I used to be young earth before I realized that I was wrong. I suppose the speed of light was too big a hurdle for me to get over. Check out: http://www.reasons.org a Christian astronomical website that has an 'old earth' orientation.

But time is not a constant and is affected by gravity. If you start with an event like the big bang, or something similar, with all the mass of the universe in a very small location creating a huge gravitational effect, how does that affect the passage of time?

The bottom half (( pre cambrian )) of the geologic column (( no fossils )) formed from below . . .

and the top half (( cambrian // post cambrian )) formed rather quickly from above (( no intermediary fossils )) - - -

uniformism (( time )) // evolution is ==== gone // over // never happened !


Evolution is a hopeless dichotomy ==== dead end branch of science ==== get over it !
