Re: Not well-founded

There is not yet a gag on posting, only about talking about the ace up my sleeve, namely, your inability to do anything but assume a same past state.
You may discuss almost anything you like at EvC Forum, but threads usually do have well defined topics that they focus on, and we request that members focus their discussion on a thread's topic.
There's another issue at work in the case of the type of argument you're advancing, and that's that it can be used in almost any thread. Why does the earth have the appearance of great age? Things were different in the past. Why are most stars further away than 6000 light years? Things were different in the past. How could limestone layers have formed quickly? Things were different in the past. Why does the fossil record appear to indicate that evolution has happened? Things were different in the past.
And so members who have a preference for a single answer to many questions are requested to take discussion of that answer to a thread dedicated to it. You may propose a thread to discuss the possibility of different natural laws in the past at [forum=-25].
