Statistical data is always an inexact, and can vary from perfect accuracy, to completely opposite of reality.You contradicted yourself when you said it's either perfectly accurate or the complete opposite of reality.
YOU NEED TO READ WHAT I POSTED AND NOT CHANGE WHAT I SAID!!!
If that's you level of reading comprehension' date=' no wonder you don't understand what I'm trying to tell you.
At what point did I say that the Earth was a young planet? I have no idea how old it is, but I doubt it's less than a few million.I believe this would be considered an outrageous heresy. In some circles.
And I know a few of them too...
On the more serious note - the last 2 - 3 pages in this thread is what happens when you have an infallible point of faith, are confronted with observations which do not fit well with it and feel compelled to defend your position through rational arguments.Because the believed source is a priori taken as absolute, your only solution is to question the empirical evidence and come up with a kludge, which would apparently reconcile specific observations with the points of faith. Very quickly that leads to these kludges breaking with other observed evidence, whereupon you have to devise kludges for kludges etc, until the picture of reality becomes completely distorted and the only way to resolve it is to forget logic and revert to the original point of faith, based on the premise of its infallibility.
Which is OK, as far as the freedom of conscience is concerned, but why not just short-circuit the whole lengthy process and just say "I believe this is so and so and I will not accept any alternative explanations, no matter how empirically supported they are, and my faith does not require me to prove it in any objective format"?
This way a lot of fruitless arguments and emotions could be avoided (and probably tons of CO2 emissions as well)...

It applies to both sides, not just the "religious". Right now I'm just trying to show how stupid it sounds when people say that some bone is millions of years old.

Some people and their bigotry. (that is really what it is, next time call them out on it)

What do you mean by "They're not innately inaccurate"? Do you mean that the problems that make the methods inaccurate don't affect the underlying principles efficacy, or that you just prefer to think of them as accurate since it supports your current position?
Statistical data is always an inexact, and can vary from perfect accuracy, to completely opposite of reality.
Go back to page 13... It was in response to the comment by Vapymid stating that "Anatomically modern humans appear from about 200,000 years ago and after 70,000 years ago". I was trying to say that the dating methods used to find those ages are so inaccurate as to create highly suspect results.

Remember when the rep system was cool, and I was getting more negative votes than any two others were getting positive? (excluding Ross of course)

I'm too tired to respond.

Ok, so you're say that using two inaccurate methods produces an accurate result?

Now... Homemade chicken fajita meat in a tortilla.
Take 4 chicken leg quarters, and bake the without seasoning for 2 hours at 350 degrees F. Allow to cool. Shred the meat by hand, just pull it off the bones/cartilage/fat and separate into pieces no wider than one half inch and no longer than 2 inches. In a large frying pan at water boiling temperatures, add about 1/4 cup veggie oil, 2-4 cups water, 1 packet of McCormick brand fajita seasoning, between 1/8 and 1/4 cup Tabasco, (to taste) 1 Tbsp granulated/powdered garlic, 1 Tbsp onion powder, 1-2 Tbsp salt, a pinch of black pepper, the shredded chicken, stir it and leave sit with lid on. Stir two more times, about 2-3 minutes apart, entire thing should be boiling before the second time you stir. After a total of 12 minutes, drain most of the excess water off, and put the meat back on burner, leave the lid off. Frequently stir so as not to crisp any of the meat. Cook until most of the remaining moisture has evaporated, and turn off the burner. Put lid on the pan, and server it while it's hot.

Disabilities are really hard for people most people that don't have one to understand... People even ask why my brother can't hold a job, or manage his own money. (he can't because he can't follow authority due to what he was like when he had his accident, and because money burns holes in his pockets)
If you have another person complain about you being a drain on society, send them my way so I can beat some sense into them.

Problems with that dating method. (one of the papers is from Yale, another from Cambridge)
Both dating methods are questionable at best, so why do so many people think that the dates produced are so accurate?

Amelia Earhart becomes the first person to fly solo from Hawaii to California.
Coopers Inc. sells the world's first briefs.
In Nazi Germany the political independence of the federal states such as Prussia is effectively abolished by the "Law on Reich Governors" (Reichsstatthaltergesetz).
Another possible coincidence...
