Derek Smith,

“Since when is the Earth NOT 4.5 billion years old?”

When empiricism rules.

SJT,

The Earth is 4,500Ma old? OK, prove it.

Um…..have I been in a coma or something? Since when is the Earth NOT 4.5 billion years old?

I could not possibly have opened my mouth here – I wrote a comment – the rest of your comments are ad homs, like Luke’s. Actually if both of you believe the earth is 4,500 Ma, then you are both creationists.

It is 4.5 billion yeas Louis. I can get more sense from talking to my dog.

Velikovsky is a physical fact – he was a living human being. Are you implying he was a fiction?

Pierrehjumbert is wrong because there is no plausible physical mechanism for plate tectonics – ie mantle convection. The best example for a subduction zone is the Indonesian Arc but as Choi shows from seismic tomography, the subduction zone is not there.

And deducing geological evolution from Lyell’s shifting of biblical creation from its Ussherian date to some earlier one, remains a fiction deduced from a fiction. Prove the Earth is 4,500 Ma years old.

There, I just refuted him on first principles.

Now go into a paroxsym of apoplexy.

And I also read one post above confirming, again, you expertertise in the non sequitur – splendid Seagull, you excel yourself, again!

His physics falls simply on the assumption of plate tectonics and an Earth date of 4,500 Ma – both are fictions.

Every time you open your mouth, you come up with something even more amazing than the last time. Does the history of the earth involve someone called Xenu?

SJT,
You, too, must be trapped in modernity, with irreducible epistemological limits surrounding the nexus of ecological, cultural, and gender studies ( I have just been invited to attend a conference in Delhi along these lines. Sadly, I cannot attend, due to failure of my stipend from Big Oil.)

But didn’t Mr. A. Einstein have a few whacky ideas? And how about Mr. I. Newton?

Ahhh, you must be referring to his knowledge of physical facts instead of farcical, disproven hypothesis!!

Velikovsky as ‘physical fact’. That’s a new one. Louis believes some of the wackiest ideas you will come across.

Good grief Dribble,
Do you mean to say that you don’t grasp the infinite complexities of deconstructed multidimensional postmodernist intellectual processes? You must be one of those eminent but elderly scientists who are trapped in the outdated modernist view of the contemporary simulatory intellectual greenhouse landscape, not to mention substantial fiscal stipends from the oil, tobacco, and armaments capitalist industrial enterprises. You simply fail to grasp that young bloods, such as me and Luke, are light years ahead of your cognitive ratiocinations on the unquantifiable, irreducible epistemological limits related to inductive reasoning and to the nature of model-based global science. We can’t help it if our testosterone breaks into a canter now and again, can we Luke?
