what age is the earth, indeed what age is the universe , if there was a big bang and many scientists are saying indeed this happened but also the velocity of the speed of light was millions of times faster than now as its slowing down , so in fact the universe could be only thousands of years old , and when you look into things like the grand canyon and the like , we are now discovering this happens very quickly some times in a day or two with flowing back and forward of elements which make these rock formations , oh and i still cant stop laughting at a whale used to live on land then crawed back into the sea , and by the way for all you evolution people scientists are now saying 20 odd billion years at least it would take for this silly theory to even make sense , so it seems the 6 or 7 thousand year old guys are nearer the mark with the age of the universe , before you dismiss something its always better to keep a open mind..........lfc

 

The universe is not infact slowing down as you state but is speeding up ! Galaxys are drifting further and further apart and in some cases set on collision courses . The grand canyon could not of been created in as you say a day or two as this is simply impossible ! Look at a pebble on the beech , that pebble may have started out 10 years ago as a rock as big as a football ,its took years for the water to wash and erode layer after layer of stone to make a small round pebble ! The scale needed for this to apply to the gran canyon you would need all the water on earth times 3 running through the grand canyon at a speed close to the speed of sound for over a week .

Just thought I would point out that the speed of light has never ever changed. You are getting confused with the acceleration of the expanding universe slowing down (when compared to the initial conditions that were present at the big bang). Unfortunately, this pokes a massive hole in your several thousand year old universe/earth theory. As you also quote the formation of the Grand Canyon as being possible in only a few days, I say ~4 billion years of geological proof stands in your way.

As an evolutionary microbiologist I find myself cringing at some of the misconceptions of science being posted on here. That is not to say I am not open for a debate about any of the subjects posted on here (some of which are amazing by the way). I just keep an objective mind and examine all the evidence before me, then make an informed decision on this basis.

Redscience , what about mount st helens , all the rock formations which were layed down - layer upon layer formed in a day or two , but was dated like half a million years lol...........lfc

To all the people saying the earth is billions of years old and we came from monkeys , my advice is this , instead of debating a average person like myself , do this- take one week out of your life and study creationism , you might see things different or indeed it might make you think your even more right , but this thing is worth looking into , be fair minded and see what you think..........lfc

A human life is less than nothing in the scale of the universe. Why do people think they can/do/will ever understand it?

I'm not saying don't ask the question. I'm just saying don't be stunned when you learn that you're not gonna get the answer.
