No one mentioned "70k year trees." Dendrochronology has been used to calibrate radiocarbon dating for items a few thousand years old or younger. Of course you knew that, but you were shooting for hyperbole, which is the hallmark of creationists who know they have nothing else. And, if you'd actually done ANY research on ice cores, you'd have learned they they go back more than three-quarters of a million years, and have also been used to calibrate radiometric dating.

But hey, I've learned to expect invincible ignorance from you.

What you have are stories based on pretty interesting evidence. Ultimately, they are just stories--evolutionists, cosmologists, archeologists--spinners of plausible tales. Not science.

They have no control mechanisms, no double-blinds, no reproducibility. They serve no practical purpose except entertainment. What they also serve on your evo threads is a simple anti-religious agenda for the OC-pathology set.

Whenever a real threat to free enquiry and science comes along, the evos show little interest.
