its not about beeing liberal or not, u are arguin against FACTs. we know that the earth is older than 6000 years, we know that because humans lived 6000 years ago. i have seen older man made things. and i have seen older trees... 


Nope. I have seen trees. And you belive the method of dating them is accurate. But it isn´t, cause decay is not uniform, cause the Earth magnetism changes in a erratic (to us) way. Most of billions and billions of years nonsense is just a desesperated way to explain stuff without God.

A simple way to know this: the Moon is getting away from Earth, a little bit every year. If the Earth was old, then the Moon would be closer in the past. How close? 

It would have touched the Earth surface like 500k ago...

Also, at a population growt rate of 2% a year we should have like trillions of humans in the Earth by now if science were correct.

Also, the ony reason you guys are so stiff in the way you face this is because you can not even think about how there could be a God. This horrify you.

Has there been any experimental evidence to suggest that the earth's magnetic field (or any magnetic field for that matter) has an effect on the rate of nuclear decay?  Found a theoretical paper on it but I feel like if you have a conclusion already thought out then you can almost always make it work in your hear, I'd like to see this thing in practice.  

I'm also confused by the concept that you don't think nuclear decay is necessarily consistent but you assume things like the moon moving away from the Earth and population growth rates have to be.  I assume conventional scientific studies have been done on both of these phenomena, have you looked into them?

Please don't put your hypothesized emotional responses on me or other atheists.  Just because we don't think there's a god doesn't mean that the idea of one is terrifying, it just means I don't see a reason to think he exists.
