I don't believe in millions and billions of years of past history. Mind closed.
Fixed.

Originally posted by JS357Well, atheists like sunhouse and googlefudge are always tooting the importance of peer-reviewed papers as the holy grail of science knowledge. What do you think?

Besides, it is easy to say that the peers of a scientist who thinks he has such evidence are just as deluded by Satan as the scientist is. So why bother rejecting on the basis of no peer reviewed evidence. You've already got a slam dunk on this.
Originally posted by RJHindsI won't judge them on how they are treating scientific peer review, but I don't think the scientific peer community's approval of a idea is evidence of its "truth."

Originally posted by JS357It is important to believe the whole truth recorded in the Holy Bible. Jesus believed Genesis, so why shouldn't we? The following Youtube videos may help you understand better than I could.

Generally I think scientific ideas are to be judged on their scientific utility, not their "truth" -- and scientific peers are the ones qualified to make this judgement.
This is not the way ...[text shortened]... what religious difference does it make to people whether they believe the earth is young or old?

The fact you are totally brainwashed by your religion makes you a poster boy for delusion, however.

Originally posted by JS357You are right on that one. So let's just forget it.

Furthermore, your post here was in reply to a post of mine, and you had no comment on it, instead laying on a bunch of links on young ...[text shortened]... en I was commenting on science and truth. I resent that. It is no way to engage in conversation.
Originally posted by RJHindsI dare you to read this link. I know you won't but here it is anyway: How old is the Earth? Let me count the ways it has been calculated by many methods:

Originally posted by RJHindsAppealing to authorities (and in this case I use "authorities" loosely) is not a legitimate way to engage in discussion/debate. It would be one thing if you made an argument for your position, and used these videos as supporting information. But just cutting and pasting links to videos, and not even bothering to summarize the arguments they make or explain why these people should be listened to (much less make your own argument) is intellectually lazy.
