Quote "Ok sorry I missed this one that was addressed to me it's hard to see when many conversations are going on at once. Anyways you say every Bit of evidence in every field is evidence of an old earth. Since this is an absolute statement it's easy to prove wrong. The theory of gravity does not support an old earth therefore the statement you made is false. I know you will say this is not what you meant but that should teach you to be careful with absolutes. As for what you ask me for (evidence for a young earth), I can give an example. I'm sure you know all about carbon dating and all that and how carbon 14 is made in the atmosphere. It is estimated by most scientists that it would take about 50,000 years to reach equilibrium to the point where the amount of carbon 14 produced and the amount decaying are equal and the amount of existing carbon 14 remains constant. The problem however is that we have not reached equalibrium yet. The amound of carbon 14 is increasing. This fact not only proves a young earth, but it it could explain how measurements of objects thousands of years old could be inaccurate. I have presented my evidence and I also expect you to do the same rather than saying "it's everywhere."
Assuming what you say about carbon-14 is correct (which believe me it isn't), how can you cite one example as proof of your claims while ignoring the dozens of other examples which show you to be the ignorant fool you really are?
It has been long established that the Earth is billions of years old and the universe even older, the fact you actually believe in a literal interpretation of the bible and the young earth theory just shows what an ignorant, uneducated and closed minded individual you are. I have the utmost pity for you.

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan
