If you had of read the article you would realise there are more than one assumption.

I'm sorry, but are you being deliberately evasive of the question I am asking? I am asking, IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what the assumptions are. Do you understand this?

Well i can't force you to read what I think. so that's that I suppose. But anyway it's off topic. Perhaps start a thread about it?

No I won't start a new thread since it is a topic relevant to the discussion. So again, I ask you: IN YOUR OWN WORDS, what are the assumptions about the distance of the stars and how the relate to time?

What have stars got to do with finding academic books with evidence of man and dinosaurs living together?

You know there are rule about going off topic. If you want to start your own topic please do.

It is completely on topic. It is being claimed that dinosaur fossils are from the last 6,000 years, contrary to radiometric dating methods. It is also being claimed that radiometric dating methods can not be trusted because they rely on "assumptions". One of the assumptions mentioned was decay rates. I produced evidence demonstrating that past decay rates are not assumed, and the constancy of decay rates is based on valid and scientific evidence.

We have yet to have anyone address this evidence. Instead, we only see people repeating the rather vacuous claim that we can't use evidence in the present to determine what happened in the past. It makes me wonder what creationists would do if they were on a jury. Would they reject forensic evidence because it isn't a time machine?

Stars demonstrate that decay rates were the same in the past as they are now. This also demonstrates the accuracy of radiometric dating methods which are used to determine the age of dinosaur fossils.

Because the time periods that is calculated from the distance of the stars to the Earth prove deep time, that when combined with the radio halos taken from the Earth prove that dinosaurs lived millions of years before humans appeared in the fossil record.

It is off topic because a fossil is not a book.

The poor guy (Daniel Marsh) whereever he is just wants a book with proof of man and dinosaurs living together, not star light measurement evidence.

Also I posted this about another possible dinosaur in post #214:

There is this account written by Cassius Dio a Roman historian b.155 AD d.235 AD Nicaea, Bithynia, Turkey:

Ioannes Damascenus, De Draconibus I., p472
When winter came on, Manlius sailed back to Rome with the booty, while Regulus remained behind in Africa. The Carthaginians found themselves in the depths of woe, since their country was being pillaged and their neighbours alienated; and cooped up in their fortifications, they remained inactive.

Now while Regulus was encamped beside the Bagradas river, there appeared a serpent of huge bulk, the length of which is said to have been one hundred and twenty feet (for its slough was carried to Rome for exhibition), and the rest of its body corresponded in size. It destroyed many of the soldiers who approached it and some also who were drinking from the river. Regulus overcame it with a crowd of soldiers and with catapults.

So there.

That's not a dinosaur nor an academic book.
