There is No Biblical Support for Young Earth Creationism

I posted a link to a significant amount of scientific research which fairly conclusively proves that the universe is far older than 4000 years. If the universe were 4000 years old we could look into the night sky and see only a few stars as most of them are significantly further away than 4000 light years. There are cultures and organisms significantly older than this presumed date. Yes, radiometric dating is fantastic and scientifically sound evidence that the age of the Earth is significantly older than 4000 years. Carbon 14 dating only works to about 50,000 years or so any carbon dating of the significant amounts of organics we have within that time range more than proves the point. The methods are fine. Citing one link from a kooky computer scientist at a second rate university is extremely substandard reasoning to suppose that the totality of physicists and geologists in the world are wrong. I have repeatedly shown there are vast numbers of very good evidentiary reasons to suppose a the universe is significantly older than he claims. Flood basins are significantly different than the Grand Canyon. One would need to be completely demented to suppose that a world wide flood would cause such an artifact. Also, there is no evidence of humanity being wiped out. In fact, the central part of the United States was populated by a large human population from more than 10,000 years ago. Having come over the Bering strait from northern Asia. I'm not saying that humanity couldn't be wiped out, rather than humanity wasn't almost wiped out. Clearly that is not true. Nor does this require a flat world or any kind of odd new geology. My opponent is violating one of his core premises. He is supposing that the Bible is inaccurate. He argues for Young Earth Creationism when clearly that cannot be accurate because the earth isn't young. The Bible would not support a false doctrine, ergo the Bible does not support YEC. This was never denied in any aspect of the debate. Secondly, my opponent is misinterpreting the Bible and clearly not read the book. He's clearly a Sunday Christian who fails to understand the most basic concepts. For example, he says ". .. does my opponent believe that God created . .. everything in a perfect equilibrium? Of course not! He created a beautiful, diverse world. " This is contrary to the most basic elements of Scripture. God did create everything in perfect equilibrium! EVE SINNED AND SCREWED IT ALL UP! My opponent would have you believe that Christians are backwards and the Bible contradicts reality when everybody knows that to be absolute hokum. . http://www.youtube.com... Young Earth Creationist doesn't have a lick of truth and the Bible is truth incarnate. They have nothing in common. Proving the Earth is old takes the smallest fraction of science, and is widely accepted the world over as truth. Geology, biology, physics, radiometric dating, astronomy, cosmology, population dynamics all establish without a shadow of a doubt that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old and the universe is 13.73 billion years old. I've posted a number of links which firmly establish this. It isn't that God couldn't have created the Earth how it is today, but rather that the Earth is clearly billions of years old. Seriously you want me to accept that the Bible says the universe was created 6000 years AFTER the Egyptians first brewed beer? If you are simply going by God's power, then tu quoque, you are saying that it's impossible that God made a universe much larger and older than you suppose. You're interpretation of the Bible is clearly wrong because your conclusions are clearly wrong. I mean, if you thought that the Bible said the Earth was flat would you believe the Earth to be flat contrary to all the evidence that it's very much a sphere? In fact, there are some people who do do this and they too are misinterpreting the Bible. The universe cannot be different from how the true interpretation of the Bible says it is, and since the world is older, the Bible clearly does not suggest otherwise. When the Bible says year or day it could mean anything, perhaps eon or 2.6 billion years. My opponent never disputed the core of the argument. So long as one accepts that the Earth is older than 4000 years, my logic is not in contention. No part of my argument was challenged outside of the facts. The only question raised is whether there is good scientific evidence that the Earth is older than 4000 years. And there is. QED. My opponent would have you believe the world is flat because somebody somewhere misinterpreted the Bible to make that supposition. I'm sorry I've heard enough irrational blasphemy from my opponent today.
