Is The Earth Really Billions of years Old?

Question

Consider this video, please research this carefully and answer without bias and with objectivity, look at all evidence without emotion, like a computer, with no bias.
There are a Large and growing number of FORMER Evolutionary Scientist that have seen the fabrications in Evolution, why is that I wonder.

Consider these Videos. (remember, no Bias, and no emotion)

PB_GenX,,You are also as well Bias, and have not examined the evidence, and have came to your conclusions so quickly without Bias

Answer 1

The earth is not millions of years old or billiond as some claim. Many scientist teach that it is very old, but they base all their information on false science. God tells us if science, KNOWLEDGE, is against what He tells us, it is false. Those of us that believe in God and obey Him, know that what He says is true. We do not need the so called evidence of the scientific community. God is the one that gives us all our brains and the information we learn. But, the devil teaches many false THEORIES, and ppl just assume because it is from science, it is true> JUST NOT SO. We now have science that is saying being homosexual is normal, and that is ok to take a human life thru abortion and thats its ok, as its not life yet. Funny, baby is growing and has HUMAN DNA. what what is this thing? NOT a blob of tissues, a fetus... Its a small baby growing inside its mom waiting to be born. God says not to murder, and that it is sin and so is homosexuality. These are the same scientists that are claiming our word os millions of years old. WE compare all anyone says to us against what God says and that settles it for us. What God says is what matters, the rest is not to be worried about. The devil loves it when he can confuse us and do things to tear away at our faith. Evolution is a giant lie. Things may evolve over time, as if you put an animal in colder climate, some will grow more hair to be able to survive that. And some do not, Thats all Gods design, not ours. It is all intellingent design, not some big bang theory, or that we came from monkeys, or fish. See any half fish walking upright lately and having characterisitics of man? I think not. Nor did they find fossils of half cave me and half fish. Gimme a break, and yet these are the same scientists that tell us all a bunch of bunk about everything else. Most is lies.
ONly God knows how old the world is, and we can guess all we want, Doesnt even matter, does it? The fact is, however old it is , it was created by God and God alone. and it doesnt matter. What does matter is that we believe in God, and we obey Him. and accept His invitation to be saved and go to Heaven with Him forever and over. That requires our knowing the Word of God and obeying that word, as it is a whole book about the plan of salvation, how to get it and how to guarantee salvation. and it lists all the devices of the devil to take it all from us. He is wiley and sneaky and good at what he does, but God is even better. He tells us how to battle the enemy , things to watch for, etc. WE have no fear, as we know the Lord is battling with us, when we believe and obey. If we arent doing that, we wont be saved. So what good will it do any of us to put an exact date on on this earth and when it was created. It was , and thats all we need to know. Beware of false science. CHeck all things against the word of God and then you just KNOW truth from lies. There is so much evidence from true scientists of a young earth, and some that say there is much to say it is very very old. Fact is, it does not matter, we hear what God says on any issue and leave it there. WHen He has not given us exact information for something, it is because we dont need to KNOW it. I dont need to know how old a person is when I meet them, to know they are a human being, but I can tell in a matter of minutes whether they are Christian or not. Lets all just move on and get to know God and learn that by Jesus stripes we are healed and He has given us power and authority over this world to be overcomers, even in the battle that the devil wages against us. SPending forever trying to know how old the world is will not get us into Heaven, even if we guessed it perfectly. But, how many of us truly know the Lord , intimately. We must study the Bible more, not just read it, intensive study, and it is absolute joy and fun. Pray more without ceasing, and asking for divine revelation which comes whe we obey God. Jesus is coming soon. Are you ready ppl?? are you sure you are saved? If not, get to know Jesus today. No matter how old the world is, its God that will take care of it and every problem that we each can have on this earth.
God will bless to fullness those who will follow Jesus, and desire to be like Him, and to obey the Father as Jesus did.
Workout your own salvation with fear and trembling, and leave the rest to God who I assure you knows just what He is doing. SEek and you will find and all will be added unto you. and while we are on the subject of how old things are.... So many desire to know the exact number, yet make no effort to care for this planet. If we care about our world, lets stop the worrying on exactly how old it is, and start taking care of what we have. God provided it for us, and we are to take care of it. How many still driving the gas hogs out there? Maybe even some of the scientist that are hung up on prooving we are billions of years old. What does matter is that we take care of what we have, or it wont last much longer. Now, that matters....

Answer 2

Normally I wouldn't answer a question like this but having read many of the answers posted I felt challenged to answer it WITHOUT BIAS.
Harder than you think as the first instinct is to ridicule.
My back ground is as follows - brought up as christian and educated strongly in sciences as were my parents.
I believe the god-given intellect of geologists, nuclear physicists, biologists etc is quite correct.
Does this conflict with the bible for instance? it depends on how you interpret the bible. And remember the bible wasn't written in english, wasn't even written in latin so by the time we have read it it has been translated and interpreted quite a few times by ordinary god fearing (maybe) men.
Also, funnily enough, it isn't one book. but many written over several thousand years - ish. Each with it's own author and INTERPRETATION.
Colloquial and ancient languages and translations must be taken into consideration when 'trying to understand' the bible. And that is all we can do - try to understand - with our own god-given intellect.
Each text of the bible was written in a time of (1) limited literacy, (2) very limited science and (3) small social global horizons. So to make it understandable to the people it was written for ie. in that place and time, it has appropriate language.

I don't know any of the translational difficulties but I personally consider with my OWN god- given intellect that the six 'DAYS' are periods of time, stages in a process. Along with the day of rest, it all fits in too neatly for a MAN MADE 7 day week.

Despite the above - I see no conflict. There are more important things to worry about - 10 commandments, 7 deadly sins. ANd most importantly LOVE.

Believe what you want, justify it how you want but surely it's how we lead our lives that's important.

And keep this religion/philosophy away from the serious science stuff.

Answer 3

George, in case you're particularly curious then you certainly probable have a techniques and it probable thinks particularly lots. So, you have the ordinary standards. Now, take the responses of the above actual human beings for actual and carry on with it. pass and notice what the human race has stumbled on by using interest and thinking via fact the bible advance into written. that's an excellent, techniques-boggling journey. I assure you will savour it. Or, you will possibly be able to desire to easily take a seat there and settle for that the bible is the beginning up and ending of all expertise. What a waste that is.

Answer 4

OK, let's approach this with maximum caution. There are some who claim the earth is only a few thousand years old. They are in a minoriity, and most are unqualified to hold their opinions, but - for arguments sake - let us humour them. We will ignore all the evidence on earth.

So, what else can we measure?

The age of the solar system!

A lot is known for sure about the formation of stars and solar systems. They evolve from an accretion disk, and these have been observed in somen of the star nurseries (eg the eagle nebula). We know from observation and rocks bounced off the moon and mars (from meteorite impacts) just how old they are.

Our sun is around 5 billion years old, and approaching middle age. The disk that formed the sun also formed the planets. So, even if we ignore the evidence on this planet, we still have a good idea from the age of our solar system.

I personally believe the overwhelming weight of evidence gleaned from earth sources. I have also read quite a bit of Creationist literature, and have trouble accepting their quite odd arguments. For example, if you come across something you don't like, you say "God made it APPEAR that way ...". Science doesn't accept that type of reasoning, and demands people do things 'the hard way'. However, for your purpose, we can ignore everything on this planet, and STILL find the answer from beyond it.

Answer 5

The video makes a wide range of spurious arguments that could be rephrased along the lines:

1. children believe enything you tell them and thats why they believe the age of the earth/evolution (yet he does not apply the same argument to religion, where cruel forms of jevenile indoctrination are used)
2. you get to vote for what is true, and most people vote that they believe in god so my version must be true
3. i don't want to believe my ancestor is a less evolved form, so that alone debunks the argument
4. i taught science, so what I say must be right.

All of these are ludicrous lines of reasoning.

The age of the earth is a fact ans so it should be capable of being established by independent and verifiable observation. So the question is "what age can be verified for the earth and how can it be verified?" These are things you can research for yourself, and carry out both the measurements and calculation for yourself to check that they are accurate and true. If you are suspicious you should do this (you may not wish to carry out the full measurements, but trust that those who have are not lying - its simpler).

The earth can be dated in a number of ways that basically rely on the constancy of the laws of physics. In other words, EITHER the laws of physics have been mcuked about with over time OR the age of the earth can be derived from them.

Examples of how this can be done include:

1. you can calculate the heat of formation of the Earth from the gravitational potential energy equation and knowledge of the mass of the Earth; you can then measure the core temperature and from it you can estimate the length of time the Earth has been cooling for using the laws of cooling
2. you can examine isotope ratios, and rely of the half life of isotopes being constant over time
3. you can date materials from fission tracks left by radioactive decay of uranium.

These all gives dates in the billions of years. Now either this date is correct or the physics behind nuclear power is wrong (so there was no atom bomb or nuclear energy - it was a hoax), cooling laws are wrong (so engineering does not work) or the law of gravity is wrong (so we cannot have satellites).

You cannot have it both ways. You cannot preserve the laws of physics that give you the things you see around you and have a young earth. Its not possible. Its as simple as that, so this guy has convinced himself of doublethink, and is relying on the lack of scientific sophistication of his audience.

This makes him a dangerous and very dishonest person.

Answer 6

I will take the time to watch, and try to be as unbiased in my opinion. which I'll give later.
Thanks for the link.
Sorry I can't watch the whole thing, the tone is set early on with arguements that a bright ten year old would see are fallacious, so whatever follows is built on treacherous foundations.
Mind you I do see why the speaker needs God, if he thinks humanists would logically just want to party and forget the consequences, then some sort of moral imperative needs to be in place.
I know you asked for no emotion, but as you are not God I need not obey, and say I find what I've seen of the video does stir emotions, sadness, mostly.

Answer 7

If you're looking for friends in the scientific community to back up your psuedo-science, I seriously doubt you'll find them. The scientific community values the integrity of factual information that can be verified and repeated. They are concerned with what things really are and how they work in reality. I think perhaps you've learned your lesson and will keep such inquiries within the realm of hocus-pocus and other such tomfoolery.

This is Science and Mathematics, not R&S or Mythology.

Answer 8

Geez, here I was thinking you were outside the R&S section, asking a serious question due to your genuine inquisitiveness.

Instead, I find you here spreading lies and trying to convert people away from reality and into your delusions of God.

Shame shame. You have no business in this section, just like you and your bretheren claim atheists have no business in the R&S section.

Seeing as you want an opinion of the video, here goes: "I used to teach science so what I say is true" is a horrible arguement. Stating that children are indoctrinated into Evolutionary theory - without bothering to mention that children are indoctrinated into RELIGION AS WELL - is complete BS. This was a poorly made anti-evolution argument.

Answer 9

No it is not. Go to www.backtogenesis.com It has been proven that carbon dating is not correct. They had a piece of lava rock that was dated by scientist to be over a thousand years old. Turns out it was really only days old.

Answer 10

Who do you listen to ?

In this case you have 2 choices....... you either believe scientists and researchers who have revolutionised thinking and life over the last 2000 years or so, or listen to some goon who says that the bible must be true - (remember the bible was written by people.)

Next you are going to tell me David Blaine is God.

Where do these people come from ????

Answer 11

Sorry, they've got nothing. No, there is not a growing number of scientists thinking that we have a young Earth - if you have to lie to support your position, maybe that's because you've got nothing but the lies. 99.999% of the world's scientists will tell you that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Maybe YOU'RE the one that needs to look at the information objectively - information like radioactive dating techniques.
