Re: The nature of science, theory etc.
We have the same observations of the past and we see do the Flood there, everywhere as I've said, as you should too, but you are seeing through your Theory, not with open eyes. I haven't claimed that you should see God in nature.
You may have the same observations, but you don't use them to reach your conclusions. In fact, you ignore the observations.
We observe that slow moving rivers on flat plains produce meanders. You ignore this observation, and claim that rivers with incised meanders were formed by catastrophic, fast flows.
We observe that rocks have ratios of isotopes consistent with millions of years of decay. You ignore these observations and claim that the Earth is young, despite these observations.
It would be a refreshing moment if you actually did start with the same observations.

Re: The nature of science, theory etc.
ou've of course selected an observation about which I speculated at one point on the thread about meanders, and the radioisotope flimflam which I reject,
Then don't pretend that you are starting from the same observations. You aren't.

Re: The nature of science, theory etc.
Oh for crying out loud. The same information is available to everybody and you guys make use of it too for your own explanations. Use your head.
The point is that you don't use it, contrary to your claims. The information we have available is how rocks form with relation to inclusion and exclusion of specific isotopes. We also have observations of how radioactive isotopes decay, and what they decay into. Then we have the observations of the ratio of isotopes that rocks have in them.
How do you use these observations to determine the age of a rock? You claim to be using the same observations, so show us.
We observe that slow moving rivers form meanders. How do you use these obervations?
We observe that fossil bearing limestone forms very slowly. How do you use these observations?
The answer is that you ignore the observations. You don't use them. You don't have a different interpretation of the same facts. You have an interpretation devoid of facts.
