The evidence says the earth is old.
Welcome to the fray RyanVanGo.
I have simplified the 2 sides down to this:
Evolution: Here's our proof, here's what we know so far, there's a few holes, but we're working on it.
Creation: There's too many holes in evolution, it must be creation.
so the creationism theory says "Evolution isn't all correct, so it must be this" without giving me as much proof as evolution has. please someone show me the proof. ...
... Instead i need to see proof that the earth WAS formed 10000 years ago, and not only that, but that God is the one who formed it, with his hands, in 6 days. WITHOUT saying that our theories are wrong, but proposing new ones. ...
Sad to say, I don't think you will find evidence for this, and the reasons are many: all the evidence that points to the earth being billions of years old.
See the posts in the Age Correlations and An Old Earth, Version 2 No 1 thread detailing not just the evidence for an earth significantly older than 10,000 years, but the correlations between the methods that validate each other, because there is no reason for these correlations ... without age.
I've posted this same reply there, so that you can follow up on that thread if you want. Note that the thread is about how various different counting methods show that the earth is significantly older than 10,000 years, and that the correlations between all these methods is explained by an old earth.
Let me put it this way (while watching a documentary by Kent Hovind).
Kent Hovind is not a reliabe source of information. For instance his argument about how the Grand Canyon was formed is contradicted by his argument about how the Grand Canyon was formed. I can provide details if you want them, but perhaps that should be on another thread.
Enjoy.
