Re: Musings On The Thread
1) I don't understand how anyone can conclude that life was uniform pre-flood to what is post flood as per the Biblical record. Surely you are aware that as per the Biblical record, men lived as long as 9+ centuries and that after the flood that life quickly digressed from 6 to 9 hundred years down to 300, then 200 and by the time of Moses, down to under 200 and that larger animals such as mamoths and dinos lived on the earth? If that be the case, then there had to be factors which would affect dating methology.
You need to actually demonstrate that there was a flood, when it was, and what it's extent was before we can talk about the distribution of species before and after.
Then you need to supply evidence as to the lifespans of life during these time periods.
Then you need to show exactly how these factors can influence the nuclear decay of atoms.
3) Science could only speculate on the properties of a pre-Biblical flood atmosphere and chemical makeup of earth's surface, etc, since the data would not be uniform to the the view which science has studied.
Science knows the atmospheric content for the last 450,000 years. It is preserved in ice cores from multiple spots around the globe. Even further back inferences can be made from the types of minerals that formed on the surface. For example, the evidence for the absence of oxygen in an early earth is iron pyrite that formed at the surface. Oxygen prevents this mineral from forming. The appearance of oxygen in the atmosphere is evidenced by iron banding in Pre-cambrian strata. This evidences iron precipitation due to oxygenation.
