Questions about origins of life timeline

[Loudmouth]

Because dad believes Jesus walked on water?

Because dad believes that there is an invisible fishbowl around the Earth that changes the passage of time in a manner that is indistinguishable from no fishbowl at all.

He does? I thought he just asked if time could be different than that which we experience in our spacetime? Since you don't know, remember our friend, Cork.

 

[dad]

Until immigration shows up.

Does the bible have a policy on immigration? (Especially a wicked country led by an antichrist terrorist?)

Is this the point where you pretend to speak for God?

 

[dad]

No, because dad thinks that god didn't do the laws of physics correct the first time around and had to change them at some point.

What is correct for today may not be correct for the future.

What god needs to fix a universe that is supposedly already fine tuned? You make your ideal deity appear lesser that way.

Actually all creation groans to be delivered right now. This is not the nature that is best or of the future, and I daresay, probably not of the far past.

An omnipotent and all knowing being would be able to construct laws of physics that would always work.

He had to make a prison for depraved sinners. A prison has different rules.

Hell isn't on earth though, so it wouldn't impact physics here.

I meant change the world so wicked man had more limits...much smaller life span...spirits separated somewhat...continents separating peoples..etc. One day we get out of jail though

I don't recall things such as radioactive decay rates having to change to make such things happen. Also, wicked people don't really seem to have shorter life spans than good people do (relatively speaking with wicked and good),

Who says they changed, unless you prove they existed first then?

We used to live nearly 1000 years. Men that is, maybe women a bit more for all we know. Now you are old at 100.

We used to live nearly 1000 years. Men that is, maybe women a bit more for all we know. Now you are old at 100.

Current world record sits at 122 years of age for women, 115 years of age for men. As far as I can tell from the bible, women didn't seem to live much different lifespan wise then men did, though it is hard to tell as their ages at death aren't mentioned as much.

Radiometric dating is not guessing.

Fraid so. It is the best guess people think is available, but no two estimates ever match, not do any to methods ever match. People pick and choose which method they THINK applies best to a particular sample. But nobody knows because rocks don't have dates on them we can use to check the accuracy.

Though some events are documented in history and those dates can be checked.

 

[Loudmouth]

It's not a guess. It's based on the direct measurement of decay rates and the ratio of isotopes in rocks.

but no two estimates ever match, not do any to methods ever match.

That could be said about different scales and the measurement of weight. That doesn't mean that weight is a guess.

 

[SkyWriting]

Nah AV, you are definitely more tolerable than dad is.

What is key is who is more tolerant.

No it couldn't. Weights have standards
and are highly regulated by teams of
government workers on multiple continents.
There are no standards for guessing the
age of rocks.

“There are always more unknowns in your measurements than you can think of,” Lindstrom says.

Mass spectrometers have standards, too. Decay rates have standards, too.

But your samples are not dated. There are no dated standards.
