Matter in the past must have cooled fast. We see the seperation of waters from land in Gen 1. If this happened today we would be cooked. Just like if the continents seperated fast, it would now cause great heat. Therefore matter was different, and cooled fast in the past.

You know, if you have to posit changes to fundamental laws of physics to make your theory work, odds are it's your theory that should be changing (unless *no* theory can reconcile the data with the laws of physics as we know them; then the laws of physics as we know them are probably in need of a few tweaks. But that doesn't happen often.)
Whietwater55, dad apparently had pot once, a long time ago. I think he should try some again, it could only improve his warped mind.
Ah yes, the Fundie "Changing Laws of Physics" model of history. How many different versions of this bullshit have we seen? How many of them make any sort of sense?
Listen up, you primitive screwheads. With one known exception, the laws of physics DO NOT CHANGE OVER TIME. That one exception deals with a very short period after the Big Bang, and is only actually viable if the Big Bang did, in fact, occur.
Repeat after me:
The Laws of Physics do not change over time.
The Laws of Physics do not change over time.
The Laws of Physics do not change over time.
The Laws of Physics do not change over time.
And don't you ever forget it!
To believe the Earth and the universe are only 6,000 years old, you must believe the following were also different in the past:
The speed of light
Radioactive half-lives
The speed of continental drift
The formation of layers in glaciers
The rate at which the moon is receding from the Earth
The rate at which the Earth's rotation is slowing
Genetic mutation rates
Erosion rates
and so on...
Ockham's razor, indeed
<<< That one exception deals with a very short period after the Big Bang, and is only actually viable if the Big Bang did, in fact, occur. >>>
And that's more because of the high temperatures involved, not actually a change in the laws of physics.
True. The Big Bang, like black holes, screws with our standard models of physics because of some extremity. At the Big Bang, it was temperature; at black holes it is gravity, but both cause some breakdown of the standard equations.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
