How old is earth

[Strongkored]

How old do you think Earth is? Why?

I think human beings can not predict when Earth will survive, even if it was the smartest person in the world. I think if the ground was not persist then it is called Resurrection, and only God knows when the Hour. So do not you bother to calculate how long the earth survive.

My question is, why are you promoting something that nobody knows if factual, and especially when there is strong evidence that it is not factual? Oh, that's right. You are Fluffer Overblow.

*sign*
The thread topic is asking the age of the earth. If nobody was allowed to say anything unless it was 100% factual, nobody would able to make any posts. Be a pretty dull thread.

However, until another theory comes along with more evidence than what we have now, old earth is simple the best we have. Is it perfect? Of course not. But the evidence is certainly conclusive, and nothing yet has even come close.
Old earth won't be losing any sleep over young earth, any time soon.

Maybe 4.54 billion year old earth theory is wrong. Maybe it's trillions of years old!

Bible history is documented eye-witness reports. No theory needed. Eye-witness beats theory, hands down. The earth and universe is less than 7,000 years old.

*yawn*
Where you've gone so wrong is start from the premise that your interpretation of the Bible is the literal description how the universe began, and then proceed to hammer your square peg into round holes.

Then when it doesn't fit, you blame the hole, not the peg. Almost childlike in behaviour.

Your big mistake is not realizing that God exists, even when the points of proof are shoved right in your face. Since you won't accept God, none of the things you say about Him and the Bible have any value.

Perhaps if you come to understand that God exists, then you can start on the journey to understanding His power, and that if He had wanted, He could have made the universe in all of its vast array, faster than a snap of the fingers. He chose to do it in 6 days so He could savor the beauty of it.

If this was true why did god gave us the power of thinking, questioning. God is just energy. The energy that created universe. The energy is in you and every other living and non living being coz every one is the product of earth, and earth of the big bang. So we will question we will research and find out every secret of the universe.

Agreee, we're a product that use to keep our gene using evolution, the one who undergo evolution are the fittest which undergo survival. We fit ourselves in the universe and that shouldn't go the other way around like what theist say intelligent design. We're the one designing ourself to survive with the ever-changing world we live in.

There was no Big Bang. The math that proves evolution impossible also proves intelligence through a Big Bang impossible. In other words, if the BB happened, there would be no intelligence, anywhere.

God is not only energy. He is way beyond energy. Anybody that can cause the complexity in the universe as is seen today (after thousands of years of cause and effect) is way beyond what anybody can dream that energy is. On top of that, we have intelligence, proving that God's intelligence is way larger and greater.

As long as you jokers don't open your minds to what is really going on in science, you are liable to miss the greatest most wonderful thing... God.

Earth has been here for billions of years. It is comparatively in a young planet. Everything around us is energy. The real god is Energy. It can neither be created nor destroyed. Every living thing is the part of eternal energy.  We evolve to cope up with the changing environment.

Billions of years makes the earth a young planet? How long would earth have to be here to make it an old planet?

All our attempts at determining the age of the earth scientifically, are completely inconclusive beyond about 5,000 years ago. To see this, look at the wording the scientists use. They speak in "disclaimers language," so that nobody can come back and say that they lied or even made a mistake.

I don't really know No one really knows how old is the earth. Even science had difficulty on it, in religious state it says 6000 years and in scientific says million years which could actually bring question to our minds regarding to this mystery.

The earth's age is well known. With a margine of error of 1%. 6000yrs? Can you really believe that?

How old do you think Earth is? Why?

I think nobody can answer this question correctly. Scientists use Radiometric dating and they believe they are pretty accurate in their calculations, but what if the speed of the radioactive decay was different say 5 thousand years ago than it is now?

Do you think the laws of physics and mathematics has changed? Maybe 5000 years ago 2+2 was 5?

Scientists have calculated that Earth is 4.54 billion years old, with an error range of 50 million years.

still here is no conformation about this, the scientist are still confused about this. they are giving different ideas and figure about the age of the world. i think that is only Allah who know the real age of the earth and only he can know the ending date of the Earth.

Appeal to ignorance and putting therefore it is god. Remove your head out of your ass to avoid thinking this poorly. If you think science confuse you then don't use the things that scientist made and discovered, go back in stone age life.

Nobody has to talk about God to see that the scientists who calculate the age of the earth constantly use limiting words as disclaimers so that they can protect themselves from libel. This is the way they tell us, themselves, that they don't know that what they are telling us is factual.

Scientist may not tell the absolute truth but they can tell part of it and it means to us.  I believe in scientist because unlike religion claiming certaing things, they claim a certain fact by observing and gathering data. It means it was scrutinized before presented as fact.

For example. Scientists can tell the truth of the half-life of C-14. Because of this, if the C-14 creation rate in the atmosphere was always the same as it is now, scientists could accurately date things.

The point is, scientists don't know if the C-14 creation rate was always the same. In fact, they don't know if there was any C-14 created in the atmosphere at all beyond about 5,000 years ago. So, we don't need all the examples of carbon dating inaccuracies that abound right now. We can see that nobody knows the truth using scientific means.



EDIT: If this was all, we could say that science simply made a mistake. But the fact that they don't tell you that they don't know, shows that they are deceptive, and shouldn't be believed without personal examination of EVERYTHING that they say.

It could be a foundation to base things, even though they might be wrong then what's wrong with that? As long as they are changeable it will never be a big deal. If they see something that is a mistake they can easily remove that data and look for another, scientist are doing trial and error until they get things that may suit things right.

I too think that scientist really predict the age of the earth. everything can not be explained. We may never truly know the age of the earth.

Is that your opinion or is that based on facts? Different opinions still fall within the margin of error, so...no, they are not "confused".
