We can go on and on about what we think can or can not happen. Show me
scientific evidence that D and Di are indiscriminately used in chemical
reactions in magma so that the ratio D/Di is isotopically homogenous. I
don't want just statements that that is what will/does happen. I want
evidence that cannot be interpreted in any other way. Otherwise all this
speculation is a waste of time.
I find it curious that the Talk.Origins article does not present any
evidence to back up this assertion. Their strongest statement is "Suppose"
D/Di is isotopically homogenous. Strange talk on such a vital point. It is
not up to me to prove them wrong. They must show evidence that cannot be
interpreted any other way. After all, it is their theory, not mine. If
they cannot support this point, they have no right to claim it valid.
And you have not offered any scientific evidence either, you have only
asserted that this is the case. Not good enough. Show me experiments that
cover all minerals and chemical compounds where the ratio D/Di is always
consistent.
