pete is not a true believer, pete, like Ham, is arguing against science and not for any coherent theory of creation.

He argues that carbon dating is not sufficient to prove a 14 billion year old universe while strongly implying that he is aware that it disproves a 6,000 year old "creation."

pete is arguing for his own sport and hoping to to convert someone through his efforts. He thinks it is rational to sink a small part of his resources on what is probably a 1 in 14,000,000 chance of success, but thinks that if he were to overcome those odds, it would be a glorious success. Some people think such quests are rational.

I do not.
