This, I believe, is commonly referred to as Last-Tuesday-ism.

Exactly. And it's what dooms dad's claims completely. Dad is basically claiming that all of science is wrong. Everything. That we can know nothing about either the past or the future.

If that is the case, then we can't trust the Bible. We can't trust revelation. We can't trust any written document. We can't trust any intuitive feelings about the past or future. We don't know that dad was born. We don't know that dad's parents were born. We know, quite literally, nothing.

Now, if that's the nihilist, existential position he wants to take, that's fine; but need to realize that he is discarding the Bible in doing so.

I think its actually Last Thursday-ism.

Science doesn't know everything. Just like you don't know everything. Unless you know everything, in which case let me know what I did on June 4, 1993.

So lets have everyone take a chill pill.

I personally believe in Matrix-ism whereby the makers of the Matrix were actually enlightened beings who made a movie about the real reality. Quick take the red pill!!!

You come across as being a very arrogant individual. The previous poster tried to answer your questions, and you proceeded to mock what he wrote. Do you know enough about the scientific positions on these subjects to argue?

If that was trying, he better try again.

Even if you don't believe findings from scientific research to be reliable or true, it is not nice to wave people's positions away in this way. People on this forum should give you the consideration of trying to understand your position. You should extend the same courtesy.
So what's yours?

Science is a method.

The bible is not science.
The bible puts the 'scio' back in science.



There is no method for learning. It gives you a conclusion (goddidit), with which you try to interpret and warp reality enough to fit it.

Thanks for sharing your vivid dreams.

Science starts with making an observation, then questioning how it works, and works toward a conclusion.

I observe that science does not know what state the future will be in. I also observe it makes predictions all over the place about the future. Some conclusion. Some 'observing'!! Get serious.
Again - I showed you my evidence, where's yours?

So that was your evidence...OK. Hilarious.

As their chief clown in charge "Dr." Hovind always said, "ignorant is being dumb on purpose."
Better than being ignorant and thinking you are clever. At least the former could be funny.

How far away is the Andromeda galaxy?

Good question. Since the heavens will roll up like a scroll, how far could it be? I think the view from earth is a sort of linear view of something that is multi dimensional. The distance is gauged by what we would expect if it was what it appeared to us here. But it may not be anything of the sort. If it was 72.1165437 th of a light year unit, and the state was different there than here, it would appear much further than that to us, who assume a same state all the way.

Almost sounds like it could be a Christmas song....same state all the way...



How long does it take for light to travel from that galaxy to Earth?
Which light? Our light? I am not certain it travels that far. Are you? How?

Going in circles here, you won't accept that we know how the 4 forces work. You keep asking and I keep telling you but you won't listen. *sigh* need a nap.[/FONT]



No one asked how they work. I ask what they are. Not just how it works.

Now, your qed claim on wiki...



"Confinement, which means that the force between quarks does not diminish as they are separated. Because of this, it would take an infinite amount of energy to separate two quarks; they are forever bound into hadrons such as the proton and the neutron. Although analytically unproven, confinement is widely believed to be true because it explains the consistent failure of free quark searches, and it is easy to demonstrate in lattice QCD."



So what you offer is unproven. Right at the first look.

Now, it goes on


"
Bosons are a family of elementary particles, alongside quarks and leptons.
In particle physics, gauge bosons are bosonic particles that act as carriers of the fundamental forces of nature.[1][2] More specifically, elementary particles whose interactions are described by gauge theory exert forces on each other by the exchange of gauge bosons, usually as virtual particles."


Seems like all this is trying to describe in it's vague way, is that the forces which interact and exert forces on each other do so in a certain way.

I'm not seeing the connection here -- assuming God is capable of rolling up the heavens like a scroll, why would that affect the distance of the Andromeda Galaxy?

That depends if there was a distance to it that we knew. To know that, we would need to know if space and time and laws and forces and light were the same there. All we see is stuff coming in the little realm that man knows. What is the method that we use to determine what we see is what the far universe totally consists of??

Science consists of Satanic fairy tales?
So called science. Yes. Real science knows what it is talking about.

Real science includes God, nit just the physical only nature that Satan would like to limit all things to. Talk about hell.

You refuse wisdom; you refuse knowledge; you refuse to learn.

The Bible says you are a fool. I've got lots more quotes that show how wrong you are.

You don't want to tangle with me on the Bible, dad; I know it better than you do. :crossrc:

You know squat. As evidenced.

Local galactic creations are administratively organized in accordance with certain creative principles governing the segmentation of the total energy charge of a superuniverse, whereas their physical components, the spheres of space — suns, dark islands, planets, etc. — take origin primarily from nebulae, and these make their astronomical appearance in accordance with certain precreative (transcendental) plans of the Architects of the Master Universe. These architects know the laws of science that are created to govern 'planet ocean and earth.'

:wave:

OK, so you don't know.

My position is utterly clear. If the bible was true, we would expect to see a single sedimentary layer with a mixture of all known fossils in it. QED the bible is wrong.

Ha! Finally. The ark had the kinds on it. Not all kinds...created kinds. Hence, we would NOT expect any layer with all modern fossils in it. You are very wrong. Gotcha.


I mean that.
