Not exactly. In my long experience in the creation/evolution area (over 20
years) I have never met a scientist who questioned the evidence for an old
earth the way you are unless they were either YEC, or crypto-YEC. Nor have I
met many scientists who use the flawed logic you do to support some sort of
open-minded position on the age of the earth. Most of them have been YECs
so my supposition has a high probability of being correct even should it
turn out to be false in this case. I can rule out your being a philosopher,
because of your use of logic and the unbelievably high standard for 'proof'
you tried to promulgate.
So that one can cease making suppositions, What is your discipline? What
exactly are your views with regard to the age of the earth? Have you
published anything on the area of creation/evolution? in science?
