How did they move the great stones of the pyramid?

Argument from incredulity.

Also, Solved! How Ancient Egyptians Moved Massive Pyramid Stones

Seems to me a different state in the past would make it easier!

Once again, you can't invoke a DSP to make up for your lack of imagination and basic Googling skills.

I could claim that there must have been a DSP in 1708 - how else could they have had the huge unsupported dome constructed on St Paul's Cathedral in London? Or perhaps they put it up there in one huge piece? How could they lift something that big? There must have been a different state until at least 1708 to allow them to build that!

How did people fly, if they did in the past? Some suspect man may have flown with the big drawings in Peru and such evidences. A different state would allow it.

Hot air balloons? There are quite a few people who support that idea. The Theory of Jim Woodman - Science in the Sand

Of course, such ideas aren't really required, as many of the designs can be seen from nearby hills, so people didn't need to be able to fly, they just needed to be able to climb. In any case, people have been able to easily find ways to create large designs on the ground that are most clearly seen from the air, despite the fact that the people who make the designs are not utilising flight in any way. The folks who make crop circles spring to mind.

How about the giant birds that flew?

And what giant birds are they? Can you show me fossils?

A DSP is simpler than exotic explanations of crawling up a hill to get airborn etc etc.

Wow! Not only do you invoke a complete change of the laws of the nature, but you claim that such a massive change is a SIMPLER explanation than climbing a hill! And you claim that climbing a hill is "exotic" while I suppose you consider a complete rewrite of the laws of the universe perfectly ordinary?

I'm sorry, but I've gotta call Poe on this.

How about the spirits that Egypt claimed lived with men? A DSP allows that.

Provide a source for this claim please?

How the long life spans recorded by Sumer? A DSP allows that also.

Except we already did this and you said you considered the ages wrong. So if you consider the ages wrong, you have no idea how long they lived for, do you? And thus you have no justification for claiming that such claims support your position.

How about the various extinctions in the fossil record? A DSP and changing world after the flood explain that.

But a same state past and an ancient world explain it as well, and without the need to break Occam's razor.

How about Adam's kids having babies with relatives? A DSP explains that.

I'm sorry, but who? Remember, no Bible!

Because while my fingers are a part of me, they are not entirely me. If a dog was to bite off one of my fingers and eat it, would you say, "Oh no! Kylie was eaten by a dog!" Of course not.
I can mathematically prove you have eleven fingers.

Since there are three Persons that are God, I guess Jesus is part of God also then. Hardly a tool as you suggested.


I have no evidence that the Bible is wrong? How about this, from just the other day?

Scientists just disproved a historical event described in the Bible
From your link

"While the Bible says they were wiped out by the Israelites under Joshua in the land of Canaan, later passages suggest there were at least a few survivors."

Ha

That is just one of many pieces of evidence from the real world that shows that the Bible is wrong.
Chapter and verse where the bible says that Israel sucessfully and obediently destroyed every person in Canaan?

Yes, I'm sure that Moses and his contemporaries needed all those instructions on how to properly slaughter an animal as a sacrifice to God so the Almighty wouldn't get upset.
The sacrificing was for them. It showed that Salvation was coming one day from the Lamb of God.


Of course, you're right. Not a single Christian is out there looking for miracles, are they? Or perhaps you suggest God routinely appears as a burning bush, but is dismayed to find that there are no people around to see it?

Many lives are ought but a long series of miracles. It occurs to me that people who are dead to the things and life of God would not see a lot that goes on. Once people are born of the Spirit, they start to see.

Isaiah 43:7: everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.”
Seems to me God is talking to Jacob, or Israel. It talks of the time He will bring them back to the land, and that this will glorify God.
Psalm 100:2: Serve the Lord with gladness!

Man must serve someone...ask Bob Dylan.
Jos 24:15 -And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Part of serving such gods in Cannan was sacrificing childeren...burning them alive.

"In 1955 the late Australian archaeologist John Basil Hennessy excavated a Late Bronze Age (13th century B.C.E.) building he identified as a temple near the airport in Amman, Jordan. In the center of the solidly built structure were two circular flat stones, one on top of the other, that the excavator identified as an altar with which a large number of burnt offerings were associated, including pottery, 50 pieces of gold jewelry, small bronze pins, scarabs and cylinder seals. In the words of the excavator, “The most surprising feature of all in the final analysis of the material is that the several thousands of small bone fragments are almost exclusively [over 90 percent] human … There can be little doubt that a major concern of the ritual at the Amman airport temple was the burning of human bodies.”1 Hennessey’s general impression was that the bones represented an “immature group.” One was of a youth 14 to 18 years of age."

First Person: Human Sacrifice to an Ammonite God? - Biblical Archaeology Society

Ecclesiastes 12:13: The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. (In case you need to be reminded, the Ten Commandments contain several commandments about worshiping God, such as having no other gods before him, not using his name in vain, and keeping the Sabbath holy as a day of worship.)
Loving God as we live life and go through the day is a great thing.
Matthew 22:37-38: And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment.
Love is a great thing. If that is what you mean by worship, fine. I guess you worship your mom?
1 Corinthians 10:31: So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
In this life as a believer we should try to do stuff that has some relation to what Jesus wants us to do.
And the many phrases in the Bible that say things like, "Praise the Lord!"
Amen.


I am perfectly capable of posting it. I have, in fact, done so in the past. However, you have shown each time that you will ignore that evidence, and so I see no reason now to waste my time. Because I doubt you have changed your tune.
You can't, you haven't. For example, prove there was radioactive decay in the early days of earth and man? You have not done this in any way. Yet you toss out that decay as evidence. Then you can't reply when confronted and asked to support the things you offer as supposed evidences.


Specifically you said that those who claim to be believers but hold the scientific explanation of how the world came about to be more accurate than the Biblical explanation.

So, according to you, any person who claims to be a Christian but accepts the scientific account of the formation of the world instead of accepting the creationist account isn't really a Christian! Is that what you are trying to say?
If we believe man over God, we are not believing what He said. I am not here to discuss who or what is christian . I did mention the bible talks about the world and man being created from cover to cover. I have never seen a bible case worth beans that challenges that.


Once again, you demand that I present something other than my beliefs, despite the fact that you have never done anything more than present your beliefs.
It is not my belief that history and the bible exist. It is not my belief that no one has proven a same state past, or that science uses a same state past in origins models. It is demonstrated fact. Since I also say science can't support either a same or different nature in the past, asking me to do so with science is disingenuous. Since you reject the bible and historical evidences, we are left with nothing but you needed to admit you don't know!

Are you really trying to say that Matthew 17:20 is a description of erosion?

REALLY?
No. I would interpret it as a prophesy about when the state changes i the future and probably the continents go back together, and the mountain building we saw in the past when they separated gets reversed! In any case, mountains will be leveled one day and fast. It will be frightful for those alive on earth I suspect it may be about the time men call to the rocks to fall on them and kill them out of fear ot what is happening.

https://www.livescience.com/45285-how-egyptians-moved-pyramid-stones.html Your argument is just one trying to imagine present state ways that it could happen. Pot meet kettle.

Or perhaps they put it up there in one huge piece? How could they lift something that big? There must have been a different state until at least 1708 to allow them to build that!
No real comparison.

Total conjecture and an attempt to explain it using present nature.

f course, such ideas aren't really required, as many of the designs can be seen from nearby hills, so people didn't need to be able to fly, they just needed to be able to climb.
Maybe. But that seems unlikely that they would go to such ridiculous lengths to make them just to be seen on a hill.

In any case, people have been able to easily find ways to create large designs on the ground that are most clearly seen from the air, despite the fact that the people who make the designs are not utilising flight in any way. The folks who make crop circles spring to mind.

No real comparison.

And what giant birds are they? Can you show me fossils?

Yes.

" roughly as long as a school bus packed full of small children"
"With wings so long, though, what remained unclear was how exactly it achieved liftoff – the wings were simply too long to flap fast enough from a standstill to get airborne. "

https://www.usnews.com/news/article...-a-prehistoric-dragon-found-in-south-carolina

Wow! Not only do you invoke a complete change of the laws of the nature, but you claim that such a massive change is a SIMPLER explanation than climbing a hill!
Every big bird climbed a mountain or hill when wanting to fly? Ha. They couldn't even get out of the water apparently like a seagull can. So why invoke imaginary ways that they could fly in our nature?



Provide a source for this claim please?

"
The Turin Kinglist, also known as the Turin Royal Canon, is a unique papyrus, written in hieratic, currently in the Egyptian Museum at Turin, to which it owes its modern name.

It is broken into over 160 often very small fragments, many of which have been lost. When it was discovered in the Theban necropolis by the Italian traveller Bernardino Drovetti in 1822, it seems to have been largely intact, but by the time it became part of the collection of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, its condition had severely deteriorated.



Turin Kinglist



The importance of this papyrus was first recognized by the French Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion, who, later followed by Gustavus Seyffarth took up its reconstruction and restoration. Although they succeeded in placing most of the fragments in the correct order, the diligent intervention of these two men came too late and many lacunae to thus important papyrus still remain.

Written during the long reign of Ramesses II, the papyrus, now estimated at 1.7m long and 0.41m high, comprises on the recto an unknown number of pages that hold a list of names of persons and institutions, along with what appears to be the tax-assessment of each.

It is, however, the verso of the papyrus that has attracted the most attention, as it contains a list of gods, demi-gods, spirits, mythical and human kings who ruled Egypt from the beginning of time presumably until the composition of this valuable document."


Egypt Kings Lists

Except we already did this and you said you considered the ages wrong.
While not reliable for exact ages, the records definitely indicates great life spans at one time. This is evidence.

But a same state past and an ancient world explain it as well, and without the need to break Occam's razor.
Not really.


I'm sorry, but who? Remember, no Bible!
We don't need you to allow Scripture as evidence. Denial is futile.

How about Adam's kids having babies with relatives?

The Bible doesn't actually say that Cain or Seth married their sisters or other close relatives. It's an inference from a literalistic interpretation of the Bible. Perhaps God made Cain's wife out of one of his ribs.

Nothing like that was mentioned. To Adam and Eve he said be fruitful and multiply. Just as with birds and animals, that meant that they should have kids and kids have kids etc. Do we hear you claiming that God took the toe of a bullfrog to make a female? No. The whole concept of inventing miracles or new creatures or etc etc for multiplying is silly, and wholly made up. Just because some people have an aversion to the stated truth and record of the bible is no reason to tell whoppers.

Your profile says atheist. Would you not agree it is better to either take the bible for what it is or totally reject it as fiction, rather than manufacture lame stories and insert things into it trying to make it conform to science? I would call that sort of thing lukewarm.

Haven't you read the story of the creation of Eve in Genesis 2:21-23? If God could make Eve out of one of Adam's ribs, what was to prevent him from making a wife for Cain out of one of Cain's ribs?

How about Adam's kids having babies with relatives? A DSP explains that.

How is 'Adam's kids having babies with relatives' evidence for a different state past? Also, Adam's kids weren't the only people to do that. Several of the Ptolemaic kings of Egypt married their sisters and had children with them. Lord Byron (1788-1824) may have had a daughter with his half-sister. Neither of these required a DSP.

Your profile says atheist. Would you not agree it is better to either take the bible for what it is or totally reject it as fiction, rather than manufacture lame stories and insert things into it trying to make it conform to science? I would call that sort of thing lukewarm.

Yes, I agree; it was a very silly post on my part. Of course I don't believe the stories of Adam and Eve, or of Cain and his wife, or of Eve being created out of Adam's rib.

The point is that this whole business of Cain's wife has gone from one level of silliness to another as Biblical literalists have tried to evade the obvious fact that the story is totally fiction.

I suppose that it started with a sceptic asking the rhetorical question, 'Who was Cain's wife?' to point out the absurdity of supposing that Adam and Eve and their children were the only people in the world. Instead of admitting the point, the literalists said, without a ha'p'orth of evidence from the Bible, that Cain married his sister. When the genetic disadvantages of this were pointed out, the literalists said, again without a ha'p'orth of evidence from either science or the Bible, that the human genome was created perfect and that it has degenerated since the Fall. Now you are saying that Cain's incestuous marriage, for which, as I say, there is not a scrap of direct evidence, is explained by a different state past. How many more levels of silliness do we have to descend to before you and other Biblical literalists are willing to admit the obvious fact that lies behind this whole absurd argument, that the stories of Adam and Eve, and of Cain and his wife, are totally fictitious?

The issue is not what He could do.


How is 'Adam's kids having babies with relatives' evidence for a different state past?
Genetics today doesn't allow that.

Also, Adam's kids weren't the only people to do that. Several of the Ptolemaic kings of Egypt married their sisters and had children with them. Lord Byron (1788-1824) may have had a daughter with his half-sister. Neither of these required a DSP.
There is a reason it is illegal. The offspring are in danger.

It is real.

I suppose that it started with a sceptic asking the rhetorical question, 'Who was Cain's wife?' to point out the absurdity of supposing that Adam and Eve and their children were the only people in the world.
Nothing absurd about it, Man sharing a common ancestor with worms is absurd.
Instead of admitting the point, the literalists said, without a ha'p'orth of evidence from the Bible, that Cain married his sister.
That is obvious.

When the genetic disadvantages of this were pointed out, the literalists said, again without a ha'p'orth of evidence from either science or the Bible, that the human genome was created perfect and that it has degenerated since the Fall.
A DSP is a better explanation.

Now you are saying that Cain's incestuous marriage, for which, as I say, there is not a scrap of direct evidence, is explained by a different state past.
Of course a past with a different nature allows that better than the present nature, where we see it doesn't work. Why call God a liar just because the past recorded in Scripture doesn't fit into this state?

We have looked at how you come to distances. You use a ruler of time that you got in the solar system, and try to extend it to infinity as if it represented time everywhere for NO reason. Even in spectral parallax and etc it is the same deal. You look at an orbit or brightness or luminosity and try to use that for distance. No? The ways you do it are more circular than orbits!
...spectral parallax?? What's that? As for Time here and there, we have no reason not to use the same laws of physics and theory of relativity throughout the universe because it works. YOU have NO reason and NO predictive models to support your assertion that time is different/non existent there.... so given the models we have work just fine, it's incumbent on you to support your assertion that it is in fact otherwise.
Your failed predictions do not help you. All other predictions are circular and often after the fact. It is you claiming time is the same that is used in all models, not me asking if time is the same. You make the claim. I ask for evidence.
So, no evidence as expected. Well, safely discarded then...
So time as we know it is needed to see anything? How does that work?
I'm beginning to think you've never been to school.

Do you accept that sound waves compress and stretch depending on the source of that sound coming and going? You know, the Doppler effect? Do you also accept that we can't hear ultra low frequency as well as ultra high frequencies (think dog whistle for example)? If we could, instead of a doppler effect through motion of a sound source, have a sound source stationary but in a pocket of spacetime that's ticking by half as fast as we experience it outside. Now, do you accept that the sound we hear would be an octave lower in frequency than what we would be hearing if the source was in our time? Another way to think of it - when you could play an old vinyl record and slow the turntable to half its rate of spin, this is the same effect we would hear from the sound source experiencing time half as fast as we do.

So, Light works in exactly the same way as sound does. That's to say, short wavelength light (similar to hight frequency sound) is in the blue spectrum and long wavelength light (similar to low frequency sound) is in the red part of the spectrum. If the source of that light is experiencing time half that of what we experience, then the light waves traversing from half speed time there entering our full speed time here would be stretched by half, resulting in a redshift of visible light into undetectable-to-the-naked-eye infra-red and longer wavelength light. That's it!

A side note to help you understand the spectrum, light is just a visible form of electromagnetic radiation. Invisible forms of electromagnetic radiation are just like the visible forms of electromagnetic radiation however we don't see them. They include ultra-violet, infra red, microwaves, radio waves, gamma radiation, heat radiation, etc. Here's a link to all the information you require but won't acknowledge because you know you're wrong: Electromagnetic Radiation - Also this click-through page from the previous link that you also won't acknowledge, goes into detail about how electricity, magnetism and light are interrelated and why we see light redshift and blueshift and how we use spectroscopy to find out all kinds of things about stars all over the universe because of atomic theory and our understanding of physics and quantum mechanics: Electromagnetic Radiation - and Lastly, here is the information that gives you all the connecting information connecting light, it even shows you the visible spectrum compared to the other forms of electromagnetic radiation (very, very small in comparison to the spectrum of sound we can hear...) and even goes into how all electromagnetic radiation necessarily requires time (like everything else) to be anything in the first place: Electromagnetic Radiation . Lastly, this is an excellent page to read up on black body radiation and how it correlates with our models of physics, atomic theory and quantum mechanics: How are Spectra Produced?

I hold a remote hope you get it, but I wouldn't be surprised if you fail all over the place yet again...
Of course it would be. The things we see here are here. The way light divides here, or acts here has nothing to do with time there,
It absolutely does, in the same way sound would if it were soundwaves heading between frames of time to us here. If light didn't depend on time like everything else, then we wouldn't see redshifting or blueshifting light anywhere at all.
Soon as you explain why you think we need time as time exists here to see something, we can look at your question. The star still exists, so why or how would we NOT see it? The issue is what time is like where the star is. You see all stars IN time HERE. You do not look at time here to determine time elsewhere. Especially since you do not even know what time is!
As above
Name the instances you speak about. What exactly matches how? I think you mean it seems to match.
Sure. goto the examples on this page I pointed out earlier about black body radiation: How are Spectra Produced?
That is why I challenge the ignorant models you preach.
:D LOOOOOL! Challenge?? You fail to grasp the basic concepts discussed here so hard that I'm convinced you don't even have arms or legs to grasp with!
Show how the distances are determined as to what is farther. Show how space and time could not redshift light? You likely have no idea what you are seeing. You simply assign things to what we see based on a belief system with no verifiable evidence at all.
discarded with prejudice, I've explained this so many times in so many ways that your continuing to ask is just admission you're determined to not learn.
So what? How long till we see a full rotation of said galaxy? What independent collaboration do you have that the light shifting means movement the direction you claim? Even if a galaxy does rotate in a way the leaves redshift in part of it, it still comes doen to what caused that redshift to begin with. For example, if some stretching of space affected the light at creation, or/and time, how would we determine that now?
Well, given how far away everything is, if it were stretched out to where they are now around 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, we wouldn't see them and wouldn't know about them so therefore we wouldn't even need to determine that now. Solved!
Define realtime!!?
while we watch.
You really thought that? Ha. Black holes? When we see things 'falling into' a certain area of space, you might assume it has to be a black hole..as per the way you theorize a black hole would be. You might think there has to be a lot of dark stuff to explain what you think are gravity caused movements in space. Ever consider it may not be gravity or gravity alone that causes it? Ever consider that there is something else you are not aware of yet that actually causes what you thought was all due to gravity? Ever consider that you reqally don't know, but have merely tried to fit all things into your puny little belief system?
We've watched stars collapse into black holes. Good luck with that!
Since you never considered anything else, remember, all you do is force a match by hook or by crook, by fitting it all into your belief system.
If we had a reason to suspect something else was going on, we'd look into it. Nothing's out of place, so we're good. Another of your crash-and-burns we can set aside as uncontested...
Your models REQUIRE time for distances and mass and etc. Yet you still model as if distances existed as you think of them etc. You have been too busy running in the wrong direction, to stop and think.
Well, this is another non-contest argument from the rafters of 'I Don't Like It!' - set aside too...
Name one? How about the prediction of a black hoe in sn1987a? Let's see it? Ha.
Well, we're still observing sn1987a, so if something interesting happens, then it'll popup on newsfeeds... here's a recent update from Nasa - HubbleSite: News - The Dawn of a New Era for Supernova 1987A - we've not seen too many black holes happen so it's still something we're learning about.
Obfuscation. Predicting things about billions of imaginary years can never be proven.
Except of course the things we've predicted - namely things that are billions of light years away from us....
The 100% proven prophesies of the bible predicted the life and death of Christ, every major kingdom, the fall of Greece, and Persia, and Babylon, and others. It predicted the 70 year captivity of Israel and etc etc etc. It is the king of predictions.
I can't say I've heard of any predictions. The bible isn't clear on any predictions either - they're all vague enough to be read into a great many things post-fact and what specific predictions it does talk about, it gets wrong.
Show any distance to any star that does not rest on the belief that time exists the same all the way there?
For the thousand-and-first time, Parallax.
False. You have no clue what would happen if time did not exist. Be honest.
Of course we do!
Here...yes. Everything here involves time because time exists HERE!
...and necessarily exists anywhere
Looking at wiki we see this

"In physics, the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave is the spatial period of the wave—the distance over which the wave's shape repeats.."

Distance and time are involved in a wavelength. We see light here where we measure things using time. Light here in time is in wave form, for example....
...yes, yes, I think you might get it now, carry on...
Since we have never seen light anywhere ELSE but here in time, how can we talk of what it may be like there??
The waves and distances in time here must behave a certain way. All light coming here gets 'translated' (for lack of a better term) into waves or whatever we see here.
BAM!!! DISCARDED!!! That's a Foul of the highest order! Here, you're invoking Magic, or some transcended beyond fairytale land assertion with no foundation of any conceivable type, so now we can confidently say you're plucking pucky out your ...... imagination. This is an LSD Trip you're on here, there are no grounds whatsoever for this "I-wish-I-could-Smart-because-I-have-the-dumb!" reply you just posted here for the entire world to see! Seriously, read what you wrote, do you honestly think that rubbish passes even your muster?? :D roflol!
Bingo!! You see stars acting a certain way and assume we need a black hole to account for it!
That, and we see x-ray radiation from matter being shredded at the event horizon, or immense gamma ray bursts when they collide. We're actually pretty good at finding black holes these days… Here’s an article for the layman on a new intermediary sized black hole – let me know if you’d like to peruse the peer reviewed paper associated with it: Astronomers Just Found More Evidence of a New Type of Black Hole
Bingo. We see a light shift and as we know shifting to happen on earth, we imagine that causes shifting there. We know on earth a certain time is involved in that redshifting...etc. When we see redshift out where maybe no time exists....we have no idea what is really going on. It is ALL earth based belief based modelling of the unknown.
As already discussed ad-nauseum, no time = no light. We’ve seen this upheld through Einstein’s Theory of Relativity when black holes are observed chomping down on stars and other matter. Provide evidence otherwise...
The fishbowl of this solar system cannot be used to represent the universe. Because there IS time here. You have tried to project the realities of the fishbowl onto all creation, and have done so in a godless way.
There IS time out there too because observations wouldn’t be possible let alone exactly what we expect to see using Relativity.
Vainity and wishful thinking. You have not progressed to any star!
Discarded for lack of substance.
What you know should have evidence...it doesn't. You have shown that in spades.
Discarded for lack of substance.
Baloney. Name one such prediction that predicts what the far universe is like?. You have been dreaming and making stuff up actually.
You wish I was, so let me slap that down quick-smart… Here’s an interesting information webpage someone did back in 2002, it explains quite a number of predictions and observations already made back then – but something you should look at is the pre WMAP modelled image there, it’s only small but it shows four resulting models of various predictions posited and awaiting return of WMAP data due the year after. There’s a prediction for you…: http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~gmackie/BigBang/universe.htm

That of course is a niche one, but Einstein predicted a stack of things, including black holes (which we’ve verified repeatedly despite your “I-Don’t-Like-It!” mantra), gravity waves, that we can observe galaxies spinning via red/blue shifting spirals, heck, even neutrinos! http://scienceblogs.com/startswitha...the-big-bangs-last-great-prediction-synopsis/ There’s entirely too much confirming observation in support of the standard model that any other contention is literally uneducated ignorance – although in your case, I fear ignorance is bliss...
What ridiculous rubbish!
God made stars to be seen. No Einstein needed. Name a reason why time has to exist where stars are for us to see them here?
Emission of Light and Radiation. Your made up stuff about translating some non-form non-time magic something, something, something into electromagnetic radiation will be discarded as uncontested.
We see light here in a certain way. Time exists here, so we see stars in time. What reason would there be for star light to look differently after entering our time and space zone?
Without time, electromagnetic radiation doesn’t exist.
Stop referring to your great predictive powers and put the example on the table!
Given already.
Yes, I refuted distances to stars, and showed it involves using our time to get distances.
Nope, As presented a trillion times already. If there’s some other mystical not-time thing going on, then it’s incumbent on YOU to demonstrate it. That’s an uphill battle because all of our predictive models, theories and evidence shows beyond any reasonable doubt that time is pervasive and not only that, but is literally an inseparable part of the fabric of this universe.
Good start.
The bible. Since science has no clue, we can go with that.
The bible isn’t a science book. It doesn’t tell us anything about the observations we make in this universe. Your quip about science not knowing anything is absurdness of the highest order and therefore discarded. Nowhere in the Bible does it say when creation allegedly occurred.
NOTHING you provided does not rely on needing to know distances. If so, what was it? Ha. You seem to be resorting to an urgent apeal to us to just believe time exists in the far universe with NO reason or support. All you offered FIRST assumed time existed there, and built distances and mass, and all things on that. I can safely say the universe science thought existed is imaginary.
Time exists there because of the emission of electromagnetic waves. That’s reason all on its own – not to speak of seeing things at distance doing things. I can’t fathom the depths of stupidity in your ignorance… it’s impossible to be this deluded unless you’re doing it on purpose…. In fact, I’m beginning to think perhaps you’re actually an Atheists hell-bent on making creationists look as uneducated and ignorant as humanly possible, because the levels of disconnect with reality shown here are off the scale...
Maybe start by googling the failed predictions of cosmology?
...which pale into insignificance when compared to the universe full of predictive models, accurate theories and observations we have now.
Where is Jesus? He is where He can be found by those who seek, and the way to find Him has zero to do with godless lying so called science.
So you admit then that Science and Jesus aren’t interrelated? I could accept Jesus without having to drop reality off at the door, along with critical thinking, education and for that matter, my brain? Your system of binary belief is simply untenable. If you think you could win converts to your faith by spouting all this mind-numbing science-opposing diarrhoea, I hate to break it to you but it’ll be an epic failure of the highest order.
No way for you to show us that redshifting is caused only the way you claim or that things converge in space only due to black holes, or that the actual reasons gravity doesn't explain the stars is because of dark stuff...etc etc. Your belief system that was falsely called science is baseless nonsense rather than objective reality.
Well, I’ve given you so much information , links, layman explanations, peer-reviewed research – and I’m not the only one either, there’s been hundreds, if not thousands of forum members here that have preceded me in this effort, all for nought. I know you’re never going to get it and I hold hope that you’re simply a victim of well-entrenched dogma, but it’s hard to find that line between persistence and futility. I justify it because lurkers (as I once was) will be enlightened greatly by your display of weapons-grade ignorance.
The only thng making it look old is stubborn baseless beliefs and a determined willful effort to religiously look at the universe through the lenses of a godless fishbowl.
...religiously ~ through the lens of godless fishbowl?? :D Discarded!
So you say.

Looking at the basics used in supposed distances I notice this..

"When distances to nearby stars were found using trigonometric parallaxes in the late 19th and early 20th century, it became possible to study the luminosities of stars. Einar Hertzsprung and Henry Norris Russell both plotted stars on a chart of luminosity and temperature. Most stars fall on a single track, known as the Main Sequence, in this diagram, which is now known as the H-R diagram after Hertzsprung and Russell"

Seems like it depends on distances determined by the trig parallax eh? Round and round we go.
Oh, for pete’s sake… I’m not saying you can’t read, or fail at comprehension, but Luminosity and Spectroscopy are two very different things. Luminosity would require distance and diameter to be known, which is why parallax measurements to close stars with observable diameters are our benchmark for luminosity based distance/diameter calculations. Remember back to that basic algebra refresher, if we can derive these values through other methods (and we can, your protests that we can’t are always unfounded) then a luminosity measurement is useful for any number of calculations irrespective distance.

Now, a Spectroscopy is a different thing entirely, and not dependent on distance. It is however dependent on the underlying fabric of time being a consistent thing – if it weren’t then we wouldn’t be able to get a spectroscopy in the first place, let alone the incredibly information rich ones we do get. Links have been provided so many times before that you should just go back and click on a few and read them… you won’t blow up, or melt, or otherwise disintegrate by just reading & learning btw… have a go.
Who wrote that rule? Gabriel came from the heaven of heavens to Daniel in the bible in no time at all. Also, if there were a different degree or amount of time per space in the far universe, whatever moved would still move, it just would not involve the same time!
Relativity and Quantum Mechanics is what tells us this. I’ve already explained this to you too – and offered you links that explain it better and more in depth than would be warranted here – I’ve already chewed up huge sections of forum mansplaining things that you could easy google and learn yourself, so I’m not doing it all again. Go click on something I’ve already given you & read that.
Yes, light moves in whatever time that the space it is in dictates I would assume.
If light moved in different time till it got to the area of the solar system here, (where it would then start to move in our time and space) we would not know. The only way we determine light 'would take' billions of years to move is by looking at how it moves HERE!!!!!!!!
Of course we would, and do know. Einstein’s Relativity allows us to model it, and it’s done routinely by cosmologists and astronomers the world over all the time. The doppler effect is something I’ve already explained to you, half time there would mean we don’t see the light here because it would be outside our viewable spectrum. Same with time being twice as fast there than here, outside what we could see. If time didn’t exist at all there, then no light would be emitted (because nothing would be happening there to emit light in the first place) so the argument isn’t even a starter. i.e. your hypothesis is so wrong that it’s not even wrong. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong
Name one prediction about time in the far universe that has been verified!!?
redshifted spectra.
It doesn't disgust me because of what I do not understand, but because of what I do understand!
Geat! Sound’s like you might have evidence about something you believe? Let’s hear it then...
We are not talking about our sun! Our sun is in our time and space.
As is everything else because our models derived locally and extrapolated out to even verifiably close, but still distant stars match perfectly, and modelling further out to distant stellar objects still return verifiable and accurate to what we would expect to see results!
No way. You use a swath of time and space as a baseline. Admit it.
Parallax doesn’t require time, so tough. Admit it, you have nothing, do you? No need to answer, I know it’ll be as non-sensical as smelling the colour nine.
Nope. You can't measure diameter without distance. Simply seeing a star is a fraction of a mm in diameter can't help you.
except we can and do determine distance to nearby stars we can measure diameters of using parallax, which doesn’t require time.
So?? Who asked how big or hot the sun was?
Scientists and researchers who make actual discoveries about our universe do.
As explained NO you can't. You need distances. No luminosity has meaning without that. We could also get into WHY stars are a certain color, or apparent energy.. Ha. Your whole idea of the inside of a star is bad religion. Temperature...etc etc. What if a star worked some other way? Remember they used to claim it was (if I recall) gravity or something making the energy for stars? Later they discovered nuclear fusion, and changed over to that as the cause. How about some other cause we never thought of yet? Why try to mold all of God's creation into your little limited experience and concepts?
...so essentially, you’re still quoting Pauline Hanson (“I Don’t Like It!”) and besides, if it was different, then it would be different… Not sure what you mean by gravity making energy, then nuclear fusion – unless we just witnessed another face-plant-a-thon in full swing? Gravity is what causes the tremendous pressures and temperatures at the center of stars that causes nuclear fusion to occur in the first place…. So both statements are correct – perhaps you just missed science at school entirely? Stay in School Kids!
As explained OUR time is not required for movement.
Time is required though. Using spectrosopy we can determine other things including the consistency of time there as it relates to us here – but I’ve explained this to you so many times already...
Show us precisely how relativity applies to the far universe?
Redshifted spectra.
As shown, of course it does, they ride on trig parallax.
No, you’re conflating Spectroscopy with Luminosity – they’re very different measurements for very different things. Luminosity isn’t necessarily dependent on distance either… just sayin’
Name anything about one that matters to us for the issue of time in the far universe then?? Ha.
Ahh, :D Type Ia Supernova Luminosity output over time! See?? I told you we don’t always need Distance… in fact, Luminosity of a Type Ia Supernova actually gives us our distance in this case.
It is a way they thought they could GET distance!
and DO GET distance… do you think Mathematics doesn’t work because it’s a godless heathen conspiracy to lure souls to an eternity of damnation??
Nor does it give distance! Hoo ha.
Actually, it Does! :D lol! As mentioned just before, the luminosity of a Type Ia Supernovae gives us an accurate distance for it.
Not in any way is this true as demonstrated.
Discarded, “I Don’t Like It!” isn’t an argument.
You kidding??

"Measuring the mass of stars in binary systems is easy. Binary systems are sets of two or more stars in orbit about each other. By measuring the size of the orbit, the stars' orbital speeds, and their orbital periods, we can determine exactly what the masses of the stars are. We can take that knowledge and then apply it to similar stars not in multiple systems."

Home - Curious About Astronomy? Ask an Astronomer

The size of orbit REQUIRES distance! Speeds also...we need to know how big and far away something is to determine speed. As for periods, that is time! Hoo ha.
Soooo….. You’re reading about a special fringe case for binary star systems only. We don’t need time to measure total mass of these types, or for that matter just about everything else’s mass.

Also, I take it you admit time is occurring there then?? :) At last, Thank you!
We wait for ANY evidence for distance which you need for all the rest of your silly house of card theories.
Parallax. Type Ia Supernova. Hubble’s Law.

I feel like this has been an excellent conversation about the importance of unmolested science education in public schools, Thank you!

:D

...spectral parallax?? What's that?
You talked about measuring distances using the spectrum? Since you seemed to have some inkling of the issues at hand, I assume you included Spectroscopic parallax. By the way, your post is very long so I will start by addressing the first few points.

"
Spectroscopic parallax is an astronomical method for measuring the distances to stars. Despite its name, it does not rely on the apparent change in the position of the star. This technique can be applied to any main sequence star for which a spectrum can be recorded. The method depends on the star being sufficiently bright to provide a measurable spectrum, which as of 2013 limits its range to about 10,000 parsecs.[1]"
To apply this method, one must measure the apparent magnitude of the star and know the spectral type of the star. The spectral type can be determined by observing the star's spectrum. If the star lies on the main sequence, as determined by its luminosity class, the spectral type of the star provides a good estimate of the star's absolute magnitude. Knowing the apparent magnitude (m) and absolute magnitude (M) of the star, one can calculate the distance (d, in parsecs) of the star using {\displaystyle M-m=-5\log(d/10)}
3ae9dab3cc004a2a93445c29fcae630fc4b6ff95
(see distance modulus). The true distance to the star may be different than the one calculated due to interstellar extinction."
Spectroscopic parallax - Wikipedia

If you are not aware that distances need to be known for luminosity and magnitude, let me know, we can hash that out for you.

As for Time here and there, we have no reason not to use the same laws of physics and theory of relativity throughout the universe because it works.
Hilarious. No reason not to use your unsupportable belief system! Quite a reason.

YOU have NO reason and NO predictive models to support your assertion that time is different/non existent there.... so given the models we have work just fine, it's incumbent on you to support your assertion that it is in fact otherwise.
Learn the difference between an assertion and a question. I ask what is known. I ask what if time were not the same. I have not asserted it is a certain way, but that you do not know. The issue now is simply whether all your stellar evolution and universe origin, and star working models use the premise that you do know it is all the same. Indeed all deep space cosmology sits on the premise.

I'm beginning to think you've never been to school.
I am beginning to think if that were true it might help understand better.
Do you accept that sound waves compress and stretch depending on the source of that sound coming and going?
In the solar system and area, yes.
You know, the Doppler effect?

I might point out that time is involved in such waves also!

"... each wave takes slightly less time to reach the observer than the previous wave. Hence, the time between the arrival of successive wave crests at the observer is reduced, causing an increase in the frequency."

Doppler effect - Wikipedia

Can you explain to us now how this could apply in telling us whether time exists the same in deep space!!!?? Or do we just have you trying to apply it because you never really thought before?


Do you also accept that we can't hear ultra low frequency as well as ultra high frequencies (think dog whistle for example)? If we could, instead of a doppler effect through motion of a sound source, have a sound source stationary but in a pocket of spacetime that's ticking by half as fast as we experience it outside. Now, do you accept that the sound we hear would be an octave lower in frequency than what we would be hearing if the source was in our time? Another way to think of it - when you could play an old vinyl record and slow the turntable to half its rate of spin, this is the same effect we would hear from the sound source experiencing time half as fast as we do.
You are talking about 'in fishbowl' effects! If we slowed time here...we would see such and such. If time was 'slowed' before it GOT here that would be another issue.
So, Light works in exactly the same way as sound does. That's to say, short wavelength light (similar to hight frequency sound) is in the blue spectrum and long wavelength light (similar to low frequency sound) is in the red part of the spectrum.
Here it works that way. As mentioned, how would we know if time could cause redshifting of light in deep space? Or if stretching of space in the beginning could have caused a redshift or blueshift effect? Or if creation may have made things different in deep space? Etc. You look only at the here and now on and near eath, and try to make all things comply to the little temporary rules we know.

If the source of that light is experiencing time half that of what we experience, then the light waves traversing from half speed time there entering our full speed time here would be stretched by half, resulting in a redshift of visible light into undetectable-to-the-naked-eye infra-red and longer wavelength light. That's it!
No. If there is only time HERE, then any waves coming here would only be in time once they get here! We cannot look at time here and claim it took so much time for them to get here based on that.
When we see waves that is part of how we see things in time. We only see things HERE, remember. Never anywhere else. What we see is light here. How it is affected once it gets here is not known, because we only see that and nothing else to compare it with.
Particles behave here as both waves as you know.

"The behaviors of the electron does not allow for it to be observable as a particle and as a wave. The two sided nature of the electron is known as the Wave-Particle Duality: The property of particles behaving as waves and the property of waves behaving as particles as well as waves. Although the duality is not very effective in large matter. The wave characteristic of the electron implicates many of the electron's particle behaviors."
Wave-Particle Duality

The light coming in to our solar system area consists of, they say, photons. How things like photons behave outside the fishbowl, and in a space where time may not even exist as we know it...is very much unknown.

Genetics today doesn't allow that.

Genetics doesn't make it impossible for people to have children with close relatives. The recent notorious case of Josef Fritzl and his daughter Elisabeth proves that it does happen.

There is a reason it is illegal. The offspring are in danger.

You are contradicting yourself. First you said that genetics doesn't allow people to have children with close relatives. Now you are saying that it is genetically possible for people to have children with close relatives, but there are human laws against the practice because it endangers the offspring. Also, incest is not illegal everywhere; in some countries there are no laws against incest between consenting adults.

As you say, there are good reasons for passing laws against incestuous marriages, but the examples that I have cited (and others) imply that if there were no such laws some people would marry close relatives and have children with them, and some of the children would be healthy. So far as I know, there is no reason to think that human genetics has changed in the last few thousand years, or that laws against incest were introduced because the advent of a present state that is different from the past state.

The issue is not what can happen. The issue is what way God created things and set them up.

There are reasons there are laws It is not a good thing now, or healthy.

"A common justification for prohibiting incest is avoiding inbreeding: a collection of genetic disorders suffered by the children of parents with a close genetic relationship.[9] Such children are at greater risk for congenital disorders, death, and developmental and physical disability, and that risk is proportional to their parents' coefficient of relationship—a measure of how close the parents are related genetically"
Incest - Wikipedia

No surprise, since God prohibits it in the bible. He knows what state we are now in.

As you say, there are good reasons for passing laws against incestuous marriages, but the examples that I have cited (and others) imply that if there were no such laws some people would marry close relatives and have children with them, and some of the children would be healthy.

Even in this nature, some children might be OK physically from forbidden relationships. That does not mean God prefers it or that it is best. In the past it had to be the way things worked and had to be best since God commanded multiplication. That makes better sense if nature used to be different.

"
Spectroscopic parallax is an astronomical method for measuring the distances to stars. Despite its name, it does not rely on the apparent change in the position of the star. This technique can be applied to any main sequence star for which a spectrum can be recorded.

3ae9dab3cc004a2a93445c29fcae630fc4b6ff95
(see distance modulus). The true distance to the star may be different than the one calculated due to interstellar extinction."
Spectroscopic parallax - Wikipedia
Oh, Cool! :D Yet *Another* way to measure distance... I didn't know that specific method,,,
If you are not aware that distances need to be known for luminosity and magnitude, let me know, we can hash that out for you.
As pointed out repeatedly, we make luminosity readings for other measurements that don't rely on distance - type Ia Supernova for example, so I'm good. :)
Hilarious. No reason not to use your unsupportable belief system! Quite a reason.
"I Don't Like It!" is not a reason - discarded.
Learn the difference between an assertion and a question. I ask what is known. I ask what if time were not the same. I have not asserted it is a certain way, but that you do not know. The issue now is simply whether all your stellar evolution and universe origin, and star working models use the premise that you do know it is all the same. Indeed all deep space cosmology sits on the premise.
Well, we DO know because of the spectra we observe. Deal with it.
I am beginning to think if that were true it might help understand better.
....fail.
In the solar system and area, yes.
wherever, doesn't matter, we're just after the concept.
I might point out that time is involved in such waves also!

"... each wave takes slightly less time to reach the observer than the previous wave. Hence, the time between the arrival of successive wave crests at the observer is reduced, causing an increase in the frequency."

Doppler effect - Wikipedia
Great! You Get It!
Can you explain to us now how this could apply in telling us whether time exists the same in deep space!!!?? Or do we just have you trying to apply it because you never really thought before?
....Again, the LIGHT is a WAVE of ENERGY in exactly the same way SOUND is a WAVE. There are a few differences but the concept is applicable - the one difference we care about here is how fast they travel through a medium. If time were different there than here, then we wouldn't see the light being emitted in the first place. Even if it were possible to stretch billions of years of expansion out into 6,000 years here, we wouldn't see anything because light would be so blueshifted entering our rate of time so much that it'd be undetectable even with special equipment we do have. Likewise if time there was slower, light would then redshift out of our visible spectrum and we wouldn't know about them. Even if after all this there was in fact some way that light could be 'translated into our time here' so it could be visible, we would be seeing everything all at once - so the occasional gravitational lensing of the same supernova event wouldn't reappear to us several years apart here as predicted, and we wouldn't be watching stellar events happen in realtime either. Spectral line of absorption wouldn't be where we see them.
You are talking about 'in fishbowl' effects! If we slowed time here...we would see such and such. If time was 'slowed' before it GOT here that would be another issue.
Nope, it'd be exactly the same, but the effects reversed. Either way, it's too high for our visual spectrum because the light waves were compressed coming to us from a faster timeframe, or it's too low for our visual spectrum because the light waves were expanded coming to us from a slower timeframe.
Here it works that way. As mentioned, how would we know if time could cause redshifting of light in deep space? Or if stretching of space in the beginning could have caused a redshift or blueshift effect? Or if creation may have made things different in deep space? Etc. You look only at the here and now on and near eath, and try to make all things comply to the little temporary rules we know.
Because it all works. If a model works, gives us predictive capability, matches observations as we make them, returns meaningful results, is verifiable using multiple methods, then you have your work cut out for you.

If we can measure a distance by parallax, then we can verify the distance with another method, say, spectrosopic parallax (Thanks for that! :D). We can then cross-check that yet again with luminosity. All three ways rely on different methods of measuring - Mathematics for Parallax, Atomic Theory for Spectroscopy and observation measurements for luminosity. So, if time were different there, then our spectroscopy and luminosity wouldn't read the same as Parallax. If light waves were 'translated' (or some such nonsense) from some other timeframe such that it 'looked' like it's supposed to here, then luminosity wouldn't match parallax and spectroscopy readings, and so on. No matter how you look at it, things would be out if you were right about there being some different time there.
No. If there is only time HERE, then any waves coming here would only be in time once they get here! We cannot look at time here and claim it took so much time for them to get here based on that.
When we see waves that is part of how we see things in time. We only see things HERE, remember. Never anywhere else. What we see is light here. How it is affected once it gets here is not known, because we only see that and nothing else to compare it with.
Particles behave here as both waves as you know.

"The behaviors of the electron does not allow for it to be observable as a particle and as a wave.

Although the duality is not very effective in large matter. The wave characteristic of the electron implicates many of the electron's particle behaviors."
Wave-Particle Duality

The light coming in to our solar system area consists of, they say, photons. How things like photons behave outside the fishbowl, and in a space where time may not even exist as we know it...is very much unknown.
Discarded - Because there's no evidence for that line of thinking at all and I've explained repeatedly why. All the models we have match with what we expect to see in the standard model, we see stellar objects doing things in comparable time to our own and we do this all the time. We routinely scour the skies with ever increasing resolution telescopes and radio scope and hundreds of thousands, if not millions of astronomers, cosmologists and physicists partake in it. If there were anomalies the size and scale of what you're suggesting, we'd all be religious - but No, reality is giving us these repeatable results all the time, and you of all people think you have the answer to the question nobody needs to ask.

Face it, if what you say is true, then your particular creator of the universe is absolutely doing the best job ever of hiding himself and the real age of the universe from us in every conceivable way we could imagine, and then some. He very much doesn't want anything to do with us and completely and utterly wants us to not know he even exists, heck, he doesn't even want us to know he could even be involved let alone anything further...

Is that really your God?
