Tree and ice rings, eventhough observable, do not neccessarily indicate annual growth. Thus it can not be argued as FACT to decipher the age of anything.

Just because you can show exceptions to tree and ice ring dating, doesn't mean you should throw the baby out with the bathwater.

So, since you don't buy a simplistic, literal view of scripture I guess life is a metaphor for you?

I generally don't buy scripture, period. I certainly don't believe, for example, that Jesus rose from the dead.

Tell me, how long is a day in your time?

Depends on where I'm standing and/or how fast I'm moving. On Mars, the day is longer. If I'm travelling at close to the speed of light, one of my days is a lot longer than one of your days.

And it also doesn't mean that you can determin ironclad facts! Thanks for making my point!

I tell ya what...I have a challenge for you. If you're so inclined go read Genesis 5 and tell me generally what that chapter is about.
