• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I don't doubt the past at all.

You express those doubts in post after post. You invite the rest of us to join in your doubts. You accuse us of logical failure when we don't.

Not doubts about the past, just the invented fantasy past that godless science was inspired to conjure up.

No. There is every reason! That is how we find it!

With a different state past, why would you predict that we would see those specific ratios before we observed them?

Or better yet, please show how these ratios would be different if there really were a same state past. Or are you saying that a different state past would produce evidence identical to a same state past for no apparent reason?

It was not laws and/or forces of the past state that is responsible for the ratios. Creation is responsible, and what effect or change in ratios after that point we do not know. One assumes that the nature of that day was working and the forces and laws in place were doing what they do in affecting atoms. No one says we here in this state have to know it all, and the details of how it will work in the future, or the far past.
The issue with you is that you try to insist that this state always existed and nothing else. You then proceed to use this state to explain and accredit all things with. Of course when you use such a belief based set of methods and selective thinking you will end up with strange similar conclusions. You cannnot then turn around and try to impress us that all your mistakenly wrought conclusions seem to agree WITH EACH OTHER--AND ONLY IN A DREAM PAST!! Even there in that weird fantasy dream space in your mind, you yourself admit to wildly different so called dates, that you claim show harmonious agreement!! In the example you posted I showed how there was a 2.3 million year discrepancy for example.
Now forget obsessing on a different state past, focus on proving the same state past science uses and claims!

If it is invented, then tell us what those ratios should really look like with a same state past.
Nothing could look like a past in which there was no God, or creation. That is a red herring.

You didn't answer the question. Here it is again.

You have just admitted that even if there was proof of a same state past that you would ignore it. You have lost the debate.
Dream on. You have none, and never had and and will never have any proof for your godless state past. Trying to pretend that gives you a victory of some sort simply shows how defeated you really are.

He claims to be an agnostic, which means he is not postulating a godless state past, only that he is not referencing the existence of God in his descriptions of the past. So you might try to describe what he postulates a little more accurately.

Nope. Whether he knows it or not the nature in the past that he postulates has no God, so it is Godless. Christless. Creationless. Clueless!

The core of the sun is a giant nuclear fusion reactor, and the sun gives off a ton of radiation. It's one of the biggest, if not the biggest dangerous to astronauts.
Radiation...yes. Now prove that it comes from the core of the sun?

Does it matter? Where it happened is immaterial when the point is that it happened. The isotopes tell a story of prehistoric radiation.
It matters what they claim! Should there not be a basis to their claims?

Now about the isotopes...they have no meaning without all the things that they claim went on to set up the reactions. They claim uranium was a certain way back then...that enabled reactions...so prove it was that way?? You can't. The whole fable is a long string of invented happenings none of which can be proven in any way whatsoever. They just need it to be so. Period.

What if a reaction happened in the former nature and there was not all the things involved that we would need here now to get one??! That would mean no one needs all the now missing isotopes you claim once existed but decayed away! Prove they ever existed? You just need it.
