TIME CONSTANCY = PROOF of GOD

This debate is 4 rounds so I'll continue if you're ok with that. Unless you would rather win by a misconception on my part rather than have the debator with the most compelling argument be the victor I apologize for the straw man that I accidentally created. I see now that you mean the fact that time is constant means that there is some basis for it being so, and god would be the only entity that provides such a basis. First let us address the controversy of whether or not time is constant, and then we shall proceed to the second controversy of why God (I'll provide a definition that you are welcome to question: a conscious entity with superhuman abilities that is NOT a physical phenomenon, unless of course your are referring to a specific one, feel free to notify me) With my first argument I proved that one cannot be sure that time is constant by using cesium clocks. (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil...) Your counterargument consisted of telling me that time cannot be inconstant because it is constant, and the fact that any inconstancies in time cannot be measured means that I could be making them up. You are correct. However, I only provided you with one example of a situation where the constancy of time is called into question, and you are astute to point out my argument from ignorance there. However, we (humanity) have detected some tiny inconsistencies (using a huge detector called LIGO. It has found Gravitational Waves, which are minuscule disturbances of space AND time https://www.ligo.caltech.edu... ) If that isn't enough to make you believe time is inconstant, I don't know what will. In addition, your 60 seconds in a minute argument is purely based upon the fact that they are both defined with the other in mind, and are purely subjective measurements of time vs. real time passing. In fact, more time could be passing in the time of one second than one second exactly, due to gravitational waves, or just speeding on the way to work, but there would still be 60 seconds in that minute, you would just experience them as slightly longer or shorter. "Time passes 60 seconds per minute" That is simply because they are defined as such and have no real scientific basis. You seem to think you have refuted my time dilation argument by speeding on the way to work and watching your clock move the same as it normally does. However, the Lorentz factor dictates that time will actually be going 1/(1-(v^2/c^2)^1/2) times slower than usual. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu... (in the case of speeding to work you are nowhere close to the speed of light (C) so your Lorentz factor would only add nanoseconds at the most to each minute you experience) The average analogue or digital clock will not detect this but there are plenty of experiments that have, such as the Ives-Stillwell experiment. http://www.gsjournal.net... In addition, if you were speeding significantly close to the speed of light, you would still experience 60 seconds in a minute, but both values would take much longer to elapse. To sum up: There is plenty of evidence here that proves time to be inconstant, while still maintaining the fact that 60 seconds are in a minute. No, these are not incompatible with each other, because a minute is defined as having 60 seconds it is impossible for anything other to be the case. However, more or less time may pass during that minute, for a variety of reasons. Next, your P1: "Without God there would be no basis for time constancy" (This would be your actual argument if I am correct) Why would this be the case? Even if time were constant, there is absolutely no evidence for that. That statement is just noting a natural phenomenon (Which of course is not actually present) and then concluding that there is no other valid explanation for it's behavior, but God. Perhaps god is the only known entity with sufficient power, but why need there be any entity to ensure this in the 1st place? The way I see it, after the universe began, it expanded outward in all 4 dimensions, (not constantly as we have hopefully established) including time, in order to come closer to a relatively low energy ground state for the universe due to the principles of maximum entropy. (The same principles are demonstrated in why galaxies are flat discs, and all of the planets in our solar system are distributed along a flat plane extending from the equator of the sun) https://math.dartmouth.edu... In short, your declaration that time is constant is demonstrably false, and your assertion that nothing other than God (And I am assuming you mean the Judeo- Christian deity) can provide a concrete basis for time constancy is by no means explained to its full extent. Ideally you would elaborate more and we could continue, however if you would like to keep to your initial winnings (I will admit I should undeniably have lost there) say so, and I will forfeit.
