Okay, and now we're going to play a little game called "what isn't science?"
For starters, this isn't science:
creation.com Wrote:By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record.
This is what we call a dishonest presupposition, or an agenda: it means I don't have to take seriously anything coming out of this source, and you shouldn't either, because they've admitted they're only accepting findings that prove their position and not mainstream science.
This also isn't science:
icr Wrote:We believe God has raised up ICR to spearhead Biblical Christianity's defense against the godless dogma of evolutionary humanism.
Again, an agenda from a source that can't even get accredited, and isn't a scientific organization. Why would I take this seriously?
Would you accept the findings of an organization that proudly espoused an anti-theistic bias right on their website, in plain english? I doubt it.

At the moment, both claims have the same level of evidence. Care to add some more to yours?
Yes, they (almost) do.
No, not really. I just like mine better.
So, are you interested in what is true, or what you want to believe?
