the closer we can see it or touch it, the greater the accuracy of analysis.
that is, the greater we can interact with it.
You'll know that the earth (if it's a rock from the earth) is at least as Old as the rock.now,
if we measure a rock, can we make a valid assumption of the earths age?
now,
if we measure a rock, can we make a valid assumption of the earths age?
Not nessesairly what if in theory, There was another world, not that i believe this, just a theory, and this rock came from that world???
what ya think?
Is it possible?
Am i correct in calling this a theory?
In short:That's a conjecture - which with some fleshing out would be a hypothesis.
And then you try to check that hypothesis and if you can assign a likelihood to it. Then see if it holds up in the other consequences of it.
i.e.
try to make a predcition of your hypothesis that can be tested by experiment or observation. Remember observation is a valid experimental technique.
Gen 2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,No - what we can do is to constrain it by a lower limit. From astrophysical evidence we can constrain the other way by an upper limit.
The Earth as a whole does not have a birth certificate.

In short:
let's use a rock, and agree on the chances (percent) it has always been here.

the error would be so minute it would'nt really have much bearing antway.
simplyg123 was following a line of questioning I anticipated him to complete, or take further anyway.
I just wanted to see where it would go.
Sounds like Old earth/young earth are equally difficult prove.
It is a fact that today I am 56 years old or so.Obviously I disagree.
I would say the old Earth is borne out by the evidence to the everyday sense of a fact.
The young Earth position is falsified by the data.
If we wound the clock back to the first human being and asked him how old he is (at that time), he would tell us X number years. But we have an edge on him. He was never a fetus.
unless it would have a direct bearing on the age of the earth.Well we disagree on that but the argument of Adam = man or Adam = archetype is off topic I guess.
unless it would have a direct bearing on the age of the earth.
