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],

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:Once red shift came onto the game, that can be used as a rough heuristic as well. But cepheid variables etc provide absolute luminosity measures that allow distances to be gauged— Rulon James Downard (@RJDownard) June 18, 2018
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
“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.
Of course another Tweeter, Ms. Rosa Rubicondior [3], says “No. Not all objects are equally bright.” - https://twitter.com/RosaRubicon/status/1008835313471541253well they're stars, and we have those spectroscopes to tell a lot on size based on their temperature & what's in them, so the dimmer a particular class/size of star is, the farther it is away— Rulon James Downard (@RJDownard) June 18, 2018
— Rosa Rubicondior (@RosaRubicon) June 18, 2018Ergo, 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/1009478483481772037For example, Ru:— The Dub's view (@DaBauz) June 20, 2018
One is provided w/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?
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)!Ah Ru,— The Dub's view (@DaBauz) June 20, 2018

“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

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!
