Radiometric dating shows an ancient earth but Young Earth Creationists want to believe that is isn't reliable. Just guess. Well answer me this: [Spirituality & Religion]

These guys are very. very interested in making money. If it didn't work reliably then surely they wouldn't be using it.

Thoughts?

People that still dispute scientific facts are beyond saving. Just let 'em die in their deluded beliefs.

There are definitely people who are too enmeshed in their faith to ever acknowledge where science refutes their beliefs...but for the less entrenched this kind of thing might give them pause.

That's true. I think the willingness to deny science where it contradicts faith is not something we want to be teaching people.
