No candidate is ever conservative enough for some folks. No candidate is ever too liberal for some folks.

Sure, then apparently neither does the Pope and millions of other Christians. Science is useful. Creationism is useless.

Over the years I’ve found it fruitless to argue over the age of the earth. You are not likely to change anyone’s position.
I do know and believe that we can not directly measure that age, and can only estimate it based on indirect measurements and observations. As such, there are numerous presuppositions, assumptions, perspectives and world-views that color the way data is and can be interpreted - leading to vastly different conclusions.
What I do know and believe by faith, is that someday, I’ll have all the time needed to ask the Creator just how He did it! (see tagline)

Looks like the handiwork of Slartibartfast. Of course, he was more famous for his fiords and coastlines but the guy could sure do a great canyon.
And then there was that award he received for Norway, but I digress.....

No accurate readings are possible.

And the earth was Hayah - became without form, and void
Of course, God would not initially create the earth without form and void:
Isaiah 45:18
For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain Tohuw - empty, formless and chaos, Who formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD, and there is no other.
Thanks, I will think on this. very good

Beautiful picture, to be sure.
But it proves what?
Or rather since nothing in science is ever proved, it disproves what?

The grand canyon was cut while it was still wet, and probably in a week or two.
The lowest portion of the canyon demonstrates how it would have been cut if it had been cut after drying out.

Seems that evos, while hung up on evolutionary theory, are pretty weak in their understanding of physics, especially in regard to time dilation.

Recognizing that you are ignorant is not an attack.The assumption was made and the claim leveled that I am ignorant of the arguments presented against the validity of radiometric dating.
It is either a personal attack or an attempt to establish these arguments as unassailable truth by implying that no one who was aware of them could possibly disagree with them.
