Young Earth Creationism is wrong about the age of the earth

HistoryBack before 1600 AD, it seemed widely accepted that the earth was those 6000 years old, that young earthers believes today. This was solely based on the biblical account. However after 1600 AD, people started to become curious and investigate what the earth could tell us(Job 12:8). Slowly the investigations that was made demanded older and older ages. At first the ages calculated was very various. At 1748 was some of the first datings, but this was based on the belief that the world had been flooded, the earth got dated to at least 2 billion years old. Later, in 1774 new calculations was made upon new beliefs, that the earth had been molten and that it had been cooling since. Estimations was in the beginning, by observations upon a heated sphere of iron, calculated to ~75,000 years, but the same guy later changed this and suggested that it was over 3 billion years old(the earth). This was all immature attempts based on a low amount of knowledge. But the fact was that when evidence was demanded besides the bible, it all spoke to an older earth, even though the earlier consensus was based on the bible.[1]Prediction fulfilledThe new knowledge of geology demanded an earth at least 100 million years old by the time of 1850 AD, it was around this time that Kelvin made calculations about the age of the earth based on a cooling model, this was at first calculated to be 98 million years, but later re-estimated at 20-40 million years. This was because they lacked the knowledge about core of the earth and radioactivity, which lead him to these faulty calculations. The calculations on the age of the sun was also estimated too you, due to the lack of knowledge of fusion.But if the earth was old, as geology demanded, there had to be some explanations, some phenomena that could explain why the cooling model was wrong and why the sun could be so old. As demanded and predicted, we now know today that the old earth model held, and fusion, radioactivity and all these phenomena's was found to explain and make the old earth possible.[1]GeologyThe geological column demands an old earth. The different strata and layers all have each their way to be laid, and cannot properly be explained by a single worldwide flood. For example, we find that coral reefs had grown in the middle of the fossil record/geological column, how could it have done so if there was a wild worldwide flood raging to kill all life? But furthermore, stuff like Chalk and evaporites demands more than 6000 years to be laid down in the way we observe it.AstronomyObjects being further away than 10,000-6,000 lightyears away demands and older universeLack of radioactive isotopesCertain radioactive isotopes is lacking, this demands an explanation[2]A consistent methodRadiometric dating has shown to give consistent dates through various of isotopes that all seem to suggest the age of the solar system, including the earth, being around 4.5 billion years ago[3]Other dating methods also suggest an earth older than the YEC model, but lets start with these and see where we go from here[4] :)References:[1]http://www.talkorigins.org...[2]http://www.asa3.org... 11[3]http://www.talkorigins.org...[4]http://www.asa3.org.... 16
