Then you are a liar. You just locked yourself in another paradox.

How do you know? Were you there?

There is nothing outside the Universe. A Universe that isn't universal is not the Universe.
Is that you, Ken Ham?

This old argument again??? Sheesh.
Detectives use science, dude. They either attempt to build or destroy correlations between a crime and a person using theories of science. NONE of it is a proof.
Do you know what trials and juries are for, dude?
By your logic, since detectives weren't there at the time of murder, they cannot prove it.
The murder cases can be 10, 20 or 100 years old.
Since travertine is a chemical precipitate, I presume the fractionation of isotopes between solid phase, thermal fluid, and atmosphere ceased when the rock lithified, which was probably shortly (geologically speaking) shortly after the juveniles made the prints. That established the radiometric clock.
The researchers most likely used the same approach as the dating of archaic human footprints in Africa. The Laetoli footprints were made by two Australopithecus hominids walking on fresh wet volcanic ash. Once the ash lithified (which would have been shortly after the footprints were made) the isotope ratios were frozen in place, giving a radiometric date of 3.2 million years for the Laetoli footprints.
I am not interested in investing the time to read the technical paper the handprints researchers published with all the technical specs of the study , but if this is really bothering a bible thumper, I am sure the scientists would email anyone a print of their paper.
He's correct. Since Space-Time began with the Big Bang, the Cosmos is all there ever was, is or will be.
Was it Flatland that had two-dimensional creatures trying to comprehend a cone that was penetrating their plane? To them it began as a point then a circle that grew larger and large then suddenly disappeared when the cone passed through like the middle one below. They couldn't comprehend the three dimensional object passing through their flat world.
Similarly, we see everything in only three dimensions and can't comprehend fourth or greater ones. The "before" the Big Bang might just be a greater dimension.
What's it worth to you for me to prove it?
I agree that far too many DO believe in that unscientific idea, but most of us do not. I question that poll's conclusions. The ones who do not will be the ones who can compete against the rest of the world where superstition and myth isn't a part of technology and science. After all, the elite need support staff, eh?
I have always thought it remarkable that some people seem to be able to hold mystical unscientific ideas but still be able to perform well in college in scientific disciplines. Believe it or not, I have run across Evangelical christians who are theoretical physicists.

Exactly. The Flatlanders illustrate the point. How can we ever know?
This one is such an example.
I think the multiverse hypothesis is gaining steam, and I even read recently that there conceivably might be a way to test it if we ever develop instrumentation sensitive enough to detect miniscule perturbations in the cosmic microwave radiation background - it supposedly would imply other universes interacting with ours.
Personally I think that's cool as long as they keep it private and don't try to stop others from learning about science because of their god stuff.
It's the same with Muslims and any other religious people.
Are you saying they were biblical literalists and also physicists?
How did they explain it?

A good high school science project is making a tesseract out of straws.
Mind boggling for me to wrap my head around. LOL

This one is mindboggling to the Flatlanders, not to us.
Not exactly sure what the evangelical Christian physicists thought, but their particular brand of Protestantism encourages a literal reading of the bible.
I did run across a couple of geologists who actually gave credence to literall creationism and had serious doubts about evolution.
My theory is that for some reason they are perfectly capable of passing college level tests in physics, chemistry, earth sciences while still holding on to their personal opinion about biblical creation..

Exactly.
We live within a time bubble. Outside, if there is one, there is no time. It's eternal.
We experience time in one direction and moment by moment when all there is and all there ever will be already exists.
Not a physics guy, but I look at reality like a movie reel. It's all there even though we only see it one frame at a time.
