But I guess one can question religion but cannot question science in some people's eyes (maybe not yours)

No one is saying you cannot question science. That is the fundamental basis of it. Thats what we keep repeating over and over. The questioning of science leads us to the truth.

Also, now that BlvdBrawler has answered your question on how "you know its true", can you give that part of your argument up or are you going to spin in circles getting nowhere again?

its amazing that people take the time to teach people who aren't interested in learning. theyre good with their world, let them live in it. we just have to have a government that needs to isolate/preserve their innocence.

I asked it fine enough to get an answer from you. So it must be that they didnt know.




I understand. My point in that post you quoted was just that if the sun can cause it to fluctuate what else can? Earthquakes? Floods? Fires? To me that would mean it isnt set in stone that the finding is correct if the elements that the (lets say fossil) was found in could affect the radioactive decay. Dont you agree?





Except this finding doesnt contradict my beliefs. And I was skeptic of my beliefs before believing them as I was an atheists at one time when I started learning about other religions. So I've examined my position and continue to do so so Im not led astray.

Its not about "questioning" shyt but you don't even know what you DONT know. Thats the obvious problem with your thinking.

This is PhD/Masters level shyt...and you're just sitting on the couch hoping to understand it all...with NO understanding of even basic chemistry or understanding of physics.

Look at the shyt you're asking breh.

We've GIVEN you the science and the methodology and you're sitting here thinking you're putting US on game.

Yea, definitely. But those things probably (I'm guessing here) don't affect it enough to throw it into a whole other order of magnitude, which is what we're looking for here.

I just meant in general.

I gotcha. And I thought you were specifically referring to me so my mistake.

All that you provided was links while brother came in and brought discussion to the table. Your friends came and threw insults and namecallings around while brother came in and brought discussion. Guess you cant understand the difference?

Look at the shyt you're asking breh.

Must be why guy said that there are environmental factors that can cause things to fluctuate right? Stupid of me to ask that

We've GIVEN you the science and the methodology and you're sitting here thinking you're putting US on game.

Must be you projecting what you believe what going on here to me

You missed the point I and everyone else was making. The world has people like BlvdBrawler that have the knowledge to succeed in these fields. Yes, we are piggybacking on them, but its because their knowledge is something that can be replicated if we put in the time.

No you missed my point breh. My point all along (that even you agreed with) was that people blindly follow science like people blindly follow religion. And this thread was evidence of that.

The major point you're missing is that this same application cannot be applied to religion. You nitpick arguments and then can't grasp the totality of the explanations given. Thats not our problem, thats your problem.

Except you can. But it includes faith in which some refuse to gain. They want someone else to prove it for them and then they'll believe. But it doesnt work like that.

. What I asked you my brethren, is how do you know that the measurements of age are accurate?

theres a tangible process in place which has been tested by scientists. these are the same scientists who have harnessed the energy of the natural world in order to have tangible effects on my life every day.

i thought you were a good poster before, but youre obviously a complete moron. go enjoy your relationship with your invisible space daddy, im done with this shyt

So why would people get mad when I asked how THEY knew if it was accurate or not?

You parroting what may be perceived as a flaw in dating, since no method is perfect AND is acknowledged as the cost of operation by researchers, as a flaw against the entire system.

Not only that, YOU DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS FLAW OPERATES other than it exists and is a point of inquiry.

 

[Everythingg]

Can I give up what point? That people follow science blindly like people blindly follow religion?

Blindly following religion is a sign of ignorance. Blindly following science is not.

You first

So why would people get mad when I asked how THEY knew if it was accurate or not?

Because when we told you "radiometric dating" you moved the goalposts and said shyt like: "oh did you look at their results?" "How do you know their results are accurate?" "Did you do the research?" "Did you crunch the numbers?"

Like...who the fukk do you think you are?

First it was Im asking dumb questions but now its something that is acknowledged by researchers...

Not only that, YOU DONT EVEN UNDERSTAND THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS FLAW OPERATES other than it exists and is a point of inquiry.

And thats what I did. Brought it in and inquired right?

its not a sincere question -- its condescension-- but what makes it ironic is your effortless stupidity. one could tell you to go read a book, but your response will likely be, ive read one book, the good book. and it gives me all the information I need to know. people like you, who believe in simplicity have no grasp of how complicated this world is. all you ask is that we dumb it down for you.
