The universe does not exist according to what you see happen on a street on earth.
You didn't answer my question. If you see a car coming down the street is that a belief based conclusion?

Re: nature of time
Hello creation, If you do not ascribe to what General Relativity explains then you will simply hand waive away one of the most important experimentally verified scientific theories to date. Which seems to imply that you are simply being dogmatic or trolling and not really interested in Science.
Approximations can be useful and many times all we have.

No. But what has that got to do with stars?

Re: nature of time
GR is fine. The issue is whether it tells us what time is, and what time is in the far universe. Does it even apply in the far universe? Looking at some bent light does not mean GR had to have been responsible for the bending.
Since no distance to any star is known, no sizes are known, no mass...etc. That means whatever gravity is at work is also not clear. Etc...

Re: nature of time
Being unable to deny getting busted is not honesty. Patching up areas in a faulty model that are shown to be wrong is not self correcting. It is criminal cover up.

Re: Separate school and state and religion
Your wacky conspiracy theories aside, I addressed the issue of correlations. They all rest on the same belief. That belief is that a same set of laws and nature applied on earth since the start.

Who is that an issue for? How do you know what it tells us?

Well that's good, because GR is an explanation and a description, not a cause, or a force.

The distance to millions of stars is known.

Wrong again.

Wrong about everything again, etc.

You're going to have to up your game a whole bunch before you can claim to have busted anything.

Yours is a classic example of an uncorrected faulty model.
It is criminal cover up.

Did you not read the article ?

This is an example of someone who does not have the faintest idea of what they are talking about.
There are many folks on this board that have been patient with you and would teach you a great deal about science. If you are going to dismiss one of the most elegant and concise theories of how spacetime and gravity are related you will be hard pressed to ever find a theory that will explain it to you.
Read this article about GPS.

This is just one example of how science can know things and use it in real world applications.

Creationism has been busted. Didn't you get the memo? It's just dishonest to pretend that it has anything to offer.
creation writes:

Science corrects itself. Creationism has never succeeded in showing any flaws. All creationists ever show is that they don't understand the model.
If you think the model is flawed, pick a topic and discuss it in depth. You might learn something. So far, all you've done is parrot creationist rhetoric that has been refuted a thousand times.

And our geese will blot out the sun.

Re: nature of time
Creationism is the belief in God creating everything. You should not confuse some historical attempts at explaining how the evidences fit with a creation, with creation itself.
Men of science who believed also in creation tried to use the science they knew to explain it. They had the limit of having to work within the belief based paradigm of science.
Creation is too big for science regardless of whether men of science try to use it to know about the works of God.
My approach has been more one of looking at the real premises and fundamental core beliefs that are used in origin sciences.

Re: nature of time
GPS near earth has zero to do with time in deep space. Now, you must show us exactly how your article even relates to the issue.

Dark stuff is an invention, born out of a need to prop up the belief based models of science.
You might as well teach Jack in the Beanstalk in schools as science.

Right over your head.

Re: nature of time
No. The distance to NO star is known. Parallax is unable to give any far distances. Parallax assumes time and space exists the same and draws a line based on that belief that is supposed to represent distance.
