""don-perhaps you can tell me how you do experiments on the past.in origins research all you have is the result of what has already happened.this is interpreted according to the worldview of the researcher and is not the same IMO as the scientific method you describe.muddying the water may be a useful tactic for evolutionists but not for making things clear.""

Just to give one simple answer, which you should, but probably won't be able or willing to understand, which is the bulk of the problem in dealing with your "scientific" claims.

Radio Carbon dating is a tried and tested scientific method of determining the age of various rocks and fossils with impressive accuracy.

All radioactive isotopes have what is known as a half life which can be used to determine the age of materials, working from the proportion of isotope as compared to the degradation product existing in those samples today, whatever that may be.

It happens that radio carbon gives the best results in terms of experimental error, so that is the most useful method.

Any chemist with a background in this discipline can carry out these tests and the results are always the same within the limits of experimental error, and reproducible.

Please point me towards a Creation "scientist" who can produce similar, or indeed any, evidence for your viewpoint.

There is NONE!
