Perhaps you need to look up the definition of circular reasoning.
And who decides that the “perfect” universe is static anyway?
If it is perfect and it is changing, then how can both today's universe and yesterday's universe both be perfect?
Tomorrow is different, is it going to be perfect too?
Maybe perfect would be another good word to look up.
You set yourself up as a Biblical Literalist, yet get upset when held to literal standards. One of those is creation happening in 6 days, plus a day of rest, plus a relatively low number of generations enumerated since then. Even if every enumerated generation lived ten times as long as Methuselah, it's still a minuscule fraction of the age Hubble and so many other methods give.
Which is it? You are either a de facto YEC, a fraud, or have no concept of long time periods.
I chose to believe you are an honest agent, but literally cannot conceive any meaningful difference between a few hundreds of thousands of years and a few billions of years.
You at least have plenty of company in that. We're really not built to do that.
Why does being perfect preclude change? Since when does “perfect” = “static”?
Doesn’t the human body change as it matures?
A person can have a perfect body but that body is not identical as an adult compared to infancy. If a person’s body did not change between infancy and adulthood, it would be considered that there was something seriously wrong with it. I can have a perfect body and perfectly healthy one and by that alone, it WILL go through puberty. If it doesn’t, it’s not perfect.
I have not set myself up as a Bible Literalist. That is an imaginary construct that has no basis in reality that you have bought into. It’s nothing more than a label which some have used to force others into a corner which does not exist.
I am not “upset” but I will not accept a label imposed on me which is untrue and does not exist. I do not know of ANYONE who believes Scripture who is a “Bible Literalist” as defined by those who reject God and Scripture and generally self-identify as atheists. They have no business and no right to slap labels on people as if they were fact when they are not. It’s disingenous at the bery least and is only done so to discredit their opponent. It is not an honest debate technique.
Life is not either/or. Contrary to what you are presuming about my position, I do not fit into any of your little pigeon holes. You have no idea of my understanding of time, relativity, or science based on your comments to me.
