Then I apologize for mischaracterizing you I meant nothing about your integrity only your position never post when frustrated
I have been called the first two and this thread implies the third
I have read a lot of material that turns out to be incorrect or arguments with scant material backing them up and I am trying to be more careful about my sourcesWell, mere skepticism concerning evolution doesn't inherently mean any of those -- although scratching the surface does occasionally reveal some unpleasant character traits lurking not far underneath.
You, at least, are willing to concede that you don't know a lot about these topics -- which puts you a step above far too many PRATT-echoing creationist crusaders.

That bugs you, doesn't it?We havent met yet a creationist who will even consider he might be mistaken, in any significant way.
So when you sayI say Pluto is a planet, because I believe it was demoted by way of a rigged vote.
What you actually mean is4. Bible says ø, Science says x = go with x
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own
You do away with 54. Bible says ø, Science says x = free to speculate on your own
5. Bible says ø, Science says ø = free to speculate on your own

Are you doing anything to alleviate this alleged oversight?
The oversight which resulted in the credible mathematical calculations disproving evolution not being brought to our attention.
What oversight would that be?
Always a good plan.
In the event you are working with basics of science,
being intrrest / curiosity, and doubting of everything-
theory, sources, and yourself.

Here's an example Assessing the RATE ProjectThat puts you two steps above too many "skeptics."
Here's an example Assessing the RATE Project
1. There is overwhelming evidence of more than 500 million years worth of radioactive decay.
2. Biblical interpretation and some scientific studies indicate a young earth.
3. Therefore, radioactive decay must have been accelerated by approximately a factor of one billion during the first three days of creation and during the Flood.
There is no direct evidence provided for accelerated decay. It is inferred solely from combining the evidence for massive decay with the young-earth position. As noted above, the evidence given in this book for a young earth is not based on any reliable techniques and so the argument for accelerated decay crumbles.
I was pointing out that the YEC claims are deceptiveFrom your link:
"Must have been accelerated," indeed.
Creation Science 101: When in doubt, snap your fingers and demand God perform a miracle for your convenience.
...especially when the facts are decidedly inconvenient. Also from your link:
But how many evolution "skeptics" read the fine print?
