So let us put this thing together.

Dawkins says he does not know what happened and their working on it.

You claim to know the dates of (whatever it is that happened) with scientific accuracy.

Wait a minute...... You are making it up, yet again.

How can you say you know the time of the homicide and then say you do not know whether it is a suicide, a homicide, second degree murder, cardiac failure etc.

You are making it............



up as you go along.

this is pretty funny. He thinks the earth formed immediately after the big bang. You know, my grandmother's house was build around 1800 and it has an electric stove. I guess that means the stove is 200 years old.
No. Both the house and stove are roughly 14.5 billion years old.

You've obviously never watched an episode of CSI, NCIS, or read any detective novel, or know the first thing about homicide investigations.

Because, believe it or not, you can know when time of death was, and not know how a person died!

Arguing through analogy is generally poor. Arguing through an analogy that supports your opponents position is just...well.

That is accurate.

Not calendar dates, but we've (they've, actually, I had nothing to do with it) worked out a timeline with an small margin of error, stretching back to about 14.5 billion years ago, at which point the universe was extremely compact, dense, and hot.

Wait a minute...... You are making it up, yet again.

That simply does not follow.

How can you say you know the time of the homicide and then say you do not know whether it is a suicide, a homicide, second degree murder, cardiac failure etc.

No, we say we know the time of death, to use your analogy.

ok, this just keeps getting better. So now you are saying it's impossible to know the time something happened withou knowing specifically how it happened.

I know my grandmother's house was build around 1800 but I don't know exactly how it was build. Appartently you thing that means that I can't know when it was build or even that it was built.

Ex nihlo construction?

You evidently don't watch enough TV! You can work out the time of death without knowing the cause of death.

Look, speakout.

When we speak of the age of the Earth, we're speaking of the amount of time that has elapsed since the matter it was made up of accreted together to form a planet. Obviously each molecule is at least as old as the age of the universe, but saying everything is 14 billion years old makes 'age' a pointless measurement.
