Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

And you don't know if Genesis was just an abstract story of what REALLY happened. It sure doesn't sound like a detailed or intellectual account as it has few details and no explanations on how things got the way they are today. I ask you, how would God explain modern scientific processes to an anci...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

What evidence do you have to, for example, establish a value of 50,000 years on the ascent of Everest? None. I don't think there is any evidence that can establish the begining of the ascent of everest. As I have proposed before growth rates and the fading of the intitial force that caused India to...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

The presumption was younger and has moved to the current estimates because of the extrapolation of evidence such as red-shifting patterns in celestial light, radioactive isotope degeneration rates to name just two. Just a couple more points. Extrapolation of evidence is of course not evidence at al...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

IT is a fallacy to forego it as a conclusion because of its simple popularity in the volumes of theories, but it is not entirely unreasonable. The old age of the universe is not accepted because it is popular and therefore they find evidence. The old age of the universe is accepted because of the m...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

does it matter if it's 5000, 50,000, 5 million, or 5 billion? Do you know for sure what God meant to say? Science is Man's attempt to find out the truth. Well it matters in that it cannot be all of those ages. As I said it matters little to my conclusion that the earth has always been here from man...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

What makes the age proposed in general by science in this regard as somewhat convincing to me is that is supported from several different disciplines with similar results coming out. That's more than a coincidence in my opinion. Does that make sense to you? Regards, Bart Hi Bart. Just wanted to res...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

I'd be interested in your thoughts and reactions to what is there. http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/yeclaims.html Best Regards, Bart Hi. Well my thoughts are that the article capitulates that the lowest common denominator of scientific thought is most likely to be truth. IT is also plainly w...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Ha! I really did read that. Here is an article that attempts to answer my original question. It is somewhat biased in my opinion it attempts to force the disconnect into a presupposed theory. In any event perhaps it will clarify what issues I have with the given time frame for the formation of the m...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Thanks. The problem is that some measurements are taken with the snow pack, some are taken without the snowpack. Most are taken from ground stations using triangulation, and of course the newest most percise measurements are taken by GPS. This is where the range of information comes from. Yes it is ...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Thanks for the welcome. As I look into this further I see quite a range of growth for everest. Some say it isn't growing at all, others by only millimeters per year. I am still digesting quite a lot of conflicting reports so hang in there. Apparently I was confused or got some bad information. Many ...

Re: Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

Do you think perhaps, there are any other forces at work in addition to the one you are isolating here and attempting to draw conclusions from? Is isolating one force or statistic for a relatively short period of time and then relying upon it to draw a conclusion independent of forces of erosion, t...

Mount Everest and the Age of the earth

From man's perspective the earth has always been here, but it would seem that it must be some specific age. People often say it is billions of years old. This is of course completly outside of man's experience and recorded history. Pretty much anything past 4 or 5 thousand years of recorded history ...
