Ah, you keep missing the point. We know the rate of nuclear decay NOW. We do not know the rate of nuclear decay 200 years ago, 1000 years ago, 5000 years ago.

As for the stopped clock nonsense, it doesn't apply. The Creation model is right 24 hours per day, so the analogy doesn't work.

And we should stop this dicussion, because as I said we're not on the same ground. You do not see the Bible as 100% Divinely inspired. You keep saying it is the words of men, which it is not. While you dismiss the truth of God's Word and what HE SAYS ON THE MATTER, you are no different than those who dismiss the Bible altogether. You're almost worse, as you pick and choose which parts are true.

Finally, since you haven't been paying attention, I do not base my understanding of Creation only on the Bible -- but on the science which supports it. All the evidence we have fits the Biblical account. Every last piece. Belief in Creation is NOT, as you seem to think, disbelief in Science itself. On the contrary.

So you're saying physics and math did NOT apply before we discovered them. That before Newton had that moment of realization, that gravity was simply a matter of the mind? It's a Logarithm

"You do not see the Bible as 100% Divinely inspired."

Ah, so here it is. You feel that "inspired" is as good as "infallible." Cubists are "inspired" to make the paintings they do. That doesn't make them "Truth", that makes them one person's version of "Truth".

"You're almost worse, as you pick and choose which parts are true."

Tell that to the people who put together the Canon Bible. They selected from hundreds of different texts to put it together, that's what the Dead Sea Scrolls are!

Inspired by God, YES! But authored AND edited by Flesh and Blood!

"Every last piece. Belief in Creation is NOT, as you seem to think, disbelief in Science itself. On the contrary."

I believe full well in the Creation. I simply happen to feel God may have dumbed it down (or someone did) for us mortals. Life CANNOT exist without God, no dispute. However, Humanity CANNOT reproduce without both men and women. Where is Cain's sister(s)? Didn't he lay with another woman in the wilderness? Where did she come from? Why are her origins a shroud? Why are we finding so many people (corpses) from this time, if only a few near perfect humans walked the Earth then? Why did a new species of grass come into existance from an unknown source around the same time the agricultural revolution began? It testafies grain was BEFORE 8000 B.C. And BTW, as for the old Earth crowd having to change their stance several time: you know the Hebrew calendar is said to be from the the Begining. According to it, we are 5764 years into existance. You can be quoted as saying "between 5 and 10 thousand" Which is it?
