Still doesn't work. It takes an entire winter to create the dark ring for hibernation.
You assume the dark rings in the past were due to hibernation? Why? Because today's winters require such a thing? Think about it. Black bears in Florida do not hibernate, why? There is food, they don't need to.

Too wet and the roots will rot. Another problem.
Who says the mist coming up was too wet? You have some evidence for this? Who says that the tree needed as much water in the former light process? Etc Etc.

You also need an entire summer of warm weather to get the same thickness.
Now, yes. Then, no. Let's not pretend you have the different past all mapped out! Heavens. Let's face it here, if it really was a different past, and fabric of the universe, do you really think anything you could think of would ever really be any problem at all? No.
That leaves you with the dreams of a present based past, always assumed, that you were taught that is totally inapplicable. If only you could have evidenced the same past, you would have a case. As it is, you might as well have Leprachauns poofing the universe out of a tiny speck.

No, right!!

You're in top form today, I can tell.

So what? Are you suggesting that a day in the presplit world was uniform? No wetter periods? Get serious. Just replace the summer and winter bits with weeks, days, or even parts of the day.

So... You're basically admitting that the entire climate was faster?


So you're talking about having an entire year's worth of climactic variation over the course of a day? twenty inches of rain in the morning, high of 95 around noon, cool down all evening for snowfall during the night?

What you're missing is that everything is connected. You can't say, "this was faster", "that was faster", because this and that are intimately related with the nature of the earth. There is no difference between saying "everything was faster" and saying " the time was a lot longer".

So conservation of mass didn't apply before the split?
The mass that existed was different for starters. No PO mass was conserved. No PO mass existed.


The trees would also need to absorb a lot CO2 in a hurry. Was the pre-split atmosphere much higher in CO2 then. How did people breathe? The trees would also need to fix a lot of nitrogen from the soil in a hurry also.
Trees were well equiped to receive all they needed from the earth, and air, and light. Just as trees in heaven are. I don't see a tree on earth with a diierent fruit growing every month, do you? How much nitro does that have to suck out of the ground?


And yet there is no mention in the Bible of this remarkably different earth between the flood and the "split".
The split happened 100 years after the flood, before which was the different world. What is this different stuff between the flood and split? I don't get it.

You'd think there would some mention that trees now take year to grow instead of days or weeks. Consider the amount of "light" required for this fast growth.
After the flood, we still see trees growing in a week or so. Just like before. The trees needed no light to grow that we have ever seen. They used the light that used to exist before the split. A different light.

You'd think there'd be some mention of the sudden dimming of the lights in the time of Peleg, or the sudden appearance of gravity.
The changes were so awesome, and huge, that we can be sure men noticed a lot of things different. They noticed that they could not communicate with most people on earth all of a sudden, for example, and had to draw pictures to get thoughts across. (Heirioglypics). They noticed that their continent was wafted away from where it used to be perhaps, and maybe they noticed an ice age! My, the things, in therir reduced lifespans the people then noticed! Perhaps the different forces in place than gravity may have allowed heavy objects to be easily moved as well, and now, things were heavy as could be!? Why, building a pyramid now would take a coon's age if they tried it.

You just can't imagine how silly your nonsense seems to the rest of us can you?
Those bound by the strict limitations of the temporary present (and who assumed the future and past were also so bound) -would see the past they imagined as the same all this time, as very strange, I can see that. Hec, I can hardly believe it.

When you say 'continues to decline' that asumes that pre split, the lesser amount of carbon was due to decay as well. Which assumes the past was the same. Which assumes the trees grew at present rates.
But what have we really here? A pattern of less carbon in the trees, as we go futher back into the early life of the tree. (as well as other things). At the split, the growth rates changed radically, in the new conditions, light, air, earth, etc. A tree ring now takes a year to grow. The amount of carbon in the tree at the point of the split was still in a pattern, all that changes is the time it now takes to produce a ring. The pattern that existed pre split then, was similar to what we see now at least as far as the carbon that is less as time goes back. Since the tree pre split had less time to grow, the pattern used to take less time.

This doesn't make even the least bit of sense.
"Now living plants 'breathe' CO2 indiscriminately (they don't care about isotopes one way or the other), and so (while they are living) they have the same ratio of carbon 14 in them as the atmosphere. Animals, including humans, consume plants a lot (and animals that consume plants), and thus they also tend to have the same ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12 atoms. This equilibrium persists in living organisms as long as they continue living, but when they die, they no longer 'breathe' or eat new 14 carbon isotopes "
http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae403.cfm

So, now, while things are living, then, in this PO universe, and world, we have the same C14 levels as the atmosphere. In the past, where the world and universe were still merged, but biological life was not, but in a fallen state because of man, why would living things have the same C14 balance as the merged world around them???

Are you suggesting there was another form of radioactive decay presplit? I thought there was no decay presplit or maybe a little God directed decay or now maybe whatever you need to try to preserve your consistently inconsistant fantasy.
I was suggesting that the carbon got there some other way than decay. I was asking you to prove that it used to be decay.

We are talking about the ratio of carbon 14 to carbon 12. How is it that rings that were growing much faster than annually have 14C content that makes them appear to be annual rings and how does that correlate with 14C in lake varves? You need about 40,000 lake varves to have formed rapidly before they started forming annually and about 6,000 extra tree rings in tree ring chronologies and yet last 6,000 varves formed "rapidly" have 14C levels that correlate with the 6,000 tree rings just as if they had all formed annually and they both correlate with dates found for coral couplets. Your have not and can not explain this. As I predicted all you are doing is irrelevant hand waving.

Then how would the biological life that formed the lake varves correlate with the tree rings for 6,000 rings and then have 14C levels that continue to decline over the next 34,000 varves in a way that just happens to make both look annual?


I was suggesting that the carbon got there some other way than decay. I was asking you to prove that it used to be decay.
The carbon 14 didn't "get there" by decay. It got there when it was absorbed by the atmosphere and it has been decaying since in both the tree rings, varves and couplets just as expected. It has been decaying for up to 11,000 years in the oldest tree rings, 11,000 years in the 11,000 year old varves and 45,000 years in the oldest varves. A neat package that totally falsifies your nonsense.

The lakes varves were not disturbed by the rapid movement of continents because that only occurs in your fantasy. The varves in several lakes show no evidence of disturbance by the massive earthquakes that would be associated with rapid continent movement. In fact, they just provide more evidence against the rapid movement of continents, as if more were needed.


No problem? You have no explanation for the correlations discussed here. Merely stating "piece of cake" doesn't cut it.

Such scrill denial. There were no different laws of physics. There were no laws of physics. Physical only laws are fishbowl laws.
In other words you have no way to explain away this falsification of your nonsense.

F.B.

In other words God made sure we would be fooled into thinking the lake varves, tree rings, coral couplets and ice layers all indicate no global flood. You are making God out to be a liar again.
No, but if we do not listen to Him, we can get it real messed up.


So how is there agreement between the tree rings and the lake varves back to 11,000 year while the total lake varves go back 45,000 or more years?

By having agreement the past was different. Then we realize the agreement you thought you had is something thatwasn't there to begin with.

Why do the correlate with not only 14C dating but U-Th dating of corals?
Simple. There was no decay in the past. The daughter elements were there already, in cases where old ages are imagined.

Your "assumptions" do not agree with the evidence. They in no way explain the correlations between the lake varves, tree rings, coral couplets (by U-Th dating as well as 14C), and ice layers and why they all look annual.
Don't throw sand. It works like an orchestra playing together the finest of songs. Don't think by saying more than one thing, it helps your lack of a case.

This does not explain why 11,000 tree rings look annual,
Why not? I thought I covered that.


15,000 coral couplets look annual and 45,000 lake varve look annual.
I haven't got to varves yet. Corals, if they used photosynthesis had a different light. If the algae also used a different light, and put down say, a light and dark layer a day, then the 45,000 layers (let me guess, no one ever counted?) become 22 1/2 thousand deposits of varves. 61 years. Just to keep things in perspective.

Actually it does.

So you still have no explanations for the correlations in the data. How would different light lead to different U-Th dates that agree with the different 14C date in the corals that just happen to agree with data from tree rings lake varves from more than one lake and ice layers from both Greenland and Antarctica.

Your myth is busted.

Different light is not something we would associate with radioactive decay dating methods is it? Why obfusicate?


that agree with the different 14C date in the corals
The wildly wrong dates would be similar, I would think. Just as correct dates would be similar! The reason, of course is that you assume a present past, rather than a past that is different. If there was no decay, and you see present decay, superimposing by imagination that process and the time it takes on a past with no decay, universally, what do you get? A wildly wrong date. What kind of dating club consistantly gets the dates wrong?

I already brought up an interesting possibility for the carbon in the past from ntrogen.

that just happen to agree with data from tree rings
Now why do tree rings agree with a young earth, and no decay of the past, and everything else? You ask the wrong questions. Is it any wonder the answers are do far from the truth?

lake varves from more than one lake
It is not the number of lakes we see varves in, but how they were formed in the past. For example the fossils in Green River do not show a glacial past, do they? Yet are not many varves now glacially produced? So I think we would have to say, even by your old age same past reckoning, that varves are formed differently now some places. No?

The different light is your obfuscation but apparently you are now admitting that it can't explain the coral data.

The wildly wrong dates would be similar, I would think. Just as correct dates would be similar!
Why would the supposedly wildly wrong dates for 11,000 tree rings agree with the supposedly wildly wrong dates for the most recent 11,000 of the 45,000 varves and why would the wildly wrong dates from both 14C and U-Th dating of 15,000 coral couplets agree with the supposedly wildly wrong dates for the most recent 15,000 of the 45,000 varves? They wouldn't but correct dates would be expected to agree as they do. The don't. They get consistently correct dates when they date known historical events and dates consistent with each other by very different methods in different systems going back thousands of years before your alleged global flood, something you can't even begin to explain even with your different past nonsense.

I already brought up an interesting possibility for the carbon in the past from ntrogen.
An impossibility that doesn't even begin to explain the correlations in the data in any case.


Now why do tree rings agree with a young earth, and no decay of the past, and everything else? You ask the wrong questions. Is it any wonder the answers are do far from the truth?
They don't of. They agree with the lake varves, coral couplets and ice layers all demonstrating no global flood in the 45,000 years. You have given no explanation for the correlations at all. You split/merge nonsense can't explain these data.

It is not the number of lakes we see varves in, but how they were formed in the past. For example the fossils in Green River do not show a glacial past, do they? Yet are not many varves now glacially produced?
They are not exactly "glacially" produced they are produce in lakes that freeze over in the winter. The requirement is still water so that the fine material can settle. This can also happen if there is restricted in flow for other reasons but the Green River varves, which you are failing to explain another thread are not the issue here.
So I think we would have to say, even by your old age same past reckoning, that varves are formed differently now some places. No?
Perhaps but it is not relevant to the argument. You are just handwaving again. You still have absolutely no explanation for the data. You myth is busted.
