I Know Something That You Haven't Discovered*
I had [sic] discovered
What I had [sic] discovered was [sic]
mathematical units that creates [sic]
what I had discovered is [sic]
As an author who has yet to master verb agreement, how came you to master the mind of God? Arrogant much? (That last of course is rhetorical. I can see that you do.)
Did you know that:
  • Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
    John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
  • Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
    John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
  • Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
    Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln.
  • Both Presidents were shot in the head.
  • Both Presidents died on a Friday.
Did you know that if one is allowed to pick and choose which bits of data to apply/report one can pretty much make an argument for anything?
Did you know that when gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill the report was not proceeded by "To get [sic] a better idea of what I am talking about, firstly let me explain more about specific density of materials that appear in all of the natural world."?
Did you know that in trying to understand our world and everything that happens within and below we must first examine those data most immediately at hand and not assume the biggest most foundational source which, may or may not be our Universe if that phrase has any meaning at all, which is doubtful?
Did you know that
a bet (ב) made of brazing rod wrapped in bendable, machinist's wire
has properties remarkably similar those of a Fisher-Price Little People®
wrapped in bendable, machinist's wire?
*This is not just a cheap shot at your English grammar; there is also style and composition: economy, precision, rhythm, voice, vocabulary, conformity But I needn't go on.

AbE: Thought "barashith" was the name of the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Looked it up and found it was actually the first word in the bible, so I came back to correct my error and change "barashith" to "Bet".
AbE2: Yes, I did eventually notice I made an ח (Het) rather than a ב (Bet), but I left it be because I don't really care that much about the quality of the evidence in this argument.

Re: I Know Something That You Haven't Discovered*
Um, you do know I meant that as a compliment, don't you?
I had assumed so at the time but it would be disingenuous of me not to report that as I was out mowing the lawn just now it had occurred to me that I might have been a bit naive. Therefore, I just popped off an e-mail to the director of Hawaii's State Department of Health, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, to see if she could vouch for me. I'll let you know.
Can everyone see this black writing? I put this in to add things that I don't want to be intrusive. Like things that ruin jokes. I can see it plainly if I try, but might miss it if I didn't know it was there. Let me know is I should start using a bit more contrast, say teal. Thanks.
It was such a toss-up between "Like things that ruin jokes." and "Things like sincerity."; but sincerity got the better of me so I went for jokes. How's that for irony?

But the Point Is: You Can Force Us Into Line
Welcome to EvC, Anita Meyer.
You people can think what you want
The people who are allowed to think what they want haven't chimed in yet. Those who have are constrained in their thinking by facts and such. Your arguments so far have been designed to entice the gullible and deflect the criticism. You need to wield a spud bar for us skeptics and answer the criticism. So far you've introduced nothing to force us into line.
That "[N]o credible linguistic scholar can say with any confidence just were language or writing originated from."* does not imply a default position of X.
If you are familiar with the biblical books of Enoch and Jubilees... both books mention that Enoch was the first "scribe" in history.
If you are familiar with the book of Ayn Rand, it mentions a motor that gets its motive force from atmospheric static electricity. Guess what. Ain't true. (This is one of those arguments that only work if you're addressing believers; i.e., those people who are allowed to think whatever they want.)
In my book I illustratively show how each and every one of the Hebrew letters are formed from one prototype form, which in turn are formed from natures law.
Book schmook, I've got video. Everyone in Hollywood is formed from Angelina Jolie.
*I'd not know if this is true one way or the other, but my money is on you're wrong.



P.S. Stop selling your book and start selling your argument.

Π
Remembering just what it is that makes Pi unique is that it can't be described in a fraction it is irrational.
unique: |yoō'nēk| adj. unlike anything else; one of a kind.
irrational |i'ra sh ənl| adj. (Mathematics) not expressible as a ratio of two integers, and having an infinite and nonrecurring expansion when expressed as a decimal.
√2

Having Presented Evidence of Dumbing Down
Now if this is the case that Adam and eve showed age, well then how about the age of the stars and the universe since G-d created these too around the same timeline as Adam and Eve came into existence given a few days in-between (according to the Bible) and as we know from science today (which much hot debate) about its actual age, the stars and the Universe also appear to show age.
So, your god is a liar, is he? I could understand a god who made an O2 enriched atmosphere right-off-the-bat instead of an O2 depleted one that would take a hundred million years for the garden to ready for A&Es arrival. But why did it create each, separate radioactive isotope in the proportions that would imply a 4.5 billion year old Earth? There should be twice as much U238if the Earth were >10kyo. And there should be plenty of Np237 around , but there is none. Nor anything else with a half-life of less than 100 million years (unless it is being constantly replenished) .
By the way, that's what's called a refutation of your bologna. I knew you wouldn't recognize one without it being labeled as such, so I thought I'd help you out.
People have been dumbed-down and I am here to reeducate.
There should be a comma proceeding the "and" in that compound sentence, Ms. Author-my-eye Meyer. Educate that!
P.S. How do you explain √2 being irrational if π is unique in that regard? I'd really like to know; because we know it couldn't have been you being wrong. Right? I mean, that would have been somebody here making some sort of strong dent in one of your claims (Admittedly, not a substantial claim). Which, again, refutes the claim that no one has refuted a single one of your claims.
Please try to show a little integrity.

Don't You Like Me?
One of the most telling glitches is through radiocarbon dating of a variety of diamonds using highly sensitive C14 (Carbon 14) detectors in which it was discovered that there is ten times the detection limit of C14 in diamonds.
This is one of those statements that you could do more then blab about. Cite where you got this from and show us you're not pulling it out of your butt. How hard would that be?
Now, diamonds which are said to be billions of years old SHOULD NOT have any C14 in them do to the short half life of C14 (a half life is equal to roughly 5,700 years).
This is one of those statements that demonstrate the you don't really have a clue. As if you were in a Canadian sports bar and walked up to a group of guys wearing Maple Leaf jerseys and announced "Hockey players score points by hitting the puck into the goal." It's that you aren't right. It's that you think your point is worth making. By the way, your English still sucks: "equal to roughly"? What the heck is that?
Logically this tells us that the C14 found in the diamonds should have been [sic] all decayed by now.
And as you've been told, with citations, it was. How do you come to believe that you know what's going on in the lab than those in the lab? Are your wild guesses handed down from on high?
Furthermore, carbon 14 has also been found in coal that is also said to be billions of years old.
The oldest coal is from 390 million years ago in the Silurian Period.
The erosion features at Mount St. Helens are not unique, but are similar to those observed elsewhere. Other examples of rapid erosion are: Lituya Bay, Alaska created in 1958... The volcanic island Surtsey south of Iceland created in 1964... Lake Peigneur, Louisiana 1980... A rain storm in southern Brazil 1974... The Waiho River of New Zealand 1965... Providence Canyon State Park near Lumpkin, Georgia 1820... The Imperial Valley of California by the Colorado River from 1905 to 1907 (the Salton Sea).
Not impressive.
Lituya Bay, Alaska was not created in 1958. There was a tsunnami in 1958 caused by a landslide on one side of the existing bay that eroded the soils all around the bay.
Surtsey is an island not a canyon.
Lake Peigneur is the result of a man made sink hole, and consequently looks like a sink hole.
A rain storm in southern Brazil, 1974, is not an erosional feature.
And blah, blah, blah.
It should be noted that all of these (save for the rain clouds) are features in unconsolidated sediments. I find that if I take my hose pipe I can drill a hole in my lawn very quickly. Strangely, the same doesn't happen in the driveway. You'd have done better had you'd chosen erosional features that were rapidly crated in consolidated materials. There are several excellent examples that I'll not look up for you, but those wouldn't help you either. High speed erosion in solid rock occurs through plucking. Plucking is easily distinguished from the slow, abrasive erosion as seen in the 99&44/100% of the world's rock canyons.
Don’t go giving me this bull that there is different geologic processes at work here between a canyon being produced by subsidence (the sinking down of land level) and its different properties from a canyon produced by water erosion over level ground.
Why would we do that? It would be totally irrelevant. Oh! You don't know that, do you?
We do not even know today how the Grand Canyon was formed - all postulations remains only in theory.
We don't know that We don't know that We don't know that Girl, get over yourself. You not knowing something is not equivalent to "we" not knowing something. To me how babies are made is only a "theory". And look up the word "theory" already.
Additionally, they have takenblah, blah wrong with our starting assumptions.
This has been answered. You didn't understand the answer, did you? The gist was that it is well know that select methods produce these select errors in select materials so we don't date select materials with select methods. We instead use methods that don't produce errors. Kind of like not using microwave ovens to dry kittens. It produces errors, so we use towels instead.
Edited by lyx2no, : Non-substantial.
Edited by lyx2no, : Non-substantive. Yeah, better word.

Wrong Again
What a laugh! This could be any fossilized microscopic worm even parasite that existed/exists on the earth.
Check the scale on those microscopic worms of yours. You'll find "The structures found on ALH 84001 are 20-100 nanometres in diameter, similar in size to the theoretical nanobacteria, but smaller than any known cellular life at the time of their discovery." They couldn't have been Earth parasites. But You didn't know that, did you?
