Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)

[Zen Badger]

Hey Zen,

To be honest I am getting a bit bored with the whole ASC discussion

I'm sure you are since it has been quite thoroughly gutted on this thread, however I'm not.

You advanced this rather silly theory as an answer to the problem of the size of the observable universe flatly contradicting the YEC position, I will show WHY ASC doesn't provide an answer.

but I will answer your question anyways. Well in E=mc^2, "c" is the average speed of light in a vacuum, since we can only measure this in a round trip we do not need to invoke a synchrony convention, so the value for "c" is the same regardless of which synchrony convention is used. Does that make sense?

But this is where you fail, E=mc2 requires that c is a constant. Not an average, not able to wildly vary from 1/2 cto infinity.

Because if it wasn't a constant nuclear physicists would not be able to accurately calculate the output of nuclear weapons and reactors..amongst other things.

And it is this one little fact that consigns ASC to the rubbish bin of half assed ideas( such as Lysenkoism) where it belongs.

And since you failed to realise the implications of what ACS means to physics in general I have to admit to serious misgivings as to your actual scientific competence.
