Young Earth creationism.

For some reason DDO doesn't let me put images here are links to the images in order. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://en.wikipedia.org... The definitions of the time units My opponent has agreed that a year is a time unit. But here is where our disagreement is in the definition of year. In my mind a year is a time unit that represent 356 days and sometimes 366. (Days in my mind having nothing to do with the earth ,only being an unit of time to represent 24 hours) Well I and my opponent agree on the term that a year is a time unit representing 365 days. We disagree on one factor my opponent sees that a year is : the time taken by the earth to make one revolution around the sun.(MysticEgg round 1) So for my opponent it depends on the time that the earth takes to make a revolution around the sun. This is most obviously shown in the comments section quotes from MysticEgg : When asked if years and days are units independent from the movements of celestial bodies he answered - However, a day and year cannot, because they revolve around (see what I did there?) said bodies' rotations and revolutions. So a year should always represent exactly how long it took the earth to rotate the sun? Now I will explain to you why this is completely wrong and that years , days and hours have become independent time unit that are no longer reigned by the movements of celestial bodies. Although all of the units are close enough in alignment with the celestial bodies they are no longer governed by them. Hours should in theory be based in earths rotation on it"s one circumference a period of said to be 24 hours (wrong by the way 23 hours ,56 minutes and 4.1 seconds.). They should be an unit of time to follow the rise and downfall of the sun on our sky. But it has obviously become pretty independent from the sun and from the earth you only need to take a loock at Time zone map this is how it locks : Hours have obviously today are no longer governed by the sun Explained in this article of Wikipedia here an exert: Today, all nations use standard time zones for secular purposes, but they do not all apply the concept as originally conceived. Newfoundland, India, Iran, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Burma, Sri Lanka, the Marquesas, as well as parts of Australia use half-hour deviations from standard time, and some nations, such as Nepal, and some provinces, such as the Chatham Islands, use quarter-hour deviations. Some countries, most notably China and India, use a single time zone, even though the extent of their territory far exceeds 15" of longitude http://en.wikipedia.org... One of the best examples that hours became independent units are shown in China until 1949 China had five time zones as shown in this map. http://en.wikipedia.org... It has become quiet obvious that hours are an independent time unit. They still try to keep them aligned to the sun but is obvious hours are a time unit that was created by The Egyptians and Babylonians who divided the day from sunrise to sunset into twelve hours, and the night into twelve hours. But that now are become pretty independent from the sun. Now I"ll show you why Days have become independent time units from the earths rotation. What I"m getting from my opponent is that in his mind days are dependent on the rotation of the sun so if the earth happened to turn faster days would be faster now I have a simple way of disproving this is prove that the 24 hours day that we use today is false a day 23 hours ,56 minutes and 4.1 seconds. So yeah if the rotations of the Earth take 23 hours,56 minutes and 4.1 seconds. Why aren"t days that long? Simple a day has become an unit independent from the sun,duh. http://www.universetoday.com... Now let"s take on the center of our debate the definition of year. My opponents definition of year is : the time taken by the earth to make one revolution around the sun. I will show you why this definition of year is wrong. Leap years . If we take MysticEgg definition of year ,a year is only as long as it takes the earth to do revolution around the sun. But leap years aren"t years were earth takes one day longer to make the revolution around the sun. So MysticEgg"s definition of year is wrong since we have leap years but the Earth doesn"t take one day longer to make it"s revolution around the sun. Every Year is 365 and 6 hours long. Although I don"t agree with Cp greys definition of year I"ll show a video of his as a source ,it will also explain why leap years exist and will serve as a source for this argument. So now you know why MysticEgg definition of year is wrong. Well okay time is relative but does that make the age of Earth relative? Short answer :Yes Long answer: But what does age mean? Simply put : the length of time that a person has lived or a thing has existed http://www.oxforddictionaries.com... In this case the length of time that a thing has existed (Earth). Now how does the fact that time is relative make the age of earth relative? Both participants of these debate have agreed upon that time is relative. Well I will try to explain why the age of earth is relative. First what does relative mean? 2. Considered in comparison with something else: the relative quiet of the suburbs. 3. Dependent on or interconnected with something else; not absolute. See Synonyms at dependent. From:http://www.thefreedictionary.com...... Well in this debate there has been alot of talk about time being relative ,why this is so I will explain in more detail later but for now just belief me since MysticEgg and I have both agreed that time is relative. Time isn"t absolute there places in the universe where time flows faster or slower relative to other places in the universe. (Hint,Hint,Hint Black holes) So if you were in a place(place1) were time flowed slower relative to an other place(place2) in the universe. Time on place 1 would flow normally if you were there but for some one observing you from place 2 you would seem like stuck in slow motion. If you would be in one of those places were time flows faster or slower a minute for you would still be a minute. But relative to other places you would seem to be on slow motion or turbo speed. So now you know why age is relative since the time that you exist is relative. Time relativity explained and black Holes Black hole event horizons: An extra-slow version of slow motion One other case where time slows down, this time in general relativity, involves black holes. Recall that a black hole bends space-time itself, to the point where even light can"t escape. This bending of space-time means that as you approach a black hole, time will slow down for you relative to the outside world. If you were approaching the black hole and your best friend Dean was far away watching (and could somehow watch "instantly," without worrying about the time lag from light speed), Dean would see you approach the black hole, slow down and eventually come to rest to hover outside of it. Through the window of your spaceship, Dean would see you sitting absolutely still. You, on the other hand, would not notice anything in particular " at least until the intense gravity of the black hole killed you. But until then, it certainly wouldn"t "feel" like time was moving differently. You"d have no idea that as you glide past the black hole"s event horizon (which you possibly wouldn"t even notice), thousands of years were passing outside of the black hole. http://www.dummies.com... When you pass event horizon and enter the black hole your time goes extremely slow relative to the outside and the outside time is on turbo speed relative to the inside of the black hole. If you passed event horizons 1 second for you could be 1000 thousands of year in the outside. Your time would go slower and slower relative to the outside of the black hole depending on how close you got to the singularity . So if a black hole that existed before the creation of Earth for them Earth has probably existed for less then 1 year. Relative to them from the creation of Earth maybe only few minutes have passed. Making the age of Earth for any one inside a black hole zero. This of course only applies to black holes that are older then earth. So the only thing that I have now to do to prove that earth is less than 600 years old is to prove the existence of a black hole that is older then Earth . Well there is actually one right in the middle of the milky way. So with that my burden has been completed. http://en.wikipedia.org... http://www.youtube.com...
