ICE Cores to prove the age of the earth?

let’s do the math.

Assume 80 Million years (as claimed in the dino article) a mere instant of supposedly earths’ history

If you have a 2 THOUSANDTH’s of an inch thick for each layer, in 80 Million years, that’s

13,333 FEET of Ice Core or over 2 MILES DEEP.

At best ice core can be used to prove tens or at most hundreds of thousands of years, NOT MILLIONS.

Oldest Antarctic Ice Core Reveals Climate HistoryJun 11, 2004 ... Secrets of the Earth’s past climate locked in a three-kilometre long Antarctic ice core are revealed this week in the journal Nature.

So, let's do the math 3 Kilometers = 1.8 miles

Plenty of ice, plenty of layers, plenty of time, and we got the core.

The cores for Greenland aren't as comprehensive because sometimes it melts down a lot at the bottom.
