Young Earth Creationism Is Not Possible

I will only give a rebuttal to my opponents argument from round two as implied. I. The Big Bang My opponent gives evidence for the Big Bang theory but there is crucial evidence that contradicts the theory as well. The standard Big Bang cosmology has three major problems that are known as: 1) The horizon problem 2) The smoothness problem 3) The flatness problem[1][2] The Big Bang also violates the First Law of Thermodynamics as it states that the total quantity of matter and energy in the universe is constant. [3] The element abundance predictions using the Big Bang, my opponent mentioned, require too many adjustable parameters to make them work. [4] As tested, Helium Diffusion supports a Young Earth Creation of 6,ooo years through nuclear decay. [5] The The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that matter and energy always tend to change from complex and ordered states to disordered states. Therefore the universe could not have created itself, it could not have existed forever, or it would have run down long ago. [6] This also says that we can not be improving and becoming more complex but instead are becoming disordered. Pro mentions the stars but the high velocity in the dispersion of all the stars should have separated them from dwarf stars long ago. [7] According to astronomical observations, galaxies like our own experience about one supernova every 25 years. The gas and dust remnants from such explosions expand outward rapidly and should remain visible for over a million years. Yet the nearby parts of our galaxy in which we could observe such gas and dust shells contain only about 200 supernova remnants. That number is consistent with only about 7,000 years worth of supernovas. [8] The Cosmic micro background itself seems to indicate a reference to YEC. The latest evidence from the Boomerang data strongly suggests, based on standard big bang cosmology, either that there is no CDM, or that big bang cosmology is wrong, or both! [9] There are far too many holes and inconsistencies in the Big-Bang theory to cancel out YEC. My opponents first contention can not leave us saying that YEC is impossible. II. Meteorites My opponents contention here consist of dating techniques and the reasoning for meteorites. Hydroplate Interpretation- Earth was the parent body of all meteorites, most of which are pillar fragments. Tidal pumping heated and cracked pillars. Just as water circulates within a submerged sponge that is squeezed and stretched, tidal pumping circulated mineral-laden water within cracks in pillars for years before the flood. Pillar fragments, launched into space by the fountains of the great deep and became meteoroids. [10] New (zircon) data allows us to calculate more exactly how long diffusion has been taking place. The result is 6000 (± 2000) years—about 250,000 times smaller than the alleged 1.5 billion year Uranium-Lead age. [11] A further problem is that the 4.3 billion-year-old zircon, dated according to the U/U method, was identified by the U/Th method to be undatable. An unbiased observer would be forced to admit that this contradiction prevents any conclusion as to the age. [12] My opponent tells us about the meteorites in the solar system but never tells us how one would measure them. The dates are not 100% reliable and this further ignores any theory that is outside physical means. Isotope dating is therefore not the absolute dating method and it is impossible to tell when the dates are right and when they are wrong. We can not concede that YEC is not possible from this contention. III. The Earth's Indicators We should not assume that the precipitation rate of ice cores has always been similar to that of today. The layers of ice near the bottom of the core should be thicker than expected by the uniformitarian model. Nothing in the ice-core data from either Greenland or Antarctica requires the earth to be of great age. [13] The idea my opponent suggest about continental drift and that sea-floor plates form slowly and continuously is not supported by geologic data. Furthermore, the cause for the alleged gradual and uninterrupted motion of plates is an unsolved mystery. The facts indicate that the separation of the continents, rifting of the ocean floor, and under thrusting of ocean trenches, were accomplished by rapid processes, not occurring today, initiated by a catastrophic mechanism. [14] If the creation science is correct, the model for magnetic reversals here on earth does fit well to the geophysical and rock palaeomagnetic data, earth’s magnetic field implies that it is not eternal but relatively recent. Today’s energy decay rate back to a theoretical maximum energy, and so has derived an upper limit for the age of the earth’s magnetic field at 8,700 years. [15] Millions of years are not necessary for the cooling of large igneous bodies. Moreover, the geologic role of hydrothermal cooling has already been extended to account for the rapid origin of thick metamorphic lithologies. [16] Rock rinds have been used for half a century to date glacial deposits. Although maximum and minimum rind thicknesses have helped to elucidate time since deposition and allowed stratigraphic division of deposits at glacial rank, little has been done to investigate the wealth of mineral degradation, growth of alteration products and bio mineralization that occur in these weathered crusts. In some cases the mass of microbe-mineral inter growth is nearly present on a 50%/50% basis, with the biotic mass inter grown with mineral matter to such an extent that it probably controls pH and redox phenomena that act as accelerators in the weathering process. [17] CONCLUSION: My opponent did not give us any rebuttal to my 1st contention [scientific dilemma]. By that contention alone gives us all the reason to not put YEC as impossible. Furthermore I have shown that even scientific evidence is mixed in support for YEC and Big-Bang & evolution. If science is mixed up on what they determine as evidence and facts then how can we exclude such a notion as YEC? This especially, since it has been a long lasting belief. We can not render YEC as impossible. SOURCES: [1] . http://www.physics.fsu.edu... [2] . http://en.wikipedia.org... [3] B. R. Bligh (2000), The Big Bang Exploded! [4] . http://www.metaresearch.org...
