but anyway all this dating crap is moot?
why? because the speed of light is not a constant chaps. Using light to date the universe is a mistake. Did you notice the universe's age going up steadily over the last fifty years - it's a good guessing game, based on light being a constant. |

I'd love a c/p link to see the proof that the Speed of Light is not constant. Astronomy is a specialty of mine.

gee they admit light might not be a constant - after another fifty years they'll own up and say they know nothing? it only took 100 years to accept that oxygen existed. some wanted to hold onto phlogiston as it was their bread and butter. Measurements over the centuries of light speed has shown a decrease in average speed. even when accounting for inaccuracy the speed has always been decreasing in the inaccuracy. |

Nobel Prize on it's way...
Oh wait, Michelson/ Moorly experiment? If you are correct, has it decreased much in 6000 years to make a difference? What age is the Earth Zorro? No copy and pastes, just your own beliefs. |

As an astronomer how do you reconsile the angular momentum of the solar system to the bodies within our solar system. The sun having 99.86 percent of the mass and only 1.9 percent of the angular momentum. The other planets having 98.1 percent.
that some planets within the solar system have moons rotating in the opposite direction of every other planet in our system. That the outer planets are larger than the inner planets? That some planets have the same spin axis' earth and mars at 23.5 degrees? no viable theory for the solar system's origin? mathematically. |

The Canadian mathematician, Alan Montgomery, has reported a computer analysis supporting the Setterfield/Norman results. His model indicates that the decay of velocity of light closely follows a cosecant-squared curve, and has been asymptotic since 1958. If he is correct, the speed of light was 10-30% faster in the time of Christ; twice as fast in the days of Solomon; four times as fast in the days of Abraham, and perhaps more than 10 million times faster prior to 3000 B.C.

2nd point first as it's bull.
Don't you think this would be measurable? Sat Nav depends on the speed of light to be constant, don't you think that a measurable difference over the years would matter? You'll get a Nobel for your answer. 1st point. We know next to nothing on how Solar Systems develop. It's 20 years since we found the first Solar System beyond our Earth but the great thing is we're nothing special. We've discovered the big planets next to stars first because they are the easiest to discover. We're 20 years into discovering Solar Systems, ask me this question in 20 years time and I may have an answer. We can question science but you don't seem to question your book. |

between 1928 and 1945 the speed of light dropped by 20km per sec.
patent office library London. all over the world. not just one point, many measurements. intellectual phase locking was blamed. they fixed the speed of light by definition and everything is measured against the speed of light being a constant. all the constants are being re-examined. Metrology is in flux. |

Is it normal for Jupiter to stay in RETROGRADE motion as seen from our viewpoint for ten months at a time. Staying within Virgo? Nov 17th 2016 to September 23rd 2017. you is the asstronomer royal you should know? use yer spy glass.. |

By:
You bulled this before:
Jupiter is in retrograde for 3 months. |
|
By:
not a very good asstromo are you. You can download an astronomy program.
I'd imagine you already have one, if your hobby is serious. look it up cheeko. |

do you just believe the beardie guy with the bald head and the druid costume in the closet or do you believe National Geographic magazine which has been going like forever?

Do you know what retrograde is?
Has it any significance? |

Why do Christians always think they are the special Christians who are living in the end times , unlike all the Christians from centuries before who were wrong about that...

the christians know when the end times are because it lays it out in the book of Daniel and Revelation.
Sir Isaac Newton wrote a million words discourse on those two books of the bible. now available online. Sir Isaac Newton said in his writings - IT IS THE DUTY of every christian to investigate these books because the Jews were blind to the nature of Jesus' coming even though Daniel, Isaiah and all the other prophets pointed to his coming. That their behaviour put a curse of blindness upon them because they did not have the faith to accept him as the Messiah. So the dogs(gentiles) got the blessing instead of them. Jonathan Edwards(founder of Princeton, evangelist) in 1739 gave a sermon indicating the tribulation starting in September 2016. He worked this out by calculating the jubilee years. One indicator is that only a single generation from the time of Israel's foundation would indicate the return of Christ. It's 70 years - this year in 2017. the jewish religious year starts in September 2016, the feast of Trumpets. It ends in September 21st 2017. from the declaration going forth... "The majority report of UNSCOP proposed "an independent Arab State, an independent Jewish State, and the City of Jerusalem" ..., the last to be under "an International Trusteeship System".On 29 November 1947, in Resolution 181 (II), the General Assembly adopted the majority report of UNSCOP, but with slight modifications. The Plan also called for the British to allow "substantial" Jewish migration by 1 February 1948." wiki |

Jupiter is staying in Virgo from Nov 17 to Sept 23rd - ten months - the longest gestation period for a child in the womb. Jupiter is called the king planet.
The revelation 12 sign is in play above, in the skies right now. The moon will be at her feet. The sun will clothe her. She'll have twelve stars round her head. All this happens in September. When Jupiter entered in Nov I7th - the edge hitting the perimeter of the womb area - there was a celestial sign. A supermoon last seen in 1948. In June of 2016 a strawberry moon made an appearance, last seen in 1967 and 1948. Nice years for Israel. blooddy coincidence - eh? Jupiter leaves Virgo when? Sept 23rd - the feast of trumpets - the end of the year 5777 and the beginning of 5778. The end of GRACE. grace is completed. 5 means grace 7 means completion. - triple completion. 8 means a new beginning. this star sign was last seem six thousand years ago - using computer astronomy programs you can back track the stars using mathematical modelling. what side of the fence do you sad sacks want to be on... the one with God or the one with Satan. You can call good evil all you want. But bad is bad. Satan isn't interested in giving you good ipod tune playlists. He's not your friend he's man's adversary. Lucifer is on the FOX chanel - try and catch the propaganda. he's a misunderstood Daddy's boy who is helping mankind by solving Crime in LA la land. they ridicule the bible in every way possible to catch the little fishies with the lies. Dark matter and dark energy make up 96 percent of the universe? are you buying that? Black holes and massive amounts of gravity is needed? All matter is accounted for in the electro magnetic universe theory. There is no missing matter. they are keeping you in the 'DARK'. |

Because they think they are the special ones. They have the found the key, just say the magic formula, don't walk on cracks in the pavement, Yabbadabbadoo, Salvation, eternal life. Pity the snarky sad sacks who won't believe their book of fairy tales to be the truth, try and save them from the fiery pit. Some might see this as arrogant, deluded, they see it as humility. Strange. |

the truth exists - somewhere. Not all alternatives can be true.
either science is right? and you are all animals. either Christ is God. either the myriad amount of superhero Gods are real? or something else, truth exists. we'll find out soon. because the bible says one generation in israel, and plop it's over. we can tick off one dud theory or you are in the manure because you chose badly like the guy at the end of indiana jones 3. |
