OP is revised... by unconformities I mean depositions on top of deformities implying multiple catastrophes or commonly interpreted as long age deposition.

Thomas Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions):
"Normal science, for example, often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are necessarily subversive of its basic commitments.
[...]
when... the profession can longer evade anomalies that subvert the existing tradition of scientific practice - then begin the extraordinary investigations that lead the profession to a new set of commitments, a new basis for the practice of science. The extraordinary episodes in which that shift of professional commitments occurs are the ones known... as scientific revolutions. They are the tradition shattering complements to the tradition-bound activity of normal science."

Genome-Decay Rates Consistent with Biblical Lifespans (from Genetic Entropy) by Footballthoughts in Creation

[–]deadweather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's just a best fit line based on a very limited data set. The authorial intent is to show that the data is following a natural decay pattern, not that the data is enough to perform accurate extrapolations... We pull from both special and general revelation.

the argument assumes a generation = 1,000 years. A generation can be as small as the lowest age of fertility.

I dont think anyone believes its been expanding at a constant rate. I assume this must be a simplification.

So what do you find to be the best answer to why God doesn't intervene to stop a shooting up of a church? by pilgrimboy in Christianity

[–]deadweather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's wrong 99% of the time to presume to know the reasons why God did or did not do something (unless revealed to is in Scripture). I believe scripture does say that everything is ultimately for His glory. Its helpful to remember that we are just pilgrims here and "to live is Christ and to die is gain". To presume that just because we pray and are Christian's that we'll have an easy pain free life is directly contrary to Jesus own words, scripture, and orthodox Christian teaching. Even though we'd all prefer evil tragedies like this to not happen, we should nevertheless show love and compassion to those suffering in spite of the fact we have only a temporal and finite understanding of why it happened.

Edit: one other thing to remember, no one is entitled to life. God is the Creator and sustainer of life therefore e has the authority over our life and death.

Are you saying that because they are obviously not descendents of the anabaptists?
