Please - don't try to kill this thread. There are many avenues of discussion relating to the age of the earth, in this thread. We are just getting started.

Thanks

A Straw Man Argument is a statement you make if you want to more easily attack an opposing position. You intentionally make a silly caricature of that position, one that no one would believe, knock down that silly, unrealistic caricature, and then proclaim that the original version of the argument has been demolished. This tactic fools a lot of people.

This is one of the most unethical and cowardly of debating tactics, since you have so little confidence in your own position that you cannot even address the real position of your opponent. At the heart of the Straw Man Argument is deception.

 

Very true, I wonder why so many creationists use strawmen.

probably 700,000+ years old. LOL well thats what spacedaily.com says.

Growing numbers of geologists now believe that Marble Canyon and the Inner Gorge may be no more than 700,000 years old -- veritable infants on the geologic time scale, and much younger than the earlier 3-million- to 5-million_year-old estimates. Some scientists now believe that a third of the canyon's depth may have been cut in the blink of a geologic eye -- perhaps during the past 600,000 to 700,000 years.

Hey thats what creationists do :)

Creationism is not backed up by any intellectual arguments. just in my opinion a bunch of ridiculous hooey, imo

No wonder you throw out that term so often nick. I had a friend once in school, always called everyone a liar. First thing out of her mouth if she wanted to put a person down. But lying was something she had an extreme problem with.
