Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
If I answer will you say it is an assertion?

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
No. When you believe nature on earth was the same in the past you use a preset belief. When you assume time in the far universe is the same as here, you use a belief. Be honest.

It's a default. When we observe that horses in the present have four legs, we can reasonably conclude (not "assume" or "believe") that Napoleon's horse had four legs. If you claim that Marengo was a spider-horse, the onus is on you to provide evidence.

I see. A default belief. OK. Do you claim beliefs default or otherwise are science?

Your evidence is that you have no evidence then. OK.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
Funny thing is that if creation started the ball rolling, we would have seen a certain percentage of ratios from the getgo. I guess that is a matter of belief, not knowing. Then, if some processes in a different nature also worked on that original ratio that would have affected it also. Then, we know our nature affected things also. Your belief is that only our nature and nothing else is the cause of all ratios we see. I hope you can see why some people view that as belief based and not really science.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
Well, OK then you want us to state a belief. My belief is that the dates science uses are belief based and must be rejected out of hand and whole of cloth for all dates involving billions or millions or hundreds of thousands of years. I would side with the belief that all the universe and the world is only several thousand years old.

Why do you think that the earth and the universe it sits in then looks like it's many billions of years old? There are multiple different ways that we can show you that it's a lot older than 7,000 years; they are all different, relying on different mechanisms but all agree.
There is no reasonable argument that can be used to dismiss all those observations. So if you are right and all those different sciences are wrong, the only explanation is that your god has made it appear very old even though it's very young. Why would he do that?

No. A default conclusion. Wherever there's a question there's a default answer. If I ask, "Do you want some ice cream?" the default answer is, "No." If you don't say so, you're not getting any.

It has nothing to do with what I claim. You could find out what science is by just looking it up.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
Your evidence is that you have no evidence then.
That's right, bunkie. Puts your little mind into a tail spin doesn't it.
In science, what isn't there can be just as significant as what is.
Don't think too hard on that. Wouldn't want you to strain something.
You still have no evidence to suggest nature changed in any way at any time.
Your only reason for insisting it did, other than to make yourself look silly, is because it fits your evil religious narrative.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
So you again admit that your evidence is that you have absolutely no evidence. Interesting religion.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
When a question is asked about the unknown the real default is 'I don't know'. You can call your beliefs a conclusion all you like. The conclusion based on beliefs is not knowledge, fact or real science.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
Why? Easy. I think that the so called sates are bogus. The reasons for the dates and the basis for them is totally belief based.

Re: Your problem: no correlations should exist
Yeah, I didn't think you would comprehend my answer.
Fortunately my lack of evidence for a change in nature outweighs your lack of evidence that it did change.
The only conclusion possible is that nature did not change.
Have fun thinking that one through.
