The Big Bang. Everything began from a region smaller than the point of pin. Further it requires Dark Matter to make it work. This is what Dark Matter is Dark Matter: Hidden Mass Confounds Science, Inspires Revolutionary Theories. http://www.space.com/science....-2.html And so there is the missing link question of how a star is formed of real matter and dark matter. If Dark matter is gravitational, why does it not accrete (attract to each other and coagulate)? One has to one wonder how stars and planets form in the presence of Dark matter. Something about this seems incredibly unwholsome. Dark matter can assemble galaxies and keep them intact, yet somehow it did not accrete into planets and stars. One could argue that Dark Matter is diffuse, to which I would say "Why?". Why would it coagulate enough to form galaxies, yet not coagulate to help form stars and planets. So the missing link here is not just the population III star, but a formation mechanism involving Dark Matter. yeah, whatever Sal, whatever. Meanwhile, in the real world, actual science is getting done on the subject. There are things we don't know about dark matter.  The only logical conclusion is that it's all a load of nonsense and everything's 6,000 years old.  Isn't that right, Sal? -------------- Math is just a language of reality.

It just might not be what the YEC community really wants, but it would be a victory for both the OEC and YEC camp. As we all know, the age of the universe directly correlates to the truthiness of "darwinism". And Sal's pride is growing, could there be a fall! :)   Quote I apologize for my absence as I was tied up. If you haven't heard, there is a chance that I will be in the cast of Ben Stein's "Expelled", the pro-ID movie. I was busy tracking down leads on that story lately. So on the one hand Sal gets excited about a propaganda piece and on the other admits there is no evidence for his position! Quote As I have said, I'm only about 85% convinced YEC is true, and on empirical grounds I could not say I find the evidence anywhere it needs to be to be viable. So even Sal admits there is no actual evidence, but he's happy to promote views that rely on such evidence to kids (if this film is aimed at college kids anyway). -------------- I also mentioned that He'd have to give me a thorough explanation as to *why* I must "eat human babies".

oldmanintheskydidntdoit Posts: 4999 Joined: July 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Aug. 26 2007,05:16    Sal obviously finds it useful to keep up the pretense of "I only go where the evidence leads" even if his starting point is somewhat absurd. If he keeps this up, he'll be believing in an old universe and the power of RM+NS in no time :) I mean, if unimpeachable evidence was presented on his forum that he had to accept that the universe is much older then his current target of a couple a hundred million years, and if he adjusts his viewpoint accordingly then what's left of his "young cosmos" claims? Of course, we know it's just a pretense so he can appeal to "the kids" and be seen to be "open minded" about where the evidence leads. No different from AFDave in that regard, except at least AFDave was honest about it from the beginning whereas Sal is hiding behind the skirts of the scientific method. -------------- I also mentioned that He'd have to give me a thorough explanation as to *why* I must "eat human babies".

Richardthughes Posts: 11178 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Aug. 31 2007,15:48    This post: Quote Much appreciated, Dr. Cheesman. No problem. As I have said, I'm only about 85% convinced YEC is true, and on empirical grounds I could not say I find the evidence anywhere it needs to be to be viable. It would be unethical not to make the YEC community aware of the difficulties you raise. This new phenomena is potentially fatal to the 6,000 version of YEC. There is of course, for the sake of argument, a version of YEC which might not be in line with Genesis, but would put limits of say a few hundred million years. That may be empirically defensible even without, especally if the small universe hypothesis succeeds. I've been in touch with Robert Fritzius over the matter of futher inquiry into the small universe. As I have stated I have far less indigestion over an alternate reading of Genesis than others here. And in fact, a universe of a few hundred million years would adequately refute Darwinian evolution and favor some form of special creation. It just might not be what the YEC community really wants, but it would be a victory for both the OEC and YEC camp. There is plenty that troubles me over the mainstream models, not the least of whcih is the Big Bang. The YECs are not the only ones to object, but there is dissent from non-creationist quarters that is growing. The Big Bang theory could be overturned. I apologize for my absence as I was tied up.

I was busy tracking down leads on that story lately. http://www.virtual-creations.net/~youngc....b0f#762 It is painfully evident that Sal wants a 6 day creation not only to confirm the biblical account but also do disprove "Darwinism". His new stance seems to be picked simply so that the time-frame for evolution would be too short rather than for any scientific reason. Can't.....let......evolution...be....true. He's a deluded nutter. The end. -------------- "Richardthughes, you magnificent bastard, I stand in awe of you..." : Arden Chatfield "You magnificent bastard!

I won't link to the site, because only FtK can comment there, and because the post is pure Cordrivel as only Sal can excrete it, but one sentence is worth pointing out (my emphasis).   Quote Let the reader judge for himself if the content of this video is deserving of the punishments received by Gonzalez. Earth (old) to Sal - A tenure denial is not punishment. It is one of two possible outcomes when you take a tenure-track job. Just like failing is one of two possible outcomes when you take a course on the pass/fail system. And, in both cases, the person being tested has a lot of control over what happens, if they are well-prepared and if they pay reasonable attention to the rules of the game.
