Christianity and the 10 Commandments

Ideology is personal beliefs, so he admits that many of the theories they come up with is a mixture of evidence and personal beliefs.

And when your rather "interesting" theory that involves major portions of the universe zooming around at multiples of the speed of light has some evidence to support it we'll talk again.
Until then, still waiting to see evidence that the universe is young.

You'll be waiting for evidence that the universe is young until you aren't.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

True, but it is quite funny watching him flap around like a one winged seagull spewing up all this inane rubbish and then getting all precious because we won't accept it just on his say so.Tongue

No that's not the the theory. The theory is that our galaxy is the center of the universe. There is a 4th dimension of space (not Including time as that is not space). This space is curving inward toward the center, creating a time distortion that makes billions of years of interactions happen in hours or days closer to the edge. Many of these processes are complimentary to Einstein's theory of relativity.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

-4th verse of the american national anthem

As I said before fuckhead, it isn't a theory it's a hypothesis. It is your job to tell us how it can be falsified and then you must perform that test. If successful then you would have to show what predictions it makes. Then you would have to test those predictions and even then it wouldn't be a theory.

On another note you might wonder why I am hostile to you and show no respect. I'll tell you, you respect nobody and you show that lack by ignoring what people say, you ignore science when people show it to you and most importantly when you are shown evidence that contradicts your beliefs, instead of admitting you were wrong (or even admitting your belief is faith based not scientific, reasonable or logical), you ignore what was said. I for one will never respect you if you continue your bullshit.

BTW, space has been shown to be flat to an accuracy of .001%. It is actually pretty intuitive. Think about it, even a balloon's surface (definitely a curved surface) approaches flatness to a greater degree the larger it gets.

It's a fundamental disconnect Phil, he has no other option than to continue to regurgitate his bullshit talking points. He has absolutely no idea what he's talking about beyond the script, as evidenced by his many predictable responses to the same tired old objections to the same played out arguments that have been peddled for decades under different names. It's breached the threshold of mental disease in this one. Chip prefers his fantasies (including his fantasies about science) to reality, I can't see anything radically altering his preferences anytime soon. The trash he advocates for here is trash he wears as a badge of honor.

Unless he starts showing respect to others, he better get used to me being hostile and disrespectful to him. And if it bothers him enough, he will show others respect. Maybe someone should remind him of the golden rule.

There's likely a social reward to this gibberish in the circles he travels in Phil, circles full of Golden Rule people, lol. Ignore me, I'm just expressing my frustration in yet another fundy with huge claims, no evidence, bad science, and cheaply bought "knowledge".

Then I would suggest he learn to accept my hostility, disrespect and derision toward him.
