But what would happen if he were to travel back in time and examine Adam and Eve before the fall and was then asked to guess their age?A Physician is a medical practitioner, simply a doctor in the profession of Medical science who is concerned in human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease or injury.
A Paleobiologist is one who investigates field research in Natural Science and findings within palaeontology of current biota and fossils millions of years old to answer questions regarding molecular evolution and the history of life, they use dating techniques such as Amino acid dating that Forensic science also adopts to help estimate the age of any given specimen.

Besides my GP is only interested in on-line dating, not Chronology within Genetics. ;3
theophilus Wrote:Scientists who try to figure out the age of the universe are facing the same situation as the doctor in the second example.Don't even pretend you know anything about what scientists actually do, because you're not just doing a piss-poor job at it, you are talking nonsense. Current theory and observations suggest that the universe is 13.75 ±0.17 billion years old, so while it can't yet give an accurate precise estimation, SCIENCE has provided us with projects such as background radiation measurements compared with the current expansion rate of the universe. I suggest you start by reading up on the Lambda-CDM concordance model and the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, rather than a pile of religious crap written by a bunch of murdering raping nutcases who thought the Earth was flat and every time it rained their sky daddy in the clouds was crying. >.>
