Theists: Why do you love God?

[chi pan]

But the Earth isn't that age, so why does it matter?

unless you have further evidence to back that up, it's just an assumption to say those dating methods are accurate.

I literally have no idea why you're making this 'point'. If you're just saying 'potassium-argon dating cannot accurately date young rocks', then yes, that may well be true. So what? I never even brought up K-Ar dating, you did.

the point is that if it's inaccurate and scientists know this then that means they are deliberately distorting science. reminds me of the whole global warming ideal.

what about the fossils?

I'll ask you one more time: Why do clam shells appear in mountains?

well ignoring the first 2 links in the google search (b/c they don't give the answer you want... how scientific) you get this

Briefly, it goes like this: As the Indo-Australian Plate, with India firmly embedded, approached the Eurasian continent 20 million years ago, its leading edge, comprised of oceanic crust, was first to be crumpled and uplifted. Slowly, the Himalayas rose and the leading oceanic crust of the Indian sub-continent, carrying the fossilized remains of its ancient ocean inhabitants, was thrust up by the crumpling crust in its wake. Thus, plate tectonics explains how the majestic peaks of one of the world’s great mountain ranges were once the deep sea-floors of an ancient drifting plate.

so basically mountains in the middle of asia were once in the ocean. ok sure.
