The universe appears "old", but it is still less than 10,000 years old

I believe they would show the same dilation under either convention because under ASC they are traveling the same distance while under ESC the slower of the two traveling clocks is traveling for a longer period of time than the faster clock thus undergoing a longer period of time dilation.

Clock 1 = 2 hours at 20,000MPH
Clock 2 = 4 hours at 10,000MPH

Using the standard Lorentz Contraction, Clock 1 experiences a RTF of 1.0000000004447147 for 2 hours. Clock 2 experiences a RTF of 1.0000000001111786 for 4 hours.

So clock 2 maybe travelling for twice the amount of time, but it is subject to a quarter of the contraction. Under ASC, they have travelled the same distance and should be subject to the same RTF. This should be demonstrable.

People during Noah’s time were saved by Christ’s death as well as people after Christ.

True, but what happened to them in the meantime? Were they stuck in hell until the crucifixition? Or purgatory? Or was it a case of cause coming before effect and they were already saved because of an event that would happen in the future?


I'm a bit short on time at the moment so I'll respond to the other points later
