Most YE believe the earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old. 12,000 may be older than most YE'ers believe but it's a far far cry from the millions of years old that evolutionists keep praying for.
Most YECs believe a flood occured abour 4500 years ago that totally restructed the geology (and sediments) of the earth. Meaning under YEC sediment should not go back any further than about four and a half thousands years.
12,000 may be older than most YE'ers believe but it's a far far cry from the millions of years old that evolutionists keep praying for.
But that 12,000 isn't an age of the Earth, it's the age of the oldest sediment. All it means is the Earth is *at least* 12,000 years old. Equally the oldest human is about 120 years old, but this doesn't make the earth 120 years old.
Funny! Now you accuse scientists of praying that their conclusions are right. Very funny.
