“There is absolutely ZERO evidence of a 6000 old Earth. None. It was made up by a priest.”

I will ask you the very same question that Mr. Ham asked Mr. Nye in that debate where Mr. Nye got slaughtered.

“Where you there 6000 years ago?”

“If you were not there, how do you know?”

““If you were not there, how do you know?””

I wasn’t with you 6 years ago but I bet you existed then, but, according to that ridiculous and childish logic, you must not have existed because I wasn’t with you 6 years ago.

“Were you there?” is not a scientific argument. It is an intellectually lazy and trite phrase that Ham will repeat over and over, making him look like a fool. If you wish to believe his tripe, then please feel free, but do not pretend that anything he says is in any way related to science.

No human being alive today was there 6000 years ago, but fortunately, others were.

The Mesopotamians, for example, who were actually around from 8000 BC.

And of course, the folks who built Göbekli Tepe in present-day Turkey, built around 9000 BC.

To suggest the Earth is only 6000 years old flies in the face of empirical and verifiable evidence.

I wasn’t at the debate, so I doubt it actually happened.

“If you were not there, how do you know?”

The pursuit of truth in all branches of organized knowledge involves

1) the addition of new truths to the body of settled or established truths already achieved
2) the replacement of less accurate or less comprehensive formulations by better ones
3) the discovery of errors or inadequacies together with the rectification of judgments found erroneous or otherwise at fault
4) the discarding of generalizations - or hypotheses and theories - that have been falsified by negative instances or counterexamples

Quite the epistemology you espouse, Olivia, one cannot know what one has not themselves observed.

Wow. How do you get through the day like that?

What you are now saying is that Ken Ham’s display at the Creation Museum is entirely fictional, as he was not there to observe that domesticated dinosaurs lived with humans.

You cannot have it both ways, Olivia.

“Where [sic]you there 6000 years ago?”

That has nothing (zero) to do with the absence of current, viable "young earth" evidence.

And it is exactly the smarmy, sarcastic sort of arrogant, egotistical rudeness that Ken Ham is famous for resorting to when he knows he can't "prove" his baseless and absurd YEC claims.
