Why Won't They Carbon Date This?

by Perry in

"for the first time in human history a dinosaur fossil is presenting us with the opportunity to see what a living dinosaur looked like.

in 2001 a field research team unearthed the worlds most complete dinosaur fossil, a brachylophosaurus nicknamed leonardo.

this incredible dinosaur has all of its skin covering its body, missing only a bit on the head and tail.

Time is simply another dimension relative to your point of view. Manipulating time during the creation event would be child's play for God..

Well, if God likes to manipulate stuff just to make it look old and fool us rubes, how can you trust anything in his book?

"He made it look old" is the biggest cop out on the planet, and if he did just that, what is the point of your arguing Carbon 14 dating and natural mummification??? He just made fake dinosaur fossils and put them in rocks to fool all those paleontologists!

This was not a problem for Einstein, who explained the relative nature of time as well as believed in an all-powerful Creator

Einstein believed in a supremely rational deity, not some tricky dude playing tricks on scientists.

"I believe in Spinoza's God, Who reveals Himself in the lawful harmony of the world"

"God is subtle but he is not malicious."

Already covered botchtower.

Carbon 14 doesn't apply here!

Please 'splain Perry on that thread. What, we can't trust our lying eyes because your literal interpretation of Scripture tells you so!?

This is the easiest most foolproof refutation of your tiny boxed god I have ever come across.

OK. Maybe Perry can come back to this thread and answer some questions:

Speed of light, Perry. Speed of light!

If you can see the Andromeda galaxy on a dark clear summer night, how can you possibly think the Universe is only 6k years old or so?

For Perry: the most distant known object in the Universe.

by BurnTheShips in

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4274187/.

this object is 13 billion light-years away.. light travels 300,000 kilometers per second.. it took 13 billion years for us to receive the light that was recorded as the image in the article:.

buy a cheap telescope at a department store, and you can see the andromeda galaxy easily.

BTT since Perry is making the rounds.

buhu-- why wont scientists use C14 dating wrong? buu-huuu

well sport, it may be because creotards are the only ones who believe C14 dating can be applied without discretion to any piece of random gunk, and the result then say much beyond why morons should be kept away from expensive equipment they do not understand. Fortuately the later seem to be easily accomplished by writing "library" on the door to the laboratory.

Scientists in general tend to ask questions like: "can this particular method be applied in this case?", "What is the risk of centamination?" and so on.

I still do not believe the above questions are entirely outside the scope of your intellect, but that bible sure aint helping...

LOL. Bohm FTW!

I'm late to the thread, but carbon dating won't work back that far. The signature gets too weak because of the radioactive decay of the isotope.

The Ancient Jewish CROSS and the ancient Hebrew letter Taw

by brit-93108 in

the ancient jewish cross by al garza phd is a groundbreaking book just published by createspace (isbn-13: 978-1461133896; april 27, 2011).. i'm about to order this book because it means a lot to me personally.

i was completely unaware of the history or meaning of ancient hebrew letter taw.

shaped like a cross and avoided by various jewish rabbi today due to its ties to jesus christ's death since his execution, taw is a pictorgraph used prior to babylonian captivity meaning "mark," "sign," "covenant," "seal," or more specifically, "sign, covenant, and seal of yhwh god" -- and fulfilled when jesus the messiah finalized the covenant on it through his blood so that we could have eternal life.. is the cross jewish or pagan?

The Romans used crosses because they were a convenient shape for a public execution. It has nothing to do with the letter "T'. They were used long before the Romans had any involvement with Judea (and crucifixion was used by others as well).

All existing alphabets trace their lineage to the Phoenicians/Canaanites. The alphabet concept has really only ever been independently invented once. Where it did not gain acceptance, we still have logograms/ideograms/pictograms in use.

The Roman T looks a lot like the Greek Tau and the original Semitic Taw/Tav.

The letter taw looked nothing like a cross....

In the ancient script it seems to bear a resemblance.

Atheist Fascism

by Band on the Run in

jw
friends

it is so draining for me to constantly read threads by atheists that assert that those of who are uncertain or have faith have irrational minds.

god can not be proven or unproven.

the harping is tedious.

botchtowersociety

So it would not be fair for me to compare christians to fascists? Even when they get loud and opiniated?

It would be as fair as doing so with atheists that behave similarly. It is the mindset behind the behavior that is wrong, rather than whether or not someone is a person of a religious faith, or of none at all.
