Is the Earth really only 9,000 years old?

[the other mike]

I love it when someone says the earth could support human life a billion years ago, and then they call me the retarded one. ******* hilarious...."duh I have a PHD in geology"

The Earth became habitable for mankind about 1 billion years ago.

The Earth didn't become habitable for mankind. Mankind evolved to inhabit The Earth.

No. Earth generated a free oxygen atmosphere about 1.7 billion years ago. The atmosphere took another 700 million years to get to the point where mankind could live on the planet. There have been MILLIONS of critters evolve, and die out,long before we came along.

We are merely the latest in a long line of critters to pass through.

And, the planet is still evolving too.

If The Earth had evolved to be Methane rich and O2 poor, we all might be methanotrophs addicted to shopping and social media.

Yes, your mom tried hard but you refused to listen to her.

Then what ever critters evolved would have adapted to what was there. Including us.

 

[fncceo]

That's what I mean when I say that Earth didn't adapt to support us ... but, vice-versa.

Gosh. I wish I was a smart geologist too.

So do I. Then you might have something intelligent to contribute.

Yes, you are correct. I misread what you said.

Listen to Mr USMB Group-Think club's most loyal member .

Do you have anything intelligent or interesting to contribute, or are you merely going to troll your thread like a petulant child?

The age of the earth is at your own opinion. You can give it thousands, millions and even billions or trillions years of age if you want to. After all, whatever the age you give to our planet will always be mere conjectures anyway.

However, "life on earth" is no more than a few thousands years old.

When you give "millions years of age" to life on earth, then you are not talking science but stupidities.

I smoked some 9000 year old weed today that was killer.

Is weed like wine, does it get better with age?

Westwall will explain it all to you.
I'm currently ignoring him because he reminds me of an evil step dad I had.

I have heard the longer it cures the better it gets, but as far as increasing the thc content, you'll have to ask our resident experts about that.
Treeshepherd maybe ?

I'm pretty sure 9000-year-old wine would kill you.

 

[g5000]

wow....I'm in a total political mood now....it's hard to switch to a Universal mood just like that....and answer the OP's question

but I will say with no doubt.....the Earth is millions of years older than that...

my opinion here....but it's true

Billions of years older.

Where are our Young Earth Creationists?

People who believe that bullshit are hilarious.

Creationism of any form is bullshit!

Some Young Earth Creationists believe the earth is as young as 6,000 years old.

FAKE NEWS!

 

[g5000]

Uninhabitable means what? It's an adjective.

Capability means what? It's a noun.

You can't be capability or see uninhabitable. Do you understand how stupid that sounds?

Yes, nukes have made it possible to be uninhabitable, but you didn't say we could. You said we did.
