With respect to both camps (Evos and Creos) and their postulates, I ask a relativistic question as I’m now re-thinking my oversimplified creationist label/identity. Many of you Evos have doubtlessly re-defined your limits of evolution as well, especially pre-Big-Bang/Big crunch.
1) I’ve somewhat concluded much of the cosmic data supports YEC in DIURNAL CLOCK terms, that is ‘evening-morning’-solar-like clocks. (e.g. some comet data, magnetic field data, lunar data, sedimentary data, etc.)
2) But that OEC does seem to apply to ATOMIC CLOCKS, starry light years, and such. That is, I believe radiometric dating is probably fairly valid in terms of atomic time, as it is used (albeit in atomic time only).
3) I’ve partially reconciled uncalibrated YEC-clocks vs. OEC-clocks (to my own conscience) using relativistic theories and supernatural (metaphysical) postulates posted elsewhere on this forum (i.e., Setterfield’s decreasing c, special relativity, God’s having created the ‘mature’-chicken-with-the-egg, etc).
4) I strongly believe in the stellar, geological, and biological ToEs as they apply to:
-- the last few millennia of diurnal time and
-- billions of years of atomic time.
To simplify, I strongly believe our 2 clock systems (#1 and #2 above) are grossly uncalibrated, one group against the other, and are misused by scientists and philosophers alike.
In many ways am I a Theistic-Evo, a YEC, and also an OEC? (Pardon my drifting in my old age)
So what is appropriately my identity and what is yours? Henceforth, I don’t feel I can honestly call myself just an Evo, just a YEC, or just an OEC, etc.
(Perhaps the question boils down to theistic vs. atheistic ... just a thought)
