How Old Is The Earth?

[TNHarley]

6,000 years or 4.1 billion?

Here is one argument .....

How Old Is the Earth?

"The age of the earth debate ultimately comes down to this foundational question: Are we trusting man’s imperfect and changing ideas and assumptions about the past? Or are we trusting God’s perfectly accurate eyewitness account of the past, including the creation of the world, Noah’s global flood, and the age of the earth?"

403 years old.

LOL Are you serious?

Nobody knows for sure. You get as many guesses as you want and there are no prizes for guessing correctly. I get multiple guesses.

Dude, that's not a guess. It is fact it is older than that. Wtf

 

[presonorek]

Homo sapiens probably came into existence between 27424BC - 590AD.

I don't know how to determine the age of the earth.

LOL Are you serious?

I don't have access to any facts about the age of the earth. I bet you don't either.

Are you retarded? Saying the earth is 400 years old is putting humans younger than that.
You think history is manufactured bullshit?

 

[presonorek]

You think history is manufactured bullshit?

Most of it. Do you think history is all true? History books are one of the most effective ways to promote propaganda.

Not the part that shows humans are younger than 400 years old. My gawd man

Good gawd man, don't tell us you never been to a museum or planetarium either?

Yeah, we kind of DO know for sure.

Here is the thing. carbon decays at a remarkably consistent rate. Carbon dating is extremely accurate. The Earth is 4.54 billion years in age. This isn't speculation, it is fact.

Evolution is also fact, though we may still debate the mechanisms behind it.

That's not how evolution by natural selection works /\/\

True, which is why natural selection fails to explain the development of species.

What happened is that the giraffes who were most ideally suited to reach food sources tended to survive while those who couldn't died off prior to reproducing. Over thousands and thousands of generations, this left only DNA in the gene pool that supported the phenotype of longer and longer necks.

Giraffes didn't "change" to suit their environment. Long-necked giraffes were "selected" by nature to survive and flourish.

This assumes huge variation in populations, which is supported neither by observed animal traits nor by the fossil record.

The mechanism behind evolution is unlikely to be natural selection based on random mutation. The hypothesis is not supported by the evidence.

Uh, yes it is. By over a century of biological science. And you don't need to see a noticeably wide variation in animal traits in one given generation to predict that small variations will translate to big ones over millions of years. Again, that's how evolution works. It takes a LOOOONG time.

Luckily, people much smarter than you do.

Most Christians DO NOT believe the earth is 6000 years old. Only a very small segment of a couple sects believe that. And it is a false belief proven by the very book they claim to make the date from. God told man man can not fathom God's time or plans.

Carbon dating only works for dating matter back around 50,000 years. Other more heavy isotopes are measured using radioactive decay when we're talking millions of years, like Uranium, etc.

Well that's convenient.

WTF? I was referring to vasuderatorrent.

And I don't even know what your slam means.

That's fair warning. Still these idiots believe the man behind the curtain.

 

[edthecynic]

I was recently watching a documentary about black holes and dark matter, quantum physics and the multiverse theory.... What astonished me was how the various talking heads were framing their comments. They would constantly say, "we now know..." followed by something that is a theory with no evidence whatsoever in observation. Example: "We now know there are multiple universes..."

Liar!
Please post a link to any real scientist who said that, other than a fake scientist like yourself.

You are taking an extremely simplistic view.

First off, this isn't religion, it isn't AGW where questioning of ideas is forbidden. This is real science. If you think that current views of evolution track exactly to Darwin's theories, then you are laughably naive.

We know certain things;

• We know mutations occur
• We know that mutations confer advantage to species
• We know that those who have an advantage are more likely to survive
• We know that change is iterative

What we don't know is what causes mutations. The traditional view that this is just a random occurrence is not entirely accepted. The fact is that species adapt to their environment. If this is entirely random, then the odds are that species in the Gobi are just as likely to mutate thick coats and fat stores like polar bears or walruses as they are to randomly mutate to have water bladders like camels.

The problem is, the fossil record does not support this, we simply don't find creatures in the desert that mutated to survive cold, quite the opposite. Species adapt to their specific environments. There is something FAR more complex than random mutation going on. This is why we evolve, rather than devolve. Species refine, not degrade, changes are iterative and accumulate.
