Many scientists firmly believe that our universe and Solar System are billions of years old. However, massive data recorded by 50 years' worth of unmanned probes traversing space shows without a doubt that the planets with their moons and comets are actually very young.
Our sun powers through its nuclear fuel, and as such it slowly changes constitution. Famed solar astronomer John A. Eddy was quoted, and others in his field believe billions of years ago the sun was dimmer and thus the Earth became a frozen ball. But Mr. Eddy has also recognized that all our information about the sun doesn't look pointedly to that vast a passage of time. In fact, when posited the question as to whether scientists could accept just 6,000 years as the likely age of our sun and Earth, he replied they could "live with" it.
Great troubles plague scientists trying to formulate the reasons for the Earth to charge on all the estimated billions with its magnetic field. Strong channels in Earth's core drive this field, but the energy loss--as in an electrical circuit--tend to drain off in the passage of time. Our planet has no exemption to this, and as such should have parted with its magnetism a very, very long time ago. Cal Tech geophysicist David Stevenson remarked: "We do not understand how the Earth's magnetic field has lasted for billions of years. We know that the Earth has had a magnetic field for most of its history. We don't know how the Earth did that...We have less of an understanding now than we thought we had a decade ago."
Historically, measurements show that Earth is at a loss of one-half of its magnetic energy every 1,400 years or so. If this is true, then the force just 30,000 give-or-take would see this planet's crust a melted mess; too much time and it's seething hot pizzaville. Now, let's talk about something that physicists utilize called the "magnetic dipole moment". This is used to calculate the power of the largest parcel of a planet's magnetism. There was much surprise among astrophysicists when spacecraft recorded that Mercury, Neptune and Uranus has MDM larger than they assumed with massive-age in mind. Actually, Mercury's magnetism shouldn't have at all been around. And Jupiter's moon Ganymede would've been long lost.
Physicist Russell Humphreys has calculated and as a result had concrete predictions of the magnetic force in the Solar System. He exactly saw the MDM of Uranus and Neptune long before they came about and the data came in and mapped. The sizeable ratcheting-down of Mercury's MDM from 1975-2011 wowed other scientists even as he actually missed the real slowdown, which was 8% and not 4-6%.
I'll continue this conversation tomorrow in the second installment, which is, "The Solar System: Old or Young? Part II".
I can confirm with certainty that it is older than me.
The rest is hearsay and random theorizing.
My belief that the Earth, the Solar System, and the Universe are all billions of years old in no way diminishes my complete faith and trust in God. I don’t need science to prove or support my faith in any way.
I also don’t seek to change anyone else’s opinion or belief on the issue.

Right on!
Older than Earth Dirt
Young! Heck, I remember when there WAS no universe.
I do remember when I was the center of the universe. Then I had kids.
It's like the museum guard who, when asked how old the dinosaur bones were, replied "6 million and 6 years old" - because when he started there 6 years previous, he was told the age of the bones in the exhibit was 6 million years.
It was here when I got here...................
“He’s so old he was around when the universe was invented.”
That seems logical. How can that not be logical?
But can these theorists snatch the pebble from my hand?
One Zillion BC, October 9th.
It will be even older then.
Oh please
Balderdascious drivel. Unexpurgated claptrap.
Wibbley wobbedledy timey wimey.
In light of the current world news, the question that must be asked is “was Bishop queer?”
