Re: Can you look at religion scientifically, and still believe God exists? -

I just wanted to jump in and say something to those claiming that the earth is only 4000-6000 years old. Scientists have placed the age of the earth at over 4 BILLION years. They have used radiometric age dating, which is very accurate, along with other tests to confirm their results. This is science, which means it has been tested over and over and over again. I have to ask, how can scientists be responsible for getting man to the moon, mapping out our DNA, and finding vaccines to cure deadly illnesses, yet be off by so much when it comes to the age of the earth?
I would watch the video that's been posted, but I have no sound on my computer. I also have a feeling it is just propaganda put out by religious fundamentalists. I have seen things produced by religious zealots. It can be very convincing, but usually if you dissect it and fact check everything, you'll find it's all just a bunch of lies! Not having seen that particular video I can't say for sure if that is or isn't the case, but please watch out. You have to be very careful where you get your information from, and you need to question everything.
EDIT: I just took a look at the site the video is on. It is definately a religious site. While that doesn't automatically discount the video, it does show it is coming from a highly biased source. Please keep that in mind. Also, an argument is always stronger when it is supported by an unbiased source.
