back to the flood, of course, before the flood. I would say everything was destroyed, so we can only guess. which is what science tries to do.
ok, I can see the logic in that. Science, then, is useless for dating things before the flood.

what dates does one arrive at using those?

yes, Science would be right, in saying the world is of age.. But "faith" may be right in saying the actually age of the earth may be young.
ie, the earth was created in its origional state "AGED"
I've been looking at some young-earth creationist websites, and noticed that a lot of time is spent showing that the conventional dates for rocks and stuff is wrong, that the earth is much younger.
but the dates talked about don't always support a 6,000 year old earth.
from Library: Radio-Carbon Dating Proves a Young Earth
"For example, a rock aged by two different scientists using the most advanced radiometric technique was reported to be 10,000 years old by one scientist. The other scientist aged the same rock at several billion years."
is the 10,000 reliable?
what dates are arrived at with proper carbon-dating etc?
Alpha has to be a constant for the universe to exist.... one scientist found that billions of years ago alpha was smaller.
which only leaves us with scripture.
which is why many today are changing their view to a young earth..
I used to believe in a Gap theory between gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2, it explained why science sees the world old. and explains why. We went to interpret the bible to fit science which I believe was a mistake..
Today many christian scientists are reverting to a Young Earth.. and the literal interpretation of Gods words, without trying to read somethign which is not there into it.
I really doesn't know of a site, but here's video of someone that knows a lot about and the method that they uses to come up with these speculations.

maybe I was reading the young earth sites with the wrong idea, then... maybe they're not saying science points to a young earth, maybe they're saying science can't be trusted for the age of the earth.
Yes, I can assume that. I can assume that from your questions, (since all the answers you ask are easy enough to find with a simple online search) and the fact that you can't define a day even after reading the first chapter in the book. It's defined right in it. So, sure I can assume, and back up my assumptions.Okay I admit my typo 4th day not 3rd...
However,, it's insulting the assumptions and personal attacks made about me.
You can't assume I haven't done research or if you present a logically explanation I would not listen.
I haven't been on here in a while but I would hope there are some who will attest to my character and willingness to fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I apologize if my statements don't make sense to you Tintin but what I was challenging was the commonly held scientific beliefs of traditional Judiasm and some Christians.
Some people claim the Bible says the Earth is flat and the center of the universe.
I simply state they are mistaken.
I have read cases where people claim that the Bible says the Earth is 6000 years old..I don't find it convincing.
If you can show me reasoning using the Bible, I am willing to look at it.
However, most just believe because their pastor told them so.
I'm on a 'puter that doesn't play youtube... can you summarize the vid, plz?
Not sure which ones you went to.. But yeah, Maybe your right, I am going to the creation museum in Cincinatti Ohio this saturday, It was there where I went about 5 years ago, and questioned alot of my views, and started my way to where I am now.
This scientist explain all of the dating methods that is out there and how incorrect they are. He proves that in this video that the earth is about the age that the Bible says it is. His name is Bruce Malone, and maybe you can searched the web that speak of his evidences of how old the earth is..
thanks... so the scientist is in the "science is unreliable for dating the earth" group.
what dates does a smaller alpha yield?
are there any "science-y" methods that can be trusted? would you then be in the 'science is useless in dating the earth' camp?
