Now this is ironic, the self-proclaimed verificationist is now defending the merits of a dating method that is founded upon unverifiable assumptions. Whether an assumption is verifiable or not is largely dependent upon what sort of assumption we are dealing with. Basing your entire view of the history of the Earth on methods that are founded upon unverifiable assumptions and assumptions that appear to be downright false is not rational.

There are not enough trials in order to fix neutral mutations in a population through genetic drift, argue for the impossible all you want but it doesn’t make it anymore possible. Trust me Rhythm, my mental concept of your knowledge definitely errors on the side of you knowing more than you do in reality; I am a rather gracious person when it comes to that sort of thing.

This excuse carries the foul stench of all being rather too convenient for you.
