How old is the Earth?

[TheDarkestOfAngels]

Well actually that was not the only case, it's observed quite often. He did not refute that claim either because the article he cited pre-dated the research I cited. Kind of hard to refute research that has happened yet.

Uh... no.
This can't happen 'quite often.' This can't happen "sometimes" or "maybe" or "there are cases of"
- You're missing the point -

For this crackpot theory to be valid, it would have to be off, by a factor of hundreds of millions, for every sample ever collected both on and off the earth by exactly the same degree.
As you should be keenly aware, nothing in nature is capable of that kind of outright deception. Nevermind the fact that radiometric dating can't be falsified by current dating methods for all the reasons you have yet to actually refute.
None of your so-called 'evidence' has any possibility of this happening.

Well I said "up to" a magnitude of 8, so your 45 year thing doesn't mean much.

That's nice.

You still haven't addressed the issue that if all these rates are constant then how come the same sample gives different ages when different radiometric dating methods are used on it?

Because dating methods go by the kind of sample - there is a method for uranium dating, one for carbon-14, and one for all the other kinds of radioactive isotopes that can be found naturally.
It's the same kind of thing as to how you're not going to ace a science class by submitting the answers for your theology class and scientists are keenly aware of this sort of thing.

I would expect them all to be the same if the rates have been constant. So do you believe all natural rates have been constant?

Yes.

Are you a true uniformitarian? I can guarantee you are going to start using the same arguments as I do when I show that using a lot of other rates we can extrapolate young ages for the Earth. "Oh those rates have changed but my rates have not". What happens when Carbon 14 dates and radiometric dates conflict? Which one do you choose then?

You do know that dating carbon 14 is radiometric dating, right?
Well, at least one of the radioactive isotopic elements used for that purpose.

Actually the Bible never says the Earth is flat, that's often claimed by people who don't know how to conduct proper exegesis.

Indeed, I must have forgotten where the spherical earth ends or how many corners a spherical earth has.
