"It is the Assumptions and Interpretations made by Evolutionists that Creationists have no faith in.""The folks who developed these forms of radiometric dating are nuclear physicists and nuclear chemists.
Are they all "evilutionists" too, and so automatically not to be trusted?
Or is it only those scientists who come up with facts and methods inconvenient to creationism that are selected as "evilutionists"?"
" Methodological naturalism is a philosophical rule used by scientists."[excerpt]
"Evilutionists" submit their samples to laboratories for dating. They do not do that dating themselves, as they are practicing vastly different fields. For example, all of my radiocarbon dates go to Beta Analytic in Florida for processing.
Science, as shown in post 293, is based on Methodological Naturalism:
" Methodological naturalism is a philosophical rule used by scientists."[excerpt]
Methodological Naturalism is based on dogmatic assumptions that, among other things, there is no God.
Scientists Interpret the available evidence according to Methodological Naturalism.
It is these Atheistic assumptions being applied to science that YEC's have a beef with.
False (as usual). Otherwise all scientists would have to be atheists, which is a ridiculous claim.
And YECs have a problem with everything about science, because you can't pick and choose the results you like and discard the results you don't like. The earth is far older than 6,000 years and there's nothing the YECs can do about it other than denial of both the results and the methods of science. And the reasons they come up with for denying science are generally both hilarious and pathetic. One classic -- "the second law of thermal documents" will live in internet infamy forever!
Science is based on a working assumption of naturalism. This assumes that whatever gods there may be do not spend all their time diddling with nature, and that the scientific method can thereby discern the regularities of nature. In this they are joined by most recent popes and probably the vast majority of Christians. It is only a small percentage of fundamentalists who have a problem with science and its findings.
