I know that. That's what makes it so undependable.

No, it is just generational. If you went to high school in the 70s, grass was 40 million years old. In the 80s it was 50 million years old. Now it is 70 million years old. Graphing that trend, as all good scientists would, puts it at grass at 100 million years old about 2050.

So one is more "dependable" to the extent that they refrain from revising their knowledge and understanding in light of the results of criticism and crucial tests?

I was going to say that this suggests a rather eccentric definition of "dependable," but from a creationist maybe not.

"I know that. That's what makes it so undependable."

So when the bird flu shots become available, you won't have one because undependable science developed them?
