Somebody please find FFH a bible code that contradicts young earth creationism.
Okay, fair enough, I should have entitled this thread, "Are Old Earth Theorists Delusional ???"doppelgänger;1056119 said:What is an "evolutionist"?
"Old Earth Theorists?" Do you mean "Geologists"?Okay, fair enough, I should have entitled this thread, "Are Old Earth Theorists Delusional ???"
Sometimes "evolutionist" is code for "anybody who accepts any aspect of modern science that contradicts the writings of Bronze Age religious enthusiasts."What does the speed of light have to do with evolution anyway?
Is Light Slowing Down? (Point - Counterpoint)What does the speed of light have to do with evolution anyway?
They are two different field of studies.
Sorry, FFH, but who said said man's evolution was "millions years" old?ffh said:The evolution of man over millions years, the biggest hoax of the modern age.
Don't people get banned by starting these types of threads?
That was the point of his 'the speed of light is slowing down' bit. It was faster before, which explains how it reached us, but it presents other problems.As to the speed of light. Light requires to travel over great distance, which is in proportional to time, which I am sure you already know. Even if the speed of light decrease, it would not make much difference in calculation over time. My problem is that you believe in Young Earth Science, in which the earth, solar system, galaxy and universe is only 13,000 years old.
Let me give you an example that refute your claim that the universe is only 13000 years old.
Our nearest spiral galaxy, like the Milky Way, is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is roughly 2 million light-year away from our Earth. So it would take 2 million years for light to travel from this galaxy to our planet.
If the universe was truly 13,000 years old, then we should not be able to see Andromeda Galaxy in our best and clearest telescope (the Hubble) for at least another 1,987,000 years from now. The distance between Andromeda and Earth is at 150 times greater than Young Earth's estimate of 13,000 years old.
There are many galaxies that are even further way than Andromeda. The Andromeda Galaxy is roughly twice as our galaxy. The Milky Way is around 100,000 light-year in diameter. Proxima Centauri, the closest star to us is a mere 4.3 light-year away (part of the triple system of Alpha Centauri.
How do you account for such time-distance that light require to travel to reach us?
