Old Earth Debate: Need Arguments and Resources

[Tom McCurdy]

Actually there are two worlds, one of 4,6 billion years old and another one of 6000 years. The first world is sure of this because they have a dozen independent techniques to calculate that age. The 6000 years old world is sure of it too, because somebody who can know it, says so.

Somehow those two worlds got merged, I don't know, a peculiar worm hole or so. Now we are ended up with intermingled people of two worlds whose main objective seems to be to convince the others of their truth.

This is tragical, since none of those parties will ever succeed because there are two worlds.

perfectly stated.

well, there is another aspect to this. somewhere in the bible there is a story about Jesus turning water into wine, not just wine but good wine. This implies that it is old, so the argument would be something to the general effect of "well, obviously if God can create good/old wine why couldent he create an earth/universe that appears old?" scientifically there is a flaw in this argument. if you subscribe to that you must also believe that man, at one point, walked with dinosaurs. Some creationists would explain that God simply created the world with fossils already in it. The problem is that death didnt come until the fall of man, that is there was no death up until that point. Thus there was no such thing as death, fossils, natural resources, etc...

...just something to think about...
