On the one hand you have geologists with their radiometric dating technology, and they say 4.5 billion years. On the other hand you have some religious folk who say 12 days, or 6K years, or whatever.

Man, talk about bias & motivation. Take a look again what you just wrote. (It's well respected highly intelligent geologists, who btw are not to be questioned because of their superior intelliegence VS. some brain dead religious folk that don't know squat.)

Well, since I have lived longer than 12 days, I would immediately dispell the 12 day old theory. Other than that, what I've seen so far, I think the coin toss would be as good method as any.

That's not what he said. He said one side has physical, hard evidence (the geologists) and the other side does not (the religious folk). He never called anyone "brain dead." You said that. He wanted to know how YOU make a determination who is right -- the folks with the evidence, or the folks with the words.

I think you misunderstood me. Perhaps I wasn't sufficiently clear in my earlier post. What I intended to convey to you was that one group (geologists) has evidence, which you can verify for yourself if you care to do so. The other group has no evidence, other than some ancient and venerable writings, the sources of which are not available for verification.

So, now that I've explained the two alternatives -- verifiable evidence versus no verifiable evidence -- how do you decide which group to go with? Or is a coin toss still your favored technique?
