Why look at all things here in this state as if they always existed here?
Because you say some of them existed in a past state!
I realize you don't know what you are talking about by the things said so far.
I know more about science than you do.
The whole radio dating thing.
Because you seem to be under the very mistaken impression that half life refers to the age that a procedure can date. It has only a rough correlation, and even the Rubidium-strontium method is able to date rocks on Earth accurately.
I asked about a specific example.
And you;ve been asked for specific examples countless times as well throughout this thread. You go and address all of them, and maybe I'll start playing as well.
Call it whatever you like. If is still a big word.
Shame you can't apply it to your "old stories". IF the stories are true. IF people really lived that long back then...
That depends it it is used in some context.
Are you incapable of figuring out what the context of this discussion is?
Do you think it's your grandmother's favorite recipes? The context is obvious.
Ha! Then this is something you can't prove and that is nonsense.
I have explained how a present state past is testable. You have never explained how a DSP is testable.
Explain it now.
Yes. They can and many did. Noah for example! So?
Glad we agree on that!
Now, let's say we take something from the different state past. Let's say a lump of granite. So, we take a lump of granite that formed in the DSP. Now, let's take another lump of granite that was formed recently, when the present state had come into effect. So we have two rocks. Granite from a different state, and granite from this present state.
Is there any way we can tell the difference between the two? If so, please explain it in detail. What specific things will be indicators, and why do they act as indicators?
No need. If the sample was subjected, then you may raise the facts about the dating. So far we have 40 something imaginary billion years that is the "Y" in our formula. (where x + y = P -x is the daughter already here at the start of the state, and y is the daughter added by decay in the last 4400 years since the state presumably started, and p is the present total we see) Looks like we have then, over 40 billion in the x pile, and 4400 in the y pile! How would that help your claims?
And this proves that you have no idea what you are talking about. Show me ANY rock at all that scientists claim is 40 billion years old and I will admit that you are right about everything.
You see, 40 billion years is more then three times MORE than the age of the universe! The oldest rocks on Earth are about 4 billion years or so, if my memory serves. You are out by an entire order of magnitude!
I thought you said you knew what half life meant.
But anyway, let's say you said something reasonable. Let's say you said three billion years instead of forty.
It would help my case because there is absolutely NO reason at all why all the rocks should have a value of 3 billion years worth of daughter material for X!
Why would they all have this value for X, dad? You;ve never explained it.
The process of a created set of forces and laws that are no longer in place would not be known. That is one reason I call you out when you try to pretend it is all known.
And you consistently fail to realise that what we see around us today could not exist if the laws of the universe were any different in the past.
No. Because the ratios are expected. In no way does it even address the issue of what state the rock used to be in. All we can see is how much of certain stuff is in the rock. Now as my example is clear, let's look at it. You claim that it is about the oldest rock on earth. The half life of one material then is over 40 billion years! That means nothing! How can you say you expected that much? The only reason you 'expect' it, is because it is there. Circular. Prove that this rock is really billions of years old? You claim it because of the ratios, then turn around and claim that the ratios are as expected!
Doesn't matter. The fact that we expect a certain ratio is not what creates that ratio.
You are completely ignorant about science.
Seems like a form of solipsism to me!

You actually do not prove anyone wrong by citing a few different kinds of rocks or whatever, without even a point!
