Merry Christmas to you too!
This is very genuine Dad, I have to tell you that, I really respect your concern about people's faith in God, but nobody assumes God is wrong! This is your BIGGEST misconception about science. Most scientists would agree that God exists in one shape or form even if they have no proof of that, but they would not agree with Religion! God is NOT a religion, but Christianity IS! You have to accept the fact that Science and Christianity are not in the same bucket, they're two different fields. Christianity should stick to the spiritual like Science sticks to the physical, you can use Science to explain family values as much as you can use Christianity to explain the theory of relativity... they are just different!
Belief in Jesus, the creator, agrees with real science. The stuff that goes off on a tangent, into some imagined dark past or future, is not science. It doesn't matter if many,, who are 'scientists' think it is science, they are wrong as wrong can be. And that is evidenced by their inability to do more than assume the premise for all those claims.
Here is where we have a problem: your claims are not based on any proof at all, they are not even based on anything reliable so they can't be used to argue scientific .
They are based on all the evidence that we all have, but I have said that science can't go to the past, or future, and claim the state was a certain way. So I do not try to make a so called science claim there. I simply destroy the claims that are made, pretending they are science. Like shooting ducks.
Where we stand, so far is that science cannot know, and is limited to the present, where it's mandate started and ends.
Where we also stand, is that I have a real bible case for a temporary present universe. In the light of a temporary universe, the temporary universe based ideas are brought into perspective, as tiny, unable to oppose the bible, and fairly unimportant, in the bigger picture.
The Bible is not reliable because it is open to interpretation, you have proven it yourself since you take the length of day to be literal, yet you try to interpret the Bible in order to prove that the speed of light was different.
I have shown that a day existed, as something other than a long period of time, in the pre universe creation realms of eternity. You have admitted, I think, that there was some different light, before the sun and stars shone on earth, for the plants. Plants that happen to have been created one day.
I'm tired of arguing with you, here is what it boils down to:
You claim: Day is the same today as it was during creation.
Relatively, yes. Close enough.
I claim: Light is the same today as it was during creation.
You say: That can't be, because you assume the same past state.
I say: It can be, for the same reason that a day is the same length as today!
Yes you say that. And you think it is a good point, apparently. No. It is apples and oranges. Days are in eternity, our light is not. As outlined, it could not have been our universe state, and light, or it could not reach earth from a created star in a man's lifetime.
A present day is more recognizable compared to a day in eternity, that present light is comparable to light in the forever state.
