"According to current evidence..."
Nobody knows the exact age of the universefor sure. Is it particularly important? The Lascaux cave paintings precede the date derived by counting back to Adam.
Is time an arrow or a ring?
The Lascaux cave paintings have a date on them?
Originally posted by KellyJayThat is the dumbest thing I've read in weeks. Beliefs are between our ears, but beliefs that have more evidence in their favor are more likely to be true. Beliefs with a lot of evidence in their favor are very likely to be true. When we believe on the basis of a lot of evidence, we are justified in believing. When we have sufficient justification, the justified belief counts as knowledge. To know does not require that one be absolutely certain. If it did, then nobody would ever know anything at all, since no belief is absolutely certain. This does not entail that all beliefs are instances of faith, and it certainly does not entail that all beliefs are equally likely to be true. If you deny these claims, then you will have to accept that your belief that you are not know dreaming is only based on faith, and that it is only faith that leads you to believe that your floor will be solid next time you step on it. Unless you are prepared to accept these absurdities, please desist in saying such stupid sh_t about evidence and faith! It makes you look like a retard.
What is real, does not depend upon human guess work or theories, it
simply is what it is no matter what we think about it. You believe you
know what happened billions of years ago maybe, or you have some
educated guess, but it is still between your ears, it is a belief nothing
more, evidence or no. Much of what is called evidence are simply
stories wra ...[text shortened]... or that, it could be true, maybe not, the point it is, it is
still faith like it or not.

Three dating methods were used at Lascaux: pollen, carbon, flint. They yield an approximate age of 30000 years.

I don't know a person with that name.
Originally posted by Bosse de NageA and B aren't mutually exclusive, and B is definitely true (there's no user with that name), unless the user name has been changed at some point.
Nice dodge, but that's not quite yes or no.
Here, I'll make it easier for you. Which of the following sentences is true for you:
A.) I have posted under the username dj2becker.
B.) I have never posted under the username djbecker.
