No, I do not accept that the "evidence tells us" anything. We interpret data and make inferences. The data *appears* to support the concept that the Universe and the earth as much older than a few thousand years. I'm not a YEC, and have never given you any indication that I am. That probably won't fix your broken record, however.

Truth is what science is about, troll.

However, that is not an honest statement. At no time have I said anything about wondering why the earth has this appearance of age. I do know a little about it. At least I'm not as ignorant as you to be continually making statements that are either contrary to what you say or haven't said at all.

Save the fancy words for someone who you think will be impressed.

If you're not careful, your head will pop.
