I still don't trust the dating methods being reliable if they were they would not need to continue looking for new dating methods.
And i believe Dr.Ross said the oldest fossil they have in their possession is 24,000 years old.
He is also saying that creation of living organisms began 6 to 60 thousand years ago. That would also explain the land of Nod being around when cain was banished to it.
Have you trained yourself in radiologic dating methods? If not, how could you possibly reach a conclusion about a tool you have never learned to use? That's like saying you don't "trust" airplanes because you never learned to fly a plane.
" if they were they would not need to continue looking for new dating methods."
Following THAT kind of logic we would all be flying around on planes that look like what the Wright brothers flew in. Science and engineering is all about improving methods. Following the logic you give us above, we would never have gone beyond penicillin to fight bacterial infections. Penicillin works for some bacteria, but is totally ineffective against other strains. So science and medicine continued to look for more effective antibiotics. Same principle applies here! Your argument is ineffective.
Whatever Dr Ross says about fossils is not true. He has not studied, nor even reviewed the scientific literature on fossils. That was my point above, just because he's an astrophysicist doesn't mean he can do heart surgery on you, does it? Just as you may not have learned to fly a plane, Dr Ross cannot make statements about something he never learned to do, never went on expeditions to find, and has not read widely about.
I think you will find that Dr Ross does NOT claim the oldest living life forms are only a few tens of thousands old. You must have mis-understood what was in the link.
Here's what's in the link...you ignored this. FROM YOUR OWN LINK
"The fossil record testifies of life beginning on planet Earth 3.8 billion years ago. Over those 3.8 billion years, we have more and more species of greater and greater complexity and greater and greater diversity. But there's no fossil tree. We have no evidence for the horizontal branches."
Please, I ask you. Read some OTHER scientists, don't just take ONE scientist's word for it! And please, when you read, read carefully and remember what you read.
We can CONFIRM the accuracy of radiologic dating methods with other evidence. Dr Ross uses the fossil record !
I have read a lot on them, and their conclusions are influenced buy their presuppositions. The problem with your side is you don't believe their presuppositions could be wrong to begin with,even though many on your side have been proven wrong.
