My mother gave birth to me in April of 1980.

How old am I?

AV1611VET said:

You will have grown to be 41 in April.

So the atoms that make up my body have only existed for 41 years? Did they not exist before then?

AV1611VET said:

Negative.
Yes -- since 4004 BC.

Then I am 6045 years old, correct?

AV1611VET said:

Your atoms are.

But she isn’t, and the canoe isn’t a thousand years old.

AV1611VET said:

That is correct.

As I said, she will be 41 years old in April.

The canoe, in my opinion, is brand new.

It has zero miles on it, never been in the water, and thus has maturity without a history.

The canoe has no maturity. It is only a day old.

Most of your body is <7 years old. Are you that immature?

AV1611VET said:

Maturity is defined as the ability to do what it is designed to do.

Sorry, but brand new is brand new. The age of the wood it is made of is 100% irrelevant. In any case, the wood in the outer rings of the tree will be younger than the wood on the inner rings of the tree.

Have you seen my canoe challenge thread?

Yes. And your answer here is in conflict with your claims in that thread. You said I am 41 years old this year, when to be consistent with what you say in the other thread you should say I am 6045.

AV1611VET said:

What other thread?

This one?No conflict.

And by the same logic, you should say that, physically, I am 6045 years old. And yet you didn't.
