Young Earth Creationism Vs. Science (Statler Waldorf Contd)

[Sam]

C14 was found in diamonds and coal several years ago, to this date no plausible explanation has been given by the secular side as to why it is there. So looks like you’re going to be waiting awhile for the research you like to show up.

That isn't exactly true though is it?

The results of this part of the RATE groups work have been analysed by experts in AMS i.e. the method used, who have found that the results presented are entirely consistent with levels of contamination OBSERVED and normally accounted for. The only issue here is that the RATE group have failed to account for this before presenting their results which obviously altered their conclusions.

You can call them 'silly little stories' all you like Statler, the fact is that similar levels of contamination have been observed. As such research is till ongoing in the area to clarify these issues.

Also, I know that the RATE project lasted eight years and had a budget of millions of dollars (You've mentioned it enough ). You have to accept that a project funded by, consisting of and reviewed by a group of people devoted to destroying a certain theory will always be taken with a healthy level of skepticism. That is the case and here, despite your belief that it is entirely conclusive; other are left with doubts, so its natural to await further study.

Due to your lack of basic scientific knowledge I just made a guess you are not a member of the scientific community. I don’t agree with many of my secular colleagues on the origins debate, but they don’t make the blatant errors you make because they are formally trained in the field.

As I recall Statler, you're an Environmental Scientist. This hardly makes you an expert in evolutionary concepts or in fact, radiometric dating. I appreciate you have some science training but it is arrogant to assume this makes you 'more of an expert' in an unconected field.

Care to explain using your world view why it is right for someone to be humble and wrong for someone to be arrogant?

There are many possible reasons why humility is preferable to arrogance, the benefits to your social standing being primary among those. I can't objectively say that the two position are either good or bad but subjectvely, as personal traits we can make a judgement based on how those charecteristics affect our impression of the individual.

Cheers
