Are any of the Christians here actually Young Earth Creationists? It never occurred to me to ask this question before but I don't recall anyone ever making an argument to support (the Earth is 6-10k years old) argument.

I miss the good old days of the Expelled Board. Knight-in-Black Lether, Navaros and Original Big White. All hardcore YECs.

KIBL was allegedly a woman.

I don't know how old the earth is. Perhaps only God knows that. However, your thread reminds me of a thread I started on the old board. It was about unexplained artifacts. One of the ungodly came in to tell me that the spark plug in the X-ray photo of a rock was from the 1920's. He said that as if he thought it proved something. Okay. The spark plug is from the 1920's. So how did it become embedded in rock that is supposedly millions of years old?  |

I don't know how old the earth is. The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. |

Well, when it comes to the laws of gravity, I guess you don't have to. But when it comes to the age of the earth, I don't see much of an alternative (short of becoming a scientist yourself).

You're trying too hard. A subtle approach would be better. |

Exactly! Just become one yourself. No trust needed. |

That's exactly the point. You can become a scientist and find out for yourself if findings of other scientists are correct. You don't have to take their word for it. And if you find something they didn't, I suggest you brush up on your Swedish.  |

Well, maybe not if one wants to state some specific number of billions of years. But if one wants to go out and look at some landforms...much the same as Hutton, one can kind of guess that the earth is ancient...far far older than a few thousands of years old.
He didn't have the sophisticated radio-dating techniques that tells scientists that the earth is 4.5 billions years old, but he was able to reason that the earth must be hundreds and hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of years old just by observing many layers of rock which must've formed first through sedimentation which became rock and which in some places was turned perpendicular to the layers underneath them suggesting NOT just a long time period to form, but a much longer period to be influenced by processes that COULD turn them up.
All one need do is visit some of the canyons out west to see that first, layer upon layer had to have built up over what must've been very long periods of time, judging by how slowing those processes are working now. And AFTER those layers built up, they must have had to be raised by some force so they COULD be worn away by flowing water. IOW, the Grand Canyon doesn't speak of a very very ancient earth because of how deep and big it is, but by the many layers of different kind of rock that had to have laid down BEFORE the canyon ever started forming.

Exactly! Just become one yourself. No trust needed. I took your advice! www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bObR9rq6p8 It was easier than I thought!

Exactly! Just become one yourself. No trust needed. You don't even have to become one to understand geology and dating (any more than you need to be a priest to study the Bible). There are plenty of reputable science magazines at different levels, from layman to expert. |

I'm not sure that there are any on here... or ever really were. If you really believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old.... I'm pretty sure that you also think that the internet is of The Devil.  |

And why is that so goddamn hard? If by becoming a scientist you mean paying for a doctorate in some scientific field, that's not necessary. If by becoming a scientist you mean STUDY SCIENCE, then you absolutely can do that. And you can study particular scientific theories without having a degree in that field. |
