I will scientifically prove the existence of God to you

You'll really love this post:

Made in a thread where I challenge YECs to convince me to be one.
And in the aforementioned link, I say:
"Goodbye to Embedded Age, I'm a YEC now."

Again, you're still a YEC. Doesn't matter with the embedded age malarkey, extra-Biblical nonsense you throw around to paradoxically match with the scientific consensus about the world, you are still a Young Earth Creationist.

 

[AV1611VET]

The bottom line is that your a true believer that Creation was created 6000 years ago. In every sense of the word that makes you a YEC. Bringing God in to the picture as a deceiver with the Embedded Age nonsense does not erase your basic bottom line belief of a 6000 year old Creation. All of your arguments are based on that 6000 year time frame. Your YEC thru and thru.

I'm sorry you don't understand.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

I'm sorry you don't understand.

They're right though.

 

[AV1611VET]

Sorry you don't (can't?) understand.

 

[dlamberth]

I'm sorry you don't understand.

Oh..I understand that your different flavor of YEC, But still a YEC.

What I'm not understanding is why you won't accept it.

Because he wants to be special.

Because he wants to be special.

I think we can all agree he is special.

Bless his heart

I must be a young Earther too(?).
I mean, since the age of the Observable Universe is currently 13.8by and the Earth is 4.543by, the Earth is therefore a mere ~33% of the age of the Obs Universe. That sounds 'young' to me?!

Can God create a dress tomorrow so old it falls apart with age?

The question wasn't how old the Earth is, but how long ago it was created.

It's still fuzzy and low precision. If it said 30 cubits and not one more, then we could assign a second digit, but it doesn't. The OT is full of bad math and numerical exaggeration.

I get what you are saying. And, I suspect that "30 cubits could compass it about" is just an expression. BUT, if they actually measured it, surely they would have noticed an ~20 in deficit in the rope.

If it actually was 10 cubits across at the point where the circumference was measured, it would only be about 1.5 cubits short with a 30 cubit rope.

Which is 27 inches for an 18 inch cubit. (Yeah, I was short.)

Somewhere, lying in a stack of papers in my study I have a print out of pi to 10,000 decimal places. And that's an approximation too.

In the original book 'Contact' by Carl Sagan, the message from the aliens tells him to check out the figure for pi. So he sets up some super computer and tells it to keep calculating. It runs for months churning out the figure to a bazzilion decimal places. Then one day it reports an anomoly. There is a sequence of numbers that is repeating over and over again. A sequence that is 8,100 numbers long. He recognises the number as the square of 90, so prints the numbers out in a 90x90 square. There doesn't appear to be anything there.

Then he notices there are a lot more odd numbers than even. So he plots the square again with a zero for odd and a 1 for even. What he gets is a shape. A circle.

I remember reading the last line when he discovers this and the hairs literally stood up on the back of my neck.

No can do.

But if I say I have a hula-hoop 20 feet in circumference by 10 feet in diameter, would you say I'm wrong?

Yes.

If the diameter is ten feet, then the circumference will be a bit over 30 feet. You're off by about 50% there.

If the circumference is twenty feet, then the diameter is less than 6.5 feet.

Your attempts to justify these as rounding errors just don't work.

Or if I say Darwin died at the age of 73, would you say I'm wrong?

No, because he had celebrated his 73rd birthday but had not celebrated his 74th.

Of course, if your claim here was similar to your previous accuracy, then you'd be claiming that he died at 50 or something.

Do you think you have a point here?

 

[AV1611VET]

If the diameter is ten feet, then the circumference will be a bit over 30 feet. You're off by about 50% there.

Thanks for the correction.

It should read 30 feet.

I corrected it.

 

[Kylie]

I corrected it.

By this logic, am I a newborn or 100 years old?

Tomorrow.

Age is a measure of how long something has existed for. So either God is rewriting history (in which case you can't be sure of your own memories), or there's some shoddy workmanship going on.

If Genesis is history, He is not rewriting anything
