Geology challenge *repost*

Since my previous challenge got lost in the crash, I decided to repost it (it had had yet to be met).

The challenge is simple: Find a geologist who disagrees with the current accepted age of the Earth (~4.5 billion years), but does so for reasons independent of any religious convictions.

I took a quick glance at that site, John, but it seems irrelevent to the thread at hand. Unless you can humor me and tell me why you posted it?

Do you deliberately try to derail threads by ignoring the opening post?

In case someone hasn't figured it out from the last two posts.

Find a geologist who disagrees with the current accepted age of the Earth (~4.5 billion years), but does so for reasons independent of any religious convictions.
and the attempt to answer the challenge:
blahblahblah.org, Christian Geology Ministry

Talk about derailing a thread By the way, thanks for reposting this thread, Pete.

My pleasure.

I figure since the last thread had left off with NebraskaMan promising examples "soon", I'd revive it.

It would also help if the linked site actually had geologists who disagreed with the current accepted age of the Earth. Given that the Christian Geology Ministry is a group of old-Earth creationists, that ain't likely.

*bumpity bump*

C'mon... Is there not one single example of a geologist who disagrees with the current accepted age of the Earth for reasons other than religion?

This doesn't look promising for YEC....

Because you do not spend much time on creationist web sites.

"They have defined their syntheses of Flood geology and the GUC by the correlation of time boundaries in the GUC to those in Biblical history (Austin, 1994; Austin and Wise, 1994; Baumgardner, 1990; Snelling, Scheven, Garner, Ernst, Austin, Garton, Scheven, Wise, and Tyler, 1996)." http://www.creationresearch.org/crsq...2/cfjrgulf.htm

Dr. Kurt Wise has his Phd. from Harvard.

Steven A. Austin has a Phd in Geology.

argumentum ad verecundiam (appeal to authority fallacy.)

oh, and the point of this thread is:
