Since this field gets little traction here, I anticipate very little interest in this challenge.
-
Two billion Christians are committed to a record (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) indicating we are now in the 6,018th year of the cosmos (James Ussher: 6,029th).
-
Two billion other theists (mostly Muslims and Jews) are committed to the same record. Jews make this 5786 AM, recognizing that the Seder Olam Rabbah deliberately skipped about a dozen Persian kings, which I reckon as gaps totalling 232 years. Muslims, generally agreeing, also invented the kalam cosmology that teaches a finite beginning in historic times.
-
For the rest of mankind, all written history testifies the universe and earth are thousands of years old; even the Sumerian King List doesn't exaggerate beyond human lifespans of 43,200 years (Enmenluana), and the legendary Buddhists stop with lifespans of 100,000 years, still within the range of thousands and not billions. 200 creation traditions demonstrate the origin of the universe as designed and humanity as a rapid development, as a universal testimony.
-
All written science for 5,000 years [with the exception of a trend begun by Huxley, Darwin, and Wallace about 200 years ago] assumed a similar timeframe of thousands of years and an orderly creation by an external power.
-
Therefore the only exception to this testimony is a demonstrable cabal of antitheists that have invented and declared a "war" on theism and commandeered control of a scientific establishment that censors all other opinions and is sustained by leeched tax money (Stein, Expelled). These follow a pattern of other previous occasional pockets of people (not "scientists" like this time but always religionists) who claim vast age for the universe but who never could catch on due to their inconsistency and infighting (e.g. gnosticism).
-
This cabal relies on an ever-spinning series of cave shadows that are abandoned when they become useless, but during their lifetimes are upheld as "settled science" (finch beaks, Lamarckianism, Peking Man, steady state, hopeful monsters, panspermia, and nowadays dark matter, dark energy, anthropic principle, math universe hypothesis). They rely on parroting of pictographic narratives rather than on deliberative knowledge, such as the new "tree of life", Haeckel's embryos, Miller's tubes, the "march of progress" apes and men, etc. (Wells, Icons of Evolution).
-
One demonstration of the bankruptcy of this position is NASA's admission that neither of two theories, one dating the universe at 9 billion years rounded, and one dating it at 11-18 billion years, can be taken as settled science. If an official repository of old-earth evidence admits that all old-earth theories are suspect because they disagree and the error has not yet been discerned, then there is no proof of old earth.
Now that we agree on OP that it was thousands and not billions, a new game, sure.
See that proves it's a new game. Galilee.
"Speed" not found. But I'll add the context you could have inferred, "people aren't doing mirror interferometry anymore for lightspeed measurement."
I linked exponential growth so you could see it. Maybe you're blind.
Technically the quantum revolution threw out classical mechanics.
I said the millions of current species don't entail the evolutionist billions of species, and you said this was like the 8 billion humans disproving the 100 billion prior humans. It's false because the humans arise by exponential growth but the species do not and are wholly invented (without fossil evidence) to keep the known species into the billion-year narrative.
Not new DNA barcodes, and not the millions of species today.
Denied in Jesus's name, doomer.
The earth has 37 billion acres.
Which is why WAP is idiotic. In closed systems conditions for life don't continue to exist on the scale we observe, therefore this is an open system with some unknown input.
You didn't link any, and being snapshots they cannot confirm the triggering narrative because they can fit any other narrative.
Lightspeed doesn't affect gravitation, so spiral galaxies do show either youth, or imaginary betenoire matter.
I didn't claim or imply God made the universe look old, I said God told us how old the universe was in Genesis 1 when he made it.
Exactly, not billions, which is why they invented the betenoire.
No, stellar systems don't have neat spiral patterns caused by rotation of many objects at many distances.
The quantum behavior is tied to other factors that vary with lightspeed such as fine structure. So VSL is canceled out in these effects. Pick an effect that you think is dictated, we can look it up, it always works out when I've tried.
It's irrelevant whether the craters predated the flood because they don't prove billions. I'm not arguing about millions or less versus thousands (though I have my beliefs), and you're not either because you're not actually producing prehistoric erosion evidence.
No, the fossil record is not consistent with the number of specimens 5 billion years would produce. You said yourself 100 billion humans total. Now plug in any modest population growth numbers and cataclysm cycles and let me know if you get something legitimate at the millions level. It points to the thousands.
I don't recall any of them indicated millions of years of death. If you mean (5)-(10) lightspeed, observation, radiation, dendrochronology, erosion, theology, none of those had the evidence.
The uniformitarian assumes conditions must be the same because he says so. C measurements show a statistically significant variance even accounting for all error, and this is assumed away. The best fit is rejected in favor of an inference to a worse explanation.
The SI defines the meter and second that are used for measurement. Since they are defined by radiation, they don't vary since the 70s even if lightspeed varies.
No, whether c is dependent on dynamic or radiation measurement does change the meaning of its other uses.
And?
If people had corrected the error range in the old measurements, the ranges would hit the flatline in the linked graphic. They don't.
All known error has been included in the ranges and they still don't hit the line.
And, by your logic, since you know this date, you're a heretic for knowing when Jesus will return by.
Satan is relevant to the fall because he fell before the fall.
I replied that it doesn't follow that "If physical death and sin death are the same (Bible says otherwise), no physical interactions took place between any matter before the first bite of the fruit"; because it's a strawman, and it's an unstated premise in that "I don't see your mechanism for concluding physical interactions couldn't happen without physical death."
The mechanism isn't there. A physical universe without death works just fine, even entropically if it will someday be translated into a new heaven-earth.
Never said that, I said we do measure them. In fact the same variations are present in the measurement of "constants" tied to c.
Anywhere. You say "Same isotopes. Same half-lives. Different amounts of the isotope left." Different amounts can happen if the unknown initial amount was different, if one sample lost or gained material by leaching outside the sample, or if catastrophe or environment changed the nature of the decay. Uniformitarians assume without knowledge that none of this ever happened, and voila billions.
I read it was eroded, and its age was determined by radiation. "The age finding was based on analysis of ancient crystals of the minerals zircon and monazite found in the crater. Scientists used uranium–lead dating to analyze the samples and to determine the age of the impact crater." Maybe you didn't read it for the same reason you can't see a GIF of exponential growth. The erosion was not used to date the crater, and could not have been on erosion assumptions.
I asked for such erosion evidence, haven't seen it, it's as if you're telling a story. What was the name of your rock?
Was very good. By one man death entered the world. Death will be destroyed. "Nature red in tooth and claw" is Darwin's dooming, oh wait you like dooming, I get it.
I know how much fun you have not offering proof, which is why I indulge the game. If you were actually trying to prove something it'd be different. You'd be saying here's a good model of how human populations varied a million years without overpopulating or dying, here's a good example of a crater age measured by erosion, here's a good model of how many species existed for however many years and how species originated, here's a good published theology on physical death before Adam, but you don't. So you're not here to prove anything, you're here to game. Anytime.
We’re done. You’ve admitted your OP is a lie. You get no further responses on this topic.
Thank you for playing. You're losing the new games too.
