How do scientists come up with the Earth being 4.6 billion years old?

I think that may be one of the side effects of a thread like this lol !

Lol Team Jesus is too busy in that other thread with the video of the Crip getting stomped out.

You must be a S.O.G

Seems like the ''religious" love to pick and choose from science just like they pick and choose from the bible.

Something's not going straight in a nation where science gets loads of cash legally while religion has to 'beg' for money, although science doesn't really proof anything.

LOL at your photobucket account name showing as I reply to this.

They're like "That Crip didn't deserve to be stomped out like that god...Let him live another day and hopefully he hurts an innocent person"

Of course science proves stuff, plenty of stuff.

Or you can always believe that fossils were put here by a "god" to test our faiths in him. Or you can believe what scientists say that these were living things that lived millions of years ago.

Are you serious? Religion proves something?

Thing is Science is based on facts, while religion is a completely unproven theory pretty much made from thin air

Science is what allows you live longer, get us onto the moon, show us our origins. It allows you to fly on a plane and created the thing you're typing on right now

Im sorry but im cant just accept the reason for everything happening is because "God said so".

Exactly

You can go through life hearing God did this and that

Or you can step out of that shell and attempt to prove it

They dont prove anything to you because you are closed minded to science, you chose to take the religions word for it that god made everything and thats that, religon is stagnant but everyday science gets more info and get stronger and one day science will prove without a doubt that its right in the way things can to be, It will happen maybe not in our liftime but it will !

Science delivers theories without evidence. Religion delivers theories without evidence. Nevertheless science is legally allowed to say that their theories are proven facts, while religion is forced to say that their theories are some kind of esoteric stuff.
Conclusion: science is a tool of politics.

carbon dating

I may be mistaken but isn't carbon dating only really used for things that occurred in relatively recent times (such as human history)? I thought other elements with much longer half-lives were used for things like dating the earth and other extremely ancient events.
