Creationist cosmologies explain the anomalous acceleration of Pioneer spacecraft

by D. Russell Humphreys

A broad class of creationist cosmologies offer an explanation for the ‘Pioneer effect’, an apparent small Sunward anomalous acceleration of the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft. If a large volume of empty space surrounds the matter of the cosmos, so that the cosmos can have a centre of mass, then the matter is in a deep gravitational potential ‘well’. If space is expanding and spreading the matter outward, then the depth of the well is decreasing. According to general relativity, especially a new solution of Einstein’s equations derived in the Appendix (which also deals with Birkhoff’s theorem), the decreasing depth continuously shortens ‘radar’ distances within the well, causing the observed apparent acceleration. The magnitude of the anomalous acceleration implies the bottom of the potential well has not yet risen very far above the critical depth for gravitational time dilation. Thus the Pioneer effect supports the essentials of several creationist cosmologies: a centre of mass, expansion of space and recent time dilation. Big bang theorists, whose cosmology does not have a centre of mass, cannot use this explanation. As yet, they have no alternative theory upon which they agree....

Now that they've got the pioneer data and they can predict the next event, or make new predictions based on such data, would you like a ping?

Yes. Please ping me when an event is observed that they predicted in advance of the observation.

Tell us tacticalillogic, did Darwin go out and make his observations first and then make his predictions, or did he just make up his predictions and his observations came later?

[tacticalogic]

Tell us tacticalillogic, did Darwin go out and make his observations first and then make his predictions, or did he just make up his predictions and his observations came later?

Some of both.

Do you think misspelling my screen name is adding something to your argument?

[tpanther]

Ahhhh, some of both, so can you tell us when it’s required to present each in what particular order?

You know something other than just your whim?

[tacticalogic]

First you develop a theory based on observations. Then you make predictions based on the theory, and see if the predictions are observed to be accurate.

I know when I'm being baited.

[tpanther]

First you develop a theory based on observations. Then you make predictions based on the theory, and see if the predictions are observed to be accurate.

So why did you demand the predictions be made before the observations again?

[tacticalogic]

So why did you demand the predictions be made before the observations again?

All I did was ask if it was predicted before it was observed.

Of course the Earth is at/near the center of the Universe. God’s glorious Design is for our sake, and it’s fitting that we would have a place at center-stage, so to speak. Evo-Atheists have tried to belittle our position in order to make us some cosmic accident scattered at the fringes of an impersonal Cosmos.

[tpanther]

Nah, all you did was make a complete fool of yourself again.

[tacticalogic]

You’re going to need better insults.

[tpanther]

Nah, you need to make better arguments.

[tacticalogic]

Peddle your flame war to somebody else.

[1000 silverlings]

Well as much as I admire your passionate take on theology, it's not "earth" that's at the center of the universe, in theology

God is the center, He is the source of all creation. Man's relationship with God is the heart of the universe. Moreover it isn't a question of physical but spiritual.

[tpanther]

Dismantling your nonargument isn’t a flame war, peddle your faux-victimhood somewhere else.

[tacticalogic]

Saying “dismantle” isn’t actually dismantling.

[tpanther]

Except in this case.

[tacticalogic]

Because it’s you replying to me?

[tpanther]

Because it’s you period.

[tacticalogic]

Because it’s you period.

So out of all the forum membership, you single me out for special treatment.

[editor-surveyor]

Bbbbut, that agrees with God, so it’s unscientific....
