“No scientist has any alternative or better ‘birth certificate’ for the earth or the universe. All scientific estimates of earth and universe age require a whole lot of assumptions. The key assumption is uniformitarianism, which is atheism disguised as science, because it assumes no miraculous interventions in history.4 Christians have no reason to accept, and every reason to reject, atheistic assumptions about the universe. “
Using a written record that was transcribed from oral traditions is a dubious ‘birth certificate’. But that is beside the point. The age of the universe and the earth itself and all life on earth are determined by theories backed up by observable and repeatable evidence. Relying on stories written in colorful prose based off of old stories does not prove or disprove anything, it only puts question on those who rely upon it to deny scientific information put before them.
Denying science is a bigger folly than denying god. Saying gravity doesn’t exist doesn’t mean you won’t fall off the cliff.

You can’t be talking about creationists. Indeed, gravitational force was discovered by a creationist. So are you saying that the Temple of Darwinist Materialism has finally gotten around to denying the same?
