I'm thinking this should slide on into "Is this science?"
I've recently, and repeatedly, had a few of my ideas flat out ridiculed by people who called them "ridiculous" and "idiotic". Perhaps these ideas aren't "scientific" but I personally feel that they stand up perfectly well by certain standards of YEC science.
I'd like to present a few of them here to see if anyone can disprove them. Also, if you have any ideas, I'll try to knock those down if you like.
1) Downward Pusher - Gravity is not a law. What we "believe" is gravity "attracting two objects with mass" is simply the downward force exherted upon us by the Intelligent Pusher. It is through his devine providence that we don't go spinning out into space.
2) Upside Down Evaporation - Many of the features of the Great Flood don't stand up against modern geology, however, this is because geologists are assuming that the waters of the Flood behave like water we see today on Earth. My assertion is that these waters actually evaporated from the bottom up - thus salt deposits could form underneith other layers, erosion could happen backwards, etc.
3) Random Species POP-ulation. New species randomly POP into existance. (usually with the audible sound). This accounts for why so many species that exist today don't exist in the past. It also allows for different species without macro-evolution.
Anyone wanna take a stab at these.
By the way, I know some of you think I'm being silly here, but I honestly KNOW these to be true, so good luck proving me wrong.
Also, I read these in a book.
1) If this were true than the divine presence would have to be a mathematical geenious or aumniciant. I personally believe that God created the world and then let it run. However, I do also believe that God can violate physical laws at any time he wishes.
2) The laws of physics don't change. They remained the same since they were created. It is possible though that maybe through more fundamental mechanisms the constants changed.
3) Cross-Breeding and Natural Selection, but NOT evolution.
