Quote by: Milton Bradley  You assume that all observable matter in the universe took it's current form at the same time. Galaxies are born, die, and are reborn again in a cyclical nature.
The Moon is currntly being scrunched by the earths gravity, and that causes internal friction as the material is jostled around.
Again you assume that our Solar System is exactly the same age as the Universe.
While the matter that constitutes the Solar System is likely that old, this incarnation of the material is was likely created a much shorter time ago as the older stars in the same group died, and exploded causing shock waves that generate the next generations of star formation.
The Sun is not the same age as the universe.
I don't think one broad definition can encompass every imaginabe scenario in which coal might be formed.
Obviously bugs can not, or do not eat every bit of biomatter that the earth produces, or there would be no fertilizer, or coal, or oil, or diamonds, or any of the forms of decayed carbon with which you are familiar.
I doubt once the magnetic field reverses that it just dies. It probably just has a cyclical nature because of the natural decay in the system.
Remember, it's likely that the magnetic field will eventually die as the fluid core of the earth slowly becomes smaller as the earth cools. Eventually, the earth might even lose it's magnetic field entirely. |
You forget my previous post in which I asked, "Do we agree that the earth and the rest of the universe came into existence at the same time?" to which someone replied "I'm willing to pretend so to hear a non-biblical argument."
And, if they didn't come into existence at the same time, why not? What caused the earth just to pop up into our galaxy? Is it just chance that it is the perfect distance from the sun? Or that it happens to orbit? The fact that it is round? The notion of gravity?
And yes, I agree about what you say about the magnetic field, and this rate it will likely diminish by the year 3391.
