Leave to science what is science and to God what is Gods. Why do they need to conflict? I'm guessing you are trying to back up creationism here. Reality is reality, there may be more than two ways at determining how to solve a mathematical equation; The solution will always be the same though.

:The only reason why I do not reject the above as irrelevant is that it serves as a near-perfect illustration of what I mean by the basic problem. Creationism does not accept uniformitarianism, gradualism, or any of the other schools of thought that produce tremendous ages for the [[earth]]. Nowhere is uniformitarianism or gradualism definitely established; these are merely asserted. The time during which such assertions would be acceptable as "just-so stories" about the early earth is past.
:The mathematical equation might indeed have a fixed solution set. But how do you know that you have the right cofactors and constants for it? How do you know that the constants are truly constant and that first derivatives are not actually second, third, or fourth? Making predictions about a duration of history that goes far beyond any written (as in, by man) record is hazardous at best.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 17:41, 25 December 2007 (EST)
