Rigorous Terminology

It has been said that we can be very confident of distances claimed in Astronomy for objects, such as stars in the Andromeda Galaxy, from Earth.  One such claim phrased the assertion thusly - “Cepheid variables provide absolute luminosity measures that allow distances to be gauged” - Mr. Rulon James Downard [1], 18 Jun 2018 - https://twitter.com/RJDownard/status/1008798756114817024 
At face value that statement seems both pretty strong, self-assured even, and rather cut-N’-dried.  But is it?  Is the explanation for how firmly reliable the claimed distance(s) are, truly that sound?  Well, let’s first look at a few other assertions made by “happy” G-d-haters (a.k.a. atheists) on this very subject:

Cepheid variable - A star that pulsates radially, varying in both diameter and temperature, producing changes in brightness - [2]

“Spectroscopes tell a lot about the size, based on temperature & composition” - https://twitter.com/RJDownard/status/1008834281894899713    

“The dimmer a particular class [of star] is, [or the smaller the] size [a] star is, the farther it is away” - https://twitter.com/RJDownard/status/1008834281894899713
Of course another Tweeter, Ms. Rosa Rubicondior [3], says “No. Not all objects are equally bright.” - https://twitter.com/RosaRubicon/status/1008835313471541253 
Ergo, we have two members of the #GHADE who cant seem to agree on whether:

“Distance increases, or decreases, as brightness and size likewise increase or decrease” or “No. Not all objects are equally bright.”

Now, let’s break this all down to see how wholly circular the reasoning, and methodology even, is in asserting many (admittedly, NOT all) Astronomical values for distances claimed, really is.  


We have the assertion that - “Cepheid variables provide absolute* luminosity* measures* that allow distances* to be gauged*.”  

And we have the statement that - “Spectroscopes (one could reasonably insert the word(s) ‘Spectroscopy’ or ‘Spectroscopic Analysis’) tell a lot* about the size*, based on temperature* & composition*.
  And we also have the conflicting claims whether “Distances increase, or decrease, as brightness* and size* likewise increase or decrease.” or if distances and size have limited bearing on brightness*, because… well because you know… “… Not all objects are equally bright.”


Note the subjectiveness, and not only inter-relational, but also of substantial inter-dependence, between many of the asterisked words above. One at a time, consider:

 * absolute - the word “absolute” is hardly subjective in nature, however its use in this context bears mentioning because there’s just nothing about the values for distance(s) claimed that is “absolute” - consider total, utter or unqualified
 * a lot - the phrase “a lot” is unquestionably, an exceedingly subjective statement - a whole heap, very much and a great deal
 * gauged - the word “gauged” is likewise, a very subjective term - evaluated, judged or assessed

a)      luminosity - glow, brilliance & radiance
b)      distances - interval, space & extent
c)      size - scope, magnitude & dimensions
d)      age - phase, stage of development & time of life
e)      temperature - melting-point, freezing-point & physical property
f)       composition - configuration, structure & ingredients
g)      brightness - illumination, intensity & brilliance

 * measures - What, exactly, is being measured, evaluated, judged, “gauged” or assessed here?  Luminosity, Distances, Size, Age, Temperature, Composition or Brightness?  And, upon what basis are each of these values being evaluated, judged or even “gauged” on?  I submit to you that each and every point, “a” through “g” above, requires, and relies (re-lies) on, values in at least one (if not on two or more of the other five) values, to be meaningful.

In addition to the inter-relational and inter-dependence of each point above, where each of the above seven points also have their value(s) having a direct impact on the other value(s), we also have the great, great, great, great, great, great, granddaddy of all things #DarwinianEvo - #Uniformitarianism.  Under #Unifomitarianistic Dogma, effectively that - “Changes in, or rather “changes” throughout, history have been the result of, or resulted from, the action of continuous and uniform processes”.  The #Uniformitarianism’s Dogma is completely, and utterly destroyed by such things #ToEMacro’s #PunctuatedEqualibrium; the #BBT’s #Singularity;

But, instead of conceding these contradictory points, #DarwinianEvo’s #Uniformitarianism; the #ToEMacro’s #PunctuatedEqualibrium; the #BBT’s #Singularity, etc., the #GHADE just make vitriolic excuses. Also instead of conceding these contradictory points, and from there, at least admitting that an Intelligent, Creative, Purposeful and Loving G-d, at least, MIGHT be behind the formation of LIFE, the #GHADE will damned near do, or say, anything to #ATEND G-d (Christ).

Consider a couple of parting points / queries, before this Blog on the critically important value of the precise use of - “Rigorous Terminology” - (said with my most passionate application of “Queen’s English”, through full PLUMB):

“One is provided with a Luminosity Value derived from Spectroscopic analysis of a given "bright-spot" in the sky.  As dim, or bright, as it may be, absent other inputs: size, composition, age or temperature, can one definitively identify the bright-spot's distance?” - https://twitter.com/DaBauz/status/1009458478673321985  

“What is (are) the MINIMUM number of Inputs, in addition to a Luminosity Value derived from Spectroscopic analysis of a "bright-spot" in the sky, such as size, composition, age or temperature, NEEDED for one to be able to definitively identify the bright-spot's distance?” - https://twitter.com/DaBauz/status/1009478483481772037 
And with that, we’ll wrap-up today’s Blog on the critically “Important” “Requirement” for “Rigorous Terminology” - (in this case, both the words Rigorous Terminology and the words Important and Requirement, are said with the most passionate application of the “Queen’s English”, through full PLUMB)!

Shalom

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”

How does one get to “know” Jesus?  Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [Revelation 3:20 NIV]  How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything?  Well because the Bible tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:

“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [Romans 10:9-10 NIV]

And for those of you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” [Proverbs 9:10 NIV]

If nothing else, PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if you’re reading this, you can access this: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV) John 3 and John 14!

John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

And John 14:6 says: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Well that’s it, that’s Da Bauz’s Take on, “Rigorous Terminology” – this 20th day of June 2018 © 2018, All Rights Reserved. wr (Da Bauz, Christian Zionist “creationist” too!)

Just sayin’...

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem...

What is #RAD? #RAD is:

R epent of rejecting Christ
A ccept Christ as your Lord
D evelop your relationship with G-d

#RAD your relationship with the Living Almighty God Himself as your personal Lord and Saviour depends on it!

What is #ATEND G-d (Christ)?  Ask me!

What is #IIC714?

II 2nd
C hronicles
7:14

John 3:16, Revelation 3:20, Romans 10:9 -10, Revelation 21:27, II Corinthians 5:21 and I John 5:13 / John 20:31!

Shalom
