There is no ambiguity about it YEC sites engage in straight out lies about science which is their stock in trade.
1) the earth is old, and
2) that it is old cannot be attributed to "evolutionary dating methods", since the conclusion that the earth is old predates the theory of evolution.
Yes, the earth is old and with history,
You would think with an "embedded age" view (the rocks were built to intentionally deceive scientific methods) an attack on scientific dating would be unneeded. Go figure.There is no ambiguity about it YEC sites engage in straight out lies about science which is their stock in trade.
You would think with an "embedded age" view ... an attack on scientific dating would be unneeded.
Go figure.
I dunno .. try: gross misrepresentations, by way of major omissions, through admissions of deliberate and willful ignorance, might create the impression of an attack in any reasonable thinking average human.Why did you call it an "attack" though?
I had a look at the video and no surprises these YEC characters just can’t resist lying about mainstream science.You would think with an "embedded age" view (the rocks were built to intentionally deceive scientific methods) an attack on scientific dating would be unneeded. Go figure.
Would you know it if they weren't lying?
Does misinformed equate to lying?
In addition, what happens if we are informed, but refuse to accept the information?
Remember Frances Kelsey?
And misinformed does become lying when the misinformed has been corrected on their incorrect information multiple times and refuses to learn.
Need to repent, do they?
I uncovered the OP for a "peek" and saw the AiG indent on the video. AiG's view of god is not one that would lay false clues to "embed" an age, so instead they attack the methods and science that destroys their view (radiometric dating, geologic column, DNA similarity of humans and other great apes, etc.) as they must if they are to be a "scientific" YEC ministry.I had a look at the video and no surprises these YEC characters just can’t resist lying about mainstream science.
The character with the smug look on his face going on about scientists cherry picking data is probably all too aware he is engaging in the same behaviour he is accusing scientists of.
The "appearance of age" (or embedded age, I care not what they call it) ...

Your science doesn’t destroy a YEC view (radiometric dating, geologic column, DNA similarity of humans and other great apes, etc.). Radiometric dating works fine when the starting ratio is known, not assumed. It's great when Carbon-14 shows thousands rather than millions of years. The geologic column is helpful in giving names to all the sedimentary layers —all of them laid down with a lot of water and a lot heat (i.e. cataclysmic flood, per chance?)— long enough to form seperate layers, quick enough to prevent erosion between layer boundaries. Every software designer (i.e. intelligent designer) reuses code whenever possible to reduce maintenance. And once you get a coded function working efficiently, there is little that can be done to make it better -- nor any need to make it different.
Your view of cosmology, geology and biology is rather archaic.
Nor can a cataclysmic flood explain other geological features around the globe. One case in point that's in my neighborhood, the Cascade Volcanic Arc which is the result of plate subduction.And a cataclysmic flood cannot explain the geological layers at all, since their composition in no way makes sense with a flood.
If you think you have a better way to estimate the ages of things, why don't you do it? It's easy to sit on the sidelines and talk trash about the professionals who are actually in the game, but it never accomplishes anything.Your science doesn’t destroy a YEC view (radiometric dating, geologic column, DNA similarity of humans and other great apes, etc.).

So if you have a better method, then let's see it.
Ok.I'll accept those ages and still say the earth was created in 4004 BC.
Why? To what end?(As well as still talk trash about the professionals who are actually in the game.)
