invalidation.

In this thread please stick to the topic and leave the assessments of how well or poorly anyone is doing to the readers.
But I not talking about "how well or poorly anyone is doing" - I'm saying the argument used had been invalidated.
What's the problem with stating that an invalidated argument is an invalidated argument?
It's not like {person X} is the source of the argument, it was borrowed from a book after all.

Re: Age Correlations Step by Step
What about in {Great Debate} then?
The idea was to discuss the issue in a non-science forum, as 'relative' requested.

Re: Age Correlations Step by Step
Is the topic in questions some sort of "creation with apparent age" sort of thing? If so, perhaps the topic belongs in one of the "Social and Religious Issues" forums.
That would work. It appears to be the direction 'relative' is going.
This could also serve to open up the debate for others that don't like to 'play' on the science forums.

Re: Age Correlations Step by Step
First of all, I'll point out (as being discussed in the "Private Administration Forum") that "relative" is apparently another incarnation of "simple", who is currently of "full suspension" status. Thus his very presence here is highly problimatic. Do you want to do a "Great Debate" with "simple"?
Is there any doubt anymore? We have the same simple theory of light etc changing at some unexplained date in the past.

Re: Age Correlations Step by Step
If you're going into this with eyes open, and in particular if you have some discussion style/approach ideas you'd like to try out for bringing a problem poster closer to constructive discussion, then I lean toward being encouraging.
My biggest problem I see is that the thread started just to review age dating with 'relative'/simple is at 73 posts and counting, and very little of it has to do with the bristlecone pine data because 'relative'/simple is off and running on one of his pet illusions.
While a {great debate} format would not prevent him from introducing plethoras of imaginary scenarios, it would limit the divergence from the topic at hand as other posters take on those fantasies.
My original idea was to proceed similar to the grand canyon thread by jar (that I have yet to finish, as enjoyable as it is), though not necessarily in a strict linear fashion.

Re: Simple/relative
It's not just relative. As you hint, if no one answered him there would be no problem ... it's more like:
diversion off topic = k*(evos*creos)*{number of responses}2
... where k is a constant dependant on the number of Dryas octopetala blooms at any time you chose.
