Pete.. I see no sense in continuing this when you keep insisting that accepting scientific evidence for evolution is a 'faith position'.

That is a logical error and a misuse of common terminology.

"Faith" and "belief" in their technical sense are not the same as when used simply to mean, as you are doing, 'confidence in one's basic evidence and procedures'.

Faith **MEANS** acceptance of something not testable. Science IS testable, even though the many details are always open to revision. The basic theory is also open to revision, but for 150 years now, all the basic data has led to more & more evidence for evolution.

All we are really doing here is going in circles, and my fingers are tired. So I repeat for the 28th time (but... who's counting?) IF a God made everything, we can at least examine how he did it and come close to the age of it all. The pages of an old manuscript do not explain anything BECAUSE the very authenticity of the manuscript is in doubt.
If I have to choose between radiocarbon dating and a supposed list of 'begats' in Genesis, you can guess my choice.

And by the way... how do YOU explain all that supposed record keeping of names from Adam to Moses, etc.? You cannot just keep demanding that 'evolutionists' defend THEIR data.... where is your defense of biblical stories?
