All the extrapolated data. If you didn't understand what that meant then you should have asked instead of accusing me of whining.
I never regard extrapolated data as evidence, not when it is used for Creation nor for evolution.
I have said often enough that there is no evidence for evolution, just indications. What is so inconsistent about that???
Talking about inconsistencies: Part of your data is from the tree ring record. Look at the bottom of
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/vw_hyperexchange/largest_erups.html
Tree rings give an unbroken record back more than 11,000 years [Becker and Kromer 1993; Becker et al. 1991; Stuiver et al. 1986].
But you claim that the earth is only 6000 years old???
First I never claimed the earth was 6 thousand years old, I just used the number as a starting point.
Christians use the 6000 thousand years based upon genealogy in the bible.
That number is based upon saying my grandfather Jesse lived for 60 years, my father Norman lived for 65 years and I lived for 70 years.
60+65+70=195 years.
Problem is that trail could just be listed from my grandfather Jesse to me.
60+70=130 years.
or worse Jesse's father directly to me.
The 6 thousand years could end up being 10+ thousand years just since the exodus with Moses took place.
Otherwise Here is exactly what was said at the bottom, notice the BOLD and underline.
Modified from Table 3 in Newhall, CG, and S Self, 1982, The volcanic explosivity index (VEI): An estimate of explosive magnitude for historical volcanism: Journal of Geophysical Research 87, 1231-1238.
Additional eruptions added from tree ring data reported in Table 2 of Briffa, KR, PD Jones, FH Schweingruber & TJ Osborn, 1998, Influence of volcanic eruptions on Northern hemisphere summer temperature over the past 600 years: Nature 393, 450-455.
Note that other large eruptions occurred during the last 600 years, according to tree ring and ice core data, but are not indicated here because the source volcano is unknown (e.g. 1809).
The amount of 420 Eruptions worse then cataclysmic over 6000 thousand years was a low estimate and there probaly was a lot more.
