Re: How Is Evolution False?

And that is the reason that Evolution is wrong.
They don't throw anything out.
All the false premises, to the false science, are retained in tact.
This is extremism.
Every new book increases the age of the earth.
There is never an exposure of over-stating the date, and REDUCING the age of the earth.
Sciences do not work like that.
How has the age of the Earth increased, even as evidence appartly supports a younger Earth, according to your claims? What assertions have the supporters of evolution kept, even though such assertions have been proven incorrect?
If evidence supports the idea of an older Earth, what is wrong with accepting that evidence? Why should scientists claim the Earth is younger than about 4.5 billion years?
It seems to me that scientists have corrected the works of previous generations. It was once beleived that the Earth was around 20 million years old. This was shown to be false, and an older date was applied. What errors have scientists made in making such assessments?
Are you aware that carbon dating is not used to find the age of the Earth? Carbon-14 degrades to useless levels after about 50,000 years. It is only used on relatively young objects. We have other methods of radiometric dating which are useful for older objects.
