Comments on: Science teacher insists the earth is less than 10,000 years old

I believe in God and Jesus and all that good stuff, but I might be more inclined to believe believe the earth is closer to 5 billion years old than 10K. I’m not saying this guy is wrong at all, but it is tough to dispute science. And then you could say God Made the science to support the belief in an older earth just to keep “faith” alive. I like the fact that the bible and science often disagree with each other. I think it keeps life interesting. What about that burning bush is the bible? Or Jonah being swallowed by that whale? Did that stuff really happen? I think what it boils down to is that folks are going to disagree. We don’t have to do a science project to figure this one out
Thanks for posting the article

Eventhough we have different religions, we have different beliefs in life. One thing is for sure we have only one GOD.

I am a christian and a believer in evolution. You can not overlook the science that is presented,
But you can not overlook all of the people that WITNESSED first hand all of the miracles that god and his son did. I witness them every day even after his death.

Congratulations, Avery!

While I think it very likely that the age of the universe is much more than 10,000 years, I realize that is just a belief, based on incomplete information. More important, I understand that science is always, by definition, open to new evidence. There is no such thing as “Settled Science”, or “Scientific Concensus”.
There are lay people with hardened ideas, of course. Even in the face of contradictory evidence, for example, lots of people believe in the fraudulent manmade global warming hypothesis, and want massive governmental intervention to combat it.
In my country, the United States, at one time we understood that the rights of man plus the power of government equals a constant. Any increase in government power comes at the expense of individual liberty. I personally believe the whole manmade global warming hoax was perpetrated to forward the creation of a universal totalitarian government.

Interesting to see the Nurse all in a huff about teaching something that isn’t substantiated by science in schools. Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” can’t be shown in British public schools without telling the little ones that it doesn’t represent both sides of the issue, and the tykes must be told about nine(or is it eleven?) whoppers old Al tells in the movie.
The man-made global warming hypothesis doesn’t stand examination using the scientific method. Some of the most important research at the Hadley Center at East Anglia University, and NASA has been shown to be fudged, and fraud has been discovered by those trying to cover it up.
If the nurse really believes science is superior to religion, she should learn what science is, and fight against hucksters attempting to abuse the average dope’s misunderstanding of science in order to get money and power for themselves.

The most common ‘proof’ of long ages is radioactive dating.

However, reliability of radioactive dating depends on a number of unproveable assumptions, so the age of the earth cannot be determined by observational science. These unproved and unproveable assumptions include the rate of radioactive decay being constant, no daughter atoms in the beginning, and no parent or daughter atoms added to or taken from the rocks.

Whenever we do see rocks form today, we always see daughter atoms in the beginning, so evolutionary dogma contradicts observational, true science. The fact is we can’t possibly know the beginning state of the rocks or if radioactive decay processes have remained constant throughout all time, and without knowing if these foundational assumptions are true, the long age house rests on loose sand instead of the Rock.

Since the age of the Earth cannot be proven by observational science, educators and schoolbooks should present the different worldviews of an intelligent Creator as well as naturalism, and allow students to make their own choices, instead of brainwashing them with the intolerant religion of evolution.

10.000 years ago to now wow what a science

There are many methods that can be used to find the actual age of the earth, as various effects can be measured over a period of time and used to establish the historical time line.
The Shrinking Sun
Since 1836, observations of the sun indicate it is shrinking about five feet an hour. Studies show this has been true for at least 400 years. At this rate, 100,000 years ago the sun would be twice as large as it is today. Twenty million years ago the sun would have touched the earth.
The Moon’s Dust
Interplanetary dust and meteors is depositing dust on the moon at the rate of at least 14,300,000 tons per year. At this rate, if the moon were 4.5 billion years old there would be at least 440 feet of dust on the moon. The astronauts, however, found a layer only 1/8 to three inches thick. Three inches would take only 8000 years. Even evolutionists believe the moon is the same age as the earth, giving the earth’s age as only 8000 years.
The Magnetic Field
The earth has a magnetic field that is constantly decreasing due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The half-life of the magnetic field is 1400 years. Only 2800 years ago the magnetic field would be four times as strong as it is now. Only 10,000 years ago the magnetic field would be as strong as a magnetic star and be a nuclear power source as the sun. For this reason the earth could not be more than 10,000 years old.
The Earth’s Rotation
The rotation of the earth is gradually slowing down at about .00002 seconds a year. The lost energy is transferred to the moon. The moon, therefore, is slowly moving away from the earth at about 4 centimeters a year. This would put the moon in contact with the earth less than 2 billion years ago. Yet, if the moon were closer than about 11,500 miles, the moon would be broken into tiny pieces, much as the rings of Saturn.
The Missing Helium
Helium is generated as radioactive uranium decays. This is known as radiogenic helium, and is the primary source of helium in the earth’s atmosphere. If the earth were really 4.5 billion years old as claimed by the evolutionists, the atmosphere would be saturated with this helium. But it isn’t. Where did it go? It can’t escape to space. The simple answer, of course, is that the earth isn’t really that old.
The Comet Mystery
Comets, as they orbit the sun, are literally torn apart by gravitational forces, internal explosions, and solar winds. Short period comets can’t exist for more than 10,000 years. Most astronomers believe that comets originated at the same time as the solar system. That limits the age of the solar system to about 10,000 years.

Gods book is the rule book.
Follow the rules.
He is the umpire.
He calls the balls and strikes.
You are but dust.
Talk to your creator and ask Him.
