Oh, I know the earth is much older than that. But is mankind? Carbon 14 *IS* the accepted science for research, but its not infallible...

And I admire Albert Einstein's genius when he developed his theory of relativity. Amazing that a hundred years ago, being armed with a brain, an imagination and a chalk board he was dead on! But in the last few years, though his theory is still a standard, his calculations are being scrutinized due to modern scientific techniques.

Another thing. His theory is light travels 186000 mi. per second. why not 186,243.94 MPS? Why is accuracy only limited to 'thousands?" When you consider 'millions' of years at stake, at least Albert was more accurate with relativity theories than carbon 14 dating can be.

You are asking science to prove

superstition in the existence of a creator. ;


Why not? You are stating that because science *cannot* provide evidence of a 'creator' then a creator doesn't exist. When science *CAN* prove there *IS NOT* a Divine Creator- I'll believe that science. Until then I'm absolutely satisfied in my beliefs.

Pretty simple really....


Simple indeed, especially since no one can prove or will be able to
prove the existence or non-existence of a creator. All there is is
superstition and "faith." Do you think someone is going to uncover a
manual in the creator's handwriting or that you'll hear a voice coming
out of the sky? Note that I am not saying a creator does not exist. I'm
saying that existence of a creator cannot be proved or disproved. For
those who believe in such an existence, it can only be believed on the
basis of religious faith and superstition.

Someday, perhaps, we'll encounter aliens who do not look like us. I'm
not referring to John Herring's Mexicans, but to beings from another
solar system. There goes the "man is made in god's image" nonsense, eh?

There's plenty of science available that indicates homo sapiens was
around a couple of hundred thousand years ago and became behaviorally
modern many tens of thousands of years ago. In the speed of light in
a vacuum, Einstein developed a theory to account for it. He didn't have
a lightspeed speedometer. His theory has been proven to be incredibly
accurate via measurement.
