But it is the Subject of This Thread.

Why are some rocks 4.5 billion years old, while others are dated younger?

You should be able to answer that now within the confines of embedded age creation.

God did it.

Why He did it is not the subject of this thread -- is it?

Doesn't matter to "embedded age" as I understand it. Basically, you have a complex system. This system is dependent on it's past conditions for its current conditions. Take a snapshot of a pinball machine in motion. Each ball has mass, momentum, and velocity. For the pinball machine system to function -for the balls to go zooming around and stuff- when created ex nihilo, those past processes of mass, velocity, etc, must be created in place. So, finding evidence that such processes existed (such as differently aged rocks) in the past does not contraindicate embedded age creation. This is all by definition.

But then, nothing else contraindicates it either, making the whole idea a bunch of non-empircal, unscientific, and above all useless nonsense. Much like the ontological argument, it's an explanation that doesn't actually explain anything. It's 100% un-refutable. Also 100% unprovable... but who cares? It's quite handy if you want to believe in superstition while still maintaining a positive view of your own intellectual capacity, and that's all it's really needed for.

I don't see why people have such a hard time with this. Satan is powerful and he did this, not God. When Satans reign over the Earth comes to an end through Gods hand all will become clear!

Short answer, Gods had nothing whatsoever to do with the making of the Earth, different age rocks came either from volcanoes erupting at different times, silt and seashells building up on sea beds, mountain formation, different pressures and temps,
how about diamonds and meteorites? in other words millions upon millions of years

Sad thing is, if you didn't have that disclaimer and we didn't already know you are totally sane, that sort of thing would be quite within the norms for this forum.

It's trouble for embedded age when embedded age is defined as age without history.

The point is, the rock layers being laid down consistently in order of age is history.

Scientists claim the rock is such an age because they have no believe in the Flood, if you would take the Flood in account there is no way the rock is billions of years, or millions of years for that matter. And yes there is ample proof for the Flood, which would also explain the way fossils appear in the rock layers. So no God did not make different aged rocks, science just thinks there are very old rocks, whilest there aren't. There are more mistakes in their reasoning, but I can't be bothered.

How does "the Flood" account for twenty-two extinct species of elephants found in successive geological layers over six million years?

Uh, no. Failed right at the start.

There are plenty of mistakes in yours - I doubt we'll bother with whatever else you say :wave:

But it is the Subject of This Thread.
As far as I know, why God did it is not documented.

We know that God does things decently and in order...

1Co 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

... line upon line, precept upon precept ...

Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

I personally don't believe Adam and Eve were the same age; I think they were years apart, but came into existence on the same day.

You should document it.

That's easy! Each species could run slightly faster that the previous one, so they all failed to out run the flood at slightly different points. You know, the way the oak trees out-ran the pine trees.

The same trees that were found straight through 10different layers spanning so called millions of years. Hilarious. Or perhaps you could explain the human fossils found in layers of 10million years old, I don't know perhaps you could elaborate.

Polystrate fossil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - it's very simple if you are prepared to look at the issue.

What human fossils are you talking about?

If rocks took millions of years to form, and God created everything at once, doesn't that mean it is only a old as everything else. God made rocks along with trees, vegies, fruits,etc. They're basing these things on how long they take to form, not if they were all created at once, in an already "adult" state. Same with the first trees, they appeared to be decades old, but in fact were only seconds old after got created them.

Here is another contaminated child, I hope all of you creationists are pleased with yourselves for having done this to a child.
