” That’s right. It doesn’t matter what evidence is found, the assumption of long-age will always be accepted as fact.

It’s unfalsifiable.”

Oh stop it! Are you really saying the age determinations based on numerous scientific investigations are worthless? Let me give you some help here. Revise your arguments, instead of displaying your inability to do so. They could be off some, they could be construed of bad assumptions, but to say they are completely off the mark portrays you in a argumentive light and for arguments sake. As compared to those things that have lead to this article.

You merely display the inability that science has to abandon the initial assumption of long-age. Everything is interpreted through the filter of a required long-age. When evidence that is not predicted appears, appeals to 'unknown conditions' are invoked to save the initial assumption of long-age.

C14 in coal (where it should not be) is explained-away as being created by underground radiation.

Anomalous fossils are explained-away as having been 'reworked'.

Life forms thought to be extinct for hundreds of millions of years are merely reclassed as 'living fossils' when found.

Absolutely everything is interpreted through the existing paradigm (long ages) and made to fit into it.
