. . . Also, I think dinosaurs were manufactured as part of ancient DNA experimentation.
No. I know different stories of the flood that most people do.Do you agree that the white cliffs of Dover seem to indicate an age greater than 10,000 years?
I do not reject the use of evidence obtained within the last couple centuries. Only the implications of that evidence extended past the time of its measurement.How can you tell, given that you reject their use of evidence?
We can't right now. The technology documents of the past have never been examined.How can we tell this notion of "DNA experimentation" from Darwinian Mutation plus survival of the fittest?

But splitting of continents with the addition of molten metal falling from the sky creates conditions where they can grow very quickly on the ripped apart spots.Floods don't produce hundreds of feet of chalk deposits made out of tiny microorganisms.

When you speed up to pass another car, you leave evidence behind that you did it. One example is increased emissions from the engine.When you pass another car on a two lane highway, what speed do you get up to? And then what speed do you drive after completing the pass? There may have been many reasons for God to adjust things several times during the process. Maybe light is a catalyst in the first phases, and requires a different speed to do that.
Can you give an example of one field in which it is claimed there is nothing left to do?Absolutely. I am opposed only to their concluding the job is done in some field
You think that 62% of Americans accepting that humans evolved over time is a small segment? Don't forget that acceptance of evolution is, on average, much higher around the world than it is in the US.when they have yet to be able to convince even a small segment of the world's population that their results imply this.
Can you give even one example of this happening? Specifically that someone said "I have a million dollars" and then having a million dollars appear in their bank account.You are an agnostic, so you cannot know how the rules of the Kingdom of God work. Many Christians have done exactly this, and had it happen (and please don't think I'm talking about the "prosperity gospel" con-artists). And lunch for 5000 people would cost $15,000 or more today; yet Jesus made it appear quite "magically". But there are rules how it operates.
I have no problem with any of those as ways of determining age. However the specific example discussed measuring radioactive decay in an airplane.Things like annual layers of winter snow in icelandic and antarctic ice cores, with age determined by counting them. Counting annual layers of silt laid down in lakes. Counting annual growth layers in sea corals.
-_- there are biological limits as to how quickly micro-organisms (or any organism, really) can grow and reproduce, even with the most ideal conditions, and it wouldn't be anywhere near fast enough to make that much chalk in the short time frame demanded by a young Earth.But splitting of continents with the addition of molten metal falling from the sky creates conditions where they can grow very quickly on the ripped apart spots.
Scientists don't do that. They look at the evidence we have today and look at how things would be different if (for example) the speed of light were different in the past. Then they design tests to look for evidence of a difference.1. I agree, and I am objecting to scientists doing that.
3122 BC is a little over 5100 years ago, exactly what I said. The Flood is dated to 4000 years ago, approximately 2000 BC. Yet the Egyptian culture has no gap indicating they were wiped out by the Flood 1100 years after their recorded history began.2. I gave the date 3122. This is based on the calendars zeroing out Dec. 21, 3121, and various ancient writings. Pre-Egyptian culture starts around 3100. The book of Jubilees calls Kainan the culprit, and says he "Sinned by doing that".
Oh my, that's scary. Do you honestly believe that the earth's population has been growing at the same rate as it today for the past 4000 years?3. The same way the world has added 2 billion people just in my lifetime.
Sigh. It's a relatively simple matter to click on the "up arrow" next to each quoted post.4. Sorry, there are too many posts. I forgot what this one was about.
Which ones have spent a career developing and refining the evidence and which ones haven't?5. I do not expect otherwise. The problem is that there is one consensus among scientists and another among those who hear them talk.
What makes you think that scientists believe that an unknown entity is influencing their results?6. Right, they do not claim it. I am doing it for them.
The vast majority of them do, in fact, agree on the basics.7. Agree completely. But pastors do not agree what the rules are. (separate topic)
They thing is, scientist don't trust that.8. They should not, any more than we should trust them.
The current knowledge about climate change.Can you find any place it ever has?
I'm sorry, this is probably the stupidest thing I have ever read. The idea that all the stars are the same distance away from us is ridiculous in the extreme.Sure. But instead of giving you something that is beyond many in this thread, I will give you the following argument from Charles Fort: After spending many years searching newspapers, he was unable to find a single report of stars crossing in front of each other as seen by astronomers. The distance to stars and speed of light does not matter. If the earth is going around the sun, and get 186 million miles from whether it was 6 months ago, and if stars are at various distances from the earth, stars must be seen to cross, it is a question of geometric parallax arguments (Try walking from one side of the front of a room to the other, and keep your eye on two chairs at different lengths from you). His conclusion was that stars are not "hanging" in space at various distances, they must be painted on some kind of canopy and thus all the same distance from earth. So if you can find a case of stars appearing to cross that will settle my doubt. (I just tried a google, and could not find anything). If you cannot, this constitutes presumptive evidence that the whole measurement of star distance differences is in error, and consequently, anything derived from it (including the speed of light in space) is wrong.
I asked you who is paying scientists to say that there is no real benefit to non-homogenized milk.I'm guessing, but it's a question of sales.
Whoopee. Carrying a palm-sized computer and communications device around in your pocket involved a retraining of the population. It didn't take very long.Milk that must be shaken involves a retraining of the population.
The arguments I read in favor of non-homogenized milk (that offered absolutely nothing in the way of evidence for their claims) is that milk has an enzyme that when digested through intake of homogenized milk gets deposited in your arteries and when digested through intake of non-homogenized milk does not. Not the other way around.The benefits BTW have to do with an enzyme that is broken down in the homogenization process, that helps remove plaque from the arteries. In the 1980's I read reports that this was verified both in England and int he US, from reputable medical journals. BTW also, non-homogenized is sold right along with the homogenized in Australia, but not in America. We must drive to selected farms to get it, unless we live in a highly urbanized area, where a few health food stores have it.
And did they find any evidence?The evidence of psychokinesis that could affect it. (There have been such experiments).
Schrodinger's decay? Or should that be Heisenberg's decay?Also, whether it is affected by the quantum observer effect, as is photons.
Yes, I have heard of those experiments. I have also not heard of a single one that got positive empirical results.Have you heard of the experiments testing prayer in the effects of healing?
Pain is subjective. Ever heard of the placebo effect?I have heard unreplicated evidence of healing time shortened by two-thirds and pain as reported by victims reduced by 1/2. That's one way.
Yes. And? Do you think that presents some kind of problem?There are also old experiments testing whether plants that are prayed over grow better than others. I have heard several resutls th
And yet there are salt water lakes on the tops of mountains.
I've never found any reference to that other than creationists websites. I'm more than a touch skeptical.ANd that mammoth with tropical grass in its stomach found in Siberia.
