URL to Print Out and Distribute


I made sure it has the proportions of an A4, so when you print it out, it will probably re-size to an overall A4 image.

I recommend, once it is printed out (make copies freely!) that you cut the rows before separating the four examples in each row, as the columns are not overall reliably made./HGL



PS, Another one, if you want smaller and more URLs:



Otherwise, after printing out the first one, in two copies, put them on the A3 screen, make two copies reduced to A4, put these on the A3 screen and make two or more copies reduced to A4. That might give a clearer text than what I did by similar procedure in paint./HGL

Rolling Period of Ark?


Baraminological Note · For Sea-Farers .... · Rolling Period of Ark? · Ark : empty weight and freighted weight, number of couples on the Ark. · Small Tidbits on Ark, Especially Mathematical

A passenger ship will typically have a long rolling period for comfort, perhaps 12 seconds while a tanker or freighter might have a rolling period of 6 to 8 seconds.


From My Sea Time: Q.What is roll period of a ship and on what factors does it depends ?

Roll Period Time (T) = (K * Beam^2) / sqrt (GM)

Or, from wiki:

T = 2pik / sqrt(gGM)
g = gravitational acceleration
k = radius of gyration about longitudinal axis
GM = stability index

Mathematically the radius of gyration is the root mean square distance of the object's parts from either its center of mass or a given axis, depending on the relevant application. It is actually the perpendicular distance from point mass to the axis of rotation.


Now, I had written in the previous stability related article that ...

"I was out, I calculated that total weight of Ark with load when waterline was 15 cubits up was 50,970 metric tons. I took into account that there were three storeys on Ark, and considering foot tons and calculating for even distribution of weight over three storeys, I got it to a centre of gravitation of either 21.37 feet above keel/bottom, if lowest storey count as ten feet up, or if the foot tons are zero because the height is zero, 18 feet above bottom."


18 - 21 feet up = centre of gravitation.



Problem is, what distance values do I take into account for root mean square distance to the point marked 18/21?

I'll go with three points on the height times three points on the sides. Nine points overall in their distance to the centre of gravitation.

In the middle, where diagonality is not an issue, the three points are high, middle and low. Not marked.

60 - 21 = 39 60 - 18 = 42
30 - 21 = 9 30 - 18 = 12
21 18


Each side has same values, so each following value is counted twice in the mean. High, middle, low on each side is abbreviated as h, m, l.

392 + 502 = h2 422 + 502 = h2
92 + 502 = m2 122 + 502 = m2
212 + 502 = l2 182 + 502 = l2
 
1521 + 2500 = 4021 = h2 1764 + 2500 = 4264 = h2
81 + 2500 = 2581 = m2 144 + 2500 = 2644 = m2
441 + 2500 = 2941 = l2 324 + 2500 = 2824 = l2
 
1521 + 81 + 441 + 2(4021 + 2581 + 2941) = 21129 1764 + 144 + 324 + 2(4264 + 2644 + 2824) = 21696
21129 / 9 = 2347.67 21696 / 9 = 2410.67
sqrt(2347.67)= 48.45sqrt(2410.67) = 49.10
 
2 * 48.45 * pi = 304.42 2 * 49.10 * pi = 308.50
 
32.174 ft/s2 * 21 = 675.654 32.174 ft/s2 * 18 = 579.132
sqrt(675.654) = 26sqrt(579.132) = 24.07
 
304.42 / 26 = 11.71 308.50 / 24.07 = 12.82


So, unless I totally got the way of calculating radius of gyration wrong, the rolling period of the Ark, according to the formula given in wiki, would have been between 11.71 and 12.82 seconds. Recall that first sentence?

A passenger ship will typically have a long rolling period for comfort, perhaps 12 seconds while a tanker or freighter might have a rolling period of 6 to 8 seconds.


In other words, God saw to it, they were fairly comfy on the Ark, whenever the natural rolling period prevailed!

On the road to St James, on a day when I was crying, a man trying to comfort me told me "God gives his what they need, but not too soon / just a little less, so they don't feel spoiled". God measly? Er, no.

If I got the calculation right, the rolling period of the Ark was that of a passenger ship, or even somewhat slower.

Of course, I am not a ship captain and can have got it wrong, but if you are into ships, see for yourself!

To Michael Oard


Thank you for telling us about Sahara as wet land in your article:

The problem of the wet Sahara
by Michael Oard
https://creation.com/wet-sahara


Here is a quote I'll highlight:

The timing of the AHP has been debated, but secular researchers generally believe it started about 15,000 years ago.11,12 Based on 3,287 carbon-14 dates from 1,011 Neolithic archeological sites, they surmise that humans were in northern Africa 5,500–10,500 years ago. So, the AHP is inferred to have likely ended about 5,500 years ago in the uniformitarian timescale.


This is where I go ... well, first, let's quote your conclusion:

This corresponds to the very late Pleistocene, during deglaciation, and the early to mid-Holocene, after the biblical Ice Age.


I would object to the phrase "biblical Ice Age" - because the Ice Age as such is only vaguely hinted at in the Bible. It's like saying "biblical penecilline", not that the Bible forbids us to believe in or consume (when infected) penicilline, but that the Bible does not mention it.

I would say, this corresponds to:

  • times in Biblical chronology just before the Babel project;
  • times of the Babel project (40 years in one Jewish tradition, I recall);
  • times after Babel but ending before Abraham, if not necessarily before his birth, at least before Genesis 14.


I base this on:

  • accepting Göbekli Tepe as Babel (if "tower" means rocket, lack of tower like architecture is no problem), where the carbon dates are between 9600 and 8600 BC;
  • and accepting Osgood's identification of Amorrheans of Asason-Thamar with Chalcolithic En Gedi. Meaning probably a carbon date close to 3000 BC.


In other words, Carbon date 5500 BC is between 8600 BC and 3000 BC. Carbon date 15000 BC is before 9600 BC. Obviously it is after the Flood, not just because 15000 BC is ...

... Sorry, I saw I misconstrued BP (ago, before present) as BC (before Christ). This is about how things can go wrong for a writer who is also homeless and therefore often tired. Now, this does not mean I live in a haze, it means I spend some moments surprising myself with having read myself or others in a short moment of haze. So, 10,500 years ago is 8500 BC = just after Göbekli Tepe, just after Babel. 5500 years ago = 3500 BC, within the possible span (as long as I don't find actual carbon dates cited) of chalcholithic of En Geddi, BUT as being before Pharaos, it would have to have been a bit before Genesis 13.

Mechanism of Relative Correctness on Lava Layers ... Proposed


It is not withdrawn. Yet.

In a video by Dr.Grady McMurtry, at 7:11, I see a graph on the screen behind the doctor talking.

Text on graph:

1801, the Hualalai Volcano, Hawaii, Lava flow went to the Ocean Floor.

0.8 miles (1.3 km) deep, K-Ar 0 million

2 miles (3.2 km) deep, K-Ar 12 million

2.6 miles (4.2 km) deep, K-Ar 21 million


I propose, the deeper down lava flowed, the cooler it got; the cooler it got, the quicker the lava solidified; the quicker lava solidified, the more Argon got trapped instead of leaking out AND therefore, the older it is dated.

So, if in Laetoli the lower lava layers are older than the upper ones, in dating, it is because the upper ones were laid down in a shallower sea with water somewhat already heated by previous lava flows ... still, during Flood, the streams would be so fast that water would cool much better and 0.8 miles deep would not be absolutely needed to get the K-Ar dates above and below for instance the recent footprints (recently discovered, not saying the Flood was recent, when the footprints were made).

If Obama was seriously born on Hawaii, how come he has no clue about this creationist argument? He seems to be still promoting old age and evolution, right?

Herpes on the Ark? (Adult Stuff, Sorry)


This is usually a family friendly blog.

While many posts are more easily understood by young adults or adults than by normal children, the latter are not discouraged from reading them, on my part. This is an exception. Adults sometimes are very studpid about one or two particular things and one of them is likely to land you with sth called herpes. If you are a boy under 14 or a girl under 12 in normal circumstances you should not be reading about this.

Newer post. | Older post.

Children out of this post?

Fine.

As you know, I believe Neanderthals were pre-Flood. I also believe most post-Flood diseases arose after the Flood, by mutating viruses and bacteria. In other words, post-Flood diseases are usually not pre-Flood diseases. The problem for me is, herpes is a disease existing post-Flood. And Neanderthals are, on my view, pre-Flood.

There are some ways to go around this.

  • 1) Neanderthals diagnoses with herpes are misdiagnosed, the disease is similar, but not identic.
  • 2) Neanderthals are post-Flood.
  • 3) Noah had a person infected with herpes on the Ark.
  • 4) Herpes some way by passed humans on the Ark.


Now, each has a few problems.

1) Neanderthals diagnoses with herpes are misdiagnosed, the disease is similar, but not identic.

Not likely. I trust the palaeo-anthropologists a bit too much for this one.

After a glance at Melissa Hogenboom, I wonder whether I overdid the confidence ... it reads a bit like, no herpes mark or virus was ever analysed on a Neanderthal skeleton or skull, it is a matter of back-tracing genes related to diseases.

2) Neanderthals are post-Flood.

CMI or IRC would consider this the case. I think it poses problems for carbon dating. If carbon date of Babel, beginning and ending, is 9600 and 8600 BC (Göbekli Tepe), how come carbon levels sank so drastically to supposedly post-Babel Neanderthals, of which the most recent ones are as far as I have gathered, 40 000 - 35 000 BP (38 - 33 000 BC)?

"Babel begins 2602 BC"
"42.89 pmc, 9600 BC"

"Babel ends 2562 BC"
"48.171 pmc, 8600 BC"

"Flood"
"2957 BC"
"low estim."
"c. 1 percent modern carbon (pmc), 38 000 BC (40 000 BP)"

From
Refining table Flood to Abraham - and a doubt

So
no, I don't think Neanderthals are really post-Babel, even if it would solve the problem. Obviously, CMI and IRC consider Babel far older than Göbekli Tepe - and they underestimate relative reliability of C14.

3) Noah had a person infected with herpes on the Ark.

If so - why?

  • Some son chose a wife unwisely?
  • Most people had herpes (all flesh was corrupted - could mean that) and those who hadn't had avoided it by being part of a very evil élite.
  • Someone's wife was raped - but this does not dissolve marriage.
  • Someone with a tragic past was nevertheless worthy to be on the Ark (say, Noema as Ham's wife could have been widow of "Pandavas" as Mahabharata calls them, and therefore also exposed to a very evil "Kaurava" - who could have been infected : supposing she was for instance the historic model for Draupadi).


Each is possible, none is totally convincing.

4) Herpes some way by passed humans on the Ark.

It bypassed the humans on the Ark via animals:

Nine herpesvirus types are known to infect humans: herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2, also known as HHV1 and HHV2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV, which may also be called by its ICTV name, HHV-3), Epstein–Barr virus (EBV or HHV-4), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV or HHV-5), human herpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A and HHV-6B), human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7), and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV, also known as HHV-8).[7] In total, more than 130 herpesviruses are known,[8] some of them from mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mollusks.


Or via corpses.


Both animals and corpses pose the question what post-Flood person was uncautious enough to catch it ... I consider Nimrod a candidate. "He began to be a giant" could refer to some kind of initiation, with very unsound, like necrophiliac or zoophiliac rites.

Or, the news that Neanderthals had herpes is hyped, the research is as bad as my glance at Melissa Hogenboom's article seemed to suggest to me.

How Thick is the Pointer, Not Where on the Scale Do You Put It ...


I had a discussion (very briefly) with a JW, about Mark 10:6.

He said, Jesus was not putting the "pointer" at Genesis 1:1, since Adam and Eve were created six days later.

This presupposes that the "pointer" is razor sharp at a nano-second. But Adam and Eve were not created same nano-second, there were hours between. So, the pointer is not nano-second sharp.

In fact, the six days beginning at Genesis 1:1 and including creation of Adam and Eve are even so a very narrow and razor sharp "pointer" if we consider the 5229 years between them and the words of Christ.

They are 1,909,853 days and divide that by six ... the "scale" is 318,309 times broader than the "pointer", which makes it razor sharp enough.

So, pointer definitely includes Genesis 1:1 - but Old Earth makes the "pointer" much thicker than the "scale"./HGL
