A question for old earth believers

[Dustin Kesselberg]

While we wait for jesus_freak to reply: Dustin, do you have any disagreement with the analysis that I posted that shows that JF's argument is incorrect?

No. I agree that the Moon's drift from the earth has nothing to do with the earths age.

 

[athon]

No. I agree that the Moon's drift from the earth has nothing to do with the earths age.

Then explain:

BTW, Good question. Watch them invent some way to weasel out of it.

How is it a good question if you don't feel the moon's drift is relevant at all to the Earth's age? ETA: If you agree with us that the drift is not relevant to the Earth's age, then why would you describe it as 'weasling' out of it when you share that same view?

Every question is a good question in my opinion. The question was an attempt to learn more about how our solar system works and how one shouldn't date the earth.

 

[Zep]

...and how one shouldn't date the earth.

So how should one date the Earth, d'you think, Justin?

 

[slingblade]

With wine and flowers, of course. A nice dinner can't hurt.

You jumped in while I was editing, so I'll repeat the second bit; why use the term 'weasel' when it reflects your own view?

You come across more and more cowardly, Dustin. It fools nobody. Pathetic.

And I expect you will also say that you hold weasels in the highest respect. Yes?

Wait for him to pull out an online dictionary which demonstrates that weasels are cute animals known for their cunning...or something equally sad.

How brave you are over the internet. If you were as rude and insulting in person as you are online you would probably have an indefinitely sore nose or busted jaw.

Please refrain from any implication of violence towards other forum members, else you find yourself no longer allowed to post here.

From you, perchance?

Alleging violence against me because you've been called out as a coward doesn't answer the question, Dustin, and only further demonstrates the reality that you're now backpeddling and have no answer.

So, again, why use the term 'weasel' when it reflects your own view?

I would never hit anyone simply because of something they said. I'm not a thug. However there are a lot of people who would. I just find it funny how brash and rude you are to people simply because you disagree with them and note that it's highly unlikely you would act the same in person.

Third attempt: So, again, why use the term 'weasel' when it reflects your own view?

The fact you keep cutting that out says more than any response, I guess. But the more I point that out the more cowardly you demonstrate yourself as being.

So you would wish physical violence on people, even though you may not like to do it yourself.

Third+1 attempt: Why use the term 'weasel' when it reflects your own view?

TIA, Dustin.

I think it would be pretty easy to figure out that the further out the moon gets, the more easily and thus the quicker it moves away from that point. That's just a rough bit of logic of course but my point is that even a cursory glance would tell you that concluding a consistant dropoff rate for ANY object who's orbit is degrading away from us is just nuts.

Let's reverse it and see how nuts it is. Imagine something is getting 3 inches CLOSER to us every year. Am I to assume it'll stay the same rate and we'll be watching it, about a foot above our heads, STILL descending at 3 inches a year, or MAYBE since it's closer it'll actually descend at a faster and faster rate, possibly even smashing into the planet at a speed our eyes can't track?

I'm just saying you need to think just a bit further than the point where you think you have something that kinda works against this or that theory. Try to tear APART your own argument, and maybe you'll eliminate the nonsense before we get a chance. If you can't, then maybe you are onto something.

Dustin doesn't believe in the OT, since Jesus poo-pood it. So he doesn't think the old laws are valid any more.

And since Jesus was all for being violent and stuff... oh... wait... turn the other what? He said that? Really?

[athon]

Oh, just in case Dustin thinks we've forgotten:

Where did I say I would wish it upon Athon? I'm simply saying if someone is as rude as he is to everyone he disagrees with on this forum to people in person then he would have a pretty tough time getting through the day without a busted nose or jaw.

 

[athon]

'Rude' obviously = asking questions which are too hard

Why use the term 'weasel' when it reflects your own view?
