Then why does academia request evidence for their claims?A theory is an idea or group of ideas, and their predictions must have been repeatedly verified. YEC is a religion, not a theory.
More like everything in science contradicts yecAsking if the biblical creation story is science is like asking if the resurrection of Christ is science. How can a miracle be science? Everyone know science starts with a naturalistic assumption and then proceeds to try to find only naturalistic answers.
I suppose whether or not ID is "science" is another matter. But as far a YEC I think the point is nothing in science contradicts it.
Because they present it as a useful explanation.Then why does academia request evidence for their claims?
Of what? God speaking the earth into existence?YECers are simply being asked to use their ideas to get consistent results, and they fail every time.
Of how the world actually works.Of what? God speaking the earth into existence?
You expect "independent consistent results" of that in lab experiments?
How many earths should be consistently created ex nihilo in how many independent laboratories before science would be satisfied?
Ya ... and I lost my car keys, and you won't see me using the Two Moon Hypothesis to find them.That's why you don't see YECers using YEC ideas to find oil reserves.
Of course, the difference is that the location of oil deposits would be drastically different depending on if YEC were true or not.Ya ... and I lost my car keys, and you won't see me using the Two Moon Hypothesis to find them.
I'm a little rusty on YEC theology.Of course, the difference is that the location of oil deposits would be drastically different depending on if YEC were true or not.
???It predicts it SHOULDN'T be found at all.
Sorry.Because there has not been enough time for it to form. Come on, AV, this is basic stuff.
Interesting how he could have made the universe any way at all, but he chose to make it in the exact way we'd expect it to be if he hadn't done anything and instead natural forces were responsible for everything.Sorry.
The word "predicts" threw me off.
Interesting that God can make an entire universe in six days; but He can't make oil?
Right -- you can't even tell me how we got our moon.Interesting how he could have made the universe any way at all, but he chose to make it in the exact way we'd expect it to be ...
If the Flood was true there would be a uniform distribution of fossil fuels.I'm a little rusty on YEC theology.
Do you mind telling me where YEC predicts oil should be found?
Why?If the Flood was true there would be a uniform distribution of fossil fuels.
Is him cleaning up predicted by YEC or is it post hoc rationalisation of YEC?Why?
What if God cleaned up His mess?
I think that I have told you at least seven (and perhaps ten) times that the favoured hypothesis for the last 40 years is that the Moon was formed from the material ejected by a collision between the Earth and a Mars-sized planet. The pre-Apollo hypotheses (that the Moon was formed by rotational fission, that it was captured from a heliocentric orbit, and that the Earth and the Moon were formed together in the same pre-planetary dust cloud) have long since been rejected.Right -- you can't even tell me how we got our moon.
There are what? some seven to ten different theories now?
And if all of science's expectations had come to pass, we wouldn't be here discussing this.
