It's a double-edged sword, and both sides do it.
As for the radiometric dating, I'm not trying to disprove it for the sake of my beliefs, I was making my argument based on the fact that there are proven flaws within the system. Not all scientific experiments or theories are perfect. Sure, there are undeniable facts that I can't ignore...but I look up such sources in my quest for knowledge and to know correct.
I'm not solid on my beliefs. If I didn't question them, I don't think I'd be a true believer. The only way I will be swayed is by doing research, looking at studies, and forming an opinion. Most religious people just take what the church tells them as fact. THAT is why you hate religious people. They are hard-headed. They don't seek out truth. Instead of telling me you hate me because I have an agenda, why don't you realize that I'm open to new ideas? Show me something that you think proves religious people wrong. Go ahead. I'll look at it, do research, and form an opinion. Whether or not that will strengthen or weaken what I believe, I don't know.
Maybe you'll see that I'm not a bigoted Christian with an agenda. If I were, every single damned post I made would probably would have had a bible verse in it. That long post I made about radiometric dating had nothing to do with religion. It had to do with cold hard facts. It is flawed.
This is why I don't take part in most of the debates on this site. It's because I haven't searched enough about them. I haven't read the books that you, TOGS, coqauvin, or Atmosfear have read because I haven't had the chance. The contrary is why I posted my views in this thread. This is something I have looked at and formed what I think is an informed opinion. Honestly, I'd prefer that someone counter my sources. I'd prefer for someone to prove me wrong instead of just harping on about how I'm wrong and not giving me proof.
The only problem is that on this site I'm obviously hated. Everything I say is jumped on by these people as though they were jackals. They just wait until I post again so they can mock and ridicule me. This is why I always say I don't care...because I don't. If I really did care, I probably wouldn't post on this website anymore. I post on here because I can have a right laugh at the people trying to bring me down, thinking that what they say will turn me into an atheist, a pot smoker, a fag, or whatever the hell else.
And as I post this it will be torn apart. I'll be proven wrong. I'll have dirt kicked into my face. Big whoop. I guess I just wanted to say my peace.
