PROOF OF GOD

I find it passing strange that the evidence for the height of the Great Pryamid, its supposed special location and its supposed other unique features are so equivocal.If we are finally convinced that the pyramid is Willowtree's special height and other claims, what does that prove? Anything more than that a couple of statements in the Book of Isaiah are accurate? Did god actually tell Isaiah these "facts"? Does this then prove the existence of a supernatural entity which Isaiah called Lord? Why would the proof of the claim about the Great Pyramid represent "the greatest proof of God's existence"?

Willow, try and address the many questions which you are yet to respond to and the evidences which contradict your assertions rather than trying to get suspended as an easy out.

WillowTree can now do as he likes in this thread.

Hasn't he been doing exactly that from the beginning?

He seems to think you think he's claiming that the pyramid is 5449 inches tall today. My understanding of what he's saying is that it was 5449 inches when completed without the capstone, and that erosion and settling have reduced the height.

But the height of the pyramid is somehow proof of the existence of god. If the height is now no longer 5449 inches tehn does that mean that there is now no longer a god? Do it also follow that the bible is no longer accurate in this respect and therefore nead not be taken as factually correct in any of its other statements?It all seems a very flimsy rationale for believing in the existence of a supernatural being.

Percy, I agree entirely with your comments. However I find it strange that wt is not able to step back and gain some perspective for his whole argument. If someone claimed that some various measurements and orientations of an Inca pyramid were evidence for the existence of an Incan diety or a proof of the theory of evolution then wt would shift heaven and earth to find measurable, verifiable data to contradict such claims.Orwellian doublethink?

WT has suggested restricting those who post to this thread while we try to keep it on track.
He didn't have your name on the list DarkStar. WT may invite you if he wishes but until then don't post here.

You're kidding aren't you? WT decides who will participate in a thread, especially one in the Free For All Forum?If you seriously intend to enforce this then you should open such a decision to discussion in the Suggestions and Questions forum.

Since the accuracy of Rutherford's figures is obviously made up

​

Thus asserts Percy. In other words, there is no evidence. I already said that this is the exact position of our detractors through-out the centuries. This one-line dismissal says Rutherford and company are liars without one shred of evidence except what you say. This dismissal is embarrassing and speaks volumes about the evidence.

It is obvious that wt has no idea about error analysis. Even knowing the value of Pi to 10,000 decimal places does not help if we cannot make a measurement to 5 significant figures. Do you really think that measurements have been made of the pyramid to the nearest ten-thousandth of an inch?

And is Antarctica exclude from the map and calculations of land area/mass?

willowtree descends into paranoia again and eschews providing evidence supporting his assertions. Posters have failed to educate willow in the mathematics of significant figures and error analysis. Posters have failed to educate willow in differentiating between evidence and assertion.what exactly do others hpoe to achieve out of this protracted, repetitive thread?
