Taking questions on Embedded Age Creation

[Skaloop]

Maybe you could answer the question I asked about embedded age? Since that is the topic of the thread you created after all.

Well, the thread title and topic is technically that he is taking questions on embedded age. He didn't actually say anything about answering them...

Embedded Age is an eclectic explanation that combines YEC with the ages that science goes by, into one coherent cosmology.

"Embedded age" is like saying this:

Look at my old tractor!

It's really an AH64 Apache Longbow, but it's still an old tractor!

I'd hardly call it coherent. I feel more inclined to call it absolute and total gibberish, because that's exactly what it is.

(Posted 3.33 pm GMT) I'll ask you the same question then, Mike: Did the Jews have a right to their land prior to 1948?

(Posted 3.40 pm GMT) That's the spirit!

Keep dodging the question until it falls back about five pages, then someone starts in with: "What's your point, AV?"

I wonder if you guys even know why I'm asking it?

You gave me just seven minutes to answer that question before accusing me of dodging it, which you will see I did not.

You're the slippery eel here, AV, dodging questions left right and centre. Even this particular question about the Jews is a diversionary tactic because of your inability to deal with the questions you invited us to ask in the OP!!!

Do you have a question, or do you just want to sit like a baby in a highchair and make noise?

Agreed then, "embedded age" is gibberish.

I did not ask what it was, I asked why I should accept your Hypothesis that has neither physical or biblical evidence.

 

[AV1611VET]

I did not ask what it was, I asked why I should accept your Hypothesis that has neither physical or biblical evidence.

Because you're wise?

Because you know a good thing when you see it?

Because you can discern spiritual things?

Because you prayed about it?

Because you have a pastor with a doctorate in Theology and a doctorate in Divinity who preaches it?

Do you have a question, or do you just want to sit like a baby in a highchair and make noise?

The only noise I'm making is the clicking of my keyboard and the occasional laugh at your absurdities.

Is that human baby really a veloceraptor, but still a baby human?

I mean, if the Earth can be only 6100 years old, and still be 4.5 billion years old, then surely that kid can be a veloceraptor, too? amirite?

 

[Nathan Poe]

Agreed then, "embedded age" is gibberish.

Then we certainly didn't need yet another AV thread to tell us what all of us (including AV) knew all along.

 

[Belk]

Because you're wise?

Wise men generally do not accept completely un-evidenced things unless there is a compelling ulterior reason.

Because you know a good thing when you see it?

Sometimes I do. I do not judge this to be a good thing personally.

Because you can discern spiritual things?

Nope, been completely unable to see anything spiritual up to this point, let alone judge it.

Because you prayed about it?

Not my forte I am afraid

Because you have a pastor with a doctorate in Theology and a doctorate in Divinity who preaches it?

Again, no.

<sigh> left out again simply because I prefer evidence to emotional rhetoric. Ah well, such is life.

Thank you for addressing my question.

Embedded Age is an eclectic explanation that combines YEC with the ages that science goes by, into one coherent cosmology.

Then why is it so utterly incoherent?

Never mind -- I already know the answer. A recipe is only as good as its ingredients, and nothing worthwhile comes from adding YEC to anything.

 

[AV1611VET]

Is that human baby really a veloceraptor, but still a baby human?

Ask your prophet.

Didn't he write The Preservation of Favoured Races under inspiration?

Doesn't he say that baby would be a "glorified ape"?

I mean, if the Earth can be only 6100 years old, and still be 4.5 billion years old, then surely that kid can be a veloceraptor, too, right?

The earth can be 6100 years old existentially, and 4.57 billion years old physically --- yes.

(I see I'm going to have to go dig up my bicycle thread that shows an object having two different ages, depending on how you look at it.)

You mean my bicycle thread, don't you, AV? I mean, depending on how you look at it...

The rest of us see little wisdom in accepting a model which fails to explain what we see.

Because you know a good thing when you see it?

See above.

Because you can discern spiritual things?

Ahh... now we are getting closer to the truth. But you only believe that you can discern spiritual things better than the rest of us. That includes theistic evolutionists who worship the same god as you do, of course. And, of course, they are wrong and you are right.

Because you have a pastor with a doctorate in Theology and a doctorate in Divinity who preaches it?

Appeal to authority. A little surprising for you to make such an appeal, when you spit on the authorities in science when you don't like their conclusions..

Because you prayed about it?

OK... here we finally have the real reason you will not give up on your model. You prayed after the pastor you respect gave you E.A. and you decided to accept it. God answered your prayers and told you E.A. was correct. Of course, he didn't really answer you, and others have come up with different answers after they prayed, but in your mind, E.A. was confirmed by God himself. Therefore, it must be right. Is that about it?

 

[AV1611VET]

Appeal to authority.

That's right --- appeal to authority.

Like Joshua failed to do and ended up having to put up with the Gibeonites for the rest of his life.

Ah, this exchange:-

I've got Something better than evidence --- the Bible.

That's creationism, you don't need evidence because you have the bible and the answer to every question is Goddidit.

And the Bible portrays the antithesis of uniformitarianism as Truth.

That's good enough for me.

The bible may be good enough for you but the OT is still just stories dreamt up by bronze age people to explain away something they could not possibly comprehend, and would you believe, not very bright 21st century people are still falling for it, but I guess that's what they would call progress in the bible belt.

If you truly believe this, I have a question for you:

Did the Jews have a right to their land prior to 1948?

Let's see your level of comprehension.

Please explain what this has to do with the OP and embedded age? What has it got to do with testing levels of comprehension? What have Jews and their present homeland got to do with the age of the Earth?
