Question about "Answers In Genesis", Nathaniel Jeanson, Mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosome based genetic research

Maybe @Daniel DeLuca could just apologize and we would be done with this unnecessary flexing.
 
@Daniel DeLuca

I think I've made clear that I do have at least a passing understanding of quantum physics. Moving on...

Yeah well, Setterfield has much more than a passing understanding of quantum physics. He goes pretty deep. I picked out this video, because of what I learned from Setterfield regarding the Casimir effect, and I was curious as to whether anyone else had considered the possibility that the Casimir effect could be the explanation for the strong force, as I know Setterfield and many others have concluded that it has an effect on gravity and the speed of light. The bottm line is that if light travelled faster in the past, Dr. Ross's arguments and what he believes to be conclusive evidence of billions of years, falls flat. Light form 13 billion light years away can reach our planet in less than 13 billions years, if the amount of virtual particles was less, prior to the time when God stretched out the universe. We read seven times in the Old Testament that God stretched out the heavens. Even Dr Ross agrees that God did so.

This is the post I responded to. The fact is that Australian Aborigines would not have a common ancestor with Europeans from just 4500 years ago. And they don't.

The Bible and Scripture do not explicitly state the age of the Earth anywhere and the people who read all sorts of things into the Bible that aren't there are welcome to their beliefs.

Myself, I don't feel obligated to constrain myself to the exact same set of beliefs that were held as accepted knowledge by Moses or any of his contemporaries or any of the other people mentioned in Scripture.

For instance:

  • I do not believe the world is flat.
  • I do not believe the sun revolves around the Earth every 24 hours.
  • I do not believe the stars are windows in the firmament (solid sky) above the Earth.
  • I do not believe in sea monsters.
  • I do not believe that men cannot fly.
  • I do not believe that God created the moon to be a perfect and unblemished sphere.
  • I do not believe that the moon is itself a source of light.
  • I do not believe that there are only four elements being earth, wind, fire, and water and that everything else is composed of these four elements.
  • I do not believe that illness is a punishment from God for our sins.
  • I do not believe that illnesses can be treated by bleeding someone to remove their ill humors.
  • I do not believe that medicine is an expression of witchcraft that defies the Will of God.
  • I do not believe that the known world is confined only the to understanding of peoples living in the Mediterranean prior to 1492 and I do not believe it is a heresy to acknowledge that the Pope was never informed of the existence of the Americas prior to 1492.
  • I do not believe it is an affront to God to set foot on the moon.
  • I do not believe that the brain is just an organ that makes snot.
  • I do not believe that blood does not circulate in the body.

But I do believe that the Ten Commandments are the literal Word of God written in stone by God Himself. I also believe in what Jesus said according to the testimonies of the people who knew Him and heard Him speak.

There's no end to the things that all of us accept as common knowledge that the people of the Bible would have considered heretical.

And none of these things matter to the core truths of Scripture that prove themselves true every single day.

Referring back to your Jan 2023 post where you said you did not believe the world is flat??? Come now - the scientists proved it was flat back in the 1500's while the Bible always talked about the earth being a sphere. I can't BELIEVE you don't think the earth is flat. Ohhhhh noooooo! What has become of you MeganC?
