You were asked to give the "Princeton Astronomers" name. That isn't you. Now provide the name. Or admit you don't have one.
I hunt for the truth I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping handMy image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore. -Lyrics by Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead

You have no ability to address the criticisms levelled at your ideas, yet you have no grace to back down and accept that you are woefully outmatched here. I am not going to address him directly because I am weary of his attitude. He won't take answers when they are laid right in front of him. He is the one who should 'back down' because he hasn't got a clue about the formation of earths moon or any other moon for that matter and he cannot prove that the formula I posted in the topic is in error. He doesn't even know of the origin of gravitational forces in the first place! But of course, us 'ignorant' Christians are supposed to swallow the nonsense that nature developed things like F = Gm1m2/r^2 and that the balance of nature 'balanced' itself! Anyone who follows that line of thinking is a fool.

I answered the question more than once but it is ignored. Then you aren't understanding what is being asked of you.
I not only explained it myself but I pointed the readers to the experts who developed the formula. What you did was demonstrate why it is a constant in your equation. The question was why is k assumed to be constant? Like I said before, we understand how it works in your equation, but WHY is it assumed to be constant?
Here is yet another:

None of that explained why k is constant. Either you are dodging on purpose, which is dishonest, or you are really just not getting what is being asked of you. If you can't explain why k is constant, outside of your equation, please do not bother responding.

Some evolutionists believe that the creation is the result of a random arrangement of atoms and molecules over billions of years. But when they consider the development of the human brain by random processes within a time span of less than a million years, they have to admit that this span is just not long enough. Or take the evolution of the eye in the animal world. What random process could possibly explain the simultaneous evolution of the eye’s optical system, the conductors of the optical signals from the eye to the brain, and the optical nerve center in the brain itself where the incoming light impulses are converted to an image the conscious mind can comprehend? Our space ventures have been only the smallest of steps in the vast reaches of the universe and have introduced more mysteries than they have solved. Speaking for myself, I can only say that the grandeur of the cosmos serves to confirm my belief in the certainty of a Creator." Can you please give me a clue as to what this has to do with the age of the moon. Just a hint. Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

So this was just a plagiarized story.
My name has nothing to do with the issue of your story. In order to give your story any credence at all the name of this supposed Princeton astronomer is very important. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

So the first two answers don't warrant a response? Because why? No creationist tract that deals with them?
Such answers are so pitifully shallow that it's hardly worth answering. Oh wise one, please give us a "deep" answer. You might want to include some real science. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

More angular momentum means it moves faster around the earth, which in turn makes it have a higher orbit.
I am researching into your question. You seem to be more reasonable than Calypsis4 when it comes to considering the evidence. I'll make the effort to learn the answer to your questions, so I hope you will consider objectively whatever answer I do find. Of course, if anyone does know the answer it will certainly save me a lot of time...

Don't presume to know what I will or will not accept. If and when I see you personally then I will show you as I have done with other skepics, some of whom did accept and others rejected.
Give observable evidence of this. Look in the mirror. Are the atoms of your body holding together? How about everything else around you? Are those atoms holding together? Now, there is an ancient text of scripture that tells us that God holds all things together. He is the most famous human being that ever lived because of His power before the people. By Him all things consist. You are seeing His power whether you recognize it or not.
Give observable evidence of this. I have in my files hundreds of answers to prayer that I have made in the last 40 yrs. I am by no means alone in this experience. Which of those should I post? And if I do so will I not be off topic? We will have to finish this particular area of discussion on another thread.
You have observable evidence of the formation of the moons? No, I have something just as good. But I cannot do it here so don't harp on a point that I cannot reveal on this venue. The Bible is a written account of the history of the world from creation until the time of Christ. If you can't accept that as authoritative then we are at an impass. Nonetheless, since I have seen miraculous power, instantaneous healings, & supernatural occurrences on a number of occasions, and because true science comports with divine revelation, I utterly reject the skeptics position that the blind forces of natures made all things.

Oh wise one, please give us a "deep" answer. For someone who is incapable of 'deep' thinking...or perhaps I should say, 'honest' thinking. Tell the readers how the moons of our solar system developed. Better yet, tell them how the solar system developed from nebulous gases. Then give an illustration from observation.

Hi slevesque - I'm sorry but I have to say this: you are far too smart to be a creationist, and you will not last long
Back to your diagram. The degree of acceleration on the Moon caused by the bulge is directly related to the lag angle (angle between the bulge axis NA and the Earth-Moon axis NM). The earth was spinning faster in the past, which increased the lag angle. Now, do you think that this dynamic process is addressed by DeYoung's approach?

I am not saying that it wasn't different but the explanations for it have been given! Did you even bother to read the extensive articles I provided in previous posts? No you haven't supplied any information that explains WHY k is considered a constant. Lets take a look at your links to see IF ANY explains why (k) is a constant. Starting with your OP Message 1 (no link given) k is simply considered a constant and not explained as to why... Moving forward. From Message 71:
Oni writes: And I'll repeat my original question, as cavediver has requested as well, why the constant (k)...? You have yet to answer this...Just answer where (k) comes from so we can continue from there Calypsis writes: I thought it would be clear by now. Nonetheless, k is a constant = present speed: 0.04 m/year. *Note: Still no reason for k being a constant. In Message 121 you give this link: Creation.com/moon recession From that link:
quote: *Note: Again, k is simply assumed to be a constant, and no reason given as to why. In Message 135 you give this link: AiG From that link:
quote: *Note: Yet again, k is simply assumed to be a constant, and no reason given as to why. Finally, in Message 144, which is the post I'm responding to, you say you give links that explain it. Looking back at all your posts, which I have quoted, you can see that you haven't. Then, being the dishonest bitch that you seem to be, you give up and say:
Calypsis writes: Call Don DeYoung and talk to him. You can get in touch with him through Grace College: Is that your argument? To not explain what you're talking about, not deal with questions directly and then tell us to make a phone call? How fuck'n pathetic can you be? If you have any balls, deal with this question straight and honestly (which you haven't answered yet): From Message 79 which you didn't reply to:
quote: Stop being evasive and deal with your OP. This thread is not about observing moons forming, or any other nonsensical argument that you've spun off into (all off-topic). - Oni

You have shown repeatedly that you ahve no qualms about going off topic when you feel it suits your interests(the funny thing it never suits your interests). But when someone follows up on one of you off-topic posts you claim the issue is off-topic. You are the most disingenuous debater we have had here in a long time.
Something you should learn and slevesque has tried to point out to you, volume of posts don't make you point any better. If anything they hurt you. The strength of your argument is incumbent on the quality of your posts. That you are being criticized by another creationist should tell you something. If it does not you have a huge issue with self-awareness. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

quote: Do you mean answers like "The Lord Jesus Christ, co-Creator with the Father and King of the universe" ?
quote: Nature didn't develop the fancy formula, we did. We needed it to model and explain the processes that go on in nature in a way that the human mind can comprehend. You are doing a very dangerous thing with this sort of angry, anti-science ranting. You are proposing that *YOUR ad-hoc religious opinions should hold greater weight to us than the objective study of the natural processes that go on in our universe. *Need I remind you that many of your precious faith based beliefs are not shared by other large portions of the Christian populace (i.e. different denominations, YEC v OEC, etc) Science has its opposed camps as well, those who support this theory, those who support that. The tremendous difference is that the scientists go where the evidence leads them, and thus those on the losing team eventually bow out (usually not gracefully) and make way for the new ideas about how our universe works. And those new ideas may still be wrong, or incomplete at least. But that's how science works. It's almost always a "best guess" situation. It couldn't be any other way. Unless of course you throw in some supernatural stuff, which is where you guys come in.

Why must it be shown personally? Seems a bit suspicious to me...
Are the atoms of your body holding together? How about everything else around you? Are those atoms holding together?
But you see, science can explain that too. The electromagnetic force keeps an atom together and keeps the atoms together in molecules. See, this answers HOW atoms and molecules stay together. HOW does God keep atoms and molecules together in your "God did it" model?
I have in my files hundreds of answers to prayer that I have made in the last 40 yrs.
How have you documented this? Have you made recordings and have video evidence? Regardless, it doesn't show HOW you can prove God created the moon and put it into orbit.
No, I have something just as good. But I cannot do it here so don't harp on a point that I cannot reveal on this venue.
To quote an aphorism, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The Bible is a written account of the history of the world from creation until the time of Christ. If you can't accept that as authoritative then we are at an impass. Nonetheless, since I have seen miraculous power, instantaneous healings, & supernatural occurrences on a number of occasions, and because true science comports with divine revelation, I utterly reject the skeptics position that the blind forces of natures made all things. Once again I will say that science deals with the HOW, not the WHO or WHY. Science explains HOW things happened, not WHO did it or WHY they did it. All your explanations that say "God did it" only serve to answer the question WHO. I am asking HOW. H-O-W, just in case you are dyslexic and are mistaking who for how. So HOW did God do it and show me observed evidence of it.

I think they do adress the possibility that k is not constant:
In this view, it is therefore ‘necessary to make an empirical adjustment for the tidal acceleration’.54 This is tantamount to saying that the proportionality constant k in equations (1) and (2) is actually variable,55 and must be adjusted to bring lunar chronology in line with that of the earth.56 The extremely speculative nature of such an adjustment was emphasized by Mignard who said, ‘even if we have sound reasons to accept a substantial reduction of the dissipation in the past, we are still lacking evidence of what the Moon’s orbit looked like 3 or 4 billion years ago’.
