These stupid scientists from Godless Denmark claims the world is at least 9,500 years old, spitting in the face of all true creation science. Everyone knows the world is around 6,000 years old, it's impossible that this tree could exist before God created the world.
Are these eskimos really serious? Not only do they claim that this tree was there 3,000 years before God created the world, they also claims that it appearently cloned itself 
It may not be much to look at but at 9,000 years old, this is the world’s oldest tree
The fir was discovered on a mountain in national park in central Sweden
Although the trunk is much younger, root system is at least 9,500 years
The tree took root at the end of the last ice age, but could be older
The world's oldest tree has been found on a mountain in central Sweden – and it is still growing.
The 9,500-year-old Norwegian Spruce was discovered by scientists at Umeå University during a 2004 tree census in Fulufjällets National Park in Sweden.
The age of the tree was established using carbon-14 dating at a laboratory in Miami, Florida after an investigation by the university.
It has been able to survive so long thanks to the process of vegetative propagation, which means it is able to effectively clone itself.
While the visible portion of the 13ft tall tree is relatively new, its root system has been growing for almost ten thousand years.
The parts of the root system that were sent to the United States dated back nearly 10,000 years, it is possible that other parts are older, locals told Aftonbladet.
‘During the ice age sea level was 120 meters lower than today and much of what is now the North Sea in the waters between England and Norway was at that time forest,’ Professor Leif Kullman, professor of Physical Geography at Umeå University, said.
'I can imagine that it may be probable that the first firs came from these areas.'
Professor Kullman has named the tree Old Tjikko, after his Siberian Husky.
He says wind and low temperature have seen the tree end up 'like a bonsai tree' with a lot of firs and a small trunk.
'Big trees cannot get as old as this,' he told Aftonbladet.

That time we picked the wrong mushrooms, I imagined that it might be probable that there was a tap-dancing pink Komodo dragon in the bathroom. That did not make it true (fortunately).
