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?

That 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.

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

Would you mind explaining how those three dating methods work? And would you mind focussing on explaining how you know for sure that the assumptions made by those dating methods are correct?

Considering that he also lacked the ability to answer yes or no questions and also the ability to understand simple English words like 'name' we can assume that you are essentially identical to him and therefore not worth debating with as he was an inconsistent liar who apparently had no interest in actual genuine debate but rather seemed to find entertainment from asking dumb questions and making false claims whilst never admitting to the fact when he was proven wrong.

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 dj2becker.

A 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.

His sense of humour was underrated.
