you're making a claim- namely that sometime in the past the laws of physics all changed dramatically

can you show any evidence of this? one would think such a dramatic change in the very fabric of the universe would show some signs
It was not the fabric of the physical universe that changed, we are the change! Everything we see is pretty different from what it will be or was! This is what you guys seem to mis. Light never changed, since we were split, and it came to be in the physical only universe. If it changed, after that, we would know. Get it?

ahhh, so you're making a wild claim, and also claiming that there is no way we could ever detect any evidence of such... and that all the independent lines of evidence that all show the same thing (an old earth on which species changed over time) ALL were affected IN THE SAME WAY to give THE SAME ANSWERS by this merge that we can't detect, understand, or test for?



wow, dad... that's some GOOD science


i honestly think that dad is an evolutionist showing the intellectual dishonesty and neccessity for crazy propositions to support a young earth hypothesis... not even a creationist could buy the stuff he says

I get it, and it's a nice fantasy, but that's all it will ever be.

And yes, chances are good he is a hidden evolutionist making clear to creationists how ridiculous some of their claims are. And he's doing a very good job!

and furthermore, we know that the bible was written by humans... biblical literalists don't dispute this... they say moses wrote the pentetuach, that men wrote the gospels...
I dispute it plenty. Men recorded it, like say, the media reports on something.
'God, on the mountain, just said something, now, He is writing something on a tablet, ..'etc. Much of it is God directly speaking. Then, we have some like Daniel, who was so affected, seeing some of these things, he fainted, and was sick certain days, it took such a toll! God speaks through vessels of clay! The clay vessels (man) never said it, they were the connection, the mouthpiece of God. It is His book, or it is nothing at all!


they also claim that these men were inspired by god. the authorship of men is not in dispute. it is the inspiration of god that needs authentification
People try it, and tap into the power, and it works like a house on fire! There is something hiding in those pages that is detectable, and testable. Christians put it to the test all the time, to see if God be God, and if these things be so. They are words tried in the fire over and over, and devoid of impurities.

now we agree on something
No, I mean there is power in that plug. Creative, constructive power that does wonders. It may look like other wall sockets, but this baby has juice.

The evidences we have can and do not tell us about this time, except as subject to interpretation.
Hence, your split universes are a fantasy and your interpretation suggests that you suffer from some severe form of dementia.
dad said:
They show us species changed, but over how much time is only a matter of assumptions.
No, the matter of time was settled long ago and is verifiable with mountains of evidence, as is the fact that species change over time.
dad said:
Actually, it is in step with the science we have.
No, your thinking is not in step with anything remotely scientific.
dad said:
Time to realize it, deal with it, rejoice that we have a clearer grasp of the past, and move on.
Some of us do have a clearer grasp of the past, while others still believe in YEC fantasies.

Sometimes people giving curt little statements need a little dose of the same.



No, YOU can't back YOUR belief up. Evidence for our viewpoint is right in front of you.

And sometimes people giving random babble about the laws of physics changing in strange, unproven and self-contradictory ways need a little dose of reality.

Really? Evidence for a massive and arbitrary alteration in the laws of physics? Where?

Yes I get it, it was the premise of the RPG "Kult", more or less. The thing is I've never seen any one actualy take it as fact before.

The spiritual world is real, and not really to be compared to a computer game, if that is what you refer to there. Although, the two are somewhat linked, it seems! I remember some years ago, I think 3 or 4, in Japan, many many people suffered seizures, and hospitals were having a problem coping. It was after veiwing a show on TV, based if memory serves on a Nintendo type character. When people saw it on the screen, I think it was a few hundred had seizures! I take that as some spiritual connection, myself.

Actually Kult was a pen and paper game, but I understand most people don’t know about pen and paper RPGs. Any way I was not comparing the spiritual world to a game, I was comparing your fictitious version of it to their fictitious version of it.


The incident you mention had nothing to do with a spiritual connection, seizures can be induced by flashing lights cycling at a certain rate, as is well known, the shows flashing backgrounds induced these petit mal seizures. Ever heard of epilepsy? Or do you think that has something to do with demonic possession rather than brain tissue scaring?
