That’s just it though, the facts of evolution are not facts. It too is subject to ones belief.

What kind of mindset are you comiing from?

Are you pretending that the fossil record doesn't exist?

Perhaps that the methods of dating rocks and fossils is false?

Those are FACTS.

You need to disprove them before you claim they are merely beliefs, unless your whole life is some sort of weird belief and you don't care about facts.

How do they date the fossils? By the sediment. How do they date the sediment? By the fossils. Looks like a pretty good circle of messed up logic to me.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as the fossil record, except for that set of fossils that has been discovered and given a label by people.

A record is a human writing of some sort. Fossils are not dug up with written labels detailing what they are and when they existed already attached to them. Dates and classifactions of fossils are not the evidence, they are interpretations of the physical evidence.

Facts refer to real occurrences. or events and can only be true. So how varying interpretations of physical evidence such as discordant dating of fossils could only be true is beyond me. It sure doesn't sound like science.

Cordially,
