Yes, and things that ejected from the Earth would tend to either fall back to Earth or end up in orbit around the Earth. In order for it to end up not being in Earth orbit, you'd have to not simply get far enough away from the Earth because part of your velocity came from having been on the...

I don't think so. The asteroid belt can't be considered any form of ring, really. The entire asteroid belt is less than four percent of the mass of our moon and 40% of that is found in the single asteroid called Ceres and two third of the rest of the mass is found in the next three largest...

I agree with this sentiment entirely but, just to be super clear (for those who might try really hard to misunderstand), when you say " we do not gain in spirit....", you mean that we do not gain in our standing before God, not that we profit nothing of spiritual significance by attending a...

In order for something to go from being in orbit around the Earth to being in an orbit around the Sun, you have cancel out most of the kinetic energy that is making the object(s) follow the Earth in its orbit. The Earth is moving something like 67,000 miles per hour in its path around the Sun...

The amount of energy it would take to send that much material just into low Earth orbit is more than would likely be generated by the processes described in the book, never mind sending it into an orbit around the Sun! The idea is more than a little bit implausible to my mind. Clete

Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory is the best I've ever seen, BY FAR! I'm not sure that I buy every aspect of it, though. The idea that ejecta from the Earth could account for comets needs a more robust analysis, for example. Over all, however, it is easily the most scientifically sound and...

Okay, so what is it about whatever canopy that you think was there that's superior to the best theories that bible believing scientists are currently putting forward? In what way would it be a superior hypothesis, either scientifically or biblically?

I thought the idea of a water canopy died a long time ago. I remember it was popular when I was a kid but wasn't it abandoned decades ago now? Atmospheric pressure was only one of its problems. Seems like there was something about a major issue about the temperature. Water vapor is a very...

Does anyone else find it weird when people analyze Genesis as if it had been published in the Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics?

Well, that's one way for my prediction to come true! :cool:

There are something like 23 moons and planets that we know have water, not the least of which is the planet Saturn who's entire ring system is almost entirely made up of about 15.4 quadrillion metric tons of 95% pure water ice. (Quadrillions is equal to millions of billions or thousands of...

John 8:24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

I have more evidence that you're a liar than I have that you're a believer. You obviously know nothing at all about scripture. You don't know right from wrong. You talk in platitudes and cliches. You seem to have no discernment at all. Until I evidence to the contrary, I'll give you the...

On the contrary. It's really important to me to state the truth, whether it hurts your feelings or not. If what I've said offends you, get over it. If you can refute it, do so. But you won't. You won't even try. Hypocrite. Says the fool that comes here and tells a made up story and slanders...

🤣 You think that I'm an atheist? I don't follow. What in the world did I say that lead you to think I was saying any such thing? I'm not showing off. I'm telling you the truth. Perhaps you should read my post again because you seem confused. Your comments do not seem to connect to anything I...

Of course, but whether it's one month or one hundred years certainly does enter into the age of accountability doctrine. I still clearly remember when I first started posting on TOL, there was some lunatic woman who had murdered her own children in order to guarantee their entry into Heaven. It...

If you were 10% as "close to God" as you pretend, you'd have never written this post. Transparently foolish nonsense. Go move to California, take a few hits of Acid and find a guru that will talk gibberish about most anything other than stuff that effects your actual life like "doctrine...

I'm sure you're right about it not being monolithic. Those that do believe in an age of accountability, it seems to me, would likely argue something like, "We can know that children who die before reaching the age of accountability were predestined to be saved by virtue of the fact that God...

I agree. I can't imagine how it would fit but how much would you bet that they don't believe in an age of accountability anyway? I wouldn't bet a single cent! In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't believe in an age of accountability. Predestination doesn't prevent them believing in the...

That's interesting. It never occurred to me to ask a Calvinist about the age of accountability. Do you have any experience with how they respond to such a question?
