Quote:There are dozens and dozens of methods to infer a date for the Earth. The results range from 4.5 billion years to only 6,000 years and many dates in between. I believe the methods that yield dates in the billions can be explained away by the fact that they assume a global flood did not occur, and they also do not have any control.
I believe your biblical flood can be explained away thus:
The water covered the tops of the highest mountains by 15 cubits (22feet). That's 22 feet taller than Everest baby.
The flood waters receded. To where exactly? Think about it

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
