So you think. People also had evidence that protiens carried our genetic material at one point and that atoms were the smallest particle. But we know better now. All I'm saying is you can't say its absolute untill proven and it takes a lot to prove something.

Also, even with the dating it still doesn't disprove religion. Just certain views religions has held at one point (just like science has done to itself so many times before)

And I'm not religious. I love science and truth (biochem major with a minor in philosophy). But I'm not going to be so quick to say "this disproves that or this proves it"

And you'll never hear me say science disrpoves God.  Only it changes perceptions and interpretations.

You are correct that newer information changes previously held scientific data.  But that's also the point of science.  By design it is supposed to be constantly updated.  You could say that science is merely a momentary snapshot of accumulated data.

But as noted by Flash Gordon, even if they were off a little bit, it's not likely that all methods are off by 4.8 billion years....or 65 million (depending on what you are dating)

That's good. It's just that people love to use science as absolute truth and grasp to what the evidence points to... until we observe that view was wrong and then on to the next theory to be absolutely true. (Obviously people won't say science is absolute truth but if you observe how they talk they usually don't acknowledge the possibility of their views or beliefs to be wrong just like religions due)

As for Flash Gordon's statement, he acknowledges science will be off sometimes... yet he still seems to believe it... funny how usually those people don't allow the same to religion.
