Next you will try to tell me that crude oil is the result of decayed and compressed dinosaurs.

Just not buying it.

helium-3 and neon-21 dating...cool. I was wondering how they can measure the age of such old rocks.

I used to think about how lucky we are to live on Earth during a time of relative stability on our planet, in our solar system, and in our galaxy. Now I realize that we are alive now because it is a time of relative stability on our planet, in our solar system, and in our galaxy.

The material in the solar system is older than the solar system.

The material in my car is older than my car.

All elements on Earth, with the exception of helium, are older than the solar system. Hydrogen has been around since the Big Bang. Our sun creates helium out of hydrogen. All other elements were created somewhere else, either in much older stars or the Big Bang.

"I compare this with putting out a bucket in a rainstorm. Assuming the rainfall is constant, the amount of water that accumulates in the bucket tells you how long it was exposed."

It's just mind-blowing to think of everything those tiny specks must have passed through before landing here on Earth.

We also know they didn't have TV News back then from these findings, because if we did and the particles had to listen to 5+ million years of that crap they would have offed themselves prior to landing here.

Isn’t all the material in the Universe the same age? 13.8 billion years? How can anything be younger?

Law of conservation of matter: matter cannot be created or destroyed. So it’s all the same age. ‘Splain me this!
