Talk:Counterexamples to an Old Earth (view source)
Revision as of 01:04, August 27, 2011
, 01:04, August 27, 2011→Groundwater and entropy: new section
Aschlafly, on the counterexamples to relativity page you made the argument that the speed of light was not constant based on [http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6092-speed-of-light-may-have-changed-recently.html this study], which argues that the speed of light might have been different 2 billion years ago. How does this reconcile with an young universe? [[User:BrentH|BrentH]] 20:59, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

== Groundwater and entropy ==
How does groundwater relate to entropy? Entropy is energy unavailable for work, and it only necessarily has to stay constant or increase in a closed system. Groundwater is not a closed system.
I realise that I'm treading on thin ice at the moment because of my recent block, and it seems that there is a strong prejudice against removing counterexamples from any of these articles, but it is my strongly and sincerely held belief that by going for quantity rather than quality we are harming the credibility of CP as a source of information. The intro to this article says that the Old Earth hypothesis can't survive one counterexample - and I fully agree with that - so why do we need 35-odd counterexamples, at least half of which are completely fatuous? The Bible explains the water cycle, and by claiming that (a mistaken understanding of) entropy says that groundwater can't survive we contradict both Scripture and a pile of scientific evidence so high that you could use it to build a good-sized waterfall. --[[User:SamCoulter|SamCoulter]] 21:04, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
