Thanks! I can live with that; nevertheless, I do not have a blind faith in the aging techniques employed by Geo-science experts.
Neither do I.

I just don't think any aging techniques employed by Geo-science experts were used during the creation week.

No, the earth is old because it existed before the cataclysm that befell it. Man and the animals with him are of recent origin, not the earth or previous life - dinosaurs.

The Hebrew word is "hayah"

And the earth "became" desolate and waste... and darkness became.... After the destruction God moved and made a new creation out of the old, this one with a difference that was worth mentioning. His works are from ancient times and he did not create the earth in vain. So although it was destroyed, He created it to be inhabited, nor did He create it empty of life at the start - of which we can not determine that length of time.
Do you believe in the Gap theory?

Just an ability to play connect-the-dots on paper.
Not even that talent is needed. As our use of computers shows here the scientific method works amazingly well.

One of the main tools of science is the concept of scientific evidence. It is an amazingly strong concept that is well worth understanding.

This is a scientific discussion and scientific terminology should be used. There is no "Gap theory".
"Hayah" is scientific terminology?

I've heard that word before .. in Bruce Lee flicks.

Scientists usually do not have the means to purchase false evidence. That can be extremely expensive.
What evidence gave us Phlogiston theory?

Please be specific.

Please do not be obtuse. It could be called a type of goading.

I was merely pointing out that you should not use incorrect terminology. There is no "Gap theory" since it has not gone through the necessary processes to become a theory.

Here is a simple question, what would falsify it?

What he described is called the Gap theory.

I take it you don't have a Scofield?

I know it is commonly called that. That does not mean that it is a theory.

If your grandkids are playing a game and they demand that one of them be called "The President of the United States" does that mean that he is the President? People playing at science don't get to say that a WAG is a theory.

And burning wood led a scientist to the wrong conclusion, did it not?

Did this theory pass peer review?
Actually that was before the concept of peer review. Though they did have similar ways of testing back then.

Science as a process has improved over the years. It seems as if you think that improvements in our life are bad.

Yes, I realize that.

I was just using "shop talk" for simplification.
If you were using "shop talk" you would not have made that mistake. In different situations different definitions are appropriate. You use of that term was not appropriate here.

Using software jargon, which program has a more stable history?

Creationism 1.0 or Evolution 2015.5.28?

That wasn't a mistake.

I've used it before, and I'll use it again until it goes out of vogue.

After all, "trinity" is also a near-obsolete term now, in favor of "triunity."

But I still use "trinity" for the sake of not having to be pedantic.

Since Creationism 1.0 is a total failure the answer is Evolution 2015.5.28. Creationism 1.0 never even got to Beta testing.
