→You Just Gotta Be Kidding Me: Bald assertions, false claims, a question already answered, etc.
::::::: [[Circular reasoning]], like that used on the [[radiometric dating]], does fool a lot of people. I honestly think some have trouble seeing the defect in [[circular reasoning]]. Of course, others see the flaw but persist anyway, knowing that others will be fooled by it.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:03, 29 January 2008 (EST)

::::::: For more on [[radiometric dating]], see that article. Changed rates of decay are only one of the problems.
::::::: There's been plenty of examples produced to show that radiometric dating is inconsistent or plain wrong. So even if you show that it often ''is'' consistent, the fact that it's often ''not'' consistent shows that it is not reliable.
::::::: "''But I have not seen any scientific evidence from any creationist source that addresses these dates. Instead they state that the Earth's age is measured in thousands of years, not in billions of years.''": I'm not sure off the top of my head if creationists have addressed ''the particular dates you quote'', but they have done more than "state" the age of the Earth; they have ''addressed'' the issue of dating generally.
::::::: "''And you seem to make a key logical fallacy.''": Where?
::::::: "''Creation contradicts science. Evolution fits in with science.''": Because you say so? Bals assertion does not make it so, and clearly creationists disagree with those assertions.
::::::: "''Equating one with the other doesn't work. My mother for example believes in God, but also believes in evolution - and she studied biology in Nottingham University.''": How much did she study the Bible? Evolution ''does not'' fit with the Bible. You can invent any "god" you want, but evolution does not fit with the God of the Bible. For example, the Bible says that God created everything ''in six days'': That is simply contrary to evolution. Both cannot be true.
:::::::"''You mention that observed geological processes might differ from past ones. Again, that doesn't fit in with what we know.''": Er, yes it does. There are no observed geological processes producing sedimentary or lava fields hundreds and thousands of square kilometres in extent.
:::::::"''How can the glaciers of the last ice age form under the flood geology model?''": I've already answered that earlier in this page.
