I studied astrology and astrophysics, so I rely on science and facts. I was going to connect my life with astrology. The opinion that 6,000 years of earth is completely untrue. Moreover, the people who say this - just do not look facts in person. I think that these people are victims of manipulation. This is the same case when some people believe that the earth is flat. Just imagine that in 2018 there are people who claim that the earth is flat, it's horrible.
I'm inclined to believe the work of the famous geochemist Claire Patterson. He did a lot for his life. His work is impressive. He managed to prove that lead is absolutely toxic to humans and affects the environment. (at that time he was coadjured in in leaded gasoline)
Patterson defined the Earth's age at 4.5 billion years. I think that this is true with small errors.
How can you honestly say that the earth was 4.5 billions of years old just by dating methods alone. There are no written records of anyone living in that time to corroborate that. It's only theory based off of tests because it was not observed. You can call it faith if you want and that's a better way of describing that belief because no one actually was around to record these billions of years of the Earth if in fact it is true.
How do you know the age of anything? Simple you see what was written and recorded about it/them, eyewitness accounts etc. That's how you truly test the age of something. Not by running theoretical tests in a lab.
Using carbon dating and all that can be helpful but they don't paint the whole picture.
my opinion is based on the fundamental analysis and research of famous scientists. Their work was recognized by the world community. I was taught this and therefore I adhere to this point of view.
You understand Earl, for every argument you can find a counterargument.
I respect the opinions of other people and do not impose my point of view. We can argue about this for a long time. There will always be people with opposite opinions.
Yepp of course. This is a huggeee topic that would take our whole lives to discuss.
