Why did you post a link that is from the NASA saying I should look at NASA images. Again be specific in what you are asking. What is the problem you are describing, and most important, why are you deviating from your own threads topic.
If you would have paid attention to what you were posting about, you may have understood it. It's all in the topic!

And how does science determine the age of the earth and universe?
More obfuscation. I see you still can't address the topic of your own thread. Astrophysics is not my expertise, Earth Science is. Now, what was the topic of YOUR thread?

You might gather that I do not especially care for the big bang theory. You have a blessed day as well.

Great. Since we are on the topic of the earth, how long does it take for topsoil to form?

Ken, I suggest you might consider more information than just Pangaea to focus on. There were super-continents prior and post Pangaea as well. Here is a list of the known ones and their timelines.

Gondwana (~510–~180 million years ago)
Laurasia (~510–~200 million years ago)
Pangaea (~300–~210 million years ago)
Pannotia, also called Vendian (~600–~545 million years ago)
Rodinia (~1.1 Ga–~750 million years ago)
Columbia, also called Nuna (~1.8–1.5 Ga ago)
Kenorland (~2.7 Ga ago)
Ur (~3 Ga ago)
Vaalbara (~3.6 Ga ago)

I have already quoted some other evidence that the ancients believed in Pangea.
I would suggest perhaps a large unknown landmass but not the geologically known super-continent of Pangaea.

Many different rates dependent upon the climate.
Oh, I thought someone with 30 years of experience would be able to answer a simple question, and give the answer of 500-1000 years to build up one inch of topsoil. But, then that would present maximus quaestio in the theory that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, now wouldn't it?

Radiometric dating.
Radoimetric dating problems: http://www.cs.unc.edu/~plaisted/ce/dating2.html
Clocks in the Rocks - HyperPhysics hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nuclear/clkroc.html Georgia State University Lead isochrons are also an important radioactive dating process. .... However, there are two obvious problems with radioactive dating for geological purposes: 1) This site can't be reached do to it conflicts with evolutionary science.
Now, try again. Have you or anyone else seen a fossil with a date on it?

No, no more than the simple-minded calculation about continental drift that you started with.

I was speaking to RickG. If it were so simple minded why hasn't someone came up with it before? Are you jealous that you did not come up with the calculations?

Do you enjoy criticizing sciences you have absolutely no understanding of, much less background with? So you looked up some estimate of topsoil formation, more than likely ignoring other text that explains exactly what I said. It depends upon climate, topography and mode of formation, occurring at different rates. I still have my textbook from my earth science studies back in the '70's from a pedology course I took (Soils, Their Nature, Classes, Distribution, Uses, and Care; Gibson & Batten, 1970). There is no one specific rate. The one you acquired is nothing more than a general average.

The general average is 500-1000 years to build one inch of topsoil. Do you know what average means? Now, do you know what is the depth of topsoil?

Commander, huh? Fancy yourself a naval person, do you? Then you ought to be able to answer this easy question: how long is a rope?

1. This is an open forum where all participants can comment and respond to any post whether directed to them or not.

2. Commander, how would you perceive someone who walked into your place of employment (profession) and begin telling you things that you know form your education and experience that are just made up and completely wrong, and suggests that "you" didn't have any idea what you are talking about; also knowing that this person has absolutely no understanding of what they are talking about, much less training and/or experience.

Get the idea?

Were all of these volumes in the library inspired by God? I will say that it is His word in the bible that He inspired for men to write for a period of over 1500 years in three different languages, stating what He had done, and how He done it?

Like I said, he revealed what he thought was necessary, and left the rest (most of our current body of knowledge) to us
