  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Haha, so now you think all of astronomy is wrong and the stars are not where they are (or what they are). This is worse than I thought. Try this:

Parallax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Correct. I realize that stellar evolution is false. So I see you offer parallax as a distance measure? Do you claim it works for the pinwheel then?

I can look directly at the past, with objects moving according to the same laws of momentum and gravity as they are here on Earth. We can measure the erosion and building of geological layers containing records of life's journey from millions of years ago by actually looking at it and touching it.

Or, I can take a 2000 year old book that's been translated several times from the original that nobody agrees on which also makes the claim that a deity spoke the universe into existence over a period of six days, complete with talking snakes, walking on water, and resurrection from the dead.

Yep. Better believe the book. That's the smart thing to do. Or at least, that's the one that doesn't make my brain smell like a pork roast.

No, parallax does not work for galaxies, they are too far away, standard candles are used for that. But parallax certainly works for stars and planets that are in the 6,000 light years range, and physics properties in all of those behave exactly how they do in the solar system.

lol, we've all provided stuff to support our claims, Dad, even if you don';t agree with them. How about you do the same?

Not gonna happen since there isn't any. Not even Biblical, since I am still waiting on that verse (or verses).

Ah..so you cannot support the claim for the pinwheel distance. OK. When we observe a star on earth, we assume it exists. We assume that it exists in time as we know it and space as we know it. We would need that for linear measurements to work...right? Parallax involves time you know. Earth time. For example 6 months for different measurements in different places on our earth orbit..etc.

Not if there is a different state space!

Oh, I missed this one, now you are not only claiming a different state past on earth but also a different state space outside of our planet. This just keeps getting better.

AV, that post has no relation to what I am trying to show dad here. But FYI, your "hypothesis" of a universe being created as it is, with embedded age and history, is more logical to me than a past with different natural laws will ever be.
You didn't qv them in detail did you?

Let me give you the Cliffs Notes version:

Light moved at the speed of God's will back then -- today it runs much slower @ C.

Your spiral galaxy means nothing.

No you haven't. You only thought you did. It did not in any way begin to support the wild eyed claims of the false prophets of so called science.

As the person responding to your post very well put it, if light moved faster back then, the universe would be much, much older. Your's and dad's different state past means nothing.

Thanks. Looking at the absurd outcomes of the claims of the false prophets of science helps one to realize that they had a fatal flaw in their reasoning.

Which came first, the Grand Canyon or the Colorado River?

How you answer that depends on how you've been taught.

You can go touch the Grand Canyon or Colorado River all you want, but if you say they came about via millions of years of processing, then I don't believe it.

Yes, AV. Prove your point by linking to a post where it is pointed out that you are not making any sense.

Is this your new argument? "I don't make sense, therefore I am right?"
I don't make sense to whom? you?

Big deal.

So show us some erosion you measured that does all of this!? Let us all look at it and be amazed. Ho hum.

Suit yourself -- just don't expect us to believe it.

You don't have to "believe" it, those types of things don't require "belief", they are simple observations. I will give you one thing though, thanks a lot for posting that link, the response has this awesome video that I hadn't seen before:

[youtube]nRmJbP25m-Y[/youtube]

And it shows you, step by step, how a faster speed of light in the past would cause the universe to be much older. That is why I say that your embedded age story makes more sense than this "different state past". For kickers, the video also shows a great way of estimating distances by calculating the rate of growth of light rings around supernovas. But of course you won't "believe" that since we can actually see it.

Oh, and I am still waiting on that Biblical support for a different state past (since I already gave up on receiving a scientific one).
Biblical support of a different state past: no death of man or animals; no thorns or thistles.

Current state: death of man and animals; thorns and thistles.
