Christianity and the 10 Commandments

To refute your objections....

Ok finen the sun is shrinking at a rate that if you go back to 14 billion years ago the sun would almost be touching where the earth is.

Claim CE310:

The sun is shrinking at such a rate that it would disappear completely in 100,000 years. This would make it impossibly large and hot in the distant past if the sun is millions of years old.
Source:

Morris, Henry M. 1985. Scientific Creationism. Green Forest, AR: Master Books, p. 169.
Response:

This assumes that the rate of shrinkage is constant. That assumption is baseless. (In fact, it is the uniformitarian assumption that creationists themselves sometimes complain about.) Other stars expand and contract cyclically. Our own sun might do the same on a small scale.

There is not even any good evidence of shrinkage. The claim is based on a single report from 1980. Other measurements, from 1980 and later, do not show any significant shrinkage. It is likely that the original report showing shrinkage contained systematic errors due to different measuring techniquies over the decades.

For carbon 14 in the atmosphere being produced and decaying it would eventually reach a state of equalibrium. Scientists estemated this to be at about 50000 years, but we're not there yet. The amount of carbon 14 is increasing. It has not had enough time to reach equalibrium.

This one is a bit longer so I'll just post the link.

The earth is slightly slowing its rotation. If you were to go back a couple billion years the earth would have the rotation of Jupiter. This would be devastating to earths atmosphere.

The earth's rotation is slowing at a rate of about 0.005 seconds per year per year. This extrapolates to the earth having a fourteen-hour day 4.6 billion years ago, which is entirely possible. 
The rate at which the earth is slowing today is higher than average because the present rate of spin is in resonance with the back-and-forth movement of the oceans. 
Fossil rugose corals preserve daily and yearly growth patterns and show that the day was about 22 hours long 370 million years ago, in rough agreement with the 22.7 hours predicted from a constant rate of slowing (Scrutton 1964; Wells 1963).

There, all of your objections refuted.

Next please.

I was saying they don't support BBT

A Bacon, Basil and Tomato sandwich? That has relativity written all over it, baby.

No you fool!!!

Bacon,bacon and tomato sandwich(preferably with added bacon)

I was not saying those theories of relativity aren't true. I was saying they don't support BBT

Did you know that one result of Einsteins work on general relavity was that the universe must be expanding?

Einstein at first refused to believe that this was the case and introduced what he called "the cosmological constant" in order to cancel out the expansion.

It wasn't until red shift was observed in distant galaxies by Erwin Hubble that Einstein realised that his initial calculations had been right all along.

He was later to call it the biggest blunder of his life.

Oh, by the way. BBT predicted not only the CMB but calculated its temperature, which turned out to almost spot on
