I said it was a theory.
So proof is required for us and no proof is required by you. I guess in your world there are no scales. Just me me me me me me me me, I think you get the picture.

This is incorrect. Dendrochronology and carbon 14 dating are good for similar time frames and are totally different methods. The mid Atlantic ridge has about three different dating methods that have been employed. Reality is that this is a made up apologetic by young earth creationists with an agenda. Again go talk to the real scientists who use this methods.
i have looked at the actual science, and unlike you, i have looked at the science that does not always agree with me...i suggest you try it on this issue. But hey, show me anything that is actual "proof" that something, anything, existed 10 million years ago, with no assumptions nor "a probably" involved.
I see the absolutism game coming out again. Unfortunate. Again for Noah I have given you a wide range, but I know you will not even try.

I can imagine that if an asteroid hit our planet, trees would burn before the Flood. Coral has been shown to grow very fast under certain conditions. Man, according to the Bible also lived longer under certain conditions.

So science has some areas which are solid and others which are not. Is that what you are saying? Is there a ranking system for theories? Like maybe we are pretty sure of this one +9 or not so much +2.5. Maybe we could all vote and hold up cards like judges. Or do you make it up as you go along. Much like what you do on these boards. I am sure many in the science camp would disagree with you.
I guess theories in general could be classified in some form of the ladder theory. The ladder theory speaks of relationships between men and women. But we could say that some theories catch the eye of scientist and they so want the theory to be true. Check it out. You may see the relationship.

Well, some can IMAGINE there is no God. They aren't dreaming either.
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people living for today
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You, you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one I hope some day you'll join us And the world will live as one
PURE WORSHIP!!!
