Re: Science Wrong, Bible Right
Oh come on Mary, play along. I'm not debating God or Christianity with you. And to think all this infraction mess started over the love of a girl. Who's to say that God didn't bring me to this site to meet the woman he has set aside for me. (That's just a statement, no debate required) Anyway..this is a science thread so here's you some sciencey stuff...
The age of the Earth is 4.54 ± 0.05 billion years (4.54 × 109 years ± 1%).[1][2][3] This age is based on evidence from radiometric age dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.
Following the scientific revolution and the development of radiometric age dating, measurements of lead in uranium-rich minerals showed that some were in excess of a billion years old.[4] The oldest such minerals analyzed to date – small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia – are at least 4.404 billion years old.[5][6][7] Comparing the mass and luminosity of the Sun to those of other stars, it appears that the solar system cannot be much older than those rocks. Calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions – the oldest known solid constituents within meteorites that are formed within the solar system – are 4.567 billion years old,[8][9] giving an age for the solar system and an upper limit for the age of Earth. *** Copied and pasted from https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/t...the_Earth.html ***
