What we are not taught.

The main reason for this blog is that if I write it down like this, I am much more apt to remember it: Geologist Steven Austin dated rock samples from some of the highest peaks in the Grand Canyon. (That would make them positionally young. ). Using the rubidium-strontium method he obtained an age of approximately 1.3 billion years. Lead dating had put the rocks at 2.6 billion years. and the potassium-argon method dates those rocks anywhere from 10,000 to 117 million years. The Journal of Geophysical Reported that lava from a 1800-1801 eruption Hualalai volcano in Hawaii had been radiometrically dated. Using various minerals and methods they came up with 10 different dates ranging from 140 million to 2.96 billion years.

The point is-don't believe very thing that you were taught at school.

How about a few more facts OK? Did you know our sun has been shrinking about 5 feet an hour. What that means is that if the earth is millions of years old like some popular scientist like to claim then the sun the sun would of extended beyond earth's parameter making like life on Earth untenable.

Did you know that the Earth's rotation has been steadily slowing down? If the Earth is billions of years old like many think it is then you have other problems -the speed of an early billion year Earth would be faster than any life could bear. Also the Equator would bulge altering the shape of the Earth.

What these examples have in common, (there are very much real) is that the dating of the Earth is pretty much speculation that suits the scientist fancy. James Ussher dated the Earth in 6,000 year range (give or take, I forgot the precise age he gave at his time). Usher used the Bible and extra Biblical writings to arrive at his date. His young Earth idea was pretty accepted until Evolution gained strength. By the way, when Darwin published his "Origin of the Species..." don't assume that it was quickly and readily accepted by the Scientific Community during his time.

By the way, if what I am talking about interest you and you want to read more here is a few books that might interest you: "Tornado in a Junkyard (The Relentless Myth of Darwinism)" by James Perloff. "Darwin on Trial" by Johnson . "Darwin's Black Box" by Behe. I have read all these and I can guarantee that you will be challenged!
