From the conclusion:
"Conclusion
If the wooden remains of the Ark were to be found on Mt. Ararat, then samples of that wood would be expected to yield C-14 dates of between 20,000 years and 50,000 years, consistent with the C-14 dates of pre-Flood wood found fossilized in the geologic record of the Flood. Even though the true age of such fossilized pre-Flood wood should be only 4,500 years or so old, around the date for the biblical Flood, these grossly inflated C-14 dates obtained in conventional radiocarbon dating laboratories are due to those laboratories ignoring the very much less C-14 in the pre-Flood world compared to today’s world. But in strong contrast, the wood samples that have been claimed by a Chinese-Turkish team to have supposedly come from their discovery of the wooden remains of the Ark on Ararat have yielded C-14 dates from analyses in conventional radiocarbon laboratories ranging from recent (modern) to 6,891±4,647 years. These results are grossly short of what the C-14 dates should be for pre-Flood wood. Therefore, if we logically follow the soundest scientific inference, it must be concluded that these wood samples cannot have come from the pre-Flood wood used to build the Ark. Given the present C-14 evidence, despite the tantalizing wooden remains the Chinese-Turkish team claims to have discovered on Mt. Ararat, such artifacts CANNOT have come from the Ark. So whatever they have found, they are NOT the remains of the Ark."

I did not say that you did bring up Big Bang or evolution, but used them as examples of ‘science’ that says the Bible is wrong.
Again, I’ll say it is better to trust in the Lord (and His word), than man, that I’ll beleive the Bible rather than theories about how it could be wrong.
Thanks for the links...
I don’t discount it, but I am curious and open to what the truth is. I also don’t pretend to be an expert in translating the Bible, but others with credentials have indicated that the translation of morning/evening being the beginning/end of a definite period of time is valid.
You don’t think God wrote the Bible in English, do you? Even in English, we say things like “morning in America”, so discounting this as a possibility doesn’t seem foolish to me.
if a particle has no properties, then it does not interact with anything else .... therefore it can never be detected and, logically, it does not exist. (Perhaps any particle IS the sum total of its properties.)
Photons have no mass.
Neutrinos were always thought to have no mass, at least in my day. That has changed now as you point out.
in a hydrogen atom. to detect neutrinos, on November 13, 1970. Because a neutrino has spin, rarely a neutrino will hit a proton in a hydrogen atom ... thus detected.
“Astrophysics may not be the settled science you think it is” ... Settled models, perhaps, but all we have are current models which nobody would claim are forever settled.
put me on the singularity list. colloquially known as BIG BANG= electromagnetic radiation. colloquially know as light.
Let there be light
sounds better than
Let there be electromagnetic radiation
especially in ancient Hebrew.
summary: some people cannot win for losing or something.
God could have used the term Yom for day.
