The End Of Reason: A Glimpse Behind The Curve

You keep repeating that, but it doesn't matter. It's not about the numbers of people who believe X, Y or Z, but about what the evidence tells us.

I have provided evidence for my statements, you have not replied to either of my comments addressing the points that I've made, or suggested why they are not sufficient to prove the theories. Instead, you resort to telling me that someone disagrees, which is not an argument.

In case you're not aware, I've spent the better part of my working career in the space sector working at the European Space Agency (Europe's equivalent of NASA). Working with astrophysicists who can calculate the age of the Universe and the distance to stars and galaxies with measurements relying on the consistency of the speed of light traveling at known speeds which allow them to know the distances between them, again adding evidence to an old universe. I've been working with geologists and geophysicists making research instruments for experiments that are to be sent to Mars or different asteroids, as well as research results from previous probes. These too, have provided insight into the age of the age of the solar system and the different planets as well as the building blocks that make up our own. I work with biologists and chemists creating experiments, or again analyzing results from old ones, to study how life can have originated, been possible on other planets, or perhaps existing there today.

Literally 100%, not as in "most" but as in every single one, of the people I've worked with here. -which are in the thousands for the space agency alone - not just "believes" that the Earth is approximate ~4.5 billion years old, the Universe ~13.8bn, that life has evolved etc, but continues to make progress with models holding those assumptions, which would be impossible if it wasn't true.

Why are you ignoring them? You know you are wrong, right? Is this your blind spot? You seriously have no idea what I'm talking about.

@joeyarnoldvn This isn't a fair line of questioning, @fredirikaa has answered you several times, yet you ignore the answer and just repeat the same thing.

I will ask you a direct question now; name one of those scientists and explain what you're talking about, rather than repeating that people don't know what you're talking about.

Even if @fredrikaa's excellent answers aren't enough for you, they will be for many reading this, so thank you both for the excellent discourse (which I somehow missed) on this post.
