As a bio/biochem major (a long time ago), I appreciate what science has to offer in terms of absolute proof as well as theory.

Here is an interesting resource: http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/clottes/

A worthwhile read (need to click on all 8 pages)

If it's 40,000 years old there must be some proof.
Show it!

I'm not a jerk. I'm very friendly and mean no harm.
Just a tiny little jab, that's all.
I'm harmless.

Sure let's do it again.
Are we already in re-runs?

Why stop at the age of the earth, the age of the universe is much more fun?

No Trek, you said they can't verify it. Put your money where your mouth is. You say a lot Trek and come up with nothing. Prove to an entire nation of people you know more about their history than they do. You can't, can you? Don't beat around the bush Trek, I'll be here for a while so I'll await your answer, and I'll forward your evidence on to the Australian Aboriginal Council.

It's funny to see you get sarcastic when your called out. You always avoid the answers don't you. Get taught that on Sundays? I have a friend who is a JW, Robert Palumbo. Very, very nice man. He never avoids giving answers. He simply says, " I don't know", or " we don't know".

You have no evidence.
It's no biggie, no one does.

Man was created 6,000 years ago.

What did you want to know about Jonah?

Lets start with how Jonah survived inside a whale shall we.
Very likely, the same way the three Hebrews survived the fiery furnace of Nebuchadnezzer.

I'm not really sure, the Bible doesn't say.

Trek, please help me here. I can understand your skepticism of basic scientific principles. But I see you say there's "no evidence."

is there evidence you have that man was created 6,000 years ago?

Review world history.

Why did it just start 6,000 years ago?

I don't understand how you arrived at world history starting 6000 years ago. What are your sources?

I think that the assumption that if something isn't a huge monument or written on stone it didn't exist is flawed. Even as late as 15th century most North American natives didn't have a written language. They had a strong oral tradition ( but you know what can happen to stories with repeated re-telling). The drawings they made were from organic pigments on skins and bark, all of which degrade readily. So, according to the 'documented history' approach, Native North Americans don't exist, or must have sprung up just before 'civilized' man found them?
I don't have scientific proof, but I'm fairly sure our native peoples have been around more than 500 years.

The last time we had this argument someone brought up some cave paintings in France and said they were 27,000 years old.
I checked, the scientists who tested the age of the paintings came right out and said that their testing methods were flawed and not deemed credible because of the materials used to paint the pictures, but they "THOUGHT" the age was about 27,000 years old based on what everyone else was saying.
LOL there's your freaking science and hard data for ya.

The oldest living thing on this planet is a tree. It is about 5600 years old, based on what the scientists say.
These trees are capable of living for tens of thousands of years, according to the same scientists. So why is the oldest known living thing on this planet only as old as the biblical flood, even though the scientists say these trees can live many times as long as that?

In paragraph one you mock science, yet in paragraph two you agree with science?. Gee, it wouldn't be because (supposedly) it backs up your fairytale would it? Typical religious hypocrisy.

No. Wrong. I never agreed with them, I just used their own indecisions and flawed theories to demonstrate ho inaccurate it is and how unsupported the arguments made here are when they are based on what these scientists say.
BTW,you need to chill. Either that or ESAD.
