Ben Carson Thinks Joseph Built the Pyramids.... WTF?

[erowe1]

Time did not suddenly change rate of passage on the earth when Adam was created.
Anyways, I'm done posting here as I'm sick of repeating myself again and again only to have everyone but Dr 3D agreeing, have fun

Nobody said that.

And nobody who understands the conversation agrees with you.

The mental gymnastics necessary to uphold the young earth creation myth never ceases to amaze...

That's because you are too smart to understand it.

to erowe:

I said I wasn't gonna respond, but I'll respond to you without furthering the actual topic we were discussing.

I said:

Time did not suddenly change rate of passage on the earth when Adam was created.

You said:

Nobody said that.

You also said:

Nobody in the discussion you are talking about equated the 6 days of creation with 6 rotations of the earth.

Which I explained to you that he did in my previous posts, which you cleverly edited from my quote as if I didn't just prove you wrong.

I'm not going to hold your hand again and explain why what he says implies a change in the rate of passage of time on earth, you can read through his posts and determine that yourself. Or maybe you won't, as you've shown absolutely no effort in discussing or understanding anyone's arguments in this thread. I'll be sure to avoid discussing anything with "erowe1" in the future, as you are fucking dismal

 

[erowe1]

Which I explained to you that he did in my previous posts, which you cleverly edited from my quote as if I didn't just prove you wrong.

You did not explain that he did that. You just asserted it and gave quotes from him that didn't support your claim.

What you did wasn't holding anybody's hand to explain something they failed to understand, it was just totally botching what others had said.

I mean, look at the twisted argument you have to make to keep this going:

By adding 6 days with 6000 years, you are equating 6 days of creation with 6 rotations of the earth.

Huh? How this claim makes any sense to you I can't conceive. No, adding what is billions of year's from the earth's vantage point (the days of creation, or 6 days from some other vantage point) to 6,000 more years from the earth's vantage point is not equating the days of creation with 6 rotations of the earth.

 

[Influenza]

If he thinks I unfairly characterized his statements, I'd love for him to make them a little more clear.
But if he continues adding 6 days with 6000 years, without making clear that those 6 days are billions of years on earth, he is equating the 6 days of creation with 6 rotations of the earth. If you can't see that, then you are very lost

Where on Earth would Ben get such an idea?

He never made clear that those 6 days are billions of years from the earth's vantage point. He never said that at all in this entire thread, yet used the video to support his posts.

I'm almost afraid to say anything because I don't want to confuse anybody further. But, yes, Dr. Schroeder is saying, each 24 hour day, back when the earth was very young, took around 1,000,000,000,000 of our days as we know them now. Of course in the Bible, a day is measured from one sunset to the next so we understand that we are talking about literal 24 hour days. It's just that the days lasted 1,000,000,000,000 times longer than the ones we have now, sunset to sunset.

I know it's confusing, because we are not used to thinking about time that way. As the universe spread out, the days became shorter until we have the length of day as we know them now. Knowing this, we can say, the earth is around six thousand years + 6 days old, the six extra days being before Adam came into the scene.

This accounts for why it seems like the earth is older than it really is. We are measuring time by the way we know it now instead of by the way it was back then.

Now I'm sure I've confused many folks by opening my mouth once again.

Well, no, not when the earth was very young. That 1 day then equals 1,000,000,000,000 days now ratio is from when time started, when matter first existed. Influenza seems preoccupied with criticizing you for not accurately summarizing the scientists 1 hour worth of video.

It's a forum. You posting the video was good enough, imo. Influenza thinks your commentary on it is substandard and I guess wants some sort of kudo for showing that you aren't putting into your own words clearly enough.

It's like you delivered a croissant to him to eat and he's berating you for pronouncing it wrong.

How dare he!

Let me know when you successfully pull off one of those back-flips with a twist that explains how we popped out of that mutant fish-monkey Dawkins thinks birthed humanity.

Well, if Joseph didn't build the pyramids, then who did? Aliens?

Taxpayers.

This, my friends, is a grain elevator. Also note the man-made water storage system for crop irrigation in the foreground.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

You'd be surprised how much grain you can fit inside it

Just because he built "Trump Plaza", Trump seems to think he is qualified to challenge personal theory of world reknowned brain surgeon & George W Bush Freedom Medal Winner Dr. Ben Carson MD CEO:

As RG's above post points out, Dr Carson probably just mixed up Egyptian Pyramids with Food Pyramid...happens all the time.

Thread winner!
