Re: And now some questions on past times
There was no tower of Babel. It's a myth. It is fictional. There were people writing in China, India, Mesopotamia, and Egypt before the time when the story of the biblical flood is supposed to have happened. They kept on writing right through the biblical flood and never bothered to mention it. I think they all have Flood stories though, don't they? The real problem is just that the dating is wrong: they did all their writing after the Flood.

Re: And now some questions on past times
The Egyptians didn't have a flood-everything story.

Re: And now some questions on past times
I think they all have Flood stories though, don't they? Do they? Can you show them to us?
The real problem is just that the dating is wrong: they did all their writing after the Flood. The actual evidence shows there was never a global flood anytime when humans existed. The whole purpose of this thread is presenting evidence for dating methods. What dating methods do you use?

Re: And now some questions on sanity
My guess as to when the flood was is based on many facets of science and the bible and history. In other words it is made up and could not be reproduced by anyone else (a key element of actual science processes).
Measuring a year in the far past on earth by this current nature is nothing more than a statement of faith. Except that it is independently reproducible by others and that it cross-references with other systems. Enjoy

Re: Small clarification for you and Percy
Missing rings do occur in trees grown in this nature. To assume it was also true in the past nature is nothing more than blind faith in a same state past. Sadly -- for you -- it can be documented by comparing two independent dendrochronologies. This was done with the Bristlecone pines, and two missing rings were documented. From EvC Forum: The Age of the Earth (version 3 no 1 part 1)
Accuracy of tree ring dating of Bristlecone Pine for calibration of the radiocarbon time scale(3)
quote:
... The final chronology contains 5403 annual values ...
... Year-by-year comparison indicates that the rings dated at 5859M and 5330M are absent from the Campito chronology. Insertion of a nominal value of '0' for the ring width index for each of these years (Figure 6) brings the chronologies into exact synchrony. A long tree ring chronology for bristlecone pine has been developed independently of previous work. Several lines of evidence show that the growth rings are true annual rings. Evaluation of several potential sources of error in tree ring dates indicates that any uncertainty in calendar dates assigned to annual rings in this series is due to annual rings that may be absent from all samples for a particular year or years. Internal evidence and intrachronology comparison suggest that there are only two such occurrences in the 5403-year Campito record developed in this work. Annual rings for these years are represented in the Methuselah chronology, which has served as the standard for most radiocarbon calibration studies. ...
The time scale used here is the same "extended scale," where 8000 equals 1 BCE, so 8001-5859 = 2142 BCE and 8001 - 5330 = 2671 BCE. The "M" designates the Master chronology above. Again this thread is about correlations ... and if you actually read it you would have a better idea of the kinds and depth of the evidence that puts your claims to shame. Enjoy

Re: Small clarification for you and Percy
All correlations rest on the same baseless belief. Missing rings cannot be documented past 4500 years. You seek to invoke a belief that because today there are missing rings, that this has to apply to an unknown nature also in the past. Religion.

Re: Small clarification for you and Percy
Today there are missing rings because of rot. Not in the former nature times though. You just believe there must have been for no reason.

Re: And now some questions on past times
Looking at the times given in Gen for Noah in the flood, and looking at Revelation we do see a 360 day year actually.

Your dates for civilizations are all based on the same belief. You thought belief was science?

Yes we see a lot of things in this nature. You see squat in the former nature, but simply believe it was the same. Religion.

Re: And now some questions on past times
No. It would mean that something changed that affected how long a day was. Could a changed distance from earth to sun do it?

Re: Small clarification for you and Percy
All correlations rest on the same baseless belief. Repeating a previously addressed assertion based on your belief alone, is not a refutation of the evidence presented, or the argument against it, rather it is just stubborn denial by someone who cannot accept facts.
Missing rings cannot be documented past 4500 years. ... But that would obviously be your magical belief years and not the real actual scientific years:
creation writes: Message 816 You see, I place the flood at 70,000,000 years ago or so, in science years. In actual real years it was 4500. You just have it backwards. Let me correct that for you:
creation: You see, I place the flood at 70,000,000 real actual years ago or so, in science years. In actual real belief years it was 4500. There, much better, yes?
... You seek to invoke a belief that because today there are missing rings, that this has to apply to an unknown nature also in the past. Talk about invoking a belief ... this is just more of the fantasy that you (and you alone) have created to avoid the cognitive dissonance caused by the real actual evidence of reality. Again, with no evidence of this fantasy concoction having any basis in reality, it can safely be ignored by science. Enjoy
Message 832: No year 5000 years ago is independently producible. As this would be your belief years and not real actual scientific years, it too is a meaningless statement
Message 833: Today there are missing rings because of rot. Not in the former nature times though. You just believe there must have been for no reason. And again, as this is based solely on your personal delusion, it is another meaningless assertion. Enjoy
Message 834 to dwise1: Looking at the times given in Gen for Noah in the flood, and looking at Revelation we do see a 360 day year actually. Based on 12 lunar months of 30 days each. A calendar that needed frequent correction to match the solar year.
quote:
The Hebrew or Jewish calendar (הַלּוּחַ הָעִבְרִי, Ha-Luah ha-Ivri) is a lunisolar calendar used today predominantly for Jewish religious observances. ... The present Hebrew calendar is the product of evolution, including a Babylonian influence. Until the Tannaitic period (approximately 10—220 CE), the calendar employed a new crescent moon, with an additional month normally added every two or three years to correct for the difference between twelve lunar months and the solar year. The year in which it was added was based on observation of natural agriculture-related events in Israel.[1] Through the Amoraic period (200—500 CE) and into the Geonic period, this system was gradually displaced by the mathematical rules used today. The principles and rules were fully codified by Maimonides in the Mishneh Torah in the 12th century. Maimonides' work also replaced counting "years since the destruction of the Temple" with the modern creation-era Anno Mundi.
So again you make a meaningless assertion that doesn't match reality. Enjoy Edited by RAZD, : adding responses to other posts

Re: And now some questions on past times
Not only are the dating of the writings are different, the evidence for the various flood that they relate are of different time frames. In other words, there were different floods, for which there are pieces of actual physical evidence for.
