Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Because what you expect to see is based in part on what exists. What exists also did exist for the most part in the former state. But do give us a clear example of something you 'expect' exists? Let me point out that a lot of what you expect is missing stuff. For example, if we have a chain of decay (supposedly) where there were say, 10 parts in the chain, we might have 4 parts missing. Missing isotopes that you 'expect' to not be there, but cannot prove they ever were there! The only reason for anyone to believe that they ever existed at all then is faith! Right?
No. Because the tilting represents a different state, not a tilt in this state!
No. Impossible unless we know how much water was there when the tilt took place!
NO! You can't which is the point! You see let us say that some of the tennis balls down the line already had water in them....how could you know? You showed up after the tilt. All you could do would be to say 'IF this state existed when the tilt took place, and there was no daughter water in any balls, then all the daughter water came from the post tilt reality.
Just waiting for you to catch on that your position is a sinking ship. No more need to fire at it now. Just a matter of time and the inevitable happening.
While you are tasting, taste this..Now I'll 'copy' someone who I think quite a few would recognize:
He has not responded to my post, therefore he has lost. I am victorious. It sure tastes sweet.

In today's news I see so called science gets kicked down several notches.
"According to a new study, large amounts of dark matter do not surround the Sun, despite some widely accepted theories.
Some scientists believe that the Sun is accompanied by dark matter, which is an invisible substance that can only be detected indirectly by the gravitational force its exerts.
Theories predict that the average amount of dark matter in the Sun’s part of the galaxy should be in the range of .88-pounds to 2.2-pounds of dark matter in a volume the size of the Earth.
However, a team of scientists from Chile have discovered that these theories do not fit the observational facts.
A team using the MPG/ESO telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory has mapped the motions of over 400 stars up to 13,000 light-years from the Sun.
The researchers have calculated the mass of material in the vicinity of the Sun, in a volume four times larger than ever considered before.
“The amount of mass that we derive matches very well with what we see — stars, dust and gas — in the region around the Sun,” team leader Christian Moni Bidin said in a press release. “But this leaves no room for the extra material — dark matter — that we were expecting. Our calculations show that it should have shown up very clearly in our measurements. But it was just not there!”
Astronomers currently believe that dark matter constitutes about 80 percent of the mass in the Universe, but all attempts to detect it in laboratories on Earth have failed.
The new results suggests that attempts to detect dark matter on Earth by trying to spot the interactions between dark matter particles and “normal” matter are unlikely to be successful.
The researchers now suggests that if dark matter does exists on Earth, it would measure just between 0-pounds to .15 pounds in volume.
“Despite the new results, the Milky Way certainly rotates much faster than the visible matter alone can account for,” Moni Bidin said. “So, if dark matter is not present where we expected it, a new solution for the missing mass problem must be found.
He said his team’s results contradict the currently accepted models, and that “the mystery of dark matter has just become even more mysterious.”
The research will be published in The Astrophysical Journal."

How sweet it is!
I wonder if a few hundred years ago, when the first guy to propose a type of germ theory was proved incorrect, he would realize that germ warfare would be a reality after all one day!? However, that does not involve the far universe, but germs living here on earth. The issue in the creation evolution area of debate is not just how things now work on earth.I wonder if a few hundred years ago, when the first guy to propose a type of germ theory was proved incorrect if he had to face the same ridiculous criticism...
I can imagine it now... "This just in: scientist got germs WRONG! diseases MUST be caused by God! Scientists are so stupid! They don't even know what causes us to get sick! How sweet it is!"
Did to!! And I am laughing.Science didn't get "kicked down a few notches" that's so ignorant I can't even believe you said it. Science only makes progress when theories are falsified. That way new theories can improve on them.
Why would it, when it is possible that the former state was where any geocentrism existed? The ONLY reason then we would expect the past (when the records represent) to match heliocentric thinking is IF the past were the same state! That is your imagination.Did you know that heliocentricism was born because geocentrisim didn't match with current observations?
Doesn't matter what short sighted big talkers say, actually. You might as well hire an ant interpreter to get an ant's opinion! God calls their wisdom foolishness for a good reason..it is! Literally. Really.Did scientists just throw in the towel and say "Shucks we were wrong! God must be the one who holds up the planets! NO! that's ridiculous. Epic fail, dude...
Well science talks about what is missing. So that drags you in. Nowthen...what exactly is here that you think is some problem?? Example?Why don't you get this? I'm not talking about what ISN'T there, I'm talking about what IS there.
The only way for your idea to be true is if there was an amazing coincidence that meant that we see all these samples of different rocks at different places that have the EXACT ratios of isotopes that we'd expect to see if they'd decayed radioactively.
Not sure how you are missing the obvious here. All rocks are now under our laws in this state.And that by an even bigger coincidence, there is not a single example of a rock that does NOT fit into this pattern, even though there could be if what you propose is true. This is a very big coincidence, doncha think?
Not unless you know what you are looking for. Even then, it would likely take a major effort, and science has never done that, nor even thought of the fact it may have been a different state!So? if the tilting was different in the past (ie, if there was a different state), an examination of the tennis balls now (ie, examining reality now) will show indications of that.
No. Because a certain amount of water was there when the tilt happened, presumably, in some of the daughter balls. There would be no way to know after the tilt. All we could see is how slow or fast the water was now flowing through the various size little tubes connecting them.All that water had to flow somewhere, didn't it? So we can look at the tennis balls that the water would have flowed into and we can see how much water is in them.
Well, maybe. But not at face value.So you actually think that the amount of water in the tennis balls now, combined with the way the board is tilted now can tell us nothing about how the board was before?
Done. So don't forget to memorize where those life jackets are stashed.Of course, if you want to sink my ship, you could explain how we get the situation I mentioned up above, with the rocks and all...
While you still haven't responded to my previous post I can still proclaim my victory.While you are tasting, taste this..

However, that does not involve the far universe, but germs living here on earth. The issue in the creation evolution area of debate is not just how things now work on earth.
App app app! Not with absolute certainty, beyond a reasonable doubtYes it is... creation/evolution debate is ONLY about how things work on earth... where else does evolution take place? in space? no. On mars? not that we know of yet.
Please tell me you aren't one of those small-minded creationists who can't separate evolution from abiogenesis or cosmology!
Even if you somehow proved that there was a god who created the universe, earth, and even life itself... and even if you could prove it was your version of the Christian God, evolution would still be the undeniable process that your God used to create said life.
Evolution does not " involve the far universe". This is the oldest creationist strawman ever. Just because we don't know with absolute certainty what caused the big bang or what caused life to start on earth, we still know with absolute certainty that life evolved once it began... with at least as much certainty as we know gravity exists.
However, you are proposing that we can't and shouldn't even assume gravity existed 6000 years ago... so good job at trying to undo all of science to support your irrational view of the universe.
Link to it?While you still haven't responded to my previous post...
Stellar evolution would take place (according to the so called science folks) in space, yes. But the adapting and evolving of life on earth has taken place here on earth mostly in the past! When you look at the fossil record, that was in the past, I kid you not.Yes it is... creation/evolution debate is ONLY about how things work on earth... where else does evolution take place? in space? no. On mars? not that we know of yet.
The twisted sisters all sing in the same choir.Please tell me you aren't one of those small-minded creationists who can't separate evolution from abiogenesis or cosmology!
No, you are dreaming. What process?? That is insane. How would you know what 'process' He used? I've heard some tall tales but you ought to win a prize!Even if you somehow proved that there was a god who created the universe, earth, and even life itself... and even if you could prove it was your version of the Christian God, evolution would still be the undeniable process that your God used to create said life.
I agree! In Eden. Some 6000 plus years ago. So? The evolving was after the creation fact.Evolution does not " involve the far universe". This is the oldest creationist strawman ever. Just because we don't know with absolute certainty what caused the big bang or what caused life to start on earth, we still know with absolute certainty that life evolved once it began... with at least as much certainty as we know gravity exists.
I do question whether gravity was as we now know it 4400 years ago. Can you prove it was? If you can, then I can change my opinion.However, you are proposing that we can't and shouldn't even assume gravity existed 6000 years ago... so good job at trying to undo all of science to support your irrational view of the universe.
App app app! Not with absolute certainty, beyond a reasonable doubt
I could be mistaken but isn't 'certain' a definitive term? If so we should avoid that.

Well science talks about what is missing. So that drags you in.
Nowthen...what exactly is here that you think is some problem?? Example?
False. Changing the laws would not mean that we would see all material that was there disappear. You just look at all the processes of the present, and assume that these existed in the past, rather than whatever other processes different laws would necessitate.
Not sure how you are missing the obvious here. All rocks are now under our laws in this state.
Not unless you know what you are looking for. Even then, it would likely take a major effort, and science has never done that, nor even thought of the fact it may have been a different state!
No. Because a certain amount of water was there when the tilt happened, presumably, in some of the daughter balls. There would be no way to know after the tilt. All we could see is how slow or fast the water was now flowing through the various size little tubes connecting them.

Speak for yourself. Then...say something about it, actually.Just try not to confuse the argument more than it already is please. You and I both know we were talking about biological evolution, nothing more.
Since evolution was a created trait, who cares? Nothing observed could ever change that fact. Evolution is in my back pocket.Like I said, even if you proved stellar evolution false, that is, if you proved that stars and planet could NOT form without the help of a God, biological evolution would still be an observable fact on this planet.
Absurd! Just because He made creatures able to change adapt and evolve in NO way means they got here that way! That is religion...belief only.Well, unless he was trying to trick us into thinking everything evolved then the process he used WAS evolution because it's the only theory that explains what we observe today.
Well at least you accept evolution... Now you just have to show how an organism can evolve from a sea sponge into a human in 6000 years.
Oldest Animal DiscoveredâEarliest Ancestor of Us All?
Where it 'took over' is the issue! You don't know! Also present evolving is slow and you do not know that the changes in the far past to created kinds was slow!Again, even if we assume that God DID wave his wand and POOF life into existence, evolution still took over after he was done. Unless, again, you want to assume God was trying to trick us when he invented fossils and genetics.
Some call it the fishbowl.Science and all human knowledge can only speak on one thing: the observable universe.
We get info and have ears...yes. That doesn't help you.We acquire knowledge through our 5 senses. We can't know anything except through those means. Even when you receive your "inspired truth" from your preacher or from reading your ancient book of goat herder poetry, you are still using sensory organs called ears and eyes to receive the information.
Whose rule is that!!?? Ans what about the precedent of the record of God??All science is "best guess" from what we observe. It's only safe to assume something for which we have a precedent.
False! Not safe. It won't be actually I assume one day. (but if we use a literal 'tomorrow' then yes I agree in the short term). If you mean in 100 years...you do not know!Example: It's safe to assume gravity will be here tomorrow because it has since recorded time. It's NOT safe to assume gravity will be reversed tomorrow because we've never observed this happening.
Absurd! First of all who says OUR laws changed?? They are the change from what was.So it's safe to assume physical laws were the same 6000 years ago since the physical constants haven't changed since we first observed them.
Nor any proof they were the same, that kills your case something fierce. You also end up opposing history and the scripture records!It's NOT safe to assume that the physical laws were different because we have no proof that they ever were. (notwithstanding any ancient myths)
You do not know about constants. You just thought you did. Common misconception.If we lived in a universe where the physical constants were constantly changing then it would be reversed. I would be foolish to assume that the laws of nature were the same in the past.
It fits history and God's word and all evidences available.So how is your different state past hypothesis anything more than blind speculation in support of a less-than-widely-accepted interpretation of a dusty old book?
Correct, my bad. I linked the wrong post:
Thannks for sdmittinngg that. I guess we should qualify that a bit...the bits of what IS that it can see. The issues that are important though are not is, but what was at and after creation...the flood, the future..etc.No, science talks about what IS.
The continents separated...the fossil record...etc. I have ALL the evidence.An example of my problem is that you haven't provided a single shred of scientific evidence to support your claims.
I would think it does. Apparently you need something fleshed out a bit more....This doesn't answer the question at all.
That doesn't explain how they ALL have the EXACT ratios of parent to daughter isotopes that we'd expect them to have if they'd been undergoing radioactive decay for millions of years.
ALL records of the earliest times of man point that way and the bible screams it out. All evidence agrees. Name anything that you think doesn't!?Once again, you need to provide a REASON why we should assume a DSP. You've never done that.
False!!!! You have no way of knowing unless you know the forces and laws that were in place or in this case represented by the tilt. You do not. All you can do is look at amounts of water.For example...
- I look at the tilt and determine that water will flow out of ball A at 10mL an hour.
- I look at the ball underneath it (Ball B) and see there is only 20mL in it.
- Given that there is still a flow of water from Ball A, I know that Ball B can only have been receiving water from Ball A for two hours.
- i conclude that prior to 2 hours ago, the board was tilted differently.
To discern truth and real time from the evidences one could NOT do what so called science does...believe and assume that our state was here long ago.I'll take that as a yes.
Maybe the hole is on the other side of the ship, and you never heard the bang, cause of the loud music and headphones?lol, I won't be needing them. You've been firing blanks all the thread.
Well, until they know and can confirm or deny our laws and space, they are sunk! They better stop claiming stuff.Yeah, but how can anyone refute that?
In fact, how can you even determine that?
Part of it was in this state. However what He said to Adam, and Noah, etc I assume was in the former state. What He said to John who was lifted to heaven to see the future I also assume was not in earth space! Etc.So you are basing your conception of the future on what god 'has said' in the present state.
Start anytime then...time is a wastin..Actually I can argue against that. Plenty others have as well.
The bible if true has to be from an eternal source. That was easy."The rules that the future and past are free of are the present state ones!"
How do you know this? Is it from a present state source, like the bible?
I feel no compunction to reject real and reasonable evidences such as we have for last century, or last year or last week. Let's not pretend that we have anything similar for 5000 real years ago. I understand that the same state past models like the big bang and first lifeform call for a total abandoning of reason. However, one must take a balanced and realistic approach, in my humble winning opinion.Save your celebration for when you've actually succeeded in something. Right now you're relying heavily on the one thing people has agreed on, nothing can be proved for certain, and twist it to your need.
(Edit: And you still haven't refuted LastThursdayism, like DaneaFL wrote.)
