There is nothing ad hominem about calling such a yokel a yokel, nor calling him a troll when he trolls.
Present your presuppositions and conclusions about the age of the earth first to suggest your good "faith", or shut up.

More assertions. You didn't identify your assumptions and presuppositions- you just tried to backup (poorly I might add) your ad hominem ways. You fail lol.
P.S. God created in 6 days, not 7. Education matters.

If you ascribe to Radiometric dating you must first assume that the radiometric decay has been constant. You must then also assume that there were no daughter elements present at the formation of the Earth correct?
What other assumptions are you looking for me to provide?
I do assume radiometric dating is relatively constant.
I do assume that there were no daughter elements present at the formation of the Earth.
Ok great! Now we are getting somewhere. Thanks for answering the question. So do you also assume that all natural rates of decay have been constant?
