Reference please. We can't comment on the data unless we can see the data.

Re: Leap Second
Not bad Asgara. Instead of the leap minute, why not go right to the leap day. Using the same creationist argument we could say that the earth's orbit is slowing down 1 day every 4 years. At 0.25 days a year, this would mean that the year would have been 700 days long 1500 years ago. Of course, we know this isn't true. Nonetheless, this is creationist math.

How itsybitsy little creatures on the itsybitsy little dot called planet earth inside one of the billions of galaxies can simply assume physical life such as is on earth is all there is, put together a few equasions and graphs to come up with what they're so buligerently sure things were millions to billions of miles. . . [shortened for brevity]
Or how about the little itsy bitsy people on the itsy bitsy planet who read a book about theology and try and apply the theology to physical reality as if reality is going to bend to their wishes. Scientists, more than creationists, understand the magnitude of the natural world and let the natural world tell them what reality is. Creationists get on their high horse and try and tell reality what it is. Which do you think is the most arrogant?
