They happen because of the way it is?????? How hilarious. Since you do not know how long that was!
*Sigh*
What I mean is that it is the inherent properties of the universe that cause things to act the way they do. Those properties came about in exactly the same way that you create a shape with one side if you twist a loop of paper 180 degrees before attaching the ends together.
I do not have a problem with creatures changing.
Then you do not have a problem with evolution. Glad we got that settled.
Ah, nice. Now you are back-peddling from your earlier position, because there are plenty of scenarios I can think of which cannot be changed in any significant way by any passage in the bible.
Please point out the flaws in radio-carbon dating.
Now, I don't mean that you can just quote the Bible to disagree with it. Any numbskull can do that. I mean, show what step in the procedure followed is faulty, explain what the fault is, how you have determined it is a fault, and propose a way to fix that fault.
Funny no one has ever been able to post it. What are you waiting for?
The above-mentioned radio-carbon dating is one such method. You say that scientists are assuming that the laws back then were different. Well, we can double check the accuracy of that dating technique by using other techniques. if what you are proposing is true, how do you explain the fact that all the dating techniques agree with each other?
it's like this...
(This is an analogy here, Dad, so don't start getting confused. it's a hypothetical thing used to illustrate a point)
Today, one minute is equal to 60 seconds.
1 hour = 60 minutes.
1 day is 24 hours.
Now let's say that back in the past, this wasn't true. Perhaps a minute was 45 seconds, an hour was 72 minutes and a day was 31 hours.
Now, let's say I go back in time to a particular event to see how long ago it was.
I measure my trip back and discover I travelled back in time 172800 seconds. I want to double check that time, so I decide to measure it again, but this time I'll be using minutes. I find out that it is 2880 minutes. And to be even more sure, I measure it once again, but this time using hours. I find I travelled back 48 hours. And one last time, i measure it in days, and find out that it was two days.
Now, the only way for the measurements to be accurate is if the number of seconds in a minute was 60 the whole time. Likewise for hours and days. if the number of minutes in an hour had ever been different, I would have got a figure that didn't add up to what i expected.
This is the same sort of thing we find. If the laws of the universe had ever been different, then the various dating techniques we have would not agree with each other the way they actually do. This shows that the laws of the universe as we experience today have been in effect for the entire time that the universe has existed.
Let me try to see what you are saying here. You agree the laws were different.....but you want to know how it woulda been if they were the same?
*Sigh again*
No, I am asking you this...
What is the difference between a universe were the laws were different in the past and a universe where the laws were the same in the past?
