No Davey, the evidence I see does explain things. The evidence points to an
Earth around 4.5 billion years and a universe around 13.5 billion. There is
no evidence for a global flood, and evidence that modern humans have been
around for about 100k years.
You have no evidence at all. None. The most you can claim against my
evidence is the weak claim that somehow I'm "extrapolating". Well, Davey,
one has to have something to extrapolate from. You have nothing save the
silly ramblings of an ancient mythology which even most of your fellow
Christians don't accept as literal.
When you can explain the evidence that exists, rather than trying to
handwave it away, I'll pick up and listen.
