Jmog, since you want to discuss radiometric dating I thought I would send an invitation.

Join up and teach us all about radiometric dating.

Ahhh, but you use the Bible as basis for your beliefs. So rather than starting from scratch and saying "I don't know the answer" you came from a background of "God created the world in 7 days" and fit your scientific beliefs to that theory.

If the Bible were taken out of the equation, no scientist or person on earth would be trying to argue that the earth is 5000 years old, so I don't buy it. Those who say the earth is billions of years old had no bias going in, or at least weren't out to prove that some insane statement in an old book was true.

Oh, but you are so wrong as you don't know me at all. There most definitely was a time I questioned everything and started from a "I have no idea what happened" point of view. When I started to look at the origins questions I most certainly, coming from a scientific background all through college, did NOT start from a Biblical view. You are wrong there.

Bad assumption on your part.

And you are again wrong that there is no "bias" in the scientists behind the other origin theories (evolution, etc).

Please, you know how many "missing link" fossils have been found to be 100% hoaxes due to the person who "found" it wanting to prove evolution so bad they would fake fossils to do it?

If you don't believe that there is a bias in this form of science, then you are blind, next you'll tell me there is no bias in global warming science.
