“There actually is much evidence for a <4.6B year old Earth.”
There is a far chasm between 4.6 Billion and 6,000. The 6000 year old claim is flat earth... it doesn’t hold up the most basic evidence and isn’t based on any. Human Writing is more than 6,000 years old, let alone the entire planet.
The 6000 year claim is about as meaningful as that map another person made showing a body over the city where Jesus was believed buried and declaring he was buried where the heart of the body would be.
Its not based on any evidence, there is huge difference between creationism/ID and the young earth arguments, and its beyond sad that the person wishing to present the ID argument tied his millstone to a man made fallacy like young earth... because that meant the real claim for the debate that being ID was never really touched on because debunking young earth is such a low hanging fruit to prove that the true discussion about ID never really happened.
Sure. I just referenced <4.6B years because 4.6B years appears to be a 'religiously' held value - and there is more evidence that refutes the 4.6B year number. There also are a few data points that are consistent with a ~10,000 year old earth.
The 6000 year old claim is flat earth... it doesn’t hold up the most basic evidence and isn’t based on any.
Sure it is. It is based on God's Word. An eyewitness account by someone who was there and someone who is entirely trustworthy. 10,000 years is consistent with the amount of Helium in our atmosphere (given the escape and generation rates), the Magnetic Field on Earth (not having to invoke a perpetual motion machine to maintain the Magnetic Field strength), the existence of comets (snowballs that orbit the Sun And not having to invent a mythical Oort cloud to replenish the comet supply), as well as several other phenomena (that escape me at the moment).
Human Writing is more than 6,000 years old,
What is the basis of this claim? How reliable is the proof?
God's Word is reliable and trustworthy.
The 6000 year claim is about as meaningful as that map another person made showing a body over the city where Jesus was believed buried and declaring he was buried where the heart of the body would be.
Sorry - that analogy escapes me. Jesus is not buried. He is risen and sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. But I get the drift -- you reject that the Earth is on the order of 6000 years old.
