Re: No dating techniques needed...
Actually the Bible puts no specific or approximate age on the earth.

Re: No dating techniques needed...
Oh, I see. I apologize. It wasn't my goal to invalidate or distract from your point, I was just pointing out that dispite YECs' interpretation or inference, the Bible does not put any date on the earth period. It is dead silent. It's almost off-topic for this particular thread, but I just wanted to make it known that its not actually the Bible itself promoting the idea of either a young or old earth.

Re: No dating techniques needed...
YECs' age of the earth does not prove the Bible wrong. It is possible for a Christian or person to believe in creation without ascribing a particular age to the earth since the Bible gives no age, so a believer in creation does not necessarily need a dating technique. The fact YECs age (which is actually not Biblical) contradicts scientific understanding also does not prove science is correct. Scientific understanding is constantly growing and changing. As soon as we think we figured something out scientifically we discover a factor we never thought about or didn't know to think about. We have acheived great things through science, but our technology and medicines aren't perfect. They often create unforeseen problems with their solutions b/c people don't know what they don't know, and science does not give us any real ability to forsee all consequences. Scientists never work with full knowledge and data, only partial knowledge and data. We have a long way to go knowledgewise. How can one put full trust and dependence on the never-ending process and progress of science?
