Someone who has decided to deny what the bible has to say might take these altered "qualities" differently, saying "hmm these appear to show such and such indicating they would be this old. That is why christian science tends to agree with a 10,000 year old earth rather than a 4.5 billion year old one. That changes a lot of what secular science says, such as evolution (something that would take millions of years to occure). You see there is a very scientifically secure ground in which christianity stands on.
I dont' see how you claim that both evolution and creationism are both based on presupposition. evolution is a science that grew and continues to grow and change based on new findings and evidence. the world is not this simple place where you choose your side and base your theory off it, real science is objectively analysing real evidence to find out as much as you can. all the bible is is a book of claims. there's no evidence or sceintific theory behind it's creation, it was created so as to spread the message that god has all your answers.

besides, the whole water pressure making dinosaur bones look old is just rediculous. besides the fact that there's no explanation as to where all the water came from and went, palaentologists didn't look at dinosaur bones and say "hey, you know that bone looks like it's..... let say 100 million years old". water pressure wouldn't change radioactive decay, wouldn't affect bone decay in the same way, and it doesn't account for there being varations in bone ages by as much as 200 million years and maybe more (speaking strictly of dinosaurs).

what it all comes down to is the bible doesn't actaully have any evidence other than trying find holes in other people's evidence.
