Hell, why not even show me from the bible where it says God sprinkled fossils about and set everything at specific levels of decay just to mess with our heads?

It's kinda difficult for people who cover their ears and go "LALALALALALALALA!!! I win." during science class.![]()
I made no such assumption, since there is no evidence that an ark ever existed.No. You assume that all known animals were there on the ark.
No, actually there isn't. The mutation/selection rates have been fairly well studied and the "hyper evolution" that creationists require is physically impossible; you cannot increase the mutation rate enough without killing the gene pool.There is a little thing called hyper evolution.
We have no evidence that mass hyper evolution occurred.You see, in the former state, it appears that evolving happened very fast.
It's your claim; you need to show me why it's wrong. Given the Biblical chronologies, 6000 is about the maximum age the Bible claims for the earth.Also, your 6000 years of disturbance shows a wrong preconception.
Sorry, but there is no evidence whatsoever that such a thing took place, and if it did, the radioactive meltdown would vaporize the crust.It seems that a state change, that is a change in forces and laws occurred after the flood, likely in the days of Peleg, when the earth was 'divided'.
There is no evidence that a global flood occurred, and all the available evidence (and I do mean all) shows that it did not, since the necessary geological layer does not exist.That is somewhere, likely about a century and change after the flood year.
The rapid continental movement rate is impossible, since the energy involved would have boiled the oceans and produce a massive deposition of igneous rock. No such evidence exists.Mountain building, and rapid continental separation, and ice age, and other events may well have occurred around this time.
Would you like to work through the kinetic energy equations required for that? The planet would most likely be melted down to the bedrock.The disturbance that matters, therefore is not the 6000 years, but that few months, or weeks, or days, or hours when this change came down.
Decay rates are extremely well tested - I've done many myself. The physics is sound - otherwise every nuclear plant on the planet would fail to work.Ho hum.. Have you tested whether there was any decay at all yet? You assume a decay state existed, and is responsible for all we see. No. I highly doubt that, and it cannot be proven.
Did I say anything about the future?You know squat about the science that applies in the future.
No, actually, I don't. Evidence of past occurrences can be found and used to extrapolate past activities.You need a present state for your science to apply.
Since I don't need to, this is irrelevant.Can you therefore prove a present state existed in the far past? No.
I know a great deal more than you do - even about the Bible.So I guess you don't know all you thought you knew.
So far you haven't presented any counter-evidence at all. The science is sound.Right, if you had grasped the concept, you would not be talking old school strawmen physical only science here.
Actually, yes. We can.OK. So, our present state is governed by our present laws and forces. Can you prove that these were in place and even existed pre flood?
This is false. We have shown that decay rates and nuclear activity has not changed significantly in the past.No. That has merely been assumed.
The four forces are particle interchanges on a mass scale.You do not even know what gravity or the weak and strong nuclear forces or time or etc ARE!!!
It's called science. Surely you've heard of it? It built the computer you're typing on. It built the medicines that keep you alive. It built the car you drive; the roads you drive on; the power plants and electrical grid that keeps you lit and warm.How could you then, possibly apply them to the far future or past!!!!!??
False; the evidence for the Big Bang is quite sound. CMB, galactic redshift, etc.There was no fantasy universe stuffed in a little hot soup.
It's not based on belief. It's based on evidence. And extrapolation. Do you have any evidence to support your position?That is a fable. Nothing can support that, but religion. The belief system that our present earth rules have existed and applied always, and even before creation!
I see. So all those engineers who built cars, ships, dams, computers, the internet, etc. They learned all that from Mickey Mouse cartoons?Referring to Mickey Mouse telling stories to kids was no accident, that is what modern education IS.
With the Bible? It's a tissue of lies, nonsense, interesting poetry, and myth. There is nothing in it to help in our modern world.Getting that sinking feeling yet? Don't fear it. After you realize that all you thought you knew is out the window, there is hope to start afresh, and get it right this time.
It's about truth. I have some; you have none.That's what its all about.
Yes, you are beat. But let's be honest here, the issue is how you have been looking at them ol dead bones and stuff. You have been looking at em as if they were always in this present state and laws. That is belief. Nothing more.
The Extraterrestrials set up these forces before they traveled back to The Other Dimension.Anyone know what causes gravity? Exactly? How about the strong or weak nuclear forces? How about atomic spin? Where do the forces in our universe, or part of it, come from? How did they get there, according to science? Why must they be as they are?
For Christians, the answer is obvious. God created it, and set it up that way. Intelligently designed, and set in motion.
Science knows somewhat about how physical laws work, but not what they are!
This is one reason we may not assume our laws will be here till the universe dies from them. Or that they were here at creation.
Gravitons R.I.P.
So, laws here in our physical world, and environs are set up for here and now. Not forever.
The Extraterrestrials set up these forces before they traveled back to The Other Dimension.
Once again you must show us the evidence that its changed in the past.
False. The strong nuclear force you did not explain. Why not just face it?I did about twice. Once again you seem to only read what you want to see.
Look, if God has quarks huddle together in particles or whatever, that works for me. Have you some free quark of interest here? Why keep mentioning this??I just answered the question you asked explaining why you don't see any free quarks and you've justed asked once again why we have never seen free quarks?
That says a lot. Wait...it says nothing. So what is the strong force and why do quarks congregate in hadrons?Quarks are always in hadrons, by definition a hadron is a composite particle that is made up of quarks and is held together by the strong force.
Not really. I just do not see flavors a a problem. Vive la differenace.4th flavour of neutrino? Can I have a link? The point is that you brought up the flavours as some sort of problem to you and I wanted you to tell me why but now you just said that you don't care.
John was taken there and wrote revelations.You know time travellers who have told you the future?
No one has science for anything like that that I am aware of. The bible suggests a spiritual connection.Do you even have any evidence that stars are spiritual and are not made of purely physical material?
Again, that doesn't mean that is the only way they can be produced.It was even in the article you quoted, via cosmic rays that hit the earth.
No. You just leave it as not knowing. OK.I agree but I don't fill that gap with whatever I please.
No, I wondered why off topic so called facts were harped on by certain posters.You brought it up in the first place. You wondered why they bothered adding facts to a Wikipedia article.
Evidence for....what?We have evidence and that evidence has lead us to the current theories and conclusions. We then wait to get more evidence to then move on.
Then you will need more than belief to formm some alternate reality.God's word is not evidence. You can have your belief and I'll stick with reality.
What is "it"?So prove it wrong, already.
Likely is not in the dictionary of the informed.Additionally, as we can all see, there's probably no way around the stupidity in thinking that a book could be wrong is far less likely than the universe just having different laws of physics, chemistry, and electromagnetism a few thousand years ago.
Show me this evidence that the laws of nature were the same at any time in the far past. Until then, welcome to belief.Show me this evidence that the laws of nature were different at any time in the past.
Fossils are from dead things. Any mess is in your head.Hell, why not even show me from the bible where it says God sprinkled fossils about and set everything at specific levels of decay just to mess with our heads?
Well, if you claim all creatures need to be represented at the flood time, you do make an assumption that they were there.I made no such assumption, since there is no evidence that an ark ever existed.
No, actually there isn't. The mutation/selection rates have been fairly well studied and the "hyper evolution" that creationists require is physically impossible; you cannot increase the mutation rate enough without killing the gene pool.
We have no evidence that mass hyper evolution did not occur.We have no evidence that mass hyper evolution occurred.
The time frame is not what I meant was wrong. As I explained, the sudden change time is the time that matters.It's your claim; you need to show me why it's wrong. Given the Biblical chronologies, 6000 is about the maximum age the Bible claims for the earth.
Absurd. You assume some change IN decay rates. No. If there was no decay, no meltdown is expected.Sorry, but there is no evidence whatsoever that such a thing took place, and if it did, the radioactive meltdown would vaporize the crust.
There is no evidence that physical only, present state science is aware of for the flood. Since it involved more than the present state, can you see why?!There is no evidence that a global flood occurred, and all the available evidence (and I do mean all) shows that it did not, since the necessary geological layer does not exist.
The rapid continental movement rate is impossible, since the energy involved would have boiled the oceans and produce a massive deposition of igneous rock. No such evidence exists.
Decay rates are extremely well tested - I've done many myself. The physics is sound - otherwise every nuclear plant on the planet would fail to work.
Science does. You have to wear it.Did I say anything about the future?
False! Not unless the states are the same.No, actually, I don't. Evidence of past occurrences can be found and used to extrapolate past activities.
I know a great deal more than you do - even about the Bible.
..To.....what?So far you haven't presented any counter-evidence at all. The science is sound.
Nope.Actually, yes. We can.
In no way is that true. Why not be honest? Where do you think you have shown that??This is false. We have shown that decay rates and nuclear activity has not changed significantly in the past.
The four forces are particle interchanges on a mass scale.
It's called science. Surely you've heard of it? It built the computer you're typing on. It built the medicines that keep you alive. It built the car you drive; the roads you drive on; the power plants and electrical grid that keeps you lit and warm.
CMB is a state change remnant, or creation remnant. Redshift need not be caused as it is here in our state, on earth. That is merely a projection of a belief that all things must be the same way out there. No.False; the evidence for the Big Bang is quite sound. CMB, galactic redshift, etc.
It's not based on belief. It's based on evidence. And extrapolation. Do you have any evidence to support your position?
I see. So all those engineers who built cars, ships, dams, computers, the internet, etc. They learned all that from Mickey Mouse cartoons?
With the Bible? It's a tissue of lies, nonsense, interesting poetry, and myth. There is nothing in it to help in our modern world.
[/QUOTE]You're REALLY not very good at this, are you?![]()
So this is your explanation of forces. OK.The Extraterrestrials set up these forces before they traveled back to The Other Dimension.
I made no such assumption.Well, if you claim all creatures need to be represented at the flood time, you do make an assumption that they were there.
No, actually I don't. I'm talking about the physical ability of DNA to mutate. There are limits on the rate.Absurd short sightedness. You assume present state evolving.
We have no evidence that mass hyper evolution did not occur.
You have no evidence the sudden change happened, and we have lots of evidence (geological and astronomical, predominantly) that it didn't.The time frame is not what I meant was wrong. As I explained, the sudden change time is the time that matters.
Radioactive elements decay. Period. No known mechanism can change the rate, slow them down, or stop them. If no decay happened, the the Oklo reactor couldn't have happened. And we know it happened longer than 6000 years ago, since the trace radiation would be detectable.Absurd. You assume some change IN decay rates. No. If there was no decay, no meltdown is expected.
There is no evidence that it occurred. There is no evidence that any state change occurred.There is no evidence that physical only, present state science is aware of for the flood. Since it involved more than the present state, can you see why?!
How? Without leaving evidence? Prove that this 'state change' occurred.No. Thermodynamics is something in this present state. No great heat was generated in the different state past. Like in creation week. Land and waters were separated...no great heat.
Decay rates have existed since the end of the Inflation epoch.Decay rates only matter where decay exists.
I have to address what I've said - not something you made up.Science does. You have to wear it.
But we can prove that the states have not changed.False! Not unless the states are the same.
You were the one bragging. I was just pointing out that you don't know all that much - given your comments.Like a pat on the back?
Science is coherent, cohesive, and self-correcting. Religion is not...To.....what?
Endless denial is not convincing. Where are your facts? Your evidence?Nope.
It is true, and I am being honest. Are you even capable of understanding the math if I point you to the papers?In no way is that true. Why not be honest? Where do you think you have shown that??
Your inability to understand something doesn't make it wrong. And I am being perfectly honest: you're not very good at this; you simply don't understand enough science to hold a meaningful discussion.Meaningless. Just be honest.
You shouldn't; it might hurt your knees.All kneel.
Nope. It's a big bang remnant. The math is sound. If you disagree, take the challenge:CMB is a state change remnant, or creation remnant.
We can prove they're the same.Redshift need not be caused as it is here in our state, on earth. That is merely a projection of a belief that all things must be the same way out there. No.
Excellent. You agree that you have no evidence at all to support your beliefs. Good to know.Nope. Pure 100% uncut belief. The extrapolations are based on that same state belief.
They didn't build ships to Eden, or creation, or heaven, or the far past, or future. Build me all the bridges you like, just realize that they do not involve the creation debate.
Prove it.Nonsense. It points to the only hope and salvation of men.
I don't need to be. Consider the opposition.
Likely is not in the dictionary of the informed.
Show me this evidence that the laws of nature were the same at any time in the far past. Until then, welcome to belief.
So, were present creatures there or not in your world?I made no such assumption.
I am talking about the previous state abilities. There were no present limits.No, actually I don't. I'm talking about the physical ability of DNA to mutate. There are limits on the rate.
Claiming it did is in the same boat. Either you know or not. Otherwise, I'll take God's word, thanks.Sorry. I'm looking for evidence; claiming that "well, you can't prove it DIDN'T occur" isn't evidence. It's a cop out from someone who has no evidence.
Show us this evidence it didn't. You actually don't have any. Why pretend?You have no evidence the sudden change happened, and we have lots of evidence (geological and astronomical, predominantly) that it didn't.
No one asked what happens now. That is known. No one said we could change it. The issue is what happened in the far past. You can't change that by looking only at the present.Radioactive elements decay. Period. No known mechanism can change the rate, slow them down, or stop them.
False. Your version of what happened, based on fantasy would merely be wrong. It is.If no decay happened, the the Oklo reactor couldn't have happened.
False. If there was no decay, where would one get some trace radiation???And we know it happened longer than 6000 years ago, since the trace radiation would be detectable.
No. They show that layers happened. So?Oh, and varves prove the flood never happened. Just thought I'd mention it.
No evidence a stats change did not occur. Since science was not around yet, history and the bible can be looked at. They agree with me. Fancy that.There is no evidence that it occurred. There is no evidence that any state change occurred.
It it not I that have a lack of evidence for a same state past. That would be you. As anyone that can read can see here. Where is it? Hiding?You keep having this little problem called, "lack of evidence." When you couple that to the wishful thinking / mythology compendium you call the Bible, you've got a recipe for disaster.
How would God change laws and forces? Well, since you don't even so much as know what forces are, why ask you? We are the evidence. Our state was left like this. You just read it wrong.How? Without leaving evidence? Prove that this 'state change' occurred.
Never happened, that is religious imagination. I would like to use stronger language here, but can't.Decay rates have existed since the end of the Inflation epoch.
You are sadly and totally mistaken. You sure can't. Lurkers, watch her fail here.But we can prove that the states have not changed.
That kicks squat. I do not say some variation IN decay happened. Strawman.And that's the kicker, daddy: we can demonstrate that no significant variation in radioactive decay, speed of light, etc. has occurred in millions of years.
The bible and history record many stark differences. The spiritual is involved. Taking that away is not something science would know about.You just keep claiming that "something changed". You can't explain what changed, you can't explain when it changed, you can't explain how it changed, and you can't even show that it DID change.
I am not defending 'religion'. Science is limited in what it can deal with, and can correct.Science is coherent, cohesive, and self-correcting. Religion is not.
Math can't help you. No more than paper airplanes can.It is true, and I am being honest. Are you even capable of understanding the math if I point you to the papers?
Not at all. You just run numbers on selective things. Meaningless. 'gee, if the universe sailed out of a tiny speck o soup, there would be a less than uniform temperature expected' Whoopee do. If a big toad passed gas, and the universe came sailing out, we might say the same thing. Run the math on that.Nope. It's a big bang remnant. The math is sound. If you disagree, take the challenge:
Educated guess.show us HOW CMB is a state change remnant. Prove it.
Excellent. So get on with it then. Time is a tickin. Who knows, some newbie lurker might think you have something! Let's see what you got.We can prove they're the same.
Observations of people that lived and God's word are all we have. Not like science was here.Evidence. Give us this evidence that things have changed. Just asserting it won't work.
Since you are defeating yourself, you save me work.Are you planning to start debating sometime soon? Y'know, present actual arguments supported by evidence? I'm doing all the work here.
Jesus did that. Look at a calendar. 2010 years ago, was the closest they could set things to. It refers to Jesus. Not a spaghetti monster.Prove it.
That depends on your perspective. Like the 2 blondes on a different side of the river calling out...the one was waving and yelling, 'come to the other side, come to the other side'. The other blonde would yell once in awhile as she waved.. 'I am on the other side, I am on the other side'.You're the opposition.
We have no evidence that mass hyper evolution did not occur.
Claiming it did is in the same boat. Either you know or not.
Dadhoc says otherwise.I made no such assumption, since there is no evidence that an ark ever existed.
According to dadhoc and many other Creationist guessworks, YES THERE IS! Period. End of story.No, actually there isn't.
Blah blah blah goddiditendofstoryjustbelieveafairytaledontquestiondadoranyothercreationist.The mutation/selection rates have been fairly well studied and the "hyper evolution" that creationists require is physically impossible; you cannot increase the mutation rate enough without killing the gene pool.
Dad interprets the bible. End of story.We have no evidence that mass hyper evolution occurred.
The claim of the bible, dontcha know? That's all the so-called 'evidence' dad needs, along with dadhoc explanations.It's your claim; you need to show me why it's wrong. Given the Biblical chronologies, 6000 is about the maximum age the Bible claims for the earth.
The dadhoc explanation of the bible says otherwise, dontcha know?Sorry, but there is no evidence whatsoever that such a thing took place, and if it did, the radioactive meltdown would vaporize the crust.
AHEM- The Bible says so, the Bible is evidence! The Bible TRUMPS actual physical evidence!!!!111one!!111 The Bible is THE ONE AND ONLY EVIDENCE needed by dad and his ilk.There is no evidence that a global flood occurred, and all the available evidence (and I do mean all) shows that it did not, since the necessary geological layer does not exist.
Geee RG, you missed it, didn't you? God can do ANYTHING, even create lying evidence for His creation, dontcha know? He can also send the floodwaters to Mars or Neptune (depending on the interpretation given by any Creationist)The rapid continental movement rate is impossible, since the energy involved would have boiled the oceans and produce a massive deposition of igneous rock. No such evidence exists.
Equations? Creationists don't need no stinkin' equations.Would you like to work through the kinetic energy equations required for that? The planet would most likely be melted down to the bedrock.
Y'know, except for God. And the Bible. And personal made up garbage.Decay rates are extremely well tested - I've done many myself. The physics is sound - otherwise every nuclear plant on the planet would fail to work.
Well hey, the bible predicts the future, right? So the rest of us just LOSE.Did I say anything about the future?
But gee, the Bible says otherwise.No, actually, I don't. Evidence of past occurrences can be found and used to extrapolate past activities.
But don't you need to "prove" the scientific version of the past just like Creationists "prove" their versionS?Since I don't need to, this is irrelevant.
Oh, just get ready for dadhoc, dispensation theology, GAP theory, etc etc etcI know a great deal more than you do - even about the Bible.
Gee whiz, you just don't get it do you? EVERYTHING dad posts is PURELY based on his personal interpretation of "bible-evidence".So far you haven't presented any counter-evidence at all. The science is sound.
His personal interpretation of the Bible is evidence that says otherwise. Dad's personal interpretation of the Bible is infallible.Actually, yes. We can.
He calls it "so called science". Remember science=YOULOSE from his pov.It's called science. Surely you've heard of it? It built the computer you're typing on. It built the medicines that keep you alive. It built the car you drive; the roads you drive on; the power plants and electrical grid that keeps you lit and warm.
It's called science. It works.
Religion? Not so much.[/quote}
TOTALLY works for him and many others on these forums.
Well, you are dealing with dad and others who COMPLETELY conflate actual BBT with popular science intarweb sites that make serious mistakes regarding the BBT, such as the BB took place at a single point. Honestly, a lot of people misunderstand BBT. Heck, witness dad's statement regarding the "little hot soup" (not backed up by BBT at all, yet he and many others hold to it)False; the evidence for the Big Bang is quite sound. CMB, galactic redshift, etc.
In the end, you CANNOT convince "earth has a huge diamond core" dad (who based his entire argument on an OCCULT, non-christian related site), you cannot change his mind, and even other (a bit more rational) Creationists would rather give him Reps and REFUSE to argue against him than agree with you.
Hun, Ive been here for a few years, and you can present whatever evidence you want, but dad will NEVER agree with actual science.
But on the other hand, ya gotta love putting "I'm just gonna make up reality" people on Ignore.![]()
The only pre science evience we have is man's records. That works for me.
False. The strong nuclear force you did not explain. Why not just face it?
Look, if God has quarks huddle together in particles or whatever, that works for me. Have you some free quark of interest here? Why keep mentioning this??
That says a lot. Wait...it says nothing. So what is the strong force and why do quarks congregate in hadrons?
Not really. I just do not see flavors a a problem. Vive la differenace.
Fourth flavor of neutrino? Physics experiment suggests existence of new elementary particle
John was taken there and wrote revelations.
No one has science for anything like that that I am aware of. The bible suggests a spiritual connection.
Again, that doesn't mean that is the only way they can be produced.
No. You just leave it as not knowing. OK.
No, I wondered why off topic so called facts were harped on by certain posters.
Evidence for....what?
Then you will need more than belief to formm some alternate reality.
No, you're making the positive claim. You prove it. That's how it works.
If I actually go through the whole rigamarole of explaining how positive claims bare the burden of proof are you actually going to listen?
There is NO reason to believe the laws of gravity and forces have ever changed. It's the default position. It's just not automatically assumed that the laws of physics or nature have ever been different... ever.
I'm absolutely certain that you have no evidence. This is why you are failing miserably. In fact, I notice your flawless record of intentionally ignoring any and all requests for evidence of any kind.
