Sandy: "Radiometric dating proves that the Earth is much older than a few thousand years."
Rocky: "Were you aware that the scientists stack the deck by cherry-picking the dates that they want and throwing out all the dates that disagree with their favorite theories?"
The dates that are determined by radiometric dating are routinely discarded if they are not what was expected. This is a huge problem, but students aren't informed of these problems until they are so thoroughly brainwashed that they are willing to accept just about anything as evidence for evolution. http://creation.com/flaws-in-dating-the-earth-as-ancient - http://creation.com/radioactive-dating-anomalies
Sandy: "There is not scientific Law of Abiogenesis or Law of Universal Information."
Rocky: "How much more of science would you be willing to exclude just to support a few stories that you prefer to believe?"
Rationalizing away the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, the Law of Abiogenesis, The Law of Cause and Effect, and the Law of Universal Information is common when evaluating the inductive reasoning that supports the stories of molecules-to-man evolution.
