It use to make sense to people that the earth was flat and if you sailed out too far sea monsters would eat you.
IT ISN'T? THEY DON'T?

As for the age of the Earth, yes, that uses the half-life of Lu-176 to Hf-176, which has a half-life of 37 billion years. We
know
how old the Earth is.
Yet we already said that carbon dating is inaccurate.

And Science "makes more sense" to so many, but like any method of understand the world, some day it will come to pass. As our understanding of the universe grows we may at some point go back to a more religious way of thinking, or we might embrace some new undiscovered knowledge that changes everything, but until then nothing is gained by anyone demeaning the beliefs of others
This "new undiscovered knowledge" isn't going to be discovered by turning to religion, and specifically it will also not be found by turning to God. Look at what he's done.
That our understanding
will
change is the
inevitability
of science.

Yes, but you didn't give numbers; worse off, is you cherry-picked the quote to use. You're making it out to be as completely inaccurate as belief... which it is not. Carbon dating yields tangible results which we can say
are
accurate because we have corroborated the evidence with the usage of other half-lives.

Carbon dating yields correct results when taken from before a certain time period, yes. But after that the results are all skewed.

Re-read my post please. I'm not going to explain it again, if all you're going to do is hold staunchly to your belief rather than to ask questions of how the process works.

We already know the age of the earth, but not through carbon-dating techniques I believe. Scientists have already found out when the big bang occured, when our solar-system was created and when earth was created.
More will come.

Scientific theory is pretty flawless. You know before a hypothesis becomes a theory it gets tested to death by other scientists, who try to poke holes at it in any way they can. Contrast that to randoms who don't really have any sort of scientific background at all trying to attack these theories that pass the inspections of the scientific community... and it just seems like a joke.

I did read it, but I'm sorry, seeing as I'm not a scientist it didn't make much sense to me.

Explain more please. How do we know this?

Something along the lines of massive amounts of cosmic radiation left over from the big bang, point at a high probability that the big bang occurred. Now its not 100% but its close enough to say that the big bang is probably what created the universe. Now where the singularity came from is a whole different story.

Soooo . . . we know the big bang happened because a small, fragile probe traveled out into this giant vacuum and analyzed this certain tiny section of space in this vast, infinite cosmos. After analyzing that section of space with it's poor, puny, and possibly damages sensors it discovered that there was radiation there. It then proceeded to stream back this information across millions if not billions of miles until it reached Earth?
Can I just say that just because there is radiation, doesn't mean tehre was an explosion.

Someone just put that radiation there just to mess with us I guess. Totally makes sense

Queggy, what exactly are you trying to defend? Creationism?

The Mediator - That's not I was saying.
Sagramor - I guess. I wasn't intending to, but I guess you could say I am.
Laihendi - If it would ever load for me, I would read it.
