You and I have a very different definition of the word "scientific".

I will assume that you believe that the universe is only 6000 years old.
Since all of the evidence collected by science shows the it is much, much older, how do you explain the apparent discrepancy.
And in the absence of evidence to the contrary the only assumption you can make is that universal constants( lightspeed etc) are constant.
Simple, Satan Done it, and dating methods that help determine its age don't work.

Come on Theo, defend your position.
Or do you just start threads and then bugger off?

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

No, you haven't.
P.s I've seen all of the creationist "scientific evidence" against Evolution, it isn't.

The Athenians famously asked the Oracle of Delphi what to do about the Persians bearing down on them. They were told to stand behind their wooden wall. Some interpreted this to mean the palisade on top of the Acropolis which was quickly breached by Persian soldiers who killed them and burned the Acropolis. After the Battle of Salamis where the Athenian navy trounced the Persians everyone "understood" that the Oracle meant the "wooden wall of ships." Should we now believe in Apollo because of this "miracle?"
Maybe sacrifice a goat or two, Theo?
