the Universe Is Not "Billions of Years"Old (Imnotdutch)

IT HAS TO BE BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD. WODIN IS ATLEAST A BILLION YEARS OLD AND THE UNIVERSE WAS HERE LONG BEFORE HE WAS. THATS ENOUGH EVIDENCE RIGHT THERE. FUCK ALL THAT SCIENTIFIC MUMBO JUMBO. STICK WITH THE OBVIOUS.

The existence of short-period comets indicates the universe is less than billions of years old.

Assuming that no comets were created after. A stupid assumption, as everyone can see.

The moon contains considerable quantities of U-236 and Th-230, both short-lived isotopes that would have been long gone if the moon were billions of years old. (8, p. 177; see also 4, p. 51, for information on rock "flow")

That author forgets to mention that both isotopes are products from other radioactive products. U-236 and Th-230 are formed from more heavy radioactive isotopes. His assumption is therefore wrong.

At the rate many star clusters are expanding, they could not have been traveling for billions of years. (3, p. 29; 4, pp. 30 and 59; 6, p. 44)

New star clusters are formed in the universe and are younger than billions of year.

Niagara Falls’ erosion rate (four to five feet per year) indicates an age of less than 10,000 years. Don’t forget Noah’s Flood could have eroded half of the seven-mile-long Niagara River gorge in a few hours as the flood waters raced through the soft sediments.) (6, p. 39; 7)

So the Niagara Falls are not that old. What does that say about earth´s age? Absolutely nothing.

The size of the Mississippi River delta, divided by the rate mud is being deposited, gives an age of less than 30,000 years. (The Flood in Noah’s day could have washed out 80% of the mud there in a few hours or days, so 4400 years is a reasonable age for the delta.) (3, p. 23; 6, p. 38; 7)

Same as above.

Jupiter and Saturn are cooling off rather rapidly. They are losing heat twice as fast as they gain it from the sun. They cannot be billions of years old. (5, p. 26; 4, p. 43; Jupiter’s moon, Io, is losing matter to Jupiter. It cannot be billions of years old. (4, p. 3)

Another source of heat is radioactive process in the inner parts of the planet. The author doesn´t mention it.


And these are just the faulty facts that an amateur like me saw when reading through it once. I´d like to see a real scientist tear that apart. I´m pretty sure most "facts" here are taken out of context.

I don't think there was actually a beggining to wodin,he just has always been.

didn't read the thread, however

all i have to say is

RADIO CARBON DATING

You must have missed the "Noah's Ark" thread where buff has disproved (via some obscure website) that carbon dating doesn't work...

You better run right out and join you a church, bro.

big bad buff, how about posting the link where you got that info?

I was thinking more along the lines of the Church of the Subgenius.

Praise be to BOB!

this website says the universe is older than 12.5 BILLION years.

Who's right? Who cares.
