If there was no decay how could there be rapid decay?what about all the heat from these rapid decays all over the place? Wouldn't it essentially cook the earth?

No. 2012 years ago, our laws still applied.

Because you aren't providing evidence for systemic changes across the board, throughout the universe. You simply are choosing bits of the bible that were miraculous events in the same state.If I think the flood and Eden were not in this state, how could offering the differences in nature we see there be offering evidence of miraculous works within a SAME state past? Like the tribulation and millennium and heaven, we can denote clear differences.
I think dad will disagree with me on this one, because I believe dad's version of DSP is different than mine; but for the record, if you lived in the DSP, you would not die.Because you aren't providing evidence for systemic changes across the board, throughout the universe.

Your evidence does NOT point to a different state, just that miraculous events happenned. That's all. Unless you care to explain with some thought how your extrapolations DO indicate different state past as opposed to miraculous incidents.

Technically, we're living in a different-state present, and that's why it's hard to comprehend a different-state past without having it explained.
By way of a crude example, most kids nowadays never experienced living in a time when there were no cell phones, Internet, or Chuck Norris.
Leave it to Beaver -- to them -- would be an historical docudrama.
Your analogy falls on it's face - we have historical evidence to support a claim of a TV show called "Leave It To Beaver," however, not one single shred of evidence to support a claim of a "different state past" (yours or dads).
Ask a child today what it was like living back in Beaver's time, and he doesn't have a clue; and by the same token, ask someone what it was like living in Adam's time, and he doesn't have a clue.
Ya -- straight from their programmed computers.Ask a historian or a palaeontologist and they both will have clues.
I think dad will disagree with me on this one, because I believe dad's version of DSP is different than mine; but for the record, if you lived in the DSP, you would not die.
Fair enough. To be clear, I suspect that the nature change happened over a century after the flood. That means the flood was still former state.
Ask a historian or a palaeontologist and they both will have clues.
I'm not sure what that has to do with the veracity of the evidence in indicating DSP as opposed to miraculous events in a same state past.I think dad will disagree with me on this one, because I believe dad's version of DSP is different than mine; but for the record, if you lived in the DSP, you would not die.
But frankly, We haven't experienced being on the surface of Venus but you could very well get a basic comprehension of what life would be like if you did some evidence based reading. The arguement that "It is novel, therefore, incomprehensible and/or inexplanable" does not lead to a strong argument of support for your position.Technically, we're living in a different-state present, and that's why it's hard to comprehend a different-state past without having it explained.
Does everything have to leave evidence behind?So AV, what is your reasoning behind the lack of physical evidence of a DSP?
No one dying.Or perhaps I should ask, what do you consider to be natural evidence of DSP and why do you think it so?
Yeah I think you and Dad differ. I think, if I'm recalling correctly, that Dad puts the split after the Flood.
Yeh, here it is:
So that means that people did die in Dad's Former State (Gen 5:5 for example).
Now this is a pretty big "difference" which might make people of lesser faith think you guys are just "making it up as you go along or as fits your need", but I'm sure there's a way to fix this glaring disconnect.
Needless to say the best thing we DO know is that science today couldn't find truth with both hands and a flashlight. So the Bible and God's followers who interpret it (no matter how jarringly different) are miles ahead anyway!
The big bang is totally false. It has no chance of a later or earlier start. D.O.A.Not that I agree with you mind you, but ya know....
From a strategy standpoint, you could probably make a strong case that the "big bang" simply began sooner, and the inflation phase (different state) lasted longer, and caused rapid decay along the way. That would be an entertaining discussion to say the least.

First "decay" isn't a bad thing. It sounds "bad" like decaying flesh. But in nuclear science it's actually a pretty interesting thing. Not "bad". Although you don't want to mess around with it since it can hurt humans and animals. And since the radioactive elements didn't "sin" they didn't need to "Fall from Grace" and start to "die".
No, this was in answer to the question about how there could be all these decay traces which indicate that these radioactive elements were deaying for millions or billions of years.
In the PAST STATE there still has to be some reason for there to be evidence of PAST decays that are too old to fit into the last couple thousand years (since the Split).
No. If it is here, then it was here at the onset of this state! IF IT IS NOT HERE, IT WASN'T!So when you find that there's more radiogenic Pb-206 than you expect (some is primordial and some is radiogenic) you have to explain where the excess came from.
No need. We do not need to use decay as the origin of any material we see, that took longer than 4400 years to decay. Simple.I'm just trying to help out and show that radioactive change could occur without having to account for anything like that nasty concept of "time", "energy" or even "heat"!
No. Stop coloring what you see.But it also keeps God from looking like he planted evidence of long ago radioactive "decay" without there actually literally being radioactive decay!
I been there done that. Nothing new here.This is Win-Win stuff, here Dad! I'm helping you. It appears that you don't know much about the whole "science" thing so I'm hoping to provide answers for the questions the nasty "science slaves" ask.
No knowledge is involved in the sulllying stuff of so called science.This keeps your mind pure and unsullied by actual "technical knowledge" and allows you to keep on hawking this wonderful "Different State Past" theology!
You missed it.You misunderstand why I said "empty answer". You didn't answer the question:
Science only deals in this state. No evidence therefore that it can deal in and with is beyond it!Because you aren't providing evidence for systemic changes across the board, throughout the universe. You simply are choosing bits of the bible that were miraculous events in the same state.
False. The nature of the past was clearly different, not tweaked.Your evidence does NOT point to a different state, just that miraculous events happenned. That's all. Unless you care to explain with some thought how your extrapolations DO indicate different state past as opposed to miraculous incidents.
