The dating process is still being refined as we speak, and as far as I'm concerned that's my justification for accepting practical meaningful knowledge whereas absolute knowledge is unattainable in any instance.
Quote:1. What's your justification for this?Quote:How old do you think the earth is?Between 6000 and 7000 years.
2. What evidence do you have to support this?
3. You criticise dating-techniques yet why can't you give an exact measurement yourself?
You just tried to make an absolute statement that there is not such thing as absolutes. I love it when you guys use self-refuting logic.
I have not presented any evidence becaause this thread is designed to get at the heart of Old-Earth assumptions. Once we can all be intellecutally honest about the assumptions and the faith that goes itno the Old-Eearth position then we can finally begin to dance. I know what I am doing.

Satan does not have angels, and they didn't fall to any other planet. Maybe your guys' problem with Christianity is that you don't know what Christianity is?
