For example, using the “fossil record” to date rocks and then rocks to date the fossil record is call circular logic and is hardly science.

You mean like observing that water boils at 100C, and then using that to determine that the temperature of a particular environment is 100C, because the water is boiling?

That's not "circular logic". Merely using previous scientific determinations to find succeeding determinations. Science wouldn't exist without such techniques. Many times such chains of evidence are several generations deep. Even garden variety "litmus tests" are based on previous discoveries in chemistry that are used in subsequent tests of samples.

You need to learn a bit about how science works.

Well, hell, I guess they didnt cover no science when I was a goen to colleg.

What I do understand ... math, specifically cryptography and large prime and random numbers. In fact, I hold multiple patents in computational science and cryptography. I'll believe in evolution when a million monkeys, banging on a keyboard for a million years has the possibility of duplicating War and Peace (or any other major literary work).
