Are Fossils evidence of evolution ....or are the evidence of fossils

Actually there is a reference, the Big Dipper and the North Star are like the hour hand on a wrist watch.

Not if you have been lost in a dark cave for 10 days, and then find the watch, wind it, and cannot set it. 

Play along so you can understand the analogy.   You cannot calibrate scientific instruments to date items, either.

And, what's that got to do with the price of eggs in China?

Doesn't everything?  Makes you wonder why things with very short half-lives still exist on Earth if it's billions of years old.

How did they come up with 13.6 billion years age for the universe?  Well, I mean besides completely guessing.

spark discharge meter what??, are you sure about that junkyard story seems alittle wingin.

That's probably because you don't know anything about spectrometers or how to calibrate them, or the point being made in the junkyard story.

Ok I’ll play along,

1. how did you know you where in a dark cave for 10 days before you found a watch.

2. how do you know scientific instruments can not be calibrated to date items?

Because I set the scenario so that you would realize the watch cannot be set, which is the point.  You have a precise instrument that keeps time, but you cannot calibrate it to be useful to you.

I have already answered this in this post.  The instrument, which is very precise and used by intelligent people, cannot be set in a useful way to gauge time.

what radioactive material has a very short life span?

how is it a precise instrument if it’s wind up instrument to work, what is the gauge that says  it’s preciseness

You don't think a wind-up watch is precise?  Look up the definition of a chronometer, which is a standard.

How is a chronometer calibrated? would that be just like the rest of calibration devices a guess. the wind up watch will slows down and stop working if it’s not kept wind.

Since many fossils are inconsistent with a flood, they would be a proof against a global flood.   However, some fossils would be consistent with a flood of limited extent. Actually, many, many such floods.

 

really? I think the fossil record according to those who use it to promote darwins theories are consistent with what we would find with a global flood.

Chronometers are extremely accurate time pieces.  They keep precision time, and they are wind up.

Not every wrist-watches that winds are accurate, but a chronometer is exceedingly accurate.  Therefore, I will make that the wrist watch you found in a cave, a chronometer.

Who cares?  That's beside the point.

No.  And the point is that a spectrometer and a watch are precision.  The further point being, that you cannot set the watch in our analogy, and you cannot set spectrometers to measure time for the same reasons.
