You forget that I believe the earth and water and light came before the stars, so seeing heavy elements streaming off stars proves nothing to me.

I posted several assumptions that must be made in radiometric dating somewhere on this forum or maybe it was the Spirituality Forum. It might have been the ones on the age of the earth that were moved from this forum. However, anyone that read that should know.[/b]
Radiometric dating is based on a set of assumptions about the initial ratios of elements which may be false.In the same thread, which was in Spirituality, I pointed out that zircon as it crystallizes forces lead atoms out of its crystal lattice, whereas Uranium can replace zirconium atoms in the lattice. This means that one has good reason to believe that the lead content of the zirconium crystal was negligible when it formed. This assertion can be tested in a laboratory. Further, because there are two isotopes of uranium with two different half lives, there are two isotopes of lead formed by its decay, so two ratios can be measured simultaneously to improve the precision of the measurement.
Originally posted by DeepThoughtThat is fine. However, ratios are just ratios and not a clock. It is not accurate to assume you can calculate age based on ratios, in my opinion.

Stars are not needed to have light. Haven't you ever seen lighting? Don't you know that lighting does not come from stars?
The problem is that the light that comes before the stars in the bible is daylight, so you believe that we had daylight before we had a sun.

running water and electric lighting. Besides they needed
electricity to power the tv.

Originally posted by RJHindsYou really don't know what light is? Really?
Well, the simple answer that you might be able to understand is that sunlight is the light of the sun, daylight is the light we have on earth during the daytime, and starlight is the light of stars.
And you call yourself a near moron?
