ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT - I did a little research:
The deepest hole ever drilled was on the Kola Peninsula in the USSR (1970). They reached a depth of 7.6 miles and found rocks they CLAIMED to be 2.7 billion years old (all from Wikipedia).
Now, if you convert 7.6 miles to inches and divide 481,536 inches by 2,700,000,000 years, you get 0.000178 inches per year.
Do you mean to tell me, Leslie, that they dug for 7.6 miles and counted 2.7 billion individual 0.000178-inch thick layers?

im just typing, im not trying to write a formal research paper. and leslie,, alot of your ideas about glaciers and old lakes get ruled out by a world wide flood. this argument could go on forever. we both have our own facts. we just believe two different things.

the earth, while being created in 7 days, could very well have been created already Aged.. it is not a organism.. what im saying is.. if you go back to the day the earth was created.. and radiometric test the rocks and land. it most likely would not say it was only a few seconds old..
there are no virtual facts to support either theories.. the only 100% way to know, is if someone was alive the day the earth was created and had a eye witnessreport. or a "snapshot" lol.. but there is Alot of evidence that goes against an ancient earth. that only pushes towards "young earth"gil stevens said:

well, what's more interesting is-
If you believe that all of this could have happened entirely by chance, then you also must believe that the Universe is infinite not only spatially and temporally, but that it is filled with an infinite amount of matter.
It follows that somewhere out there (not just a million or a billion times over, but an infinite number of times over) there are worlds exactly like ours - not only exactly like ours, but in which there are, in fact, human beings, walking on an a not 3 second-old earth, saying the exact same thing. And, somewhere else (an infinite number of times) exactly similar scientists walking on an exactly similar earth, exclaiming exactly the opposite.

Believing all that all takes a LOT more faith than believing in a finite amount of matter, and a Creator.

its not an organism? does it not spawn life? there are facts to support an ancient earth.. there are those who choose to refute them. there is no factual evidence other then a really old book to support the 7 day theory.
obviously this comes down to religious belief, and im not one to argue peoples "beliefs", ive been with hindus and i understand their perspective, buddists as well.. shit i even see where the muslims are coming from, may not agree with it, but i see it.. its when those beliefs fly in the face of factual information that you have to stop and question those beliefs.
so then considering your perspective.. who created it? what did they create it out of? is it crazier to assume that it was created "aged" or that it is actually "aged"?

the earth does not spawn life... a rock does not give birth or lay an egg.. its just where everything happends to take place and live!!
and yes this does come down to religious beliefs... but evolution, and an ancient earth. is all believed by faith. they are their own belief... some what like a religion..
