I have a friend that works on a 3 million dollar machine that is suppose to be accurate to a billioneth. How much more accurate do we need?
Billionth of What ?
Billionth of an Micron or a Billionth of a light year?
He is a tool and die maker. Here is a quote that may help you with tolerance levels:Billionth of What ?

We have come a long way. 99.99% pure soap was considered to be really pure. Now they can filter water down to a billionth. Even they filter sea water to use on ships. When I was in high school tool and die people worked within one hundredth. In Germany they would work within one thousandth. I remember working on a Jaguar once and at times they did not have to use gaskets when Americans had to use them.sensitive down in the "parts per trillion" range.
He is a tool and die maker. Here is a quote that may help you with tolerance levels:
"Think about this engineering phenomenon. The telescopes critical mirror segments must hold their shape against warping to within a 25 billionth of a meter! If not, the telescope will not operate properly in the frigid conditions of outer space. Its very hard to conceive of a 25 billionth, let alone resisting warping at those extremes."
When you are off a billionth and you project that out then it can add up.
I do not know. Like I said, when I was in high school the tool and die makers talked about a tolerance of one hundredth. Now they are talking about a tolerance in the Billionths. There is a lot of tool and die and a lot of machine shops in this area.This is the part you left out "of a meter" That's what I was looking for.
So their tolerance is around 0.04 nanometers well less the the average diameter of a single Atom ?
No.So when God removed Adams Rib He did not leave a scar?
Science ≠ God ... despite what some think.Actually the DNA is in the bone marrow that science can remove with a long hyprodermic needle.
As long as it isn't a literal Genesis 1, it's worth looking into, isn't it?That is one theory. That a meteor brought a seed to the earth that grew when it got here. Not widely accepted by science but people like Fred Hoyle supported this belief to some degree.

God created the earth with meteor craters, did He?

"Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating tiny particles that are one-billionth of a meter in size. To put this in perspective, a nanometer is roughly the width of three or four atoms and is 1000 times smaller than a red blood cell. Put another way, the average human hair is about 25,000 nanometers wide and the head of a pin is 20,000,000 nanometers wide. Nanotechnology: A Billionth of a Meter | MassDEPThe Accuracy is about 20 Nanometers (So that 25 Billionth of a meter is an exaggeration of about 1000 fold)
So I struck out on there being a God? Seems to me you like to talk for the sake of talking.Yes. IF there is a God, and IF the Bible is correct, and IF your interpretation is correct. It seems to me that you;ve struck out on all three.
It it amazes you, it phases you.Your tremendous misuse of logic never ceases to amaze me.
Get saved.Oh, stung to the heart by the incredible wit of dad! How shall I ever recover?
Embedded belly buttons?Ah, your hypocritical stance on scars again. How a belly button indicates a past that didn't occur, and thus they don't exist on A&E, and yet you don't have a problem with meteorite craters that do the same thing.
You want me to detail where more detail is given in 2 than 1? Come on now. Do your own homework.More detail? The creation account from Chpt 1 is 27 verses where the "Creating" is being discussed.
Chapter 2 is verses 5-9.
I don't think you're lying, but I do think your method of pronouncing things demonstrably false, is more than a bit misguided.
So I replied in an on topic way? I guess that gives you another chance. Use it wisely this time.If I was ACTUALLY blathering on about nothing, you wouldn't be replying to my "nothing" in an "on topic fashion". Perhaps this is how you say you don't want to discuss this subject with me anymore?
No. I think man's wisdom is so far beneath God's.Try elevating your position up to God's level by availing yourself of His word, and you will be right up here with the big boys.And dad, how can anyone "offer you anything"? You think every one of us to be so far beneath you, we are barely worth your time.
I actually am a humble and patient guy. Keep trying. After all we are all but men.You pay no attention to anyone else's ideas; not because the ideas are subpar but because you have some baseless sense of smugness in these discussions.
You don't don't appear to PRESENT ideas based on merit. Work on that. I am willing to take a look if you reach that bar.You don't don't appear to evaluate ideas based on merit.
I can't agree with that.You seem to evaluate them SOLELY based on whether you already agree with them.
What foolishness. I would be ashamed to even repeat it.That is one theory. That a meteor brought a seed to the earth that grew when it got here. Not widely accepted by science but people like Fred Hoyle supported this belief to some degree.
You comparing man's accuracy to God's? I would say infinitely more.I have a friend that works on a 3 million dollar machine that is suppose to be accurate to a billioneth. How much more accurate do we need?
If there is a real God would He not get a real word down to man? Ask yourself what is inspiring you to think it strange? That is your enemy.I've always found it strange that some people so easily replace the Bible with God.
Get saved.
Hey smart guy, you made the claim, you do your own homework. Did you ALREADY forget that you made that ridiculous claim?You want me to detail where more detail is given in 2 than 1? Come on now. Do your own homework.
So, I'd like to point out your logic here:No. I think man's wisdom is so far beneath God's.Try elevating your position up to God's level by availing yourself of His word, and you will be right up here with the big boys.
You demonstrate the opposite.I actually am a humble and patient guy. Keep trying.
God's greatness and power is a pretty meritous idea in my mind. I figure a God who created through some capacity, the entire universe, didn't need to buy seeds at the local hardware store to create a garden. He can do it however he wants. You are the one arguing "As IF God would grow a garden by doing anything other than planting seeds". There is catagorically NO merit to that idea. We can have no specific understanding by what mechanism God created that garden (despite your understanding to the opposite). Other than a vague "God planted a garden" and "plants came forth from the ground", there is no evidence.You don't don't appear to PRESENT ideas based on merit. Work on that. I am willing to take a look if you reach that bar.
It's also basic doctrine.That isn't absurd, or wrong. It's really just stupid.
Adam Clarke's Commentary said:A recapitulation of the six days' work of creation,
Family Bible Notes said:Here it introduces a second further account of the creation, containing important particulars which could not be brought into the preceding narrative without interrupting its orderly plan.
John Wesley's Notes said:A more particular account of the creation of man,
And yet you say, 'It´s really just stupid.'Matthew Henry's Commentary said:This chapter is an appendix to the history of the creation, more particularly explaining and enlarging upon that part of the history which relates immediately to man, the favourite of this lower world.
