Evolutionists love to cite their dating methods as "proof" that the earth is old. Can you explain these?
Volcanism -- If the current rate of lave production of today's approzimately 450 active volcanoes were constant for 4 1/2 billion years, the amount of lave produced would be equivalent to the size of the earth. If volcanic activity were greater at some time in the past -- which most of us believe it was, the amount would be even greater.
Water formation -- Water is being formed and added to the earth at the rate of about 1 cubic mile per year. If the earth were billions of years old, far too much water would have been formed to have any remaining dry land.
Meteoric dust -- About 14 million tons of dust from outer space fall to the earth each year. In about 4 billion years, enough dust should have fallen to cover the earth to a depth of 54 feet up to 100 miles. It just isn't there.
Soil formation -- Soil can actually be formed at a rate of several inches in less than 100 years.
Human population statistics -- Considering plagues, wars, famines, etc., 8 people at the time of Noah's Flood would have multiplied to about 4 billion people today (roughly the current population of the earth). If man evolved a million years ago, there should be 10e27,000 people on th earth. (And no, we have never even come close to reaching the maximum that the earth could support.)
Decay of the earth's magnetic field -- At the present rate of decay (measured over the last 100 years), if we calculate backwards about 7000 years, the earth's magnetic field would have been 32 times stronger than it currently is. Ten thousand years ago it would have been as magnetic as a magnetic star, which is improbable. Even 1 million years ago its strength would have been impossible.
Scarcity of helium -- Helium is a natural product of many radioactive decay processes. In billions of years, there should be huge quantities of helium in the earth's atmosphere; however, its presence is relatively rare, indicating an earth-age of only several thousand years.
Moon dust -- Anyone remember why Armstrong et al had to jump from the bottom of the ladder on the lunar lander and why it had such long spindley legs? If the moon had been here as long as evolutionists say, the amount of dust should have been several feet thick, not the extremely thin layer it is.
I'm glad I serve the God Who is able.
