What the shitting fuck? The processes leading to the state of modern Mercury have NOTHING to do with evolution whatsoever, it is strictly the domain of the geologists/cosmologists/phycisists.

Their actual contention is with Mercury being older then a few thousand years....they are insane and so are you.

oh btw, the bible never actually says that the universe or the earth are only 6000 years old. That number was reached by a man who added upp whom begat whom and rounding out the projectied lifespans of each person of pertenance within biblical geneology.

But as the bible is a book in which the fundamental laws of nature themself do not nesecarily apply (being that there is a diety within it that transcends all such laws) there is no actual reason to suggest that the lifespan of mythical figures from the bible were the same as modern man.

Even from a christian perspective, your entire article is fucking stupid.

Fuck it, I'll come clean as this is getting me nowhere fast.
A fucking annoying christfag posted this on Facebook thinking he was ever so smart.
I read the article twice, and cant make heads or tails of that abomination of bullshit.
Thought I'd try posting here to see if anyone can help me fuck his shit right up. Guess I should have said this in the OP instead of a half arsed troll.
Oh well.

So the idea that the universe came from nothing is so ridiculous?

Where did God come from then?

Alright, briefly read the article.

First off, its from 2004, hence its use of "nine planets".

As far as I can tell the argument put forth is more or less this - Non-Creationists tend to over utilize the idea of collision events to account for discrepancies in a "gradual evolutionary process" model of planetary formation. It says that the moment a discrepancy occurs (i.e - Mercury's density or Uranus' tilt) from the general norm we associate with planetary formation, we use collision events to explain it away, rather than further examining potential flaws in the "gradual evolutionary process" model.

I assume by "gradual evolutionary processes" they mean accretion. Which is obviously not really related to biological evolution at all. And beyond that, if they're attempting to say that an almighty creator is more likely of an explanation for those discrepancies than collision events, or really any other explanation, then I think their argument is pretty flimsy. Is it more likely that large scale collision events occurred, or that an entity with no directly observable characteristics created the universe and those planets to be that way? Albeit neither are proven, simply because they haven't been observed, but the logic used to determine one as more valid over the other seems to point to a pretty obvious "more likely" answer.

>> No.4682134

>Evolutionists have admitted that the planet that we see today cannot be explained by gradual evolutionary processes!
no shit.

>> No.4682145

it's a strawman with multiple personalities

>> No.4682150

Refute with the following:

Relativistic orbits (and therefore certainly the relativistic n-body problem) are unstable.

Even the classical n-body problem is unsolved.

The behaviour of mercury is at best not yet fully understood and in all likelyhood, perfectly expected by existing theories.

Then tell him that either way, it's not relevant to a evolution.

This is what most christfags don't seem to understand.

Where did god come from? From nothing? He was always there? Why is that acceptable for god but ridiculous for the universe?

>> No.4682221

The main issue I have with things like this is that they like to try and tear down the currently established theories, but put up absolutely nothing to replace them.

We know that our theories can't explain everything yet. That's why we make more observations, to fill in the gaps and help develop better theories. Saying 'You haven't answered these questions yet, therefore everything you think is completely wrong' just seems daft.
