Silly Creationist

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

yup... a basic knowledge of the water cycle tells you that there is a set amount of water, so a flood like that would have never happened, otherwise the world would still be covered by water entirely
