How Old is Your Favorite Planet?

Do your think the earth is billions of years old?

Why?  Why NOT?......

And more challenging questions to stimulate and rethink what we know ??

We will talk about "YES "Young Earth Science 

Is it Time for a Young Earth?

What is your opinion about the age of the earth?

 A relatively short history for this planet is now a live possibility.

  Now is the time for all good scientists to come to the aid of Young Earth Science (YES).  Formerly, Young Earth Theory was discounted, but consider these words from R. F. Diffendal, from his article “Earth in Four Dimensions: Development of the Ideas of Geologic Time and History”:

   To some extent the arguments about a short Earth history of a few thousand years   

   versus a long history of billions of years are still going on today.  Most natural   

   scientists support the long history.  However, some people including Richard Milton    [Mensan, agnostic, science journalist] … support the idea of a short one. [1]

 

Be rational, this planet is younger than you think.  Some of the best evidences for devotees of a young earth include:

   

          No fossil trees with thousands of rings

          Contradictory radiometric dates

          Solar effects on decay rates

          History only goes back thousands of years

          The human genome is going downhill

          Lack of trillions of Neanderthal graves
