No, its not "Good".  It's an appeal to ridicule.  You seem to be referencing radiometric dating.  Step 1 would be to observewhat the acutal decay of the isotopes is.  Now, that known, tell me about step 2. 

 

 

============================================================

 

I'm not ridiculing you Jerry, just showing a stepwise process.

 

Well you don't actually see the decay rates of elements.  They are basically an extrapolation superimposed over said "Rock or Whatever" and could be impacted by a number of factors.  Specifically in this case, you have NO CLUE of : When the rock forms (hardens) there should only be parent radioactive atoms in the rock and no daughter radiogenic (derived by radioactive decay of another element) atoms .  There are 2 other unknowns that can't be tested....because they are all in the past.

 

And you already have documented errors with Rocks of known ages.

I didn't take it as a personal ridicule.  Appeal to ridicule is a fallacy wherein one presents the opposing argument as absurd, ridiculous or laughable. The steps in your previous example were exactly that as they nowhere near approximated the steps used for radiometric dating  and only attempted to make the my argument look foolish.

This makes no sense...we can measure in laboratories the decay rate of radioactive isotopes.  We use that knowlede for practical everyday uses.  How can you day we can't "see" the decay rates?  What do you mean by "see"?

??? I do not follow.

 

What are you not following Specifically???

 

And as far as Tesla, I just realized I don't think I really care what people think of him at all. I'm not really an anti Tesla-ite or anything.

 

The FBI (Government) sure had a "thing" for Tesla.  Anti "Tesla-ite"..... that is too funny.

 

This was my point,......

 

"We have to learn again that science without contact with experiments is an enterprise which is likely to go completely astray into imaginary conjecture"

Hannes Alfven PhD, Noble Prize Physics 1970

 

We're gonna touch on some of that "imaginary conjecture" over the next few weeks and beyond.  We'll start off today with a subject that, as far as I'm aware, hasn't been talked about @ all....The Nebular Hypothesis.  Hopefully, most know it's a Laugher....but you never can tell.

 

We're doing no such thing, but enjoy. Once again none of this is relevant to the observation I made in the OP that I can tell.

 

Do you disagree there is amazing order, on every level we can investigate, in the universe that is hard to explain if atheism is true?

No.  In fact, I'll go a many magnitudes higher than "amazing order"....The "Specific Complexity" is the overriding factor in the matter

 

We're doing no such thing,

 

Well maybe not you personally but it's happening on a Massive Collective Scale as evidenced by the evidences that have been (and will be posted) on these threads.  And you can't speak for "Everyone".

It was not my intent to derail your OP.  Forgive me, I will shut up until spoken to.....caveat: Unless I see Unsupported Conjectures/Falsehoods/or Undermining of the Word Of GOD

Can you cite Specific Complexity?  When I try to look it up, everyting defaults to "Specified Complexity".  thanks

Should be the same thing/concept.  I think William Dembski produced some Lit on it...could be mistaken, however.

 

I thought I explained this to you before, No?

I'm not speaking for everyone, but I am not interested in having  my threads derailed anymore by off topic things. I'm also not interested in you advertising your threads in mine so much.

 

If you agree with what I said, and it seems like you do given your agreement to my questions, I have no idea why you'd import this other stuff here.

The last time you explained it, you told me it came from your head.  If it's mimmicking Dembski, you should specify (no pun intended) "Specified Complexity".

... Science is not about philosophy and logic anymore.  We are turning off some of our brightest minds to science because in certain areas they are not allowed to believe what observation tells us.  They should know there is the natural world that is observed by science, and the spiritual world that is faith.

Kepler knew both worlds.

 

"About the time that the Reformation was proclaiming Christ rather than the pope as the head of the Church, science was announcing that the sun rather than the earth was the center of our planetary system. A leader in this changing scientific perspective was the German scientist Johann Kepler. Kepler (1571-1630) was the first scientist to accept Copernicus' theories that the earth rotated about the sun, and he was an important forerunner of Isaac Newton in systematizing science.

"A devout Lutheran, Kepler was studying theology and planning to become a minister when he was called to teach mathematics in Graz, Austria. Kepler realized he could glorify God through his mathematical and astronomical studies, and his scientific notes were often mixed with prayers and praise to his Lord.

"Kepler believed that there was an art and orderliness in God's creation and that the more Christians recognized the greatness of creation, the deeper their worship would be. Didn't God himself encourage the heathen to look carefully at creation so that they might come to know God? God created man in His image, and He wants us to recognize and know His design for the universe: The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics. In his astronomical research, Kepler only wanted to, as he put it, "think God's thoughts after Him."

"Kepler believed that there was a mathematical precision and orderliness in the universe; the scientist's duty was to discover what mathematical formula God had used ..."

"Your" Threads??  I didn't know you owned them.  This is a Forum, No?

 

Also....every single thread that I ever started or witnessed "Strayed" from the OP.....this is quite self-evident.

 

 

I have no idea why you'd import this other stuff here.

 

"Other stuff"?  Please be Specific and I will attempt to provide a rationale

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
