“Okay, try your logic on this. If they’re off by a factor of 10,000 and this fossil is only actually 8,000 years old, and they use exactly the same method to date the Earth and it’s off by the same amount then the Earth is still almost half a million years old.”
This “logic” doesn’t work if both the age of the fossil and the age of the earth have been calculated wrong by evolutionists. Your logic assumes that the fossil is correctly date at 80 million years and that you have any idea of the age of the earth. Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.
How do you know it's wrong if you don't have anything better to measure it with?
If you look into fossil dating, carbon dating is very, very difficult for once-living matter, since living animals uptake old carbon in the food-chain.
That’s why we use strata and other hints to bound any dating. the assumed date is more or less deduced from surroundings after “obviously” wrong dates are ruled out. There are assumptions everywhere (on both sides).
What I rail against is the “statements of fact” like this fossil is 80 M years old, instead of “we have estimated the age of the fossil, given method x to be around YYY in age”.
In fact PROBABLY EVERYBODY is wrong on the date.
I just don’t believe there is viable DNA that’s 80 M Years old.
Nor do I believe in Global Warming.
Nor do I believe in Spontaneous Generation.
Nor do I believe that information arises from chaos (in any form).
sorry, but I am not politically correct, either.
And I have 2 Science degrees, and worked in the industry to 25+ years.
what a heretic.
I have been in the hot dog factory and I don’t eat hot dogs.
