Re: Constant constants
?? If the forces and laws the govern atoms changed, praytell, how would some halo in a rock be exempt from changing also?
You really have no clue regarding how things work. You change the radioactive process you change the energy involved and you change the constants that hold atoms and molecules together. You make it easier for alpha decay to happen faster, then it starts happening in other elements that have no evidence of radioactivity, either now or in the past. And then you need a way to speed up beta decay so that the pattern of decay chains occurs. Meanwhile molecules don't form or they fall apart.
You end up with a mess. Now to manage this so that it miraculously appears as the product of old age and current nature, you are going to have many more mechanisms to govern and tune each process to perfectly mimic current nature.
What it comes down to, is the fantasy of things being different in some past time means that the making of all things in past so that it perfectly replicates exactly evidence for actual old age while being much younger, means that your god is a joker and a liar.

Re: Correlation validation by Egyptian Chronology
Many people place the flood somewhere around 4500 years ago. Noah observed no trees, so he stayed in the ark. Then a week later birds returned with evidence of a fresh tree. So he knew he could give the order to vacate the ark.
Noah observed men living a lot less years, because he lived centuries after the flood. If your dates are correct, he was alive when the furniture was made.
We would not see any change in nature, because the nature we see is not what changed!

This is getting to the point of ridiculous repetition. Please present something to support your fantasy, otherwise there is no point in your argument worth considering. This is a scientific forum, so you need to provide evidence not religious belief.

A leaf is not a full grown tree. That is not evidence of fast growth of trees.
Can you provide objective empirical evidence of the landing site of the ark? This is a scientific forum, so you need to provide evidence not religious belief.
Noah observed men living a lot less years, because he lived centuries after the flood. If your dates are correct, he was alive when the furniture was made.
What is your evidence for this claim? This is a scientific forum, so you need to provide evidence not religious belief.
We would not see any change in nature, because the nature we see is not what changed!
And presto-chango magic did it, courtesy of your local god/s ... you just can't see it because it's magic ...
Please stop with the garbage regurgitation, and start posting some substance to back your claims.
Religious magic-god-did-it babble is not any kind of scientific argument and certainly does not explain any of the correlations.
Your fantasy imaginary change in nature is less credible than the wizard of oz.
The amusing thing about your posts on this thread is that you are adding to the massive evidence that creationists are incapable of explaining the correlations. Here we are at 934 posts on this version of this thread, add:
(this is Version 2 number 1, with new and updated information that has been uncovered by science since version 1)
... and you have 1,894 posts ... and not one explanation of a single correlation by a creationist, not one creationist has been able to explain the objective empirical evidence of several different age measuring systems have high degrees of correlations for the ages involved. Many have tried, all have failed. Like you they rarely get past the tree ring correlations.
So you're in great company, making creationism look incapable of dealing with this reality.
Enjoy

We haven't even seen the half of it here. This guy has been polluting discussion forums for years now and, in case you haven't seen it, things only get more bizarre as time goes on. Not really worth responding to.

PRATT CA221: Were you there?

Yep, give a creationist an argument he thinks is stellar and not being able to recognize the faults, and they'll run with it ad nauseum.
His argument about past nature is just a regurgitation of PRATT CA221 applied to everything ...
quote:
Claim CA221:
(In response to any claim about the history of life) Were you there?
Source:
Ham, Ken. 1989. Were you there? Back To Genesis 10a (Oct.), The Institute for Creation Research
Response:
  1. Yes, because "there" is here. Events in the past leave traces that last into the present, and we can and do look at that evidence today.
  2. If this response were a valid challenge to evolution, it would equally invalidate creationism and Christianity, since they are based on events that nobody alive today has witnessed.
  3. A more useful and more general question is, "How do you know?" If the person making a claim can not answer that question, you may consider the claim baseless (tentatively, as someone else may be able to answer). If the answer is subjective -- for example, if it rests on the person's religious convictions -- you know that the claim does not necessarily apply to anyone but that person. If you can not understand the answer, you probably have some studying to do. If you get a good answer, you know to take the claim seriously.

Traces in the present, like the measurable actual existing levels of C14 in tree rings and artifacts.
We have asked creation to show how he knows that the past was different and when that difference occurred, and there has been no answer to that question, his claim IS baseless.

Re: Correlation validation by Egyptian Chronology
This is getting to the point of ridiculous repetition. Please present something to support your fantasy of a same state past, otherwise there is no point in your argument worth considering. This is a scientific forum, so you need to provide evidence not religious belief. Really.
What the bible says about Noah, is a record of His life. It goes to evidence of what things were like in those days. Science doesn't know. In any discussion of creation, one must look not only at what science does not know, and cannot deal with, but also at what evidences mankind does have. As much as origin fable false science folks want to wave everything away to defend their empty religion, a science forum cannot just be about such willful religious ignorance.
Your correlations are all belief based. As I said all dating always has to get down to radioactive decay dates. Your king lists and tree rings simply have no meaning for the far past unless nature was the same. You have shown you do not know or care and that you will blunder on, using your beliefs to model the past regardless.
You wave off any possible change in nature because it does not fit with your naturedunnit dogma. That is not honest and open minded, that is actually insanity. All history and bible records must be waved away in your religion. No creator can be considered. 'There could never have been any change because...there is no God'. That is not science.
All your correlations are explained easily as religious drivel. All are based on only one belief. No science, just belief. The jig is up.

Quit trolling.
There's a mountain of confirmed, fact-based evidence supporting the age of things. If you have evidence to support your personal assertion that time was somehow different a few thousand years ago, present it.
Otherwise shut the fuck up.

Really? You are the one who needs to provide evidence. Please do so. Forum Guidelines
Religious texts do not qualify as evidence. There is no evidence that science is a religion. Please conform to the Forum Guidelines.
Edited by AdminPhat, : No reason given.

  • Please stay on topic for a thread. Open a new thread for new topics.
  • Points should be supported with evidence and reasoned argumentation.
  • The sincerely held beliefs of other members deserve your respect. Please keep discussion civil. Argue the position, not the person.

    Should be in a quote box so readers know where it came from.
    This is kindergarten style argument, not one supporting your assertions.
    What the bible says about Noah, is a record of His life. It goes to evidence of what things were like in those days. Science doesn't know.

    All your correlations are explained easily as religious drivel. All are based on only one belief. No science, just belief. The jig is up.
    Fixed it for you. Took out all the religious nonsense and your repeated assertions that have no evidential basis.
    This shows how empty your argument is. You have made 98 posts on this thread and have not presented a single piece of supporting evidence either for your fantasy assertion of a "former nature" being different from the present, nor for you claim that science is based on beliefs rather than objective empirical evidence, known facts and logical conclusion made, theories that are tested -- not because they are beliefs, but because they are tentative conclusions and possibly wrong, they are tested to remove wrong conclusions. It's called the scientific process. You should try it some time.
    At best you've only accomplished the first step, and that hardly qualifies as sufficient for a science thread argument.
    Again, this is a science thread, and that means you need to present evidence to support your argument rather than just repeated it ad nauseum.
    And I see you have been warned.
    Enjoy

    Re: Correlation validation by Egyptian Chronology
    I am one asking for evidence. Unless it is forthcoming we will have to admit that there is no proof for the basis of modeling the past used by science.
    I do not know about the nature in the past, so I have no burden of proof either way. Those who claim it was the same do have a heavy burden of proof.
    I have pointed out that it is only a belief, and not known. Since I have my own beliefs, why would I exchange those for beliefs in some same nature in the past that contradicts the record of antiquity we have of that time in Scripture?
    You must show any claimed nature in the past to be true and totally bear the burden of proof. To try and avoid the issue by lamely insisting that anyone questioning your belief bears responsibility to prove they are wrong is dishonest and weak.
    The part of science that is belief based is the parts involving origin claims. So don't try to hide behind science as a whole.

    The Flood was an impossible event, not a "change in nature".

    Name "changes in nature" that happened in the Bible before the flood and after. Then give evidence that they happened in reality.
