Soft Tissue Surviving 65 Million Years?
Dr writes:
(1) This is like saying: "I'm not saying that your clock is wrong, I'm saying that it doesn't run at a constant rate." This is a distinction without a difference.
(2) Yes, (young earth) creationists are saying that radiometric dating doesn't work. To admit that it worked would be to admit that it gives correct dates, which would be the first step towards the reality they are so desperate to avoid.
The only measure of time is the earths rotation and it's orbit around the sun.

There no doubt exist natural laws, but once this fine reason of ours was corrupted, it corrupted everything.

That would be false. It is also a ridiculous statement.
Google and find out what the Bureau of Standards uses to tell time and perhaps you'll learn something.
Too much stuff there Coyote, couldn't zero in on Time.
I didn't find it on a google search but I assume you use cesium as your clock. Bad move. Cesium relies on a constant speed of light. Which we now understand is a fallacy.

Obvious nonsense, Lucy. Does the Moon not orbit the earth where you live? Does the Sun not orbit in the Milky Way? Do pulsars not pulse in the Lucyverse?
Yes they do Coragyps, around us.

Really? Care to elucydate us, as us physicists are in the dark here Please note that evidence that alpha may have been different in the past by some femtoscopic fraction of a percent does not imply that considering the speed of light as constant is fallacious.
Most physicists are in the dark; dark matter, dark mass etc.
Voodoo science. With regards to the speed of light, are u not up to date with the science?

Re: Soft Tissue Surviving 65 Million Years?
cavedweller regarding the speed of light and the earths rotation as a clock writes:
what a tool..
Why have we been adding seconds to our time ever since we've been using the atomic clock as a standard? It can't be because the earth is slowing down, the earth is subject the laws of nature, in particular, the conservation of angular momentum.
Maybe the clocks a dud!
quote:
The theory of evolution requires unfathomable lengths of time — eons ... billions and billions of years.
Even with all that time, it's still hard to imagine how complex biochemicals such as hemoglobin or chlorophyll self assembled in the primordial goo. But to those of us who question the process, the answer is always the same. Time. More time than you can grasp — timespans so vast that anything is possible, even chance combinations of random chemicals to form the stunning complexities of reproducing life.
Modern physics is now considering a theory that could throw into confusion virtually all of the accepted temporal paradigms of 20th-century science, including the age of the universe and the billions of years necessary for evolution. Further, it raises the distinct possibility that scientific validation exists for a (gasp) literal interpretation of the seminal passages of Genesis. Goodbye Scopes trial.
