TO: Aineo
I take a wholistic view of science. For example, if many or all the sciences except astronomy gave compelling evidence that the earth is young, I would find astronomy arguments suspect for a old universe especially if many peer reviewed science journals repeatedly said the old universe explanations were wanting and unconvincing.
But if you want to me to limit my comments to astronomy I have no problem with this. And again, if any wishes to attempt to offer convincing old universe explanations in this thread in relation to planet formation, starts, and solar systems they are free to do so although I certainly believe they cannot.
