| Quote (afdave @ Sep. 30 2006,09:50) | | I do not assume that they are arbitrary ... quite the contrary ... it is obvious that Evolutionists NEED Deep Time. They cannot live with short (6000 year) timescale. Or a 60,000 year timescale. Or even a 600,000 year timescale. Evos routinely say that my theory is blown if the earth is OLDER that 10,000 years or so and this is true. And it is also true that the ToE is blown if the earth is YOUNGER than ... mmm ... a billion years or so. |
Dave, what's wrong with a two-billion-year-old earth, according to your argument? 215 million years is about 5% of the true age of the earth. Two billion years would be plenty of time for bacteria to have evolved into humans (and in fact that's roughly how long it takes). You yourself admitted you think a billion years is plenty of time! So why does everyone—geologists, paleontologists, physicists, chemists, astronomers—insist the actual figure is 4.55 billion years?
Evolution doesn't "need" 4.55 billion years. So explain, if you can, if you have the slightest clue, why all the evidence from a dozen different directions converges on that one value? Half that time would be plenty. A quarter of that time would be plenty. For all you know, a tenth of that time would be plenty. Did "evolutionists" just want to make sure they had a margin of error?
You need exactly 6,000 years, Dave, within a century or two. But you can't find any evidence that converges on 6,000 years. Your figures (to the extent you even have any figures) are all over the place!
