My argument is based on the speed of light (c). If we can prove that a star is x distance away from us, then the light takes: x/c = time. This gives us the time which has been found to be millions of years. If we can see these stars, then surely millions and billions of years have passed for us to see them?

If everything else agrees with the Bible (and it does) then the stars were stretched out as the Bible says: He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 412415 United States 04/11/2008 09:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In 1517 A.D. there began a Reformation of the Roman Catholic Church that ruled the empire with a tyrannical iron fist. This would turn into what is Protestantism. The Church's response to this upset of escaping free thinking Bible believers who no longer needed the Church was to launch the counter-reformation. Many methods have been employed to end the Protestant civilization bringing these territories back under the control of Rome. The Holy Bible, believed to be the Word of God, being the basis for Protestantism (Bible believing Christianity) comes under attack repeatedly through history, having been banned,outlawed, and attemps at discrediting. The Roman Catholic Jesuit Priest use their pagan pseudoscience teaching of uniformitarian evolution to explain the universe and how life came about for the purpose of discrediting the Word of God in hopes of reviving the papal states under the Pope after the people have lost interest in the Bible, which does not support any such heirarchy papal rule. And 500 years on, it is working. God's unlikely Latin lovers Yasmin Haskell | September 27, 2006 ONE of the most delicious paradoxes in the history of education is the fact that the Society of Jesus, a Catholic Reformation order founded by Ignatius of Loyola in the 16th century, was the greatest single publicity machine for the literature of pagan antiquity from the late Renaissance until the French Revolution. The ethos of the Society of Jesus was an apostolic one: its members were called less to contemplate than to preach, to harvest souls, to exert influence in the world. The order attracted active types - missionaries, musicians, mathematicians, artists, architects, scientists and poets -- and all Jesuits were required to do a stint of teaching in the society's free humanist schools. The Jesuits are rightly acclaimed as the educators of early modern Catholic Europe. Among their brilliant alumni were Rene Descartes and Voltaire. While their curriculum and pedagogical methods were based on Renaissance models, the Society of Jesus translated traditional elements into a spectacularly successful formula of their own, forging an international educational empire that stretched from Rome to Russia, Mexico to Macau.

And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Go to the Hebrew and find out the more sure meaning but only for those who want to know and can have the fortitude to be open to better understanding from above.

Light takes millions of years to reach us from most stars. If the universe is 7000 years old, How can we see the stars? It's all about the assumptions: 1) That carbon-14 is constant in the atmosphere - shown not to be the case - huge variances 2) That being entombned in rock does not affect breakdown 3) That the speed of light is a constant - when scientists have shown that it can speed up or slow down, depending on what it passes through. |

Because he loves you. Remember, GOD needs MONEY. However if you object to the speed of light (c), then I suggest you cash out of our society, and bang some rocks together on some tech denying commune. Clearly your rejection of medicine and technology doesn't stop a hypocrite like yourself from using them. I'm laughing at your "morality" while you use the tools of "Satan".

Quoting: ClavainWhatever it takes to prove there is no God. If one is blind, then they cannot see. Words do not create light for the blind, only the Spirit can do that. If one is adamantly against the truth, no amount of light will illuminate them. In an absolute, there is no way one can prove the age of the earth, one way or another. I can't prove it is 6983 years old, but I can't prove without an absolute doubt, that the earth is 20 billion years old either. It is what somebody takes faith in. It is simply a choice of the mind. When you die, you will go where you choose to follow. So what you're saying is: Nothing can be absolutely proven. According to some of the oldest writings known to men, there were people who thought just as you pretend to. The earth split open, water gushed out and all of them were killed horribly. There's a lesson there for you personally. If this is meant to scare me, I can assure you it didn't work. I believe the flood happened, but not on such a grand scale, plus the Ark is nonsense (unless they kept DNA somehow with lost ancient knowledge). I believe it happened and I believe it killed a lot of people. But innocent people died too, believers died too. When was the last time you heard of unexplainable things happening to 'bad' people? Probably this flood was the last time. In my experience, it seems the 'bad' people dont get any worse treatment throughout their life than the devote belivers who do everything 'right' I want to do what is best for the Species of Humans that are my family. I want to be a moral person who cares for others, but I don't need a reward like eternal life to be good. I think it is the end when my brain dies. But I am not sad, I am happy becasue I saw this life and was conscious of myself. I was and I am. I doubt you'll feel the same way when you're about to die. The one thing they don't tell you and the one thing always forgotten is that regardless of whether or not you'll be back... death is the most awful thing one can ever experience. You say my comments do not scare you. That's fine. Similar comments did not scare people in Noah's time, but you can rest assured that when they heard the Earth's crust ripping, when it all wouldn't stop, and when they saw the sky end -- in a matter of moments -- they experienced the kind of fear not often repeated. It's a kind of fear so potent -- it is risidual. It survives without the memory of death because death itself is not retained in the ethereal engram. If I were you I would pray that my aloof and irreverent denials, my determined and deliberate opposition, my wicked suppression of truth -- does not result in a very sudden and very present reminder of a past trauma, because there aren't many effective ways to describe what I mean. Please do not tell me how I will feel before I die. I think I would be inhuman if I did not feel human emotions. Yes I feel fear of dying, but no fear of Hell, or excitement of Heaven. I accept that it is the end when I die, for all things. If you can call me all those things, Wicked, aloof and opposed then what are you? Yes I am standing by my beliefs, I am looking at the facts laid out before me and I am choosing the most acceptable to me. I am trying to explain how my thinking works to you all. And I think I am right. I'm telling you how you will feel when you die because it is the way others who have spoken like you felt before they were ended. You have a callous and ugly policy which amounts to nothimg more than rejection of truth. This why your death will be as horrible as can be arranged. |
