Not interested in discussing this right now.

I have a question for you:
If the earth really is only 6000 years old, and there was a worldwide Flood about 4300 years ago, what would that do to your dating methods? (Since the majority of the methods can only measure enormous time spans). Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

I'd really like to know. If you're all assuming millions and billions of years and most of the dating methods are for measuring such enormous time spans, but the earth really is only 6000 years old, what kinds of results would you expect to get from your methods?

Leave the tree rings and varves out of this please. The subject is the radiometric dating methods. Did you really answer my question?
Say volcanism really only began on the planet at the time of the Flood. What kinds of readings would you get from your methods?

Yes, that is my problem all right, along with the fact that the Flood is the only reasonable explanation for the strata and the fossils, and the fact that the Old Earth explanations of the strata and the fossils are just plain ridiculous, and quite a few other things.

Yes I understand the principle involved, just wondered what it would look like in that case.

In reality it is the Old Earth explanations that make sense and the Flood story that is ridiculous. That's why the Old Earth is accepted as scientific fact and the Flood is rejected as a myth. No way does a stack of disparate sediments represent time periods, that's nuts, nothing sensible about it. You can rationalize it all in terms of the Old Earth but it's a strain on common sense, and billions of fossils is just too perfectly the result of the worldwide Flood. Not to mention the other problems I've pointed out in the GC examples. No, the OE explanations do not make sense, you're just used to them. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Let's not get into this discussion here, but it's already been shown that Walther's law layers sediments and there would be sequences of waves and tides as well that would affect deposition. But this has been said a million times already.

Note that scientists give their results with a stated uncertainty. Sometimes. Amazing though how many Wikipedia and other general articles just rattle off a bunch of mystifying conclusions about this or that, say the KT boundary for an example without even touching on the particular phenomena involved. It's all millions of years this and assumed events that. There is NO room for uncertainty in those common presentations.

I just rattled off that post not caring whether any of it was true or not if you want to know. It was really just a bunch of vague questions I had in mind, it did not come from any creationist site.

No that's not the idea. They talk in terms of events as if they were facts, this happened, that happened, so many years ago. There was a meteor that killed off all the dinosaurs. Stated as fact.

Sorry, this is getting confused. I'm not talking about that paper which is well enough organized and explained, I was talking about a Wikipedia article, I forget why now, about the K-T boundary as a typical example of how such phenomena are presented to laypeople. Definitely typical and definitely irritating.

It's got nothing to do with Wikipedia as such. It's typical of popular accounts of Evolutionist and Old Earth conclusions: They do not bother with giving you any of their reasoning, it's only their conclusions stated as absolute fact. Just about the first post, or possibly the first, I made at EvC back in 2001 was a complaint about this way these sciences are presented to the public.

That is far from the point I'm trying to make. I don't care about the detailed arguments, what I care about is how the public is being brainwashed by a presentation of questionable material as fact. There is no way to rationalize this. Presentations of TRUE science don't do this to the public.

You don't know one thing about what I'm qualified for. The only thing I've ever objected to is the HISTORICAL sciences. Get a clue.
