Open Challenge: Evidence of a Young Earth

I don't know about the oil pressure but both your other arguments rely on ignoring well known facts (in the first case the archaeological record showing that humans existed for a long time prior to the great civilisations - in the second case the fact that populations only grow exponentially given unlimited resources - as well as historical population data).To use those arguments ass then assert that a well-established method - carbon dating - is a joke - well, you really ought to learn some facts befre join a thread like this which asks for the BEST arguments for a young Earth.

I'm not here to convince by pretending to have knowledge that I do not. And that doesn't change the fact that both your other arguments are obviously wrong to anyone with any knowledge of the subject - therefore it is entirely appropriate for me to point out that you should learn what you are talking about. Your claims about carbon dating, are equally uninformed. I suggest you go away and study the real facts instead of making assertions in ignorance of reality.I also notice that you have apparently started two threads with what appears to be material cut and pasted from another source without attribution - which would be less than entirely honest unless you were the original author - and is against the forum rules.

No, this is not a good argument.Although other conditions can inhibit decay (such as the anoxic conditions found at the bottom of some lakes), and some fossils aremore resistant to decay than others, the biggest problem is that it assumes that there is a single rate for deposition.In fact some beds can be deposited very rapidly, but others are deposited very slowly - and geologists can tell which. Moreover we need to distinguish between the AVERAGE rate and the PEAK rate. If, a rare event drops a relatively large amount of sediment that represents a high PEAK rate of deposition - but the average rate would still be much lower. The average rate is needed to work out the age - but the average rate does not need to be high enough to produce fossils - so long as that rate is sometimes reached.
