Exactly! That's algebra disguised as arithmetic.
And, that cube root relationship stuff to get the sun's diameter stuff sure looks like algebra. Maybe even Algebra II. And then you used trig (in a sentence at least)!!!!
If gravitational collapse is involved, then the mass lost through fusion will be less.
I would think that the mass loss would be the same regardless of how the energy was produced. But perhaps without fusion, the original size of the sun might have been a problem by being greater than the size of earth's orbit.
Now I've presented Hovind's repeating of Walter Brown's old "leap seconds" claim. Let's see whether he bites and if he's started to learn.
I wouldn't bother with claims that he does not suggest himself. In fact his comments regarding the Goldilock's zone don't read like something a die-hard creationist would post.
His leap second response seems quite reasonable.

Re: Shrinking sun, dust moon
It appears that he is going on a massive "copy and paste crusade".
No longer making his own arguments; he is just pasting articles found on the web.
Put a line of his reply into google before wasting time replying to something he didn't write and possibly doesn't understand.

Re: Shrinking sun, dust moon
I think you might be better off illustrating big number points using the big numbers. It's very easy for someone not familiar with scientific notation to miss the huge difference between 7.889608E+23 tons and 1.9891E+27. But if you write the numbers out, one on top of the other:
1,989,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
- 788,960,000,000,000,000,000,000
1,989,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
it's much easier to see that the lost mass is irrelevant to the total amount of mass.
I tend to also doubt his claimed age of 20, but if that is accurate, it's still evident from his writing that he's not real bright. In that circumstance, KISS.

Re: Shrinking sun, dust moon

Actually, I did work out that problem the first time around. But then I tried to use the browser's find (new IE9) to change one word (angular size vice angular displacement) and it shot me to Google, dumping my entire post. So, by not having followed my own advice, I got to write it a second time.
But, hey, he got extremely pissy at me for trying to go easy on him, so if he says he can handle the math, let him eat trig!
I would think that the mass loss would be the same regardless of how the energy was produced.
No, it would be a problem. Gravitational collapse would heat up the sun's core via the Kelvin—Helmholtz mechanism, which was proposed in the 19th century as a mechanism for the burning of the sun. If that were happening, then some of the energy emanating from the sun would be from gravitational collapse; ie, only some of the energy would be from thermonuclear fusion.
Our mass-loss figure is calculated with E=mc2. First we measure the total energy output of the sun per second, and then we plug that value in for E and solve for m. If less than the total energy output is due to fusion, then less mass is being lost.

Only those weren't written by him. He's out there plagarizing the shit out the Internet.
And he quite obviously doesn't understand what he's stealing and pasting. In the human-population-growth topic (under Origins), we had to keep pressing him for the model that his charts were based on, so he stole an entire article and pasted it as his own words. It's an article from the NCSE's old Creation Evolution Journal doing a follow-up on David Milne's classic "Bunny Blunder" article. It's decidedly highly critical of the creationist claim and this guy is posting it to defend the claim. Hoisted on his own petard! Gotta love poetic justice.

Regardless of his claims, I'm still convinced he's a teenager. Probably 15 at most.

QED
I'm pretty sure this is false according to relativity, and that the energy released by gravitational collapse does contribute mass when in it's potential form, and so mass would still be lost in equal amount if the same quantity of energy is emitted via gravity collapse or nuclear fusion.
But this is only by intuition, I may be wrong so input by Cavediver or anyone else would be appreciated.

He says he's not a creationist. Maybe he's just trying to generate some traffic.

Re: Shrinking sun, dust moon
Coyote, here is what you need to do. Your assigned temporary space is full. When this happens, you will experience symptoms like what you have been experiencing. You need to go into tools, empty out your temporary files, and give yourself more space for temporary memory.
Other symptoms of this happening is your flash videos not working correctly, your internet explorer taking forever to load anything, etc. Weird things happen when your temporary space is full. People have come to me over the years to ask about the weird behavior of their explorer. My advice of clearing out temporary files and assign more space works 99% of the time when weird things happen with internet explorer.
