    I wonder what the scientists would do if they found nothing in that "1,000,000" year old block of ice. Just pure water. No organisms frozen for eons. Wonder what kind of excuses they would make up to still deny the existance of God.

    Duh. Earth has only existed for 5,000 years. But it was Created billions of years old.

    Just to play devil's advocate, that's not necessarily true if a) that deception is in our best interest, b) the process involved in planet creation involves time dilation, c) we're simply incapable of understanding why things appear to be millions of years old, or d) our definitions of infinite good and love are flawed.

    Arguing against something which cannot be disproved is just as silly as arguing for it.
