A young Earth.
Perhaps I can list just a few pieces of evidence that may suggest that a young earth is a realistic possibility. 1. There is no record of human civilization that goes back before 6000 years. Civilization suddenly appears around 6000 years ago on the historical record. 2. Oil fields are under too much pressure to be too old. Scientific estimates say that the longest maximum time a rock layer could keep pressure is 100, 000 years. And using this time-table the oil we have right now suggest that it is less than 10 000 years old, not millions. 3. One more for now. The world population is approximately 2% per year. Practical application of the growth rate throughout human history would be about half that; 1%. Research shows that wars, famine, disease, have wiped out about 1/3 of the population about every 83 years. Starting with eight people, while applying the growth rates since Noah flood ( approx 4500 years ago) would give a total human population of about 6 billion people. But to apply the same technique to the evolutionary time scale just comes up with an impossible number. Starting with one couple 41,000 years ago, gives us a total population of 2x10^89. Interesting isnt it? There are other indicators too. Many others. By the way carbon dating is a joke, but like you said that does not necessarily point to a young earth. Good day. The General

Re: A young Earth.
Perhaps you would come off as a tad more convincing if you did not tell me that you have no knowledge of the oil pressure fields, and then have the courage to tell me to learn a thing or two. Carbon dating despite what you said is not a well established dating method. I could give you countless pieces of evidence to show major inaccuracies in their experiments. If you would like me to, let me know. Perhaps you could learn something about carbon dating from the article I wrote on it several months ago. Maybe I will post it here in the near future.
