101 reason that support the young Earth that scientists what to suppress!
*No scientific method can prove the age of the earth and the universe, and that includes the ones we have listed here. Although age indicators are called “clocks” they aren’t, because all ages result from calculations that necessarily involve making assumptions about the past.
I was getting *all in to* that article until I started to notice all the reference links in the piece were linking me back to their own research.......
I would venture that, from the standpoint of most readers, the age of the earth, whether 4.5 billion years or a lot younger say ~5000 years is completely unimportant. We could have gotten a lot more done in the unquestioned 3000 years that homo sapiens has been capable of more than hunting and gathering. I reserve especially intense fury for those who have used extensive education in the physical sciences as tools to create quasi-Creationist theories about our earth. It wastes time. Time we don't have.
Figures people want to surpress the truth like this. First the schools and now public debate.
So... wait now; first you make a post and then, before anyone else answers, you answer and agree with yourself?
Hmmm.. a truly novel approach to intellectually honest debating! Please! Do give yourself a gold star!

(snipped for brev; after all, it's right here!)
This is a common talking point in the religion forum for obvious reasons. It is not a debate but a continuance of ignorance.
More correctly, if I may, Konraden: it's a Celebration of Ignorance.
I picture a bunch of ignorant peasants all heartily clapping each other on the back, yammering Moderator cut: deleted about gods and miracles, and assuring each other that everyone else also buys into their load of sheep spit.
Compelling to be sure.

Now, it's no fair C&Ping from the net; show us your level of personal education and understanding in one of the cornerstones of modern geo-technology and unambiguous evidence.
Did you even look at the website Alinsky? It's run by Creation Ministries International. The information is nothing but bias, ignorance and lies. If you want credible information then talk to an actual biologist, especially one whom isn't a associated with a religious organization promoting creationist propaganda. Email a scientist like Richard Dawkins or Ken Miller. You can also go to your local university/community college and talk to one of the biology, anthropology or paleontology professors.
I'll laugh when, in two hundred years or so, they perfect time travel or something (surely future medicine can make us live that long!) and go back, oh, about 7000 years.
