WHY is there something rather than there being nothing ?

That is a puzzler. But if there were nothing, we wouldn't be talking.

You seem to want to separate science from man. Anything shown good or bad using science is still man doing the work.

Yes, we get the blame and the credit.

Than why did you complain when I cast blame?

I don’t doubt that, you might just want to sharpen up a bit on the interpretation of fossils.

Can you be more specific about what you think is wrong in the interpretation of the fossil record? Can you cite some example of a fossil that by scientific consensus has a certain age but which according to your view has a very different age (with some substantiation)?

Because your complaint was not reasonable.

Fossils don't speak for themselves, interpretations of fossils are based upon assumptions. Assumptions that are based upon other assumption that are based upon other assumptions which cannot be proven. If you are not aware of this educate yourself on the matter. The interpretation of fossils assumes uniformitarianism, which also cannot be proven.

Do you get out of bed in the morning wondering what the Laws of Nature will be like today?

Uniformatarianism is an unprovable postulate that cannot be verified using the scientific method no matter how you try to spin it.

Using big words sir really doesn't improve your argument.

Are all your statements facts?

So that's a "no" to my question, then? Can you identify some of these assumptions, and show why they are wrong?

As expected, those 'big words' weren't even yours. - Posted without any initial link to wikipedia. (Not for the first time).
