I'm being a bit argumentative on this, but my point is that the pursuit of science is based on human devices. I take humans to be non-objective. So, we as humans need to define our own truth, which by my understanding is the nature of being subjective. But I could be barking around symantically without much of a point... I've been known to do that from time to time.
This reminds me of something. Where in the bible does it actually say that the earth is 6000 years old? Is it there or is it something that creations are just saying and then trying to back up using biblical references? I'll look it up but I'm certain someone here knows the answer so I thought I'd ask.

@#$%. You just don't get it. If you re-define the year to say a "Llama" which lasts 6 months. The world would last for 9.2 billion "Llama's" by your calculation and it is still true.
Methodology is indeed subjective. Which is why so many scientific papers are thrown out every year based on the methodology. Remember the Korean scientist that said he could clone stem cells? Someone else (several other groups in fact) tested his methodology and found it to fail. Thus his paper was deemed invalid. On the other hand if they were able to repeat the experiment, then that is the first step to claiming validity.
