By "make ourselves into the air" I presume you mean space travel? Heliocentrism was well established long before space travel, but established the way science establishes itself, by coming up with evidence to support the theory, not by deriving some sort of philosophical 'proof'. But you know that.It is different.
Did it take science a few hundreds of years to actually prove the simple idea of heliocentrism (Until we can make ourselves into the air? )?
We have much better evidence for the age of the earth and the universe, established by multiple independent sources, than the evidence science had for heliocentrism before space flight. It is not that long ago space flight was not just impossible but inconceivable. The church accepted heliocentrism long before Jules Verne wrote his wildly fantastical from the Earth to the Moon in 1865.
Why do you think the church was right to accept heliocentrism and reinterpret scripture, simply when the majority of scientist accepted it, but do not apply the same sound principle with the age of the earth?
If you want you can say that from God's perspective outside our time, six days passed during the creation of the world. That fits your quest for answers outside our universe. It also fits the biblical teaching that a day in God sight can be vastly greater than our time.I don't think science could ever understand the nature of time (when you get into it, I think one has to deal with problems like multiple universes etc.). So I don't think the radiometric dating MODEL would be proven true anytime in the future.
But if you are looking for 70 million years strata to become anything other than 70 million times longer than what we know as a year, you won't find it in multiple universes or quantum time. Any quantum analysis of time will simply be the same for 70 million years as it is for 1 year, only 70 million times longer.
Creationists have had over two centuries to come up with evidence of the flood and a young earth. If their views bore any relationship to the real world they should have come up with something by now.And I do think the time is on my side. The more we know science, the more literally true Gen 1 and Noah's Flood will become. I have demonstrated several such examples in my Science in Bible series.
