Earth, How old?

[jooker]

The earth is not 10k years old. It's over 4.5 billion years old

Thanks, we know, was merely trying to give Sythe an interesting controversial topic.

You've all completely ignored the lack of dust on the moon.

Not saying the earth is 10 000 years old, but what do you say to that?

I say that it's so ridiculous that your own creationist friends call it an "argument not to use."

Too Little Moon Dust
Only a thin layer of dust covers the moon’s surface. However, this does not prove a young age for the moon. Before the Apollo lunar missions, a few scientists had predicted that a yards-thick layer of dust should have settled on the moon over billions of years.

Those predictions got a lot of press, yet further satellite measurements of dust in space indicated a much smaller rate of accumulation than previously assumed. This does not mean the moon is billions of years old; modern scientists cannot know the rate of dust accumulation in the past or the amount of dust originally on the moon. Therefore moon dust cannot be used as an age indicator one way or the other.

nice.^

Don't call me a creationist, found an interesting topic and was interested enough to try and argue a point.

Off by a factor of 1000. Fix'd.

Also, guys, c14 dating isn't used to date things of more then 50,000 years of age. Please get your facts straight.

Yep, my fault. I meant "billions".
Anyway, c14 isn't the only method used for dating finds.

Not all creationists believe that the earth is only 10,000 years old. The first verse of the bible says that in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth. The second verse says that the earth was dark and lifeless and the third says that he created light on the earth. There is no way of knowing how much time is in between the "beginning" and the seven days of creation on earth. Personally, I believe the earth is around 4.7 billion years old.

So, you're saying that the earth is 4.6 billion years old, yet life on earth has existed for under 10,000 years? That's equally ridiculous.

It's ridiculous to you because you believe in evolution, not to me because I believe in creation. Let's not get off topic here as we're talking about how old the earth is, not how long life has been on the earth.

Don't put these two on the same level--they're not. Creation is an argument from ignorance, and Evolution has proof.

Actually Pangea is way more recent stage than the creation of the earth itself.
Pangea is datable at around 200 millions years ago.

Again, as I'm a Creationist, I don't think Pangea was that long ago.

My belief is that 4500 years ago, when there was the flood (Look up Genesis In the Bible) That Pangea was flooded so the land became the way it is today.

I'd say noone on earth knows how old is earth. You may ask why is that?

Its because we are living in present not in past, i mean how could a person from 10000 year ago know about our future, this is not real. I mean noone knows the real age of eath.

what a laod of crap that vid is

Earth could be billions of years old, this is unanswerable. All we know are approximations for when changes occurred.

 

[Foetus]

It's unanswerable if you keep refusing science and the answers it provides ^^
But everyone can believe what he wants >_>

Scientifically prove how old the earth is, do it now.
All you can do is theorize.

Don't dis the word theory, or any variation of it.

Look at this chart and study:

Muck your way through these readings.

Ah! That's the one where god decided he fucked up so he decided to unleash a massive flood on the world. Good thing Noah built a big ass boat and kept a thousands of animals in it.

What does that have to do with the age of the Earth?

Also a great thing that those kangaroos could swim all the way for south-east Asia to Australia.

It is impossible for the world to be 10,000 years old or anything remotely nearby.

The light from distant stars takes hundreds of thousands of years to reach us, if the universe was 10,000 years ago, we would not see any stars.

Don't post this crap.

Nobody believes in evolution any more than we believe in electricity or gravity.

It is an undebatable fact, there is absolutely no valid argument against it.
