Oh, I see that you get to determine what satisfies and what does not.

Sorry, but past experience w/ evolutionists has demonstrated the importance of nailing down the standards of judgement for 'satisy' before proceeding.

You lika da game, no?

Except that I was talking about past experience of CREATIONISTS. It was (real) Creationist Scientists who established that the earth is ancient and that there was no global flood. Whatever you may happen to think of their conclusions in retrospect, this is an historical FACT. The young earth was dead in professional science while Darwin was still in knee-pants.

Heck, even the fundamentalist antievolutionists of the 1920s were overwhelmingly old earth creationists! YEC was only revived as a significant view (among fundamentalists and evangelicals; not within science) by Henry Morris and John Whitcomb with the publication of the The Genesis Flood in the 1960's. And as Morris would later affirm:

The only way we can determine the true age of the earth is for God to tell us what it is. And since he has told us, very plainly, in the Holy Scriptures that it is several thousand years in age, and no more, that ought to settle all basic questions of terrestrial chronology.

(I've pulled the quote above from the web, cited as from The Remarkable Birth of Planet Earth, 1972, page 94. I have this book in my library and have that quote marked, so if anybody should have trouble finding it just let me know. I don't like to trust other people's citations, but I'm too lazy to dig the book out unless I need to!)
