Why would we have to take demonstrable facts on faith?
Yet, when you cross the street, or take an airplane flight your faith is in the the "evidence" and the "facts," and not in the Word of God.
You seems to think I need to deeply study something before not believing it.
I was really wondering how one can calibrate something over a period of a few years that is designed to measure billions.
My first thought would be to rethink the equipment and methods behind the dating
You can demonstrate that something is billions of years old without any faith in the means by which you demonstrated it?
The facts are the evidence. Why do you have to run away from the facts in order to still believe in the Bible?
So you have no faith in the facts? Really?
Insults now?
If you hold what scientists call evidence over God's Word, that is on you.
I worship God and believe what He says. If you find worshipping God to be idolatry, I think you're confused as to what that means.
The things you call facts are only things in which you have faith. They seem factual to you, I'm sure.
I can demonstrate that a rock is billions of years old using the facts.
What facts do you have demonstrating that the Earth is 6,000 years old?
The Bible was intended to be a guide on our spiritual path to God and our relationship with Him..not a text book on the physical world.
Did you not say earlier that you a some kind of scientist?
If you are,what we are asking for should pose no problem for you..
Tell us about the physical processes involved.
With all due respect, you're putting words in my mouth. I said nothing of the kind, nor do I think that. My only question was what you feel the problem with dating methods are. It seems to just come down to your incredulity on the matter, and not any specific flaw in the systems - as in 'It can't be done because I don't see how it can be done'. That's an argument from incredulity.
Not all dating techique can be used to measure things billions. Are you okay with techniques that measure shorter lengths of time, say, in the tens of thousands?
How? In what way? And if you do rethink and come to the conclusion that you're getting accurate results, what then?
You can demonstrate that something is billions of years old without any faith in the means by which you demonstrated it?
The Bible was intended as an history as well.
I am not a scientist.
I don't see how incorrect results could be accurate.
And tens of thousands? No. I'd be skeptical of something that says they could accurately date in the hundreds without turning to recorded history for authentication.
In whose means of measuring you have faith...
in your mind
What do you men "believing God"? They decided not to believe a book written by dyspetic sheep herders that has hundreds of self contradictions in it and if anything they decided to believe what God actually wrote.
