How could you? It is kind of like expecting DOS 3.0 to perform at the same level as Windows 7.
Then you would have no problem coming to Kentucky and letting a geologist such as myself take you on a day tour of the geology of our fine state so I can show you how utterly and completely wrong you are.
You can't date rock.
Indeed, I prefer to date women. But I can also use the same mathematics that is used to operate nuclear reactors to determine the absolute date of igneous rocks. And relative dating is a very straight forward enough thing to perform. But none of this addresses the real issue. And that is that you appear to have no education or experience whatsoever to come to the conclusion that rocks can't be dated or that evolution is not real science. I am offering you the chance to turn that around by taking you into the field and showing you how it is done. So what do you say, grasshopper? Want put your money where your mouth is? Take me up on my challenge? Or are you just blowing more creationist smoke?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
