions well, you found some of history anyway. there's still an awful lot left prior to 4400 B.C. that you haven't come to terms with yet. that's a topic for another time, though. nothing, i know better than to ask for much :I according to you, light at the "advent of...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    the moment you find real evidence for any of your theories, give me a call. make sure it isn't just speculation first though, you've been known to get the two confused occasionally i am questioning it, and you still haven't given an interpretable answer; if light used to move whatever speed it...

    i had a feeling you'd say that. fine anytime now! i don't think i'll enquire further on this one so the night sky is partially a moving frozen picture with blinking lights that appears to be going backwards in time. got it. wait, no i don't. explain how time can appear to be both backwards...

    the changing speed of light. dad, this thread is for you

    dunno, but we've already established that the supernova is in your past state, so we don't need to worry about that on second thought, now that we've come full-circle, the last thing i need is more things to argue about. gonna chicken out on this one, if you don't mind got it. out of curiosity...
