TM,
More sweeping statements! How did they date the rocks???? I've already provided information in relation to the assumptions and unknowable variables used by various dating methods and you keep ignoring them only the tell me that these flawed dating methods "prove" the old-age of the earth!If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations...This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. John Adams

Nor can it even tell us what shape Jesus' cross is which would be a truly devastating thing to christians around the world if he was crucified on an I or X and they've been criss-crossing a t all along.If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Originally posted by Vangelovski View PostTM, do you have any evidence to support anything you've just said? Can you even explain the relevance of the point you made about the cross? Why does it matter? What does that prove/disprove? Or is it all just 'your opinion'?
And why does it matter about the cross? Considering how relevant it is to Christians all around the world who make this sign on good "faith" that its t shaped what a disappointment it would be if the shape of the cross was not a t.
Can you provide evidence from the bible that the cross jesus was crucified on was t shaped?Slayer Of The Modern "greek" Myth!!!

The "sign of the cross" has nothing to do with Christianity - its faith in Christ. The shape of the cross is irrelevant! Christs crucifixion is the whole point, not whether the cross was a t, T or X!If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Originally posted by Vangelovski View PostThe pages you provided did not address anything to do with the flaws in dating methods and in particular radiometric dating that Agin refers to. How can Agin be so sure that his numbers are right considering the unknowable variables and the assumptions that are used for radiometric dating!?!?!?!?!?

You cant use Science to prove the existance of God.
It would be naive to think that is even possible. I like the concept of using Occam's Razor to this topic. Although the razor can be used to disprove and prove the existance of God, I prefer the use of the latter.
Its just more simplistic.
William of Ockham says the following:
“only faith gives us access to theological truths. The ways of God are not open to reason, for God has freely chosen to create a world and establish a way of salvation within it apart from any necessary laws that human logic or rationality can uncover"
I agree with his statement. To try and figure this out is like the parable with the kid sitting on the beachside desperatly trying to empty out the ocean into a small hole he dug out in the sand. Its simply not going to happen.
