| ps3-sales! said: No this has been going great!!! I only said that so there was no bashing, and their hasn't been. I've read all of the comments and opinions and it's facinating to see how others think about this topic. As for the Carbon/radiometric dating argument: I'm not a sponge. I don't just suck up all the information given to me and spew them back at people as facts. I like to do my own research mixed in with a little common sense here and there. I realize that you can approximate the age of a rock based on layers of earth fading away caused by erosion. But nobody will ever convince me that you can say that a certain rock or fossil is 65 million years old. What makes 60 million different from 80 million? They are all estimating. They don't know exactly. So always take the scientist's with a grain of salt. |
Even if the dating were off by a few million years, that's still far older than the Bible suggests it is, right?
And as noted, tehre are several methods to date things. Whether erosion was one of the older and first methods used. It's a lot more high tech now. And with several different methods all concluding approximately same thing, it's hard to ignore that data or brush it off.
Note how scientists already use date ranges. They don't say 65,632,129 years and 3 months. They use "65 million years ago" as the accepted date range that all known methods of date verification have concluded. Keep in mind, 1 million years is still a very huge range. So 65 million to 65, 999,999 and 12 months gives them a lot of range to work with.
Another thing to think about. It's not like some scientists said, "I want dinosaurs to have died out 65 million years ago. Let's figure out a test to confirm that". Instead they took methods and means that were already established to come up with that date. My point is they didn't just pick a date they wanted first like a lot of people think they did.
