My point has been that Science has be wrong many times in the past. You may have faith in it's accuracy now, that is your mistake to make. I know I cannot convince you, I only hoped you were opened minded enough to look at another theory. But then science has been cursed with closed mined, closed looped people since the beginning.
Your reasons for believing in an old earth have be at least questioned by some of the greatest minds on earth. (But they are not as enlightened as you.) All the forms of aging you have used have been at least found to be flawed. That is a fact, so I admire your faith. (Faith: Believing in something you cannot see or prove).
May your god save your soul, if you believe in that sort of thing.
I suppose there's no way for you to understand this, because you assume others think the way you do. But --
'Science' is not my 'god'. I don't believe that there is such a thing as a 'god' in the sense that you mean it. I don't believe that 'science' or 'scientists' are inerrantly wrong. I assume that, in fact, everything we *think* we know is certainly not completely correct. In fact, I believe that the claim that something -- anything -- is 'inerrantly wrong without question', like people claim about the bible, or the Koran, is the first sign that a person is not thinking critically.
I question everything, and then try and draw conclusions as to what is the most likely given current data.
You're under a serious misconception if you think 'science' is a 'god' to people who don't have a 'god' at all . . . and perhaps that's the beginnings of your misunderstanding of science.
Perhaps the best way to phrase it for you: it's the 'scientific method' that I subscribe to, not 'the opinion of scientists'.
