How can we know how old fossils are?

LadyForCamus don't be perverted. I am a Theist and proud of my creator. Viva La Jesus, hell he's my gardener.

These are standard questions that every new forum member gets asked. What'ya take us for? Some lamoid Christo forum? Answer the question!

Well, your argument: “maybe science is wrong, therefore Jebus” is pretty terrible.

We also don't know for a fact the atmospheric conditions throuhgout history, so even though we can determine how rocks age in the present in our lifetime, we can know that something turns into something over 10 years persea, how can we know it changed to this degree over millions and millions of years not knowing the atmospher? Also if rain causes rock decay and water does, then that alters how old we think it is, in another words, if the water makes it older than it isn't really older. Does this make you think maybe science isn't all that accurate and those supposed evolutionary bones may not be old at all but different creatures just popping up around the same time? How can geology explain this? You brought up some valid points. There's nothing wrong with asking how scientists do things. If they have something other than divine revelation to back them up, they will welcome questions. I may be wrong, but you seem to be proffering Noah's flood as an explanation for the apparent aged look of the rocks of the earth. I'm no scientist, but I know they dom more than just look at a rock and decide that it looks old. Water may account for wear and tear. However, it has nil effect on the decay of carbon 14 atomsin rocks that scientists use to date them. Your argument would hold water (pun excusable) if scientists were just looking at how old rock looks. Carbon 14 are carbon that have 14 neutrons. You must have at least a rudimentary understanding of carbon dating before you decide scientists don't know what they're talking about.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
