You’re just not getting this concept. The earth was formed less than 6,000 years ago and everything on it is younger than that. If it dates older, there’s something wrong with your method, your sample, or your technique.

Never considered the possibility that it might be your belief, and not the mountains (literal and figurative) of evidence, that is wrong, eh?
No, YOU'RE not getting the concept. Science works by taking observations and forming a theory from them, not taking a predetermined conclusion and slectively picking and choosing evidence that supports it, ignoring all contradictive evidence.
YOUR method, your sample, or your technique:
The made up numbers (unBiblical, adding to Scripture)of a Catholic Bishop over a hundred years ago. Totally dismissed as invalid by the Catholic church years ago, before they even apologized to long dead Galileo.
As opposed to the cumulative consensus of thousands over more than 1000 years of study and EVIDENCE.
If it dates older, there’s something wrong with your method, your sample, or your technique.
Yes, there's something very wrong with the sample--it's far, far older than you think it is.
Just remember--everyone is out of step but you.
"If it dates older, there’s something wrong with your method, your sample, or your technique."
And they say atheists are closed-minded?
"Don't bother me with facts, my mind is made up!"
“You’re just not getting this concept.”
Oh, we GET the concept.
And it’s an interpretation of your favorite superstition source.
Not a compelling detail.
“The earth was formed less than 6,000 years ago and everything on it is younger than that.”
Yeah, there are trees older than that.
And your source says the sky is solid like metal. So this message is bouncing off of satellites that don’t exist.
“If it dates older, there’s something wrong with your method,”
The weird thing then, is that all the methods tend to give consistent results. They’re all wrong in the same way? Every single one?
And you really can’t just say, ’It’s wrong’ without showing where the methodology errs.
“your sample,”
And again, that would require that ALL the samples are wrong in the exact same way that you cannot show. You’re just butthurt that the results don’t dovetail with your favorite fairy tale.
“or your technique.”
Could you please explain the differences between method and technique? I mean, you’re suggesting my technique might be the only thing wrong OR my method is incorrect? I think you’re just throwing shit against the wall and hoping something sticks.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
