Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
We can get to that in a second. First let us establish if you consider yourself fallible because I have met Christians who claim it is not possible for them to be wrong. Is it possible for you to be wrong in your understanding?It’s not hard to understand that six days means 6 days or that this particular person lived x amount of years.
It's worth considering that maybe wheels seem obvious to you because they're so familiar - you've probably seen them your whole life. Rolling logs were used to transport heavy items for thousands of years before wheels appeared because wheels were a major technological and imaginative leap.This is a very obtuse approach which is not surprising but Jesus wasn’t sent here to create computers. If man had existed for 294,000 years then I expect that computers would’ve been invented when Jesus came just 2,021 years ago. It’s not surprising that it took almost 6,000 years to invent computers since they require a lot more advanced technologies than a round wooden object that any person can create in a single day. Your comparing the difference between learning how to roll something to how to harness electricity and create advanced circuitry. People can easily see how to roll an object in a natural environment. Drop any round object on a hill and notice what happens. It’s the simplest form of observational science. Drop a rock or a log on a hill compared to how a computer works which is next to unfathomable for even the most educated people of today. Sure most educated people today know how to use them but they have no clue how they work or how to make them despite seeing them inside and out for decades. Do you know anyone who doesn’t know how to make a wheel from scratch? Do you know anyone who does know how to make a computer from scratch?
Wrong!
With C-14, the radiodates can be compared with tree ring dates, and this allows researchers to calibrate for the different amounts of C-14 in the atmosphere at points in time in the past.
It is not assumed constant.

For wheels to be more practical than logs, you need several novel inventions working together - wheels, axles, and rotary bearings (probably the most difficult idea - they don't exist in nature). Each is useless without the others. It's possible to imagine how each idea was derived, but to put them together to make 'a better log' was something special.
How did the wheels & axles rotate?I agree whelks and axles are necessary but not bearings. Carts used wheels for thousands of years without bearings.
So how can dendrochronology provide us with an accurate amount of C14 in the atmosphere 50,000 years ago if the longest tree recording is only 12,000 rings?

Perhaps you should stick to faith based arguments instead demonstrating an ignorance about the science.The problem with both of these dating methods is that it’s assumed that the object has acquired a constant amount of radiation or C14. With TL they have to assume that the radiation was constant and consistent with the levels the object is receiving today in order to determine the annual rate of exposure. If the levels have changed they have no way of knowing it and it radically affects the dating formula. The same exact problem has been happening with carbon dating except in the case of carbon dating we already know for a fact that the C14 levels have been changing since C14 has been increasing in our atmosphere since they first discovered it. It’s been predicted that C14 levels should’ve reached a climax roughly 30,000 after the earth was formed and yet the levels are still increasing which either means their calculations were wrong or the earth is less than 30,000 years old. Either way they’re wrong.
I did give an agree rating.

Tree rings don’t grow according to each year they grow according to weather conditions. So we have to assume the weather has been constant if we are to assume these rings to be accurate. So all this boils down to is unreliable evidence based on assumptions we can’t confirm, not proof.
Since all the groundbreaking, paradigm creating scientists were god-believing creationists, including Francis Bacon, the father of the modern scientific method - who thus gave us modern science- I’d say there are tons of examples of the OP occurring.
You have those such as the founders of macro physics (Newton) and quantum physics, astronomers, genetics (Mendel)...
Those like Nicolas Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, Descartes, Pascal, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, William Thompson Kelvin, Max Plank, and even Albert Einstein - who were either Christians or believed in a deist God as the architect and creator of the Universe.
Where did you get this fanciful number from?Only if your assuming that the Aborigines have existed for 300,000 years.
This is only scratching the surface.Why do these lists of scientists who were Christians never mention Giordano Bruno (1548-1600), who was a Dominican priest and possessed a Ph.D. in theology? He also believed that the universe was infinite, that the stars were other suns, and that they possessed inhabited planets.
Another example is Michael Servetus (1511-1553), who discovered the pulmonary circulation of the blood and was a prolific writer on theology. Why is he not on this list?
Post and runner, back at it.
If you can't discuss or support your claims, better not to make them.
In the hope that people might be exposed to new ideas and perspectives and become better educated.
Out of curiosity, have you ever perused scientific materials not published by creationists? Ever taken a course on biology, evolution, etc?
While creationism is completely ignored and sits on the sidelines.
