Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)
RE: Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Interesting. If you have never observed something happening then you’d have no idea what the results of that process looked like to infer the event happened elsewhere. We actually have observed catastrophic events carving out canyons, and those results look identical to the Grand Canyon. So I believe this is a more scientific approach.

What about god he clearly lacks observable proof, so does everything in the bible lacks observable proof, how do you know that Jesus existed you only have a book that tells you that he did how observable is that?

If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

So Statler, nothing to say about gods purpose for supernova remnents and colliding galaxies???

No?? didn't think so.

However an old universe theory fits them in just nicely.

Guess you've just failed again.Big Grin

What are you talking about? God's purpose in creation is to bring glory to Himself, period. As to this misconception that supernova remnants point to an old universe, nothing could be farther from the truth. Let's take a look at the numbers

Expected number of observable supernova remnants if the universe were billions of years old:

Stage 1: 2
Stage 2: 2260
Stage 3: 5000

Expected number of observable supernova remnants if the universe were only thousands of years old:

Stage 1: 2
Stage 2: 125
Stage 3: 0

Actual observable supernova remnants to date:

Stage 1: 5
Stage 2: 200
Stage 3: 0


So you can see, the actual observable data are far more in line with a young universe than an old one. Thanks for bringing the topic up!

As far as movement of galaxies, many spiral galaxies actually wind up too quickly in order to be billions of years old, so that
is pretty good young universe evidence too. Thanks for that one too!

They are also millions of light years away.
Good evidence for an old universe wouldnt you say.
So thanks for that.
