Thanks Russ, your input is always appreciated.

Not really. We look at the evidence of the peat mummies and we can KNOW that they were preserved long after they would otherwise have decayed by their clothes and artifacts. To assume this also applies to wood, which is harder to decay than flesh is nothing but looking at reality, especially when we see cloth, wood, fiber, clothes on the mummies. Whatever else these mummies show, they absolutely falsify the idea that wood cannot be preserved in peat bogs for a long time.

Only when you ignore the evidence that is available.

Have I called you a YEC? Or do I talk about YEC positions and let people put the shoe on to see if it fits? Being a GAP or OEC (old earth creationist) is fine - everyone is welcome to their beliefs, truth is a different matter (there is only one).

There is also always evidence FOR any theory. You can even find evidence FOR a flat earth - the question is what you do about contradictory evidence. Old things falsify a YEC model of the universe\earth, and they have to explain how that evidence has the appearance of age -- the evidence of the tree rings and the correlations that have been presented so far.

Young things do not falsify an old earth (whether OEC or geological), as they can be recently produced in an old earth. Volcanic eruptions do this regularly.

Then you may be interested in some of the evidence to come and how they correlate.

Your two quotes involve evolution and not anything to do with this thread. They are irrelevant and immaterial to this discussion, and I would appreciate less clutter with extraneous information that can lead others to go off topic. Thanks.

Enjoy.

ps - sorry for the false accusation on the other thread.
