Not a double standard. I didn't make an assumption there at all. I noted that his assumption of the absence of one changes the outcome of the bs he was shovelling. When you ultimately don't know the conditions, assuming the conditions only tells us what would be IF you were right. That's a pretty big IF. Amazing how you choose to construe it. Assuming light speed was constant - that was a major screwup on the part of science - one with far reaching consequence still being felt in the community. Accumulation rates for 14C were assumed constant - look where that got you. Seems it's only reasonable to you that everyone play stupid so you can have your way until you're proven utterly wrong again. What I find reasonable is saying "I don't know" when you don't know. But that doesn't make you look smart - apparently. I assume that's bad.

Why are you still beating the light speed and decay rate dead horse? Did you not read my post to you regarding this issue? Did you not verify it for yourself by performing the calculations I suggested you do?

Why have you not tested the assumptions you have about the assumptions science uses? Are your assumptions not subject to test and verification?
