“I am not placing my faith in anything other than God. Remember that God speaks to us through his creation as well and it is no less true than the Bible.” [excerpt]

So when you go out and dig up rock, what does it tell you?

It tells you that the earth is millions of years old.

How does it tell you that?

Simple.

Someone told you thats what rocks tell you and you had faith in their word.

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” [excerpt]

Indeed they do.

“You know what the liberals teach in their churches, as do I.” [excerpt]

Its not something I've studied.

“So why do you not allow for good science practiced by good scientists?” [excerpt]

There is no such thing as a good scientist.

“Look all around you -- the drugs doctors use to cure you, the car you drive, the TV you watch -- do you think that all of these things were discovered or invented by clumsy clowns using a "dull tool?"” [excerpt]

I never said 'clumsy clowns'

Drugs are not perfect, cars wear out, and I don't watch TV.

All products of that dull tool known as science.

Dull only because of the fallibility and agendas of the users thereof.

“Yes, you will find flawed results. They are the exception rather than the rule though.” [excerpt]

Wrong, ALL men are flawed.

“You cannot throw all science out the door just because some believe in global warming.” [excerpt]

Neither should you accept all the claims to be science just because sometimes they get it right.

“Some accountants make errors.” [excerpt]

This is not about people making honest mistakes.

Its about people who have a vested interest in denying a Creator, who intentionally distort the facts and make assertions that are completely contrary to the truth.

“But, based on that, would you say that all accountants are shoddy and that we should toss out the science of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?” [excerpt]

I say, throw out the shoddy accountants and keep the useful mathematics.

“What if the professor is a Christian? My first degree was from Baylor. Almost all of my professors were devout, bible-believing Christians. None of them believed in YEC.” [excerpt]

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Matthew 16:22,23

So, was Peter a Christian? (Remember, he denied Christ, three times)

You are aware, arn't you, that there is an organized effort by the atheists to create and promote science curriculum for use in Christian schools and colleges with the express purpose to undermining the Christian faith?

Sounds like they have been rather successful.

Who/what will you place 100% of your faith in?
“In God, of course. But that has nothing to do with the fact that we live in a universe that is around 14.5 billion years old. that's not a new fad fed by politics or government grants. It's a fact that has been proved many, many, many times by people in multiple branches over more than a hundred years. The measurement have become more precise over time, but that's how science works.” [excerpt]

Five words to describe your faith in God, sixty eight to describe your faith in science.

Because thats how science works. (And besides, there's hundreds of years of precedent)
