Tony: Some of the basic points that I picked up(For the benefit of DHW):

>

• Out of 200+ methods of dating, 90% do not agree with extreme old ages.(I am still trying to confirm or deny that)
>
• Fossils are used to date rock strata, which are in turn used to date fossils. Circular logic.(Confirmed)-Thanks for the summary. I disagree about your aging point. There are about 5-6 different isotopes that can be used for dating. Carbon doesn't go back very far but some of the others do. Yes, using fossils is circular, but most dating now is isotopic. I've toured the Grand Canyon by raft with a University professor, chief of the geology department, at the time an author of many articles on the geology of the canyon. I've had my hand on the Vishnu shist, over 2 billion years old, the great unconformity, missing 750,000 years, worm borings at 200 million years ago and we had full discussions of dating. I'm satisfied abouot that science.-The other points you presented are right on the mark for driving the impression there has to be a Great Designer intellect. Most of them I have in my book.
