--- Quote from: TicTac on June 18, 2009, 09:18:46 PM ---There is a such thing as carbon dating. --- End quote --- Completely inaccurate, sorry. I'd take the time to explain exactly how carbon dating works, but let's just say it's based on a variety of assumptions that are not always true. You can actually date different parts of a reconstructed animal and get different datings. --- Quote from: Inv3rted on June 18, 2009, 09:32:35 PM ---This website cites its own sources, so click them. http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/bigbangredux.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_microwave_background_radiation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bang http://records.viu.ca/~johnstoi/essays/courtenay1.htm I can find much more, but I'm short on time at the moment. --- End quote --- Please read the second sentence of my post you quoted: --- Quote from: Duckmeister on June 18, 2009, 09:16:04 PM ---And please don't try the "here's a fossil, IT MUST BE 8 BILLION YEARS OLD" tactic for providing "evidence". The "8 billion years" is the interpretation, not the evidence. --- End quote --- |

I did read it. And you obviously did not click on and read the sources I provided. Keep your bias out of the quick skimming next time, eh? |

I've noted that in all of the links you provided they still call it a "theory" not a fact. A theory is still not valid as there is not enough evidence to support it. And as I said in my post, until we build a time machine, we will never know what happened, only guess. |

There is a common misconception, and this needs to be fixed. Theory: # S: (n) theory (a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a specific set of phenomena) "theories can incorporate facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and theory" # S: (n) hypothesis, possibility, theory (a tentative insight into the natural world; a concept that is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain facts or phenomena) "a scientific hypothesis that survives experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted in chemical practices" From: http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=theory |

Stop trying to reject the truth and substitute your own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dating |
