    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    The caesium frequency does not slow down for observers in the same reference frame as the atomic clocks. You are absurdly claiming that caesium frequencies change when we put them on airplanes, for no apparent reason. What mechanism would cause these frequencies to change? We use them to...

    I've Sacrificed my belief in Evolution for Religion

    There are still no set criteria for determining if two species belong to the same kind or not. That needs to be clarified before we can move forward. For example, whales and cows are the same kind of animal. They are both mammals. You should also be thinking of what type of fossil or genetic...

    I don't wonder why you disagree with me. You refuse to accept reality. You think making up words somehow changes reality.

    It is time itself that runs at a different speed as shown by every single experiment that has tested the idea. We can even see supernovae that move in slow motion for high red shift type Ia supernovae: https://arxiv.org/pdf/0804.3595.pdf

    Epigenetic Inheritance in Humans

    How does this apply to biology? How is magical poofing a better explanation? When has that ever been a better explanation? What are the odds of God tripping the security systems? According to you, magical poofing is the better explanation. You can randomly change DNA and produce a...

    I understand it just fine. It is time dilation. Time dilation - Wikipedia Length contraction is due to relativity.

    This is proven physics.

    There is no time or distance at the speed of light.

    1 mile according to whom? Observers with different relative velocities will measure different distances between any two points. The higher your velocity the more length contraction there is. At the speed of light, length contraction becomes infinite and there are no distances.

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    How are these not science? If I say that smokers get lung cancer at a statistically significant higher frequency than non-smokers, then that is support for the hypothesis that smoking causes lung cancer. That's science. Have you heard of the WMAP and COBE satellites that measured the CMB...

    If a spaceship travelling at 0.86 c flew over the north pole of the Sun and shot a laser beam at the Earth, that laser would hit the Earth 4 minutes later as measured on the ship. The clocks on a stationary ship sitting above the north pole of the Sun would measure that same laser light taking...

    The truth is that differences in velocity change lengths and change the passage of time. The accuracy of this truth has been confirmed in many experiments.

    Why Evolution and Christianity are Fundamentally Irreconcilable

    Modern physics has only further explained the cause of random genetic changes, and it fits in just fine with Darwin's original conception of variation. "Specified information" is a meaningless term in genetics. What units is it measured in? How do you measure it? If I were to give you a DNA...

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    A discussion on that topic would call for its own thread and pages of material. ;)

    They will measure the speed of light coming from the Sun to be 1 c, no matter how fast they are travelling with respect to the Sun. If they are travelling towards the Sun at 0.5 c they will still measure the speed of light to be 1 c. If they are travelling away from the Sun at 0.5 c they will...

    That depends on how fast you are going when you make those measurements. If you are stationary with respect to the Sun then you will measure the distance between the Sun and the Earth to be ~1 AU (Earth doesn't have a perfectly circular orbit). If you are travelling 0.86 c as you fly over the...

    Sorry, I missed this part in my previous reply. The people on the spaceship will not see light going by them at 0.5 c. The measured speed of that light will be 1 c on the spaceship. The speed of light is the same for all frames of reference. So how can this be? It is because high relative...

    But how fast is the light from the Sun going as measured on the spaceship that is speeding away from the Sun at 0.5 c?
