Give evidence for a young (6000 year) earth, because all the evidence points to a 4.6 billion-year-old earth?

Question

I believe there is none.

Give me real EVIDENCE, not bible quotes, not a mention of god or jebus, not hearsay from alternative science.

I want Data and facts, not faith! This is a Science question! Leavve god out of it!

Ha! Just the fact that you bring up carbon dating shows your ignorance!

Wrong! There has NEVER been a peer-reviewed article that shows ANY indication of a young earth! Where in the world do you get 80%? More like 0%. Well, if you include rouge 'scientists' who are funded by the religious right, then the number comes up to 0.0001%, and still 0% in the real scientific community and journals.

Answer 1

You will get all sorts of wingnuts telling you how The Grand Canyon could have formed in 6000 years, but as for how the vast depth of the rock beds that surround the Grand Canyon, ( each strata with its own unique fossil assemblage ) formed in 6000 years, then you get a few blank looks.
Other examples, The white cliffs of Dover, which is made up trillions of the tiniest coccoliths ( sea shells ) The chalk is thousands of feet thick. Nobody in there right minds can say it only took a few thousand years to be deposited.
It is obvious that the continents of North and South America, Europe and Africa were once joined. The coastlines fit like a jigsaw (more especially the continental shelves) and the shape of the break is mirrored perfectly in The mid-Atlantic Ridge. Due to plate tectonics, The Atlantic Ocean is widening at the rate of about an inch per year. The rate can be accurately measured using GPS technology. In a "Young Earth" scenario, the "pond" would be just that, a ribbon of water a few yards across, not the 3000 miles or so it actually is in places.
The old Chestnut about 'The young Mississippi delta' :- The Mississippi delta is seven miles thick at the Gulf of Mexico. This is too thick to have formed suddenly by a single flood, as such a flood would have spread the sediments out, not compacted them all in one place. The claimed size of the Mississippi delta considers only its current delta. The location of the delta has changed every so often due to changes in sea level and changes in the course of the Mississippi River. In the early Cenozoic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi delta extended as far north as Illinois

Answer 2

A date less tha 4.5 billion years is ONLY based on faith and religous dogma!

The real date is based on sound science and radiometric dating, a worldwide accepted fact.

Here is how:

1) dating meteorites. When we find a meteorite from this solar system that has a similar composition to earth, you get many young ages, but the oldest and most common date to 4.6 Ga (billion years).

2) isotope trends. When you look at certain radiogenic isotope ratios that change with time, like Rb/Sr or U/Pb, you find that many rocks with differnt ratios of many ages form a line, and the line traces back to an origin of 4.6 Ga as well.

The oldest life is 3 1/2 Ga, the oldest rock is about 4 Ga, and the oldest date ever found is on the highly durable mineral Zircon from Australia, it's date is 4.2 Ga. So, there is no direct method, it is based on inferences. However, many different inferences lead to the same number 4.559 Ga (to be specific).

You would have to throw out everything we know and love about Geology to accept a young earth view. When you look at the Grand Canyon, how can you say that only took 6000 years to form?

Answer 3

According to time dilation of the theory of relativity if we plug the numbers in , the earth could have come in to existance a lot faster the we can roughly estimate. Why it was created in the time that it took place is a question that the Only the Creator of the Universe can answer. I find , with my pecuneous inteligence,no scientific way of determining how the earth was formed or even the construction of the Universe.. The dabling with formulas is just speculation. Most scientific data has been probablibalistic.

Answer 4

Over 80% of the methods that can be used for dating the earth indicate a young (10,000 years or less) earth, some only point to a few dozen years.

Scientist evaluated the age of lava from a recent Mt. St. Helens eruption (with in the last 20 years recent) using old earth aging methods. The age of the lava showed to be much older than the eruption.
The silt build up at the Mississippi Delta, given the current rate of build up, shows that the delta has only been there a century or so.

Answer 5

Evidence? You got it.

Helium- there should A LOT A LOT more. There is only about 10,000 years worth.
Fossils records + dating methods- the geological dating doesn't work; circular reason with fossil and fossil layer. Trees stick through layers of millions of different years of fossils.
Water- there is not enough in the Ocean (about 1 cubic mile of water is produced each year)
People- if people have been around for millions of years, there should be 10 to the 2800th power people on the earth. (this is at the rate people have reproduced)
Comets- they disingtegrate too quickly. Comets are supposedly as old as the univers. They dissolve usuallyy iwthin 10,000 years.
History- recorded, atrifacts dated correctly, and word of mouth only goes back a few thousand years.

I had more arguements about lava and other geological evidences but my source is not available.

PS: To answer the Grand Canyon comment:
Young earth Grand Canyon theory: Lots of water, little time.
Old earth Grand Canyon theory: Lots of time, little water.
Very simple.

Answer 6

I agree that there is no evidence, simply because it is not true. There is no doubt in scientific community that earth was created more than 4 billion years back. If anyone says otherwise is ignorant or being stupid.

Answer 7

Damn i gave that p girl a thumbs up by accident what an idiot everything from the past is faith based! then to have the idiotic gall to mention washington who truly existed and has pictures (paintings) and his writing to prove he existed, duh. listen kid follow the true facts, "evidence"if the evidence points in one direction follow it, any one can spout nonsense about creation but with out proof its just that, nonsense!.

Answer 8

you are correct about this 5billion year old earth,the reason you are looking for evidence of a 6-7 thousand year old earth is because this is when so called intelligences started,and when people started keeping track of time;around 6-7 thousand years ago!

Answer 9

There isnt any, even using the bible only, can disprove tthe 6k by mililons of years.

Answer 10

It will be impossible to get any un"faith-based" answers on this question, as none of us were around that long ago and have no way of knowing.

Do you have any real evidence of George Washington? No one I know has seen him.

Everything from the past is faith based. If you don't like it, tough.

God bless.
