What is the age of the Earth?

another thing scientist say the continents were connected.

are they not connected now?

i believe if you walk from florida to europe by way of the ocean floor you will see they are connected.

could it be there was less water?

so what do you presume it to be?

A hippo? with a tail like a cedar? doubt it
an elephant? sorry itty bitty tail
Ox? same tail issue, so what?

But many scholars say "tail moveth like a cedar" not "like a cedar".

And if tail is a penis......

I'd say hippo is more likely but I don't lose sleep over it.

No they are not connected. The oceanic crust is not the same as continental crust and are separate plates.

the bible seems to hae the answers its taking you guys thousands of years to figure out

Fine, where in the bible can I find out how to rotate a 8 pole electromagnetic field in 0.05Deg accuracy within a 0.5 Oersted field ?

"Dinosaurs did not eat grass like an ox" How in the heck do any of us know that????????????????????

Anatomy. Fossilised bones tell a lot more information than people usually think. Muscle and tendon locations. Bone scarring from these tell a lot about the forces involved in their use.

So tell me how scientist know how old the eath is?

Several ways. Google this. Saves me the typing. This is a message board not a book.

They do not know how many plants there were, how could they?

Doesn't take much effort to estimate this. Think about it?

If there were more plants, which i presume there were considering there was more land and less water then today. their element for determining the earths age(which i believe has to do with the amount of coal) would not be credible or accurate

No one says there was less water. No reason to think the water amount is really any different than today in an approximate sense.

And no one uses the amount of coal to date the Earth.
Again I ask - where do you get your info from?

Phl 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Sorry, that generated an error in the code. It doesn't work for rotating the electromagnetic field.

Which has nothing to do with the fact the Bible itself does not do a thing for you in actually doing science.

With faith it computes.

simplyg123 · Dec 28, 2006

my info is just little pieces ive heard here or there, imnot claiming them to be fact.

but what i do know is there is no way anyone knows what the earth was like back then.

science has evidence, your theorys are just that.

there is no science in the date of the earth, you guessing according to statistics of today.

how can you use a numebr from todays earth,(ex. warming rate, decomposition rate...ect) and simply multiply them or divide them by whatever, when you dont know for fact that the earth was in the same condition as it was when you rates were figured

That is a lie.
It will not run in any compiled language.

I thought you weren't supposed to lie ?

Know it does not - and you know this for a fact. Many of my colleagues are atheists (or agnostics) but they do first rate work in the same manner I do.

You know full well the Bible text does not provide a "How to do Physics" guide. In fact it is totally of no value in this regard. Again - you have to admit this is true.

you recieve everything, therefore it belongs to God, even your scientific knowledge.

You were given this knowledge

cool, havent tried that, i play around with vb.6

But not from the Bible I wasn't.

Again - you know this is true.

It's Nicer, you've finely get low level access to DLLs Hardware ports ect

Working with both the VB.NET & C# Version of .NET

Yes we do to an accuracy that is more than sufficient.

science has evidence, your theorys are just that.

Exactly - and theory is the pinnacle of science. You don't understand what theory means in a science sense - a common mistake.

there is no science in the date of the earth, you guessing according to statistics of today.

Complete utter rubbish.

how can you use a numebr from todays earth,(ex. warming rate, decomposition rate...ect) and simply multiply them or divide them by whatever, when you dont know for fact that the earth was in the same condition as it was when you rates were figured

Because mathematics and physical theory works. Otherwise your computer wouldn't work either or your car or your iPod or whatever.

Your hypothesis implies science wouldn't work.

By the way - are you campaigning for 90% of criminals to be released from jail? Because after all - most of them are found guilty from forensic evidence of the past.
