Three words; multiple independent measurements.


All come up with the same answer. The chances of that happening randomly are hundreds of millions of billions to 1. I think it is you that is in error.

My error, what would that be? Pointing out to you that without
being able to know one measurement is right, you confirm your
measurements with another that you cannot confirm is right,
so you confirm it with another measurement you cannot confirm
is right...
Is that what I'm wrong about?

And once again you show that you don't understand how science works. If you think there is a mystery variable that changes things then you need to go out there and find it. Or is it that you'd rather just keep your eyes closed and pretend the world isn't out there?

nothing important enough to alter the findings back to 4 billion years or a degree of certainty of less than .00015 % would be quite noticable.

What have I avoided? You are the one claiming you have all the
knowledge you need to know something for sure, seems like a
bold statement of faith to me. I acknowledge what I believe is
a matter of faith, you are the one attempting to rest in the belief
you have all you need to know to settle into calling your
conclusions facts. Quite a statement of bold blind faith in my
opinion, but true believers make claims like that all the time
don't they?

Yes, true...people have been making the claims on the age of the
earth for years. I'm sure you could find science books years ago
that made different claims and those guys who wrote those books
were sure they had all they needed to know too. Such is the way
of life among true believers, they have all they need.

It doesn't rely on faith it relies on mathematics and other stuff, and really beats the poo outta begat counting.

We know much much more than what is needed to show that creationism is not possible.

I see, so there is nothing, and I mean nothing that could be
lurking out there that could make your conclusions wrong?
You are so sure this is true; you have no doubt what so ever
that no one has made a mistake about anything, or some piece
of data will not alter your findings into being something other
than what you think they are? I’m impressed with your faith
it is blind but strong! You have reality all figured out, it is
impressive!

How would you know that, you have a clue what God can and cannot
do?

You apparently cannot read either. Look it up in a dictionary "independant".

Does a test we cannot prove right or wrong change because we can
also use another test we cannot prove right or wrong, independently?
It is more of the same, the conclusions may be right, they may be
wrong, it is still unknown and cannot be taken as completely true
since something new could change the results tomorrow. You are
quite welcome to believe what you will though, call it a fact if you
desire to.

You don't see KJ, because you have been blinded by the ony-eyed men that wrote the OT. You can not lower 'degree of certainty' to mere 'faith' no matter how hard you try.
