[PetroniusMaximus]

***One more example: Coral reefs have annual growth rings, just like trees. Coral reefs commonly have hundreds of thousands of these.***

Assuming the earth never existed in a super-growth, hot house like state such as one might find described in the Bible (pre-deluge)...

Annual growth rings? Like did the Earth go zooming around the Sun really fast in pre-deluge times?

Actually, a hot-house state would not produce more rings, just wider rings.

Each ring is from a growth season, with a generally accepted one season per year.
