There is no good reason for me to assume an old earth or old universe. It is all based upon faulty dating methods and presupposition of uniformitarianism. A day in Hebrew is the same word throughout the bible. How do you say this instance means billions of years but this other one (same hebrew word) means 24 hours? That is inconsistent. The ONLY reason why some Christians believe in the old earth is that they are mixing "naturalistic" scientific assumptions with the bible - they don't mix. Hugh Ross and the rest of the old earth Christians are wrong IMHO. If you read the bible without benefit of a naturalistic education, you cannot come up with an old earth. Naturalism and its resulting theories presupposes atheism and atheism is not science.

So how old do you believe the Earth to be?

Do you claim that radioactive dating, tree ring counting, ice cores, etc. are all wrong (and conspire to give the same numbers.)
