    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    Yeah right, just like I need to know the basis of the Big Bang to talk evolution? No way.

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    A rock can be dated by radiometric dating, but not most fossils. They are embedded in rock so it makes sense to date the surrounding rock. Radiometric dating is cross-checked by comparing it to estimates of the strata. marke tries to create a false circularity here. Circular reasoning is...

    Is the Desert just another Ocean?

    You might be thinking of the God of the old testament, not Jesus.

    Is the Desert just another Ocean?

    I've had some doubts since Trump's election. A Democratic Republic with three branches of government and an executive cabinet (with power to remove a President) can weed out the Wackos but it is too slow for my taste.

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    This is only an outline of an explanation. Which cannot be safely assumed? What starting conditions, besides no material with a particular isotope, are limiting? Constant decay rates can be assumed when there is no evidence of conditions that would alter it. Each isotope decays uniformly...

    He should run a campaign and see if He is elected.

    The results of radiometric dating is good support. Why do you think it is unreliable?

    Hooray For Pedophilia!

    The phrase does not forgive you from making a bad interpretation. My words cannot be seen to even indirectly lead to the implication you made. Your link is worthless beyond its historical value. Medical science like all science is forever improving. The medical understanding of homosexuality...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    I gave you a list of authors and that was horrible and off topic. You give me one and that is entirely appropriate? Are you trying to be consistent? Do you even know what being consistent means? I am trying to conform to YOUR earlier requirements and discuss the science rather than name...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    A flood for a year should show a signature sedimentary layer at a consistent time across the earth and a mass die out in the same layer. No such thing has been found. Instead we see sedimentary layers accumulated over time. Predicably lower layers have fossil specimens of forms of earlier...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    That is a good introductory sentence. You need to fill in the details and layer in the analysis. Your work has just begun. Fossilizing your head might be the best way for us to get some knowledge out of it. You need to explain how and why we should understand them as consistent first. Then I...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    No need to repeat off topic comments. Progress! Nice! Explain this. There is absolutely no evidence of a global flood. We see floods locally via geological analysis, but nothing widespread. What is the evidence of large flood regions? Yes! Speak of the contrary evidence AND debunk the...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    Yes- logic is my second language and English is my first. You are proficient in neither. You are ignorantly or willfully using the wrong definition of the word theory despite the context being clear. Stop that.

    Are Democrats patriotic?

    The fact that a high percentage of women stated they would exit the country accounts for much of the party differences. Woman are democrats more frequently than they are republican. Do you all encourage woman to stay and fight?

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    We are discussing what is necessary and sufficient, not what is best. Fossils are observed and their location and surroundings recorded. DNA sequences are observed and compared. To a logical person, macroevalution can be supported or rejected based on these observations. You cannot see because...

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    I wouldn't hurt to have a basic understanding of evolution and NOT JUST defer to experts. People have legit questions about it and need a response or to them their ignorance becomes proof that evolution could not have happened.

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    Evidence may modify a theory, but it rarely falsifies one as a whole body of evidence will need to be explained in a different light to do so. Seemingly contradictory evidence improves a theory usually.

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    It falsifies hypotheses in such a way that a remaining hypothesis becomes a supported conclusion. Multiple conclusions that converge from different angles becomes a theory. Stripe is an inartful dodger.

    How does one determine, using the scientific method, that the earth is billions of years old?

    You are one to talk. You are always about a monologue rather than a dialog. Otherwise you would get pinned down right quick. We are talking about conclusions based on empiricism. Not a fortune teller drawing conclusions from her marks demeanor. Keep focused. True. It has become a theory...
