that solves THAT! Obviously if it is the hottest year in a sample of 120 years out of a million, then sure- you are great with math. Did they teach you to this in diffyQ? Oh, that's right. The union shop didn't offer night school any higher than 3rd grade at the ghetto level.

Is it a million years or 30,000, or 6,000 as some people believe? If you can't even prove how LONG something has existed, how can you prove how things have been affecting it for a period of time (which, by the way, may be longer than the existance of the same object).

LMAO @ 6000 years!
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith
If you believe in science, the earth is roughly 4.54 billion years old. Dinosaurs are roughly 230 million years old.
If you believe in the bible, the earth is around 6000 years old, and other such fairy tales.
The age of a fossil may be specified in both relative terms (how old it is in relation to other fossils or rock units) and in absolute terms (approximately how many years old it is). One principle of relative dating is called superposition, which holds that in any one place, the lower rock layers (and fossils in them) are older than higher ones, unless there is evidence that the layers have been overturned. This is logical, since the lower sediments would have been deposited first. A related concept is correlation, whereby rock layers (strata) are compared with others in another location on the basis of their mineral composition, fossil content, and other features. When a rock unit or series closely matches those of another area, they are said to be correlated and considered to be of similar age. Correlations are especially reliable when they include index fossils, which are fossils with a limited age range. Good index fossils are easily recognized and widely distributed around the world, so that they aid both local and international correlations.
Absolute dating complements relative dating by providing a specific (not necessarily precise) chronological age for a given specimen, such as "50 million years before present." In recent years reliable forms of absolute dating became available through the development of radiometric dating methods. These methods are based on the known, regular decay of certain radioactive elements (isotopes) into other isotopes or "daughter products." By measuring the amount of "parent" and "daughter" products in a rock sample, its approximate age may be calculated.
Many people have heard of the Carbon 14 method and assume that fossils are dated by it. Actually , in most cases the C-14 method is useful only on organic material less than about 50,000 years old, which includes many human remains and artifacts, but excludes most fossils. Absolute dating of fossils requires other dating methods such as the potassium-argon or rubidium-strontium methods, which involve isotopes with slower decay rates (longer "half-lives"). Such isotopes are rare in fossils themselves, but may occur in surrounding or adjoining rock layers, yielding an approximate age for the fossil-bearing unit. Using the principles discussed above, scientists also can deduce the approximate age of other layers correlated with the same formation, as well as an approximate age for layers above and below the formation (which would be somewhat younger and older respectively).

Here lies the fundamental problem....It's easy to talk about extreme timelines without realizing how mindboggling long they really are.
What things do we know about from 4.54B years ago until 230M years ago?
What do we know about events that happened 230M years ago till 100M years ago?
How about from 100M years ago till 1M years ago?
Holy crap brah...Mammoths,dire wolves and sabre tooths went generally 'buh bye' a mere 10k years ago and you want to 'assume' that data collected ,that is general at best, makes an 'absolute' prediction over a mere 100 year timeline?
Wanna talk about star mass?...Then when we find out that there are stars nearly 100x larger than ours, we can talk about how small they are compared to the size our galaxy...Then we can compare how small our galaxy is compared to others.
Please continue on your 65k year timeline

In the 4.54 Billion years of earth, there have been several mass extinctions for various reasons. 93% of all life that ever lived on earth is now extinct. Humans are not exempt. So far, they've just been lucky.

You some sort of alien? The proper response would have been "So far, we have just been lucky." but then again, the liberal/progressive mind always feels that it is vastly superior as compared to others.
What was the largest hurricane in the last 65k years?
What was the greatest temperature swing in the last 65k years?....Was it due to CO2?
At it's current,measured rate, is CO2 now considered above it's status of a trace gas?

If you choose to believe science or 'any religion'....the world....AS WE NOW KNOW IT....will in fact END!!! They are both in agreement on this one.....just a different theory of exactly HOW and WHEN it's going to happen. According to both theories....there really is no way to prevent it. Put off the inevitable perhaps......but prevent it? NOPE!

Buck is giving lessons on what... "The proper response would have been" as if his opinion some how is more important than others.

Fixed.
