Something for Young Earth Creationists to consider:
Nowhere in the Bible is the age of the Earth mentioned. Not 6,000 years, not 10,000 years. There's is no mention at all. That young age comes from a MAN; A fallible, mortal man called Bishop Usher who did what he reckoned were some good calculations to get it.
So when you're saying that science like evolution, geology or physics cannot disprove God's word...remember that the age of the earth is NOT God's word. It's MAN's word.

Well that's and i don't personally think any god had anything to do with it but in the context of this PSA, i'm just pointing out that creationist denial of science on the basis that it contradicts god's word is misplaced.
You are once again looking at science being the only form of truth, you are a typical American with a narrow mind who can’t seem to see that there is more than one way to express truth. What on earth do they teach you in those benighted places they call education? @Pikachu
@Mathers Science is a [u]neutral method[/u]. Collecting evidence then designing and testing models. It’s very effective winnowing out what is false. You don’t like science but that doesn’t stop you from benefiting from the results everyday.
The ball is now in your court. You stated there are other ways, equal or better, to find the truth that get ignored. Name them. What are steps of methodology for each? The prerequisites? Is there math involved?
You are of course a complete disaster when you talk about truth as it’s science at the only way to truth. Sciences applicable in some cases but not in every case. Mozart symphonies are very beautiful which is a true statement but it’s science is not the way to find out.
Science cannot tell you whether you love someone or not@BlueSkyKing
@Mathers When did anyone science can explain everything? Of course science can’t be applied to the individual appreciation of music and other arts. There are people that don’t like Mozart or the genre. Some only like certain Shakespeare plays, if any.
The word science is not always a noun, it’s also a verb. Science can be conducted only on evidence that is detectable, measurable, and testable. Detecting music appreciation or other emotions, probable. Actually measure them? No. Design and test models? No. Can’t conduct science.

If I was looking for truth I wouldn’t go to Professor Richard Dawkins . Dawkins believes in the Multiverse of which there is absolutely no proof@BlueSkyKing
