The earth is over 1 million years old

Radiometric Dating: My opponent feels that radiometric dating if false because I have not proven that “IF the source of the solar system was also uniformly distributed with respect to uranium isotope ratios”, however my data on the age of meteorites by radiometric dating lines up in a straight line, thus proving this hypothesis (1). Also, time and time again, the validity of radiometric dating has been scientifically and analytically proven (2,3,4) Number of Meteorites Tested: My opponent argues “"less than 100 meteorites have been subjected to isotope dating, and of those about 70 yield ages with low analytical error." To this I will respond that those 70 meteorites, combined with tens of thousands of rocks that have been radio-metrically dated as older than a billion years old prove my case beyond any doubt (5,6,7,8,9,10,11….). More Arguments: Varves, sandstone deposits, and coral reefs. Varves in case anyone doesn't know are bi-annual layers of silt that are deposited in lake bottoms. They have two layers, a thin fine layer and a thick coarser layer; the coarser layer is from the summer months since more water enters the lake from the heavy rain fall so larger particles can be moved into the lake. During the winter months there is less rain comes so there are smaller particles and finer layers. Now the obvious problem for young earth creationism is that there are lots of them, far more then would be expected if earth were 6,000 years old. One location where there are lots of varves is the green river valley formation; it has 3 million years worth of varves. If earth is only 6-10,000 years old it should have no more then 3-5,000 varves. Sandstone deposits such as the Coconino sandstone were formed by wind deposition in a desert environment. It could not have formed during catastrophic flood. The problem comes in when you consider that over many sandstone deposits such as the one I just mentioned, where there are marine fossil deposits which were supposed to have formed in the flood; How could this be if they were formed in a world wide flood? Coral reefs grow a little annually, in fact we can tell how old a coral is by how much it has grown. There are many coral reefs far older then the flood date (4400 years ago) that would be completely destroyed in the violent events of the flood and definitely not preserved. This appears to be an ever nagging problem for young earth creationists (12). The universe indicates earth is old The final proof I will give involves the entire universe. As you may know the universe is pretty large, the farthest galaxies being almost 14 billion lightyears away. The question that comes to mind when you consider this is, how the universe can be so young and look so old? Young Earth Creationists have scrambled to come up with the answer. Sure you can say God just made the universe to look that way; but when it comes to science that is irrelevant since it is non-falsifiable, now if you want to believe this go ahead, but when it comes to science we need to consider something which can be proven with science the Appearance of Age hypothesis cannot (12).
