All the sources I am reading, since as usual you provided none, seem to indicate that there is not " a bit of a mystery how they moved all those now heavy blocks." There is a wonderful field of archeology called experimental archeology, this is the one I was always most interested in. There have in fact been a number of groups that have moved stones to simulate everything from the ester island statues to the construction of Stonehenge and also the Egyptian blocks you seem to think were mysteriously moved into place when gravity was weaker.
The ideas is plainly idiotic, if the earths gravity were reduced to a noticeable degree, the escape velocity would be reduced, resulting in our atmosphere escaping, leaving us airless and devoid of life. But I think its pretty clear from your wording

From a biblical perspective, I see no reason to assume gravity existed as we now know it.
which means that evidence contrary to your literalism exists, you simply ignore it and refute it through bold assertions. Where the hell is the mystery?

Give us your creation science estimate of the earths gravity in the time of the Egyptian pyramid construction. No beating around the bush, just give us the numbers, I won't even suggest you provide evidence to support it. Just give us the degree of alteration to gravity.

Re: My Take
What a phenomenal waste of all our time. You simply need to just fuck off with these ridiculous conjectures. You don't really believe all this shit, you are making it up to see how long you can string us on in this game of 'waste everyones time'. You won't be nailed down to numbers because you know we will tear your idiotic ideas apart the INSTANT you commit to even a single one. I for one am done with your antics.

Re: What is the evidence for the long term presence of gravity?
If we are to assume that gravity has altered significantly in the past 4400 years, does that fit into the currently observed solar system. Are we to assume that the gravitational flux(for lack of any terminology here) is stable now? or is it still changing? Well if it was still increasing, we would be able to measure this today, just like the idea of a fluctuating speed of light. To date, nothing supports either of these ideas.
How significantly would altering gravity affect things like the diameter of our sun for example? Did the properties of the sun change in any notable way throughout the 'history' recounted in the bible? Why would the genesis account tell of the creation of the sun if it wasn't going to make an appearance till after the time of Noah?

Re: why is this daftness allowed to go on?
Why would the bible reference flowing rivers, Genesis 2:10, if there was no gravity? Seems to fit the idea of normal gravity. Along with plants growing in the gardens, and Adam and Eve not collapsing from bone degeneration during their 900 years.

Re: Is There a Dope Smoking Forum?
We are using the Michael Behe definition of science, where astrology and witchcraft meet particle physics and Quantum Electrodynamics.
