Now that's funny ... I tend to call evolution a philosophy as well.

Now that is really funny... according to Bill O'Reilly Christianity is also a philosophy. I advise you to listen to him and beware, lest it spoils you.

But I already know what you will say about him, and I really don't care if you agree or disagree with him. Take your grain of salt to whatever you like... just like people do when you "call evolution a philosophy".

Right ... now suddenly you guys are going to act like you know all about it, aren't you?

While this does not in any way follow from what I said, it shows very clearly again the level of your "agreement with us guys".

[And just BTW, I already explained my understanding of "nothing", more than once, here on this forum. Shouldn't take you too long to find them: after all, I only have 10,000+ posts to search.]

I 'bring it up' when I'm accused of knowing it. In other words, you guys bring it up first, and I just agree with it.

Uh-huh. More like you guys bring it up, then complain when we agree.

Na-hah. You only agree with yourself. You agree with what you think people said or mean... and then you "complain" when people try to correct you.

But in this case I really would like to know: how can you agree with us on the point in question, when you at the same time assert that we didn't understand it?

What was this thread about?

Oh yeah! Other radiometric dating methods. For a minute I thought I was in an apologetics thread.

Nothing is an interesting philosophical concept, and the debate about it is not new. But in this case you might want to notice that is was "you guys" (namely, AV) who brought it up and claims superiour knowlegde about it.

But this also is something "you guys" do: trying everything to shift the blame away from you.

You are right... I just manufactured what wasn't there.

Look, I just made a joke! Will you get it or not, I wonder?

When a "date" differs from that expected, researchers readily invent excuses for rejecting the result. The common application of such posterior reasoning shows that radiometric dating has serious problems. Woodmorappe cites hundreds of examples of excuses used to explain "bad" dates.

Show me a single example of this where there is no evidence to support the proposed reason for dismissing the errant date.

I've been told I bring nothing to discussions on creationism, and I agree.

I've been told I have nothing to offer, and I agree.

But then later, you'll see someone wanting evidence of the creation events.

What gives here?

how hard is it to understand AV? you stumble in to a thread like a bull in a china shop and say a bunch of stuff with no basis in fact, acting like you said something authoritative and people want you to back it up.

i would guess that the people saying all the things you said are different people, stop trying to make it seem like the same people are saying contradicting things, you have done that before and no one is fooled by it.

stop acting like people are demanding the impossible and use your head for more than a hat rack please.
