It's simple really. God took a scoop out of the once round Earth, replaced gravity with acceleration, and took that scoop and rolled it up into a smaller ball, painted it gray, and threw it into the air above the Earth. He than took a giant roller and squiched the Earth into a flat disc-ish thing.

The earth and moon are both approximately 6,000 years old. What was there before, we do not know, as RET does not know.

What...? 6,000?

You believe the Earth is only 10 miles away from the sun too?

The mean distance of the moon 70 m years ago would have been approx. 381,743 km.

Please give any data whatsoever to back this up. BTW "somebody said it was" does not count as data, just so you know.
Gayer doesn't live in an atmosphere of vaporised mustard like you appear to, based on your latest photo.

Also the apparent magnitude would have been -13.78 as opposed to -12.26 that it is today. Ground level visibility may have been slightly increased but I can't be bothered finding out if this would be noticeable or not.

Okay the moon would have been 4 x brighter but I think "brightness" is quite a hard quantity to imagine.

Kathleen is right.
If you say that the earth is flat, you are destroying centuries of evolution.

What layer of rock was being studied here? Just one area that is reletively young to the rest of the planet?

Better bring a better augment, something not so stupid.

Why should we?

People already have...by digging into the deeper layers rock, examining the rock, and concluding the age, whether it is thousands, millions or billions of years old.

Who did this digging, and what gives them the arrogance to think they can tell the age of a rock simply by "examining" it?

They're called "GEOLOGISTS." They examine, do tests and all of that crap to determine the age, the composition and more about the location of the rocks.

Sedimentology and structural geology are a couple of branches that do this as well.

It might be a problem believing in carbon dating, when you don't even think atoms exist like some of these flat earthers.

Well actually yes, just agreeing with someone with no reason given or backup evidence displayed by either party, is just babble.

We like babble here.

Also.

Of course she is.  Obviously the conspiracy is faking all of the geological evidence too.

Sorry Mark, but I am not interested in radiometric dating. We do not know the initial abundance amounts of the elements found on earth. There is no scientific basis for this massive guess of the earth's age.

Radiometric dating--the process of determining the age of rocks from the decay of their radioactive elements--has been in widespread use for over half a century. There are over forty such techniques, each using a different radioactive element or a different way of measuring them. It has become increasingly clear that these radiometric dating techniques agree with each other and as a whole, present a coherent picture in which the Earth was created a very long time ago. Further evidence comes from the complete agreement between radiometric dates and other dating methods such as counting tree rings or glacier ice core layers. Many Christians have been led to distrust radiometric dating and are completely unaware of the great number of laboratory measurements that have shown these methods to be consistent. Many are also unaware that Bible-believing Christians are among those actively involved in radiometric dating.

Where do igneous rocks come from?

How do you explain the tests they have done dating materials that we know how old they are based on writings?  It's not like someone just got this idea and ran with it, they tested it before they ever tried using it.

Is there any scientific basis for your 'guess at the earth's age?

No, but there is no scientific basis for RET's claim, so in the tie, I will trust my philosophical beliefs.

Do you have any proof a specific element originated on earth or not?

You didn't answer my question, so I'll answer it for you.  Igneous rocks are formed from magma deep inside the earth.  Geologists sample fresh lava from volcanoes all over the world and have found that various radioactive elements are in consistent concentrations in various types of lava.  This establishes a baseline for comparing the concentrations of those elements in existing rocks.  The origins of the radioactive elements before they got into the magma is irrelevant.

There's plenty of scientific evidence for the earth being older than 6000 years but there's none so blind as those that don't want to see.

I have to wonder why you are studying chemistry when your faith is so strong that you believe the bible's version of events and appear to be a creationist.

Still, it takes all sorts to make a world.
