Of course the existence of morality is trivially evidence that morality somehow came to be part of us (and some other animals). But the existence of morality is not evidence for any particular means by which morality came to be.

No. That's been tested.

Correct or not, he is not a top scientist, and he is only one person. "Top scientists" plural is what Percy objected to. But of course you don't address the real issues.

That's not scientific information, it's exceptionally silly fantasy. Pathetic even by the exceptionally low standards of YECs. If you think you have something to offer, state your sources and briefly describe the measurements, experiments, and analyses that led to your conclusions.

Back in the day we used readings from the Urantia Book as part of my fraternity's initiation rites. Sonorous, impressive, and total gibberish.

The distance to SN1987A was measured by trigonometry, not parallax.

That's an unwarranted slur against teachers. I doubt the best teacher in the world could teach him anything. He knows it all already. Tres Trumpian.

Bzzzzzt! Wrong. Thanks for playing, and here's a copy of the home game for you.

The distance to SN1987A was not measured by parallax. As I noted. The baseline was the distance from the supernova to the surrounding ring of debris. Feel free to Google up some of the clear explanations.

The distance to SN1987A was not measured by parallax. Do try to keep up.

SN1987A And many, many, many more.
Ah, the invincible ignorance of the fundy. Knowing absolutely nothing about the subject you pontificate as if you were the expert. You aren't.

Learn to read. The paragraph following the one you quoted makes it clear that the paragraph you quoted refers to methods other than the one they used on SN1987A.

It doesn't matter if time differs on the radius line. Read the last link I gave.
And we have strong evidence that time is the same on the radius line, because several radioactive elements decayed at the same rate as they do on Earth.. http://www.esa.int/...y_of_titanium_powers_supernova_remnant

The decay happens there.
The decay is seen here. You are also forgetting the other non-parallax measurment of distance.

Lovely example of circular reasoning.
