The Bible is the only accurate record we have for age of earth to date.
Hello, Pinocchio.
Do you get credits on you Go To Heaven Card for lying?
When any of those scientists take the stand to affirm that the earth is as old as they say, do they do it? Don't they always say something like, "To the best of my knowledge..." or "All the indicators suggest that..." or "We think that it happened this way...?"
Those guys are innocent liars. They don't know, yet they print up books suggesting.
What about the Bible? The Bible is a book that was handed down by a stubborn people... possibly the most stubborn in the world. Their stubborn tradition is that Moses was a man of power and truth. The records are eye-witness records that have traditional backing of a whole nation.
You want to promote the lies of scientific misinterpretation. Why not look at the truth and support it? The universe since the creation is less than 10 thousand years old. But, if it is more than 10,000 years old, even sound, factual science says that it is not any older than 25,000 at the outside.
I wasn't gonna do it... but the stupidity hurts.
Light moves at approximately 300,000 meters per second. The universe is demonstrably expanding. Within the view of instruments that you can buy on eBay are stars who's light cannot have ever reached earth if your ludicrous hypothesis had any merit.
A scientist will indeed say "to the best of our knowledge" rather than an absolute answer, because only fools believe in absolutes. The half life of carbon 14 is longer than your alleged creation time. Proven, observed, we know it's rate of decay. There is carbon fourteen that has become inert, present on earth. 14000 years RIGHT THERE. It's a relatively short half life compared to several other radioactive compounds and elements.
appeal to tradition is a logical fallacy for good reason. Would you argue that a man should never strive to exceed the station he's born into? Tradition of very long standing says he should not. We look back on that tradition with loathing and disgust for a reason. It's unnatural. It's a way to make a living man into a thing. How about a man born a slave? Should he retain thsi? Should he not strive to be free? What of a man born blind or deaf, should he forgo surgery because, traditionally, it didn't exist or was thought to be "playing god"? Or rather, should he strive to get that surgery, become whole and improve himself?
I could go on for hours. But I won't.
The question of this thread is why to people hate islam. There are a good many good reasons. Guess what? Historically, and in some areas at present, every last one of those reasons can be applied to your religion. Yes, Christianity has grown up a great deal in the last 700 years, and has BECOME largely a culture of peace. This is as doctrinally correct as with Islam. But, despite the horrific beliefs of people who have no power of observation, most people are decent human beings and don't really WANT to hate on everyone else. By cooperation, sharing of knowledge, discarding of false ideas in favor of those that WORK, we are made better. Science does not and NEVER HAS purported to know the totality of everything. That's it's goal, of course, but we all recognize that it's at it's very beginning as far as the nature and function of the universe. It may indeed someday prove that there IS some grand design. It can't be ruled out until it has been. But the evidence we have so far looks very much different from that.
And if you misquote Newton's third law one more time, I swear, I just might convert on the grounds that praying against you would be satisfying. DO NOT LECTURE ON A SUBJECT YOU HAVE ZERO KNOWLEDGE OF. Newton's laws of motion are in a closed system, and so stated. The universe does not appear to be a closed system. Even so, thrust vectors don't even HINT at grand design, they simply describe in a very gross manner how things work. Modern physics, while incorporating Newtons laws, has gone far beyond them.
And I'll close with a broadside from an old friend of mine.
Christian: "
is just a theory"
Me: "So's Gravity. Why don't you deny that one, and jump off a bridge!"
..You seem to think there is a god 
are you really that stupid
