Using what dating method? And you know that it’s reliable by what observable method. Your fundamental error is in the false and sad assumption that I have no formal education in physics, chemistry, archaeology, or anthropology. You’re wrong.

When you have no argument, fall back to ad hominem. Are you sure you are in the right board? DU and KOS have completely different URLs.
How do you know God did not go back in time and planted the remmants to give man something to do

Your statements make that conclusion inevitable. If you understood science you would not make the statements you make. If someone posts 3+3=5 and you agree, it means you do not understand arithmetic.
A=B=C.
Pretty straightforward.
Science is defined as “systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation. “
Show me where these “scientists” observed and/or experimented upon the crashing of our planets and the formation of the earth.
Page the Brothers Grimm when you can.
Trying to hijack a thread again I see. This thread was about new ideas on the age of the Earth and Moon, it had nothing to do with toe or ‘creationists’.
>>Actually I was referring “dumb” as illustrated by your misuse of the word Luddite in this context. Thanks for proving my point.<<
Ah, so all you have is ad hominem. Nice to see the ignorant always use the same gambit.
>>This thread was about new ideas on the age of the Earth and Moon, it had nothing to do with toe or ‘creationists’.<<
I see you stalking me again. I don’t blame you — you want to learn and need me to guide you.
And I would say that, based on the responses, this has everything to do with creationists.
But thanks for playing.
Now get lost.
:) I see you are either ignorant, or ignoring the fact that recent discoveries of Dinosaurs’ bones (Supposedly hunderds of millions of years old) have been found with DNA, and that items, known to have been created recently, have been carbon dated to be thousands of years old? You don’t knopw what you’re talking about. I apologize to have to put it bluntly.
“If someone posts 3+3=5 and you agree, it means you do not understand arithmetic.”
This is observable, and hence disprovable. The age of the Earth is not.
Well the dispensationalists have changed thr date of the Rapture every few years since 33 AD. But only real scientists get called out for revisiting their data.
“How do you know God did not go back in time and planted the remmants to give man something to do.”
I’m not sure if you are being serious or not...But I would add, that it wasn’t even necessary to do that. The Earth can be eons old, and we can have a period of only a few thousand years from the Fall (If you believe in it).
Regardless of Young or old earth theory, We cannot know the age of the Earth, because it’s not only not observable, the processes involved are, as of yet, unobservable to us.
I don’t believe in the Rapture either.
Stop with the lead in via a history lesson, just take my G-d d@mn wallet now and leave me in my peaceful destitution.
Ah, quote mining. I expect no less from people who do not know science.
From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/science1. a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences.
2. systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.
Sucks to be busted, eh?
And if I were to grant you your #2 definition, are you saying that astronomy, geology, physiology et seq are all wrong because the process was not observable?
You really need to stay away from subjects you don't understand.
//I see you stalking me again//
That is ridiculous and I was already reading this thread before you started in with your rant about ‘creationists’. I just called you out on it and you dont like getting exposed thats all.
Folks he will do this every time on these type of threads.
And I’m aware of the “Great Disappointment” in the 7th Day Adventists, and other religions. They don’t claim to be scientists.
It takes just as much faith to subscribe to this psuedo”science” as it does to subscribe to any religion. More, actually, because a Religion can be tested, there are eyewitnesses to “miracles,” and always have been.
Miracles are merely a form of science we can’t yet understand, but still can observe.
