Shame on you Ken Ham

Ken Ham,

You know he is the person who believes the Universe is less than 6000 years old, despite the fact that God himself never said the Earth was only 6000 years old, despite the fact that God even says its billions of years old.

I was reading through some stuff and this bit of info caught my attention:

OSL (Optically stimulated luminescence dating) is based on unverifiable uniformitarian assumptions. Can we know a sample has truly been in the dark for seventy thousand years? Can we be sure heat or water exposure has not altered the energy stored in it? Can we be sure a mineral’s sensitivity to light has remained unchanged? It is impossible to be sure these conditions have been met. Furthermore, results must be calibrated by comparison to other dating methods based on their own unverifiable assumptions. And those dating methods are also used to calibrate molecular clock calculations used in genomic mapping of populations through the ages. Thus the same assumptions are foundational to conclusions about the age of artifacts and the timing of population movements out of Africa. Even the “out of Africa” paradigm is based on unverifiable assumptions, including the presumption humans evolved from apelike ancestors in the first place.

(Ken Ham, via Answers in Genesis News)

You know, Ken, this method of dating has received exhaustive testing and judging by how the Scientist of our day feel, this OSL testing would not had seen the light of day if it did not do what it said. Oh yes, Ken, I have never seen any reference in the Scientific world that OSL is unverified. Ken Ham brushes off an extremely good method of testing in order to support his view that the Universe is 6000 years old and remember No where in the bible does it say the Earth is less than 6000 years old.

Other things of interest... Ken Ham ignores photographic evidence of the birth of stars... Then there's that thing about Tyrannosaurs eating grass... and living with Humans less than 6000 years ago.

Ken Ham, You ignore photographic evidence that Stars are being born today, you ignore proven scientific methods about dating caves in South Africa. And you and your Young Earthist feel the Earth is less than 6000 years despite the fact that God and the Bible never said the Earth was 6000 years old and in a few spots he might had even said the Earth is Billions of years old.
