Im familiar with talkorigins and I like your style, theres some good information and as far as I can tell un-bias. I may start a age of earth thread and pick at what this link has to say. There is just so many replies I have to make now on only 2 threads. Yeah but remember the mod asked me my beliefs, i haven't talked about God since.

I disagee, as long as a 'piece' of our universe exists (matter or space) it can be dated back with time. In other words even if was trillions of years ago and it was only black space it still existed, and can technically be dated back. What are the properties to a non-composite particle? For example carbon-14 dating is based assumptions: 1.Rate of decay stays constant 2. The sample has undergone NO contamination 3. Carbon 14 and Carbon 12 ratio has been constant

Non-composite particles is wording I haven't yet come across but the image has been hovering around my thoughts. Imagining the "area" surrounding this particle is impossible I think. Perhaps you have the words that would best describe such a space-less state. If this single particle is the only thing in existance what could possibly cause that one particle to begin to multiply? Your best guess? Is this one particle of space eternal or did it have a begining? As long as there is space it can be measured with time, so if it is eternal time is eternal. All the dating methods I have researched are based off gross assumptions.

Getting on that train of thought, do you think if you got in a space ship and travelled in one direction would space have to always exist for you? I think you are suggesting that space is only a result of matter. The same is true vice versa though. Space must exist for matter to exist. I think its like asking which came first the chicken or the egg? Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged The mod warned me not to talk about religion all I can tell you is I believe it because the bible says so, and I believe the bible because of personal encounters with the supernatural. I think it happened less than 7 thousand years ago.

If modern macro-evolution ideas are correct why arent there millions of intermideate stages discovered for every creature in existance?

I think God spoke it into existance. I appreciate all serious responses I get on a thread.

How did space come into existance?
