    Has to disagree a little. There are very little, saying none. evidence that in any way supports 'young earth' and 'six day' theory. Quite contrary, there are masssive evidences that contradicts that 'young earth' and 'six day' theory should bee taken seriously.

      The lifetime of the proton.

      I'm sure with only a little digging, there are a few thousand more one could identify.
      actually, we know that the standard model is flat out wrong, and doesn't coincide with experiment and other theories (GR)

      it does a very good job at explaining things at certain energies though

          Nah, I think that I got caught wrong in some of the negations . Can't belive that it may be the influence of a splash or two of red wine from Piemonte (wait a second - yes, I blame those italians from Piemonte !!!! )

              You haven't explained how this prevent a god to influence the spirit of mankind as it is evidenced in several books.

                As for Phantom Menace, no I'm not BUYING it but it's not too much to pay to rent it though.

                    No I haven't indeed, because such an argument doesn't exist. It is impossible to prove or disprove God's existence. Anyone trying to say otherwise is full of it.

                        It's true that science doesn't answer the why questions. Science only works with units, equations, and processes - no meaning is involved. Nor should it be.

                        Otherwise you'd just go mad.

                          If radiometric dating indicates otherwise, this would mean that YEC is "disproved." Or falsified, to be more precise.

                              wrong

                              it means that the evidence is in favor of different theories

                              you can't disprove something, in particular with observations

                              for example.. perhaps things have changed in the last 6k years including decay rates..

                              YEC is heavily unfavored, but it is not disproved

                              of course, science does not teach about all the unfavored theories.. only about the favored ones

                              technology has increased a lot by following this methodology

                              (not arguing that is the case.. just saying why, partifcularly for observational science, it isn't proved/disproved)

                              (you can't prove or disprove anything, really, in science)

                                Can't agree with that. In 1957, Yang Chen Ning and Lee Tsung-Dao received the Nobel Prize in physics for overthrowing the "absolute" law of parity conservation.

                                You realise that would require some drastic changes in fundamental laws of nature, which, somehow, doesn't show up elsewhere.

                                Scientific models don't change data to fit themselves, unlike religious dogma.

                                Not disproved, just falsified.

                                On second thought, what am I saying? Only theories can be falsified. YEC isn't a theory. It isn't even a hypothesis. It's rubbish.

                                Nevermind.
