[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7664169, member: 549629"] The technology exists to prove, accurately, that the earth has existed longer than the bible claims. There is MUCH more evidence of evolution than there is of the garden of eden. You claim science relies on faith because it hasnt answered every question you can imagine, but science actually relies on us questioning everything in our environment, and science only calls something a fact once it has been proven. You mock the 'theory' of evolution because its not been 100% proven, yet at least science has the intellectual honesty to call it a theory. Walk into a church, mention the 'theory of jesus' or the 'theory of heaven' or the 'theory of God' and see what response you get. Religion has plenty of angles to come at this science versus religion debate, but you attempting to argue for it based on theories and proof is a really really lousy angle to chose, as science has a leg up on religion in that regard in virtually every way possible. It is, however, not surprising. Some time back some religious person got the idea that science relies on faith, just like religion, therefor they are equals intellectually. It sounds feasible when pro-religion spin is applied, such as you have attempted to in this thread. But the reality it's only logical to people with a bias towards wanting religion to be correct, even if it means ignoring truths that would suggest otherwise (like fossils, carbon dating, etc).
