I'm glad I was out most of the day.

it's brutal in here today

huh? it's interesting. killjoys

Got you all to forget Obamacare, for a minute, didn't it? <br />Mission accomplished.

The point of the post was that I found it interesting and thought perhaps someone else might also.

What is the point of yours?

He's got a point.... <br /><br />Actually, the oldest things on the planet are far older than 4.4 billion years.. things like iron, oxygen, carbon... all had to form in stars long before the Earth congealed... <br />

I invite rational, reasoned debate. Not abuse.

Yea there mspalding, awesome response. Typical of your point of view. Because, you know, since the mainstream claims it's true, it must be true. <br /><br />So glad you're smart enough to see through the mainstream's crap when it comes to economics and politics, but too blind to see the fact that the mainstream may in fact be wrong in their zeal for demonstrating a billions of years old earth. <br /><br />And to Rockymountain's post, you just contradicted your desires in your post. You "don't want this to turn into a religious rant", yet you then invite me to bring forth my evidence? <br /><br />I'll tell you what. I got 1.5 hours of sleep last night (I think... maybe not that much) up with a kid with an ear infection and a sore throat, and the other kids coughing and not feeling good. I'm not up for an argument right now. How about I do us both a favor and agree to not post here, given you agree to also not debate the same topic. But I will provide reading material for you to look into one small part of the scientific study based on creation (portions of which may be right, and they may be wrong, just like other real science), so you'll have both your desires in your post: <br /><a href="http://www.creationscience.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.creationscience.com/</a>

Me too. All we need is another post to devolve into a religious rant. <br /><br />barwick11. Please cite your evidence.

I hope this guy is trolling...

That soon for a crust is amazing. Then signs of life just 7 or 8 millions later, just after the late bombardment. We are such a minuscule blip on the time frame of the Earth.

aaaahahaha... this is hilarious... "have confirmed the Earth's crust formed at least 4.4 billion years ago..." <br /><br />These people are the most presumptuous idiots on the planet. They base their theories on a full set of preconceptions that they PRESUME to be true, and then claim they proved something... <br /><br />Here, look, I can do it too... Since "everybody knows" that the age of these layers of sand on the beach are 7.3 years, and I found this crab egg buried in that layer, then this freshly hatched crab has been in that egg for at least 7 years! <br /><br />Sorry, but crap like this pisses me off. They're not scientists, they're government-funded (usually) zealots out to prove their preconceived notions that the earth is somehow billions upon billions of years old. Any evidence to the contrary is thrown out as invalid, and those bringing forth such evidence are not only ignored, but ridiculed, shamed, name-called, and often banned from any future publications or funding. <br /><br />That's "science"...
