So radioactive decay automatically makes the universe 4.3 billion years old (or whatever the current running number is)? However when a more relevant and fully substantiated source, such as the Bible, says otherwise... one is compelled to wonder.

OK, the number you're thinking of is 13.7 billion and yes it's a carefully calculated figure obtained from genuine data!
I hate to break the news to you, but your band of primitive goat fuckers got a lot of wild ass guesses utterly incorrect!
"So radioactive decay automatically makes the universe 4.3 billion years old (or whatever the current running number is)? However when a more relevant and fully substantiated source, such as the Bible , says otherwise... one is compelled to wonder."
He honestly believes that a bunch of mismatched fanciful ruminations from bronze-age goatherders is more relevant to determining the age of the universe than scientific evidence, and is fully substantiated in doing so? The poster is clearly not rooted in reality. One is compelled to wonder, all right---wonder what meds might help his mental condition.

Only a hefty dose logic, understanding, reading, and a shot of vitamin R, "reality".
I think that this post was from Bizarro World. He MEANT to say
"So the Bible automatically makes the universe 6000 years old (or whatever the current running number is)? However when a more relevant and fully substantiated source, such as the radiometric dating, says otherwise... one is compelled to wonder."
So modern science automatically makes the universe 13.7 billion years old, but a fantastical string of fairy tales which contradict themselves, facts and common sense written by bronze age farmers 2000 years ago says otherwise...one is compelled to wonder.
Let me guess, which one?,,,Never read the Bible and parroting fundamentalist preachers or no understanding of the words "relevant" or "fully substantiated"
Could be both in the end as they usually only hear those words from conservatives of fundies when they're in full bullshit mode.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
