But, just so I can be sure, what's your degree in?

Last I checked, it was in mathematics.

And remember, he knows more than you do.

That's right! Because I've got a Master's degree!

In science!

Instead of sniffing my credentials, why not just respond to the content? Or is it ad hominem hour again? Did I miss the announcement?

I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for some sort of evidence that maybe you know what you are talking about and didn't just pick up a few scientific words from some creationist website. Was there an ad hominem attack in anything I said?

And, no, I don't know the assumptions behind exponential decay and radiometric dating. Care to make your point regarding these assumptions, and is your point based on mathematics or physics? If based on mathematics, I will assign it more credibility than if based on physics. If based on physics, I'll ask the opinion of Physicist or 1/1,000,000th% and then compare the answers before making a decision on whom I believe to be right.

Maybe its because I'm a lawyer, but I do like to weigh the credibility of the evidence and the experts offering it. And unlike a judge, I admit prejudice and it lies with the non-creationists.
