First you'll have to learn what science is. You're a long way from anybody taking your opinions seriously.

So you did not post evidence,
Results are evidence. Computers are evidence thst science gets results.

Computers do nothing but quantify numbers into a replicable value. If a value created by a machine counts as evidence, why not a philosophical value involving spoken words?

Re: Layers build slowly over time ... lots of time
Rather than an intelligent reply we get blather about 'oh, I am the only one who knows what science really is, but I can't post it'. Seriously?

Re: Just as the fact that there is no "Bible" ...
Computers are not evidence stellar evolution in deep space is valid. Focus. Nor are computers evidence a worldwide flood never happened. Etc.

I'll type slowly so you can keep up: Computers... are... evidence... that... scientists... know... what... they're... doing.
When you get on an airplane, do you go up to the cockpit and tell the pilot he's flying all wrong? The rest of us take his thousands of hours of successful flying as evidence that he knows what he's doing.

Your reading comprehension is off. I have never said that I am the only one who knows anything about science. I seldom claim to know anything at all.
As the old joke goes, I don't have to run faster than the bear. I only have to run faster than YOU.
I only have to know more about science than YOU, which is not much of a feat.

It doesn't matter what computers do. I could have used a space shuttle as an example, or a heart pacemaker. The point is that science gets RESULTS.

Re: Just as the fact that there is no "Bible" ...
Of course scientists dealing in the real world usually know what they are doing (even if in some cases it is evil as hell)
The so called sciences dealing in origins stories have no practical application in the real world though.

When you know something you should be able to post it rather than brag you could post it.

Re: Just as the fact that there is no "Bible" ...
If you offer computers or anything else in this world as evidence that so called science that deals in origins fables knows what it is talking about, you need to show the connection.

The connection is that they are using the same methods. You might as well say that the pilot who is flying the DC-9 knows what he's doing but the pilot who is flying the 727 doesn't - even though they are doing the same thing.
You're seeing a distinction where there is none. And if you think there is a distinction, once again YOU are the one who needs to provide evidence.

Read what I wrote. I didn't say I knew anything. I said I know more than you.

That's where you're wrong. Geologists find oil in the real world and geologists find the true ages of rocks.

What origin fables would those be? Certainly not the talking snake one? Maybe the wolf and the raven one?
