Direct triangulation shows the universe just older than 6000 years

Dad if there was a change between old light and present light then when that change took place there would be a period when we couldn't see any light because the old light would have passed us while new light will still be traveling to us at a slower speed and being that the universe is 6000 years old as you claim it to be there would still be at least 1000 years of darkness.

No! The light we have was left in place of the old. It kept coming. The whole unniverse was split, and we are the PO part. With the spiritual seperated, all that was left still coming in was what we got. Get it?

Ok give me these claculations and I am sure you have submited them for peer reviews that you can also show me. If not then your just a man shouting the internet saying things he can't prove are true like they are true.

Would it surprise you to learn that he's been doing this thread after thread (since the universe split, it seems) here and on other internet forums, without ever presenting any evidence (except the one verse in his signature) and he always a fantastical explanation for everything?

About that verse, dad, it sounds fake.

Gen 10:23 And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Gen 10:24 And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Gen 10:25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Gen 10:26 And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Gen 10:27 And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,

and so on.

This favorite phrase of yours ("for in his days was the earth divided;") has been interpreted in three ways (besides your way): geographical, demographical or linguistic. The first, by YECs, seemingly refers to continental drift. The second, to brother Joktan's descendants migrating to southern Arabia. The third refers to the Tower of Babel. No one seems to agree. Does any serious scholar agree with you, dad?

(Sorry, folks, for this seeming hijack. I am questioning dad's opposition to the triangulation conclusion by questioning his claim of support in scripture.)

Enjoy this you YECs.
Was that really you posting? It seems less polished than your usual writings.
If there's only 2% error out to 6000 light years, Astronomers should use the technique on something futher away. Even 10% would be fine if the star being checked is 10000 light years away.

I agree with all of them. The split caused languages to be confused, men to scatter and migrate somewhat, and the continents likely, to seperate as well! AS for scholars agreeing with the split merge theory, I think it's too early for that sort of thing. But I haven't had anyone mount much of a case against it!

I don't question geometry or distances of stars, so relax. I don't see any need to bother with that. The fabric of the universe being different does the trick quite nicely.


Hey, Glen, about the future that contains heaven, and how I pointed out it could not be PO, what say you to this?
