@KatKanada_TM @feasibilian @DrFrankTurek Think about whom you would lie to, steal from, murder, or rape if you suddenly became convinced that no god exists. If the answer is “nobody”, you’ve demonstrated that a supernatural higher moral authority isn’t what actually guides your thinking and behavior.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@AiG yeah, takes it and violently destroys it by ordering bloodthirsty ancient warlords to slaughter entire populations of people and commanding families to stone their own family members to death for stupid non-crimes, according to the Bible.

@A__Philosopher @wendelltalks Please explain what you mean by category error.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@A__Philosopher @wendelltalks Because I don’t use the word “macroevolution”….too tainted. Search my replies for “DNA” and see my post/links about HERVs.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@A__Philosopher @wendelltalks I actually can, and have many times on Twitter, but that is a separate topic, and has no bearing on the validity and soundness of this argument, whose purpose is to demonstrate that Biblical literalist YEC is false & those who promote it are teaching falsehoods.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@A__Philosopher @wendelltalks Wow, really diving deep into a desperate argument there. I do NOT “assume” there cannot be anything other than a natural cause. I just would need whatever supernatural cause is being claimed, to be demonstrated with evidence.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@A__Philosopher @wendelltalks Good & fair bit of nuance, but actually irrelevant. Easily acctd for by changing “Earth” to “Universe” in all instances, and 10k univ is actually the claim YEC’s make. Or, just edit P1 to say “no things of Earthly origin”. Evidence still applies. Which do you think is better?

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@JudasMaccabeu10 @wendelltalks Jude, I’m glad you’re not concerned about the age. I wish more believers were like you in that. But there are many believers who make a big deal trying to argue for the young age, and it’s those whom I am addressing here

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@JudasMaccabeu10 @wendelltalks If Earth is really 10k y old but only *appears* 4.5B yrs old, despite many independ. dating methods confirming latter, then it “appears” **450,000 TIMES** (4.5B/10k) older than it is. Please describe, w supporting references, any process that would make Earth look 450,000X older

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@wendelltalks To add to that, I don’t believe you *only* care about doctrine. From@yr tweets, I believe you also care a lot about what makes you feel good, and about promoting beliefs that you feel make the world better (correct me if wrong). But these are *BAD* criteria for finding truth.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@wendelltalks Why should anyone care what you think? You’ve made it clr you’re not interested in truth, only doctrine. When confronted w reality, you ignore it. I sent a valid & sound syllogism 6 days ago w 4 supptg papers, proving one of yr main claims (Young Earth) false. Silence.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@wendelltalks @WildAtHeartAus 2) Here’s my syllogism. See replies for evid. for premises.

P1. If Earth is less than 10ky old, there can be no things on it that were alive or active over 10ky ago

P2. There were things alive or active (being formed) over 10ky ago

Concl: Earth is *NOT* less than 10k yrs old.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@JudasMaccabeu10 @wendelltalks Do you understand why the syllogism is “valid”?

[Thomas Westbrook @holykoolaid]

Pascal's Wager works both ways.

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@erichovind I prefer to pursue learning about what’s really actually true about the world, then let my “heart” figure out how to get on in the world in that reality.

Also, check out these other myths like yours abt battles betw good & evil supernatural powers.

@JudasMaccabeu10 @wendelltalks This argument is not about evolution. It is about the age of Earth. Whether anything evolved plays no part here, because it’s not a dichotomy (Bibiical YEC or Evolution).

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@rip157 @ICRscience Excelt point.

“If any param. of univ were even a bit diff’t, the univ couldn’t exist!”

AND

“Our book *must* be true, so our invis. deity *must* have incrsd decay rates *and* Earth’s heat loss rate by *thousands* of times, but just for a short while, then back again”

So bad

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

In this report (see replies) on radiometric dating, Institute for Creation Rsrch (@ICRscience) acknowledges earth can only be young if radiom. decay rates were SO much faster that the energy released wld have melted the planet. This fatal fact for YEC is called the ___ Problem

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

Here’s the report. See bottom of p761, where ICR acknowledges that they have a fatal problem (and another a couple pages lates), and then just basically **PRETENDS** it’s not a problem by saying that God must have fixed it.

@jordanbpeterson Dr. Peterson, honest question so I understand your view: you push back against climate being an “emergency/crisis”. Could you lay out what parameters/metrics/data you’d need to see to call it an emergency/crisis? E.g. “If it were clear that X # humans would die from it in 10 yrs”

[EonsNews @EonsNews]

@BurkParsons Ok. Please work with some of your fellow Christians on twitter who, desp having little or no science literacy, confidently assert total ignorant garbage about science, & spew a firehose of “I know better than thousands upon thousands of PhD researchers”. They need some humility.
