Re: Confusing
You say none of the billions can demonstrate they are not delusional. Proof?

Tanypteryxreplies: And yet not a single one of those billions can demonstrate that it is not a delusion. creation writes: You say none of the billions can demonstrate they are not delusional. Proof? I was saying that not one of them can show that their religious beliefs are anything other than their imagination, just as you have been unable to show a shred of evidence that the stuff you are spouting is reality. We all know that because if any evidence was discovered they would have showed it to everyone. So far nothing.

I didn't say they weren't. I said that Biblical kinds are NOT the immutable creationist kinds.

Re: Confusing
We are supposed to know what kinds you are talking about? Mankind for example was here from the start. No way to deny that is what the bible teaches. I would like to get on topic here also. Too bad that falsifying a young universe by SN1987a was a concept/claim that is already defeated here. Dead. Wave the white flag and close the thread. Speaking of dead has anyone heard from the thread originator here?? Is he OK? Edited by creation, : No reason given. Edited by creation, : No reason given.

All you have done is claim, with no basis whatsoever, that we can't see that far. You have failed miserably, as creationism always does.

Not that we dont enjoy discussions with creationists such as "creation" here.  When we ridicule each others arguments, our intention is not to ridicule the poster.

I would hope that creation sees us as humans and not troll fodder. We certainly respect his presence, if not his arguments.

Trolls and Truthseekers Unite!
well it is true that he is trolling us a bit...he just likes to make himself feel better by attacking our views...but I noticed that he did ask about the topic originator...which shows some empathy on his part...more than what any garden variety troll would show. One wonders if either side in these discussions ever reads what the other side reads. I know that you do, ringo. You know the Bible better than many.

Re: Confusing
His presence is not separable from his posts - I won't call them arguments, they're pure ignorant, trolling drivel. I can't respect anyone who behaves as disingenuously and stupidly as this. Note that he showed empathy in post 891. Perhaps he has a smidgeon of Spirit in him apart from the boredom that spurs him to argue pointlessly with us. Besides...respect him simply for being human and choosing to come here. If you simply club all of the trolls out of existence, you end up with no converts.

Reminding Everyone Of The Original Topic
The young Universe position is logically on a weaker footing than an old Universe stance. The YEC arguments base themselves as providing an alternative explanation for old Universe evidence. They do not provide any 'facts' that categorically prove a young Universe, just supposed new interpretations that allow for a young Universe. This being said, you only have to provide a single example of an old Universe that cannot be argued with and, ergo, you have falsified the young Universe position. As I see it, there can be no way around the older Universe interpretation of the distance to supernova 1987A. And I am talking about the GEOMETRICAL method of calculating the distance. This doesn't involve anything like standard candles, or relativistic redshifts but on good old trigonometry. (I do hope the YEC's accept trig.) No way of varying the speed of light (one of the lamest concepts in YECdom) will at the same time explain this supernova being nearby and yet not changing the observed radioactive decay rates of the nickel and cobalt from the explosion. This, and I stress, GEOMETRICAL distance gives a value of approx. 170,000 light years. No if's and's or but's about it. Therfore, this supernova occurred 170,000 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And again, let me repeat, no tinkering with the light speed can get around this method of getting the distance whilst preserving the radioactive decay observations. Thus we have a piece of evidence that directly FALSIFIES a less than 10,000 year old Universe. Now I accept that this on it's own doesn't give a 13.7 billion year old Universe, BUT it does the job with respect to falsifying creation being some 6-10 thousand years ago. Comments?
