If you have a recipe that's been tested and verified by thousands of bakers, you're likely to trust…
Logical fallacy alert! That's called a faulty appeal to authority, Porpoise! Your line of reasoning…
While you make a valid point about the potential for an appeal to authority fallacy, it's important to clarify that the consensus among scientists isn't the sole basis for accepting the theory of evolution or the age of the earth. The agreement is based on empirical evidence gathered from various fields like geology, paleontology, chemistry, and physics. These pieces of evidence have been independently verified and collectively build a strong case.
For example, radiometric dating methods have been used to date rocks and fossils. These methods are based on predictable decay rates of certain radioactive isotopes, such as Potassium-40 decaying to Argon-40. By measuring the ratio of these isotopes in a sample, scientists can calculate the time that has passed since the rock or fossil was last heated or otherwise altered. This is a specific, reproducible method that has provided consistent results across a multitude of studies.
Can you provide a similar level of empirical evidence that supports a young earth or creationist perspective? I'm genuinely interested in your counter-argument or solution to the dating methods used in scientific research.
