I'm with you 100%. History is a hand written record, so obviously.
Age has no connection with maturity, as many an old punk has posted here.

No, history is not a "hand written record". I have scars on my skin, those represent several moments of the history of my life. My teeth are wearing out. My joints are not the same as the used to be when I was younger. Those all represent history.

I never said you did, chief. I said you invented embedded age. The miracle is what is described in the Bible.
Then it's the term you disagree with?

I coined the term, yes; but as I said, until you come up with a better one...

And by "better," I mean more descriptive.

No, it is not the term that I disagree with. It is the fact that you have to find a way to reconcile 4.58 billion with 6,000. If the history on the rocks (all 4.58 billion years of it) truly does not matter, there is no need for embedded age.

Then until you come up with a better term, I'll stick with Embedded Age.

...which still leaves you with a creation that tells a different story from your book. So squirm all you like, you are left with the problem of either the author of your book being wrong, or the creator of creation not being the least bit interested in the opinions of the author of your book. The two cannot be the same.

Don't try to convince me the rocks tell me anything about the Bible, until you can tell me what Jesus said the rocks would say.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

If nature doesn't point to Jesus Christ, nature can take a hike.

I think at that point one has to throw up their hands and say ok.

Here is the obvious theological implications for this, Mr Descartes: if everything around you is a lie how could you call ANY of it the creation of God?
