The Laws of the Universe

[Jazer]

I have a grade 9 education. I must be somewhat intelligent!

That is one year more then most people.

And what evidence from reality tells us that?

Punctuated equilibrium was Harvard Professor Stephen Jay Gould's theory. He tended to counter Darwin's theory that evolution was Phyletic gradualism. Although people like Richard Dawkins argue that Darwin never said that.

 

[Jazer]

When the Bible contradicts reality, reality wins.

The Bible does not contradict reality, you can only contradict a interpertation or translation of the Bible. You maybe right that what you call reality can help us to come to a better understanding of our Bible. There are many interpertations and translations and reality perhaps can help us to know what is more accurate, so we can have a better understanding. It's a tool we can use.

for the sin of leaving my hair uncovered in public.

Hair is given for a covering. "15But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering."

 

[Jazer]

That way, if one person makes a mistake, other can notice it and point it out.

I am so glad we do not have to worry about science making a mistake.

I asked for evidence, not a claim. Provide evidence please.

So, what you're saying is that a book cannot contradict reality because we can interpret it to not contradict reality. Wouldn't that be applicable to every single book, writing, and idea ever?

Not sure why you are saying this, we've all read the bible. But according to Islam, my going about exposing my hair in public will result in a most harsh punishment. The hair itself is supposed to be covered.

According to one version, it will consist of me being hung by my hair in an eternal fire.

sounds to me as if every time the bible makes a mistake, somoeone comes along and says oh that is a mistranslation. and others of course say, Lo there, it is not a mistranslation,

the bible says quite a few things, with unmistakable clarity, that contradict reality.

Ye noahs ark story would be a good start on that, the tower of babel would do as another. then there is genisis.

So I am a cut above by your standards. OK.

 

[dad]

When the Earth started to rotate then?

What does science say?

 

[dad]

Okay, Dad, let's see if we can establish something that we can agree on.

Do you agree that the different radio dating techniques work accurately assuming a same state?

How would one detemine that they meet up reasonably close in a world that never was and a time that never was and a state that never was?? And what would such a fantasy agreement mean??

Do you agree that for as long as the laws of the universe have been as they are now that radio-dating will give accurate results?

Yes. So how long was that?

The Universe has no the laws. Just a matter (substance) have properties. The laws - it is scientific abstraction. The laws do not exist. =)

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?

 

[SharpSolaris]

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.

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


We are expecting the The Law of Averages, and The law of Diminishing Returns to be going out next.

 

[SharpSolaris]

My post about not only the theory of relativity. It Is the answer to...:
Quote - "If the laws were different back then, in what way were they different?". And etc.

Example - in the article in Wikipedia "Variable speed of light":
"The idea from Moffat and the team Albrecht-Magueijo is that light propagated as much as 60 orders of magnitude faster in the early universe...". etc
Also, M-theory has only a "variable-constant".

That is, maybe, the laws were different back then.

This articles is serious. It is not creationism.

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

So, when did the Earth start to rotate?

The point is that it makes dad feel clever to get people like you to respond to his gibberish. Just think... without the internet, where would dad be now? Maybe publishing his own little newspaper, that no one reads. With the internet, he gets all this attention. It may even be enough to satisfy his bloated ego.

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.
