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.
