Solar System Assembly Line

Trimmed the "comp.*" newgroups as this is not topical to any of them.

Greetings all,

I have devoted much time to this theory, and it holds up in every
regard. I have discussed it with people, shown my videos to others,
devout Christians, scientists, and nobody can debunk it with anything
that's not related to some other theory which contradicts it.


That's how the process works, Rick. If you're going to propose an
explanation for why the solar system looks the way it does today,
that explanation has to do three things:

- Incorporate current observations;

- Explain current observations in a way that's better than
existing theories;

- Predict new observations that can be tested somehow;

What evidence did you have *for* your conveyor system? What
observations of the outer planets suggested to you that they are
building new Earths inside of them? What arrangement of planets
and asteroids suggested to you that Earth-sized bodies have moved
orbits over time?

What primary materials did you study to reach this conclusion? I mean
the boring "this is what we measured" kind of stuff, like

Seiff et al. (1996) "Structure of the Atmosphere of Jupiter:
Galileo Probe Measurements", Science, Vol. 272, Issue 5263,
pp. 844-845

Jacobsen et al. (2009) "Cassini Langmuir probe measurements in
the inner magnetosphere of Saturn", Planetary and Space Science,
Vol. 57, Issue 1, pp 48-52

That's just two random papers grabbed off of Google Scholar, but
that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about - observations,
measurements, data. That's the kind of stuff you need to base
your theory on.

Why did your theory better explain the arrangement and composition of
objects in the solar system than any existing theory? Again, what
observations can you point to that suggested your theory works better?

I announce today that I am rejecting this theory for one reason: The
theory states that a Savior is given to each cycle of Earth, and that
the people who lived during that 7,000 year cycle would be saved by
that Savior and not the one all-time Savior that the Bible teaches
exists. It is enough to discount the entire theory.

I believe in Jesus Christ.

I believe He is man's only and all-time Savior and what is happening to
us on this Earth in this existence is unique and special in His
universe.

I reject the Solar System Assembly Line theory on that basis.


In which case it was never a theory at all.

I don't want to criticize you for having faith in Jesus, but you're
allowing that faith to lead you down some pretty dark alleys. You
can't pretend the physical world doesn't exist, or doesn't play
by well-understood rules, just because it conflicts with aspects
of your faith.

The Bible is not, and was never meant to be, a treatise on natural
history.
