Last night i listened to a scientist with several Doctorate degree’s explain carbon dating and problems with the reliability. When carbon dating goes back further than about 1500 B.C., they have to an offset and this offset increases exponentially with every 100 years so the accuracy is minimal the further back they go in time! Our Bible has an explanation for this but if you do not know your Bible you have no explanation! What was one of the differences between the pre-flood era and the post flood era? People lived longer before the flood! Like 700 and 800 years plus! So prior to the flood of Noah the decay rate was much lower like eight or nine times what it is today! True science will always support the scriptures! The scriptures will always be supported by true science! Any proclaimed science like Darwinism that contradicts scripture you want to run like hell away from it because it could send you to hell! When Jesus gives us our new bodies after the resurrection they will have a zero decay rate! However so those that stand condemned before Christ for their denial and rejection of him! This is how they will feel the flames of Hell forever and we will experience the glories of heaven forever! Do not take lightly your redemption! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com

How Old is the Earth? Genesis 1:1-5
The earth does have a birth certificate! Genesis chapter one says the earth was created on the first day of creation! From this we can calculate the age of the earth! From Adam forward to Noah to Abraham to Moses to David to Christ we come up with about 6000 years! The old earth theory began in the late 1600’s. The idea of the earth being millions of years old was based on earth rock layers interpreted by geology. However many problems exist here. Naturalistic uniformity refuses to consider any catastrophic events such as Noah’s flood! The global flood described in Genesis 6-8 would wipe away the concept of millions of years! A flood would explain massive amounts of fossil layers! A massive world flood would rip up many of the previous rock layers and redeposit them elsewhere destroying the previous fragile contents! This would destroy the evidence of an alleged age! So the rock layers can represent the evidence of millions of years or a global flood but not both! Radiometric dating came along in the early 20th century. In 1913 Arthur Homes estimated the age of the earth at 1.6 billion years! Since then it has been raised to 4.5 billion years. However there is growing evidence that radiometric dating methods are completely unrealistic! All uniformitarian dating methods require assumptions for extrapolating present day processes back into the past! There are some questions that should be asked about radiometric dating? Initial amount? Was the parent amount added? Has the rate of decay changed? Was the parent amount removed? Was the daughter amount added? Was the parent amount removed? If the assumptions are truly accurate then uniformitarian dates should agree with radiometric dates across the board for the same event! However, radiometric dates often disagree with one another and with the dates obtained from other uniform methods for the age of the earth, such as the influx of salt from the ocean, the rate of decay of the earth’s magnetic field and the growth rate of human population! Here are some classic examples of radiometric dating! Mount Saint Helen’s in the State of Washington. The rock was formed in 1986. According to K-Ar radiometric dating the rock is up to 2.8 million years old? How about Mount Etna basalt in Sicily? The rock was formed in 1972. According to radiometric dating the rock is between 210000 to 490000 years old? This is not rocket science! This is junk science! The age of the earth comes down to trust! It is a world view issue! Will you trust what the all knowing God says on the subject or will you trust imperfect man’s assumptions and imaginations about the past that are regularly changing! Source: Answers in Genesis! Comment: Here is a clue about the age of the earth! All the planets in our solar system including the earth are all the same age! This fits Genesis! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
