"The Laws of the Universe"
---
The Universe has no the laws. Just a matter (substance) have properties. The laws - it is scientific abstraction. The laws do not exist. =)
No? So laws do not exist? How about forces? What it is all a dream inside your head? You can jump off a tower and not fall?

What's the point of this game where you tell people everything was different but you have no idea what the differences were, and the text you seem to get your idea from describes everything as being pretty much the same as it is now?
What's the point of this game where you tell people everything was the same but you actually have no idea, and have chosen to ignore the actual observations of the record?

It's time for us to offer a new term: "variable-constant".
You can start do - found in Wikipedia: "variable speed of light".
You can also read the M-theory. And more.
Irrelevant drivel. If you want to offer a specific here, do so.

Well we have relative absolutes already; look at all the different versions of the absolute Law in the infallible book
?? Such as?


I see gravity being inapplicable when the spiritual is added to the mix, as in Jesus walking on water, or the ax floating up. etc. I see space being rendered meaningless when people in a boat immediately get to the other side of the sea...etc. The temporal laws are NOT absolute anywhere but in the fishbowl of this state, and even then only when not merged with the spiritual locally.

Your so-called record is incorrect.

I want your answer first. You know, I asked first.

So, when did the Earth start to rotate?
I agree with science, on the present rotation of the earth. Why wouldn't I?? Point? Now if you want to offer proof that the earth always rotated as now, even before the flood, do so? We can look at that.

The game has no point -- just so long as dad can continue to arbitrarily change the rules so that he is never committed to any answer; thus he can never be wrong.
The laws that are not known in the far past need not be changed. They need not have been here. What is needed is for you to stick to what you know. What the laws were or not is not included there.

Even the post flood and post split records show that physical laws are meaningless when the spiritual is added. It was not I that changed laws to calm the seas, or have fish or asses, or cows obey God's spirit, or dead bodies restored to health and life, or gravity danced all over, etc etc.

What we have here is the inability of science to enforce present laws anywhere that God has not decreed them to be in force!

The forces is - exist. But Newton's Law of Gravitation do not exist. It is scientific abstraction. The matter has properties. And the properties may vary.:

You still avoid the question. I'm asking you "when the Earth started to rotate?". The question didn't imply that you do not accept the current state of things. So, if the Earth is rotating, and you agree with that, at some point of its existence it must start to do so. It is either at the moment of its creation, so it was created rotating or it could be any other moment when the Earth changed its rotation from static to rotating. So, can you use your theory to show when it happened?

Forget Newton. There is a force we can call gravity. Why it works is above your pay grade.
The matter have only the property. And the properties may(can?) - vary.:
Especially when the spiritual is added. Boy has that been shown to vary from the norm. Easter is like that. Case in point.

At all? Or as is?

The evidence indicates that the heavens will be different in the future. Also in the far past. So I would expect that major changes came after creation. If rotation was the mechanism for rapid continental separation, that might make sense..we would need to look at the evidence...what is known. The axis is not known to have been the same, for example..right?

Hmm, I'n under the impression that the laws have stayed constant- at least according to our knowledge of the Universe. But who knows? They could always change in the future. There's no evidence to suggest that they can't.
You are misinformed then. Unless you mean since the laws came to be. That would not be long ago, just after the flood, if the records are correct.

What you echo is the common mistake of so called science.

That is the most basic sort of science.

"laws" (an old fashion term) are just descriptions of what has always proven to be true in all tests. There is no way to say that it will always apply in all possible situations.

"There is no evidence that they cant change" is true, but pretty useless.

What do you do with it? its like saying there is no evidence to suggest bigfoot cant be just around the next corner. What do you DO with that kind of information? Its really completely useless.

Well, after the last huge earthquake in Japan it moved slightly, so yes the axis is known to move, at least slightly. That however is connected with events releasing massive amount of energy, like earthquakes. That's what we know. What is your projection into the past?

I think the laws might have changed slightly (I'm talking less than 0.01% since the very early universe). It seems you're aware that the laws could have been different right after the big bang, there's also serious work being done since then by real scientists.

However, even if these ideas become conclusive and gain the scientific consensus, it won't do much for the creationist position as the changes are too small to effect things like radiometric dating, age of the universe, or using light from stars to show a minimum age in any meaningful way (it's like saying the universe is 99.9 years old instead of 100 years old).

Don't know why the laws changed (assuming that they did), but there is evidence that they have based on analysis of quasars (and comparing their spectra with spectra of closer/earlier stellar objects). I can't post links yet (not enough posts yet) but for references look up the work of John Webb and Victor Flambaum on quasars and variable speed of light hypotheses in cosmology.
