This is the statement you posted to me: Please provide the method of dating for these facts you present (also some sources please). The method had better be in-fallible else your accusations of lucidity will represent you more than anyone

It is at best rather brusque and acerbic! And you were trying to question my 'lucidity.'

Well, i provided answers and proof to you....unless you want to say the information i sent you is false!

Now i await proof (and i mean proof not just mere faith) for your side of the story on the Earth being at least 6000years old (when evidence shows it is AT LEAST 4.5 billion years old, and that humans started appearing long before your 6000 year parameter!).

And please do not just state biblical verse...after all you DEMANDED proof for me. And if you start basing your proof on words written ages ago i may be forced tograb my copy of Grimms Fairy Tales and try to sell you on the existence of the Lil' Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf!

Your methods of measurement have been proven to be fallible. Especially Carbon dating, which most older artifacts were measured by. So your ascertains of older Civilizations are speculation or Theory at best. Not proof.

You are running the age old play of turning the burden of proof on me. When I have made no claims of absolute scientific fact. Yet I have not heard one you on the Old earth side admit that you have only theory as well. Sure you may have some data that lends to your argument, it is still far from scientific fact though.

You want to play the burden of proof game? Prove God does not exist. Will you apply the scientific method and conclude that my claim cannot be scientific fact?

1. OBSERVATION

2. EXPERIMENTATION

3. REPRODUCTION

4. FALSIFICATION

You would be right I cannot prove it beyond a scientific doubt.

Now apply the scientific method to Old Earth/Macroevolution - same answer.

Thankfully my existence does not derive it's meaning from scientific calculation and theory. If it were, I would be nothing but star dust with no bind to morality and no hope of further exsistance beyond energy.
