Documented history?If that's what Embedded Age is, then we can all lay this argument to rest as it is completely incorrect as there's plenty of history well past the 6,000 year mark.
Star bright.Star light.
Star bright.
Actually 4.5 years --- unless you want me to be pedantic, then I would say about 8 minutes.The light from the nearest star would take more than 10,000 years to get here.
Why would Embedded Age be making any predictions?Embedded Age doesn't make any predictions that would differentiate it from Last Tuesdayism.

It's history, not science.

Anyway, the problem with this theory is that it doesn't make any predictions. There's no way to differentiate this theory from Last Tuesdayism. In other words, there's no test or prediction you could make that wouldn't support your theory or disprove Last Tuesdayism, so it can't be explanatory in any scientific way.
That doesn't mean it isn't right, or whatever, but to science it's useless.

In another thread, I appreciate your recognition that theory (model) leads to meaningful observation. So I respond here.
The idea of embedded age is about the issue of time. If the idea addressed an issue, then it can be used to make prediction. So, any idea can be useful and can be expanded into a scientific project.
For example, if the past time could be embedded, could the current time also be an embedded one? This is not just a wild idea, it has a Biblical basis. And the suggested answer is a yes.

The truth will out in the end AV1611VET.I got news for Av. It's fiction, not history, regardless of how much he believes otherwise.

I think it was George Washington who said,
You can fool all of the people some of the time,
you can fool some of the people all of the time,
but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Embedded age along with creationism is not just a dead end it is the most dead end thing since the first dead end became know as a dead end,
they are in fact the mother and father of all dead ends, but that's just my opinion.
Actually, you are wrong about AVET's model not making predictions (even though he would like it that way). It does make predictions we can test and it fails them. According to E.A. (Embedded Age) God embedded age into the earth but not history. From this, we can make the prediction that the Earth has no history older than 6,100 years ago, since that was when it was created. In addition, God did not embed any history (such as scars, etc.). When we look at the Earth, however, we see lots of very old history. We find old impact craters, extinct coral reefs buried under the ocean, coal seams with fossils in them, evidence of volcanic activity thousands of years old, chalk deposits miles deep made from dead microorganisms, hundreds of thousands of ice rings in the Antartic, etc. All this shows that the Earth has a History far older than 6,100 years. According to E.A. it should not. Therefore, E.A. is falsified. Either the Earth was made far longer ago than 6,100 years, or God created it with a history that never happened. AVET refuses to accept this, because E.A. is one of his little pet paradigms and he doesn't really care if it works or not.Ugh.
Okay, fine, the light from the FARTHEST star takes longer than 10,000 years to get here.
Regardless, the rest of my post is valid. Embedded Age doesn't make any predictions that would differentiate it from Last Tuesdayism.
I'd appreciate a response to this.
Because the Past has an impact on the Present, whether you creationists like it or not.Why would Embedded Age be making any predictions?
