Secondly, can you prove the bolded part because there isn't a scientist whom has yet.
I think your statement that no scientist "has yet" is simply wrong. Many scientist did prove it in so many different ways that you cannot keep count. The only way that the statement could be true was if a truly omnipotent god did his best to create a perfect illusion of our earth being 6 billion years old.
Otherwise you just have to look at radiology (isotopes with known decay times that act as a "clock"), DNA (changes in DNA that accumulate over generation that point to millions of generations of for example crocodiles), Palaeontology (interestingly in the "4000" years there have been dozens of distinct environments for example in Montana that lie above each other), biology (the famous evolution), cosmology (planets are without doubt billions of years old we see far away planets as they were billions of years ago), geology (plate tectonic for example).
And all of these completely different areas of science point to ONE thing, the earth is billions of years old and animals have lived on it for (a couple less) billions of years.
Some creationists putting their fingers in their ear and saying its not true doesn't count as a rebuttal.
A rule in a debate; respect everyone's opinion. If you say "your belief is idiotic, why should I respect it?"
That's true in most cases but there are simply believes that are well idiotic, so you should be able to say that. For example if Tom Cruise believes that the earth is filled with souls of people who have been dumped in volcanoes by space ships looking like DC10s on behalf of the evil galactic ruler Xenu. (Yes scientologists really believe this and Ron hubbert sucks as a science fiction writer) I feel empowered to say this belief is idiotic and I won't respect it thank you.
