Scientific theory: an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.

Fallacy: the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument.

Nice way to contradict yourself in just one sentence

Hahaha

Neoteny:
Bible thumpers will tell you the earth is only 7,000 years old

One even told me 2,000 years. Can you imagine?

SenatePresdo:
How this guys calculate the years of this fossils that stretches to hundreds of million still baffles me.

.. You are a black man... So no surprise here

mansakhalifa:


It's sad, men.

Some amongst us look like humans but baboons are far more intelligent than these jokers.

Too sad, most of them have made their brains useless. Ordinary photosynthesis graduates from universities can't explain again. Soon they would say how do scientist know the composition of water

mansakhalifa:


Are you one of those biblical people who believe that the Earth is just "2000 years old"?

I hope not. Lol

It is not about believing the bible on how old the world is but what is the criteria used by scientists to calculate how old the remains this dead animals? It is not a matter of lol. Educate me please

Thank you for saying trash.

Hmmm

. 330 millions years? what is the possible age of the whole according to scientists?

Can they even spell photosynthesis to start with. Explaining it might be too big a task to accomplish.

Look at the comments. They are simply nauseating. To think this forum is global.

What would people think of us?

I am really ashamed. Sometimes when whites give racist remarks on blacks, I just laugh because deep down we gave them the opportunity to do it.

Have u ever heard of Radio Carbon dating?

330million?

Biko how old is the earth again?

BigJoe19:

What can we do?

The very reason Africa's gonna be third world for some time. We need change how we think.

DropsMic:

You still did not answer the question.

How do they know that the fossil up there is 330 million years old? This is science, right? Science tells us to use PROOFs & FACTS to validate. What proof & FACT do we have available to definitely say, the fossil has been PROVEN (visible & tangible) to be 330 million years old?

Joystark:
330million?

Biko how old is the earth again?

For me to answer your question, I have to ask you a question. Which department were you in when you were in secondary school ?

Ghostmode2two:

OK OK OK...

I stink at explaining things but I will tell you one thing. When scientists want to find out these things, they deploy methods such as radiocarbon dating process or radioisotope dating and things like that. In this case, which involves fossils of whales, they must have deployed radioisotope dating to arrive at the possible age of the fossils as radiocarbon dating won't give them exactly what they want as those fossils are well over 60,000 years old.

And you also have to know that the earth is billions of years old. And all through history, a lot has changed about the planet. So, if at age 11, I was already aware of the fact that much of North America and certain other continents were under the ocean some millions of years ago before the ocean finally receded giving way to land, then I am really surprised that many full-grown adults are ignorant of that fact.

Man, tell you what. The Earth is a wonder. And science is the way to go. I am an Art student FYI. But I deeply appreciate the sciences and wish my people can embrace science fully.

Una dey craze ..


How you take know say na 330 million years?

Una just dey talk anyhow

how plane dey take dey fly ?how you go dey naija call person wey dey Brazil or Australia he go answer you go even see him for video call,how rocket dey go moon you no know how submarine dey go under water you no know and you wan argue about shark's age take your mentality to Chad or Somalia where people with type of your mindsets live

Google RadioCarbon dating! These things are taught as far back as secondary school!

Oh, of course. Of course.

How we think gives me the jitters sometimes. It scares and embarrasses me all at once.

We are miles behind in this regard. Wonder what all our science departments are really churning out in the name of graduates. Many of these guys making these dumb comments might probably identify as science students or hold science degrees you know?

Seikiri1:
Nawa oo...
What do those so called scientist take us for.

Scientists gave you that phone/laptop or gadgets you're using

How old you now that you seems to be a genus from age 11? I wonder why you can't just educate a fellow without garnishing it with insults

amokemi:
Ok

Na like this FTC be? Rogers network did well today.

This is dedicated to all honest Nigerians who are doing legitimate jobs to survive. May almighty God bless your hustle. And to all of you whose source of income bring anguish to others, may you meet your waterloo soon.

And to all those Nigerian university professors and researchers using research grants to flex, you will soon be fished out.

God bless Nigeria.

amen,and same to all those that take gain than they suppose to,

Over 330 million years and Jesus never come.
And those guys saying Jesus is coming they should all park well.

Temple1288:


Meanwhile Scientists from the Zoo called Nigeria are lined up in Winners Chapel screaming AMEN!

You're mad Sir!

mansakhalifa:

That's even less than the time of Jesus

Ghostmode2two:

Wasn't trying to insult nobody.

I have never insulted anybody on Nairaland, you know?

And that comment wasn't even directed at you in particular. It was directed at all those on this thread who read the original post by the OP and still couldn't understand this part below:

The sharks lived about 330 million years ago in what is known as the Late Mississippian geologic time period, when much of North America was covered by oceans.

-Cheers, man.

How old is the entire universe sef??!

Neoteny:

He said that the world started right after Jesus was born.

No joking, man. I'm for real. Dude wasn't even a Nigerian. For that, I am thankful to providence.

He was a Ugandan. Met him on BBC FB.

Most of them only get interested in things that have to do with tales of spirituality, like stories of how a person performed blood money, how a virgin can pray for you to be successful and many other funny things.
