33. Sea ooze - As fish and ocean plants die, they fall to the bottom and form an ooze, or very soft mud on the ocean floor at a rate of one inch every 1,000-5,000 years. Measuring the depth of this ooze indicates a young earth.
34. Ocean Concentrations of elements from rivers and springs - If we assume, as evolutionists must, that the oceans were 100% freshwater (0% mineral content) at the beginning of earth’s history, and knowing today’s amount of each element in the oceans, we may calculate how long each element took to reach today’s concentration level. Of the 51 main elements in sea water, 20 could have accumulated to today’s level in 1,000 years; 9 other elements in 10,000 years, and 8 others in 100,000 years.
For example, Lead (2,000 years); Silicon (8,000 years); Vanadium(10,000 years); Cobalt and Nickel (18,000 years); Caesium (40,000 years); Bismuth (45,000 years); Mercury (42,000 years); Copper (50,000 years); Tin (100,000 years); Sodium (260 million years). Sodium gives the longest accumulation time, so by this method, earth could be no older than 260 million years.
35. Ocean sediment - There is not enough sediment on the sea floors for earth to be 5 billion years old. Rivers add about 28 billion tons of sediment to the oceans each year. If this had occurred for 1 billion years, the continents would have eroded away many times. There would be a layer of sediment on the ocean floor atleast 60 miles thick. However, the average depth of sediment on the ocean floor is about 800 metres, and the continents have not eroded once yet. The Tasman Sea off Australia is not part of a
subduction zone of ocean floor being pushed deep into the earth. Subduction zones could not dispose of 10% of incoming sediment. Hence, sea floors seem young.
36. Juvenile water coming out of volcanoes - has never been in the oceans before. About 1 cubic mile of water is added yearly. 340,000,000 cubic miles of water are on earth's
surface.
Question: How many years would it take to accumulate 340 million cubic miles of water?
Answer: 340 million years. This implies that there were no oceans 340 million years ago, the supposed age of fishes.
So how could life have evolved in the oceans 2,000 million years ago if there were no oceans then?
37. Delta Filling - The Mississippi river dumpsabout 300 million cubic metres of sediment into the Gulf of Mexico each year. If this river were millions of years old, the Gulf would have been filled long ago. Since the delta grows about 250 feet per year, it’s age calculates to about 4000 years, very close to the Flood 4,400 years ago.
XI. EVIDENCE FROM LIVING THINGS
38. Tree Rings - The oldest living things are Bristlecone pines growing in Eastern Nevada, aged about 4,600 years old (sometimes producing 2 growth rings per year, so their
age would be less), and Sequoia Gigantea in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, which are never older than about 4,000 years. These giant redwoods have no known enemies, and never have any dead trees among them. Unless man cuts them down, they never
seem to die. 17 Bristlecone pines are dated about 4,000 years old. Since the Flood occurred about 2,418 BC, this implies that:
a) all the pre-Flood Sequoias and Bristlecones were wiped out by the Flood, and
b) there is no record of any living tree older than the Flood.
Question: If evolution were true, why do we find none of these trees dated 15,000 years or older?
Answer: Because evolution is false. These old trees were planted just after the Flood in 2418 BC.
39. Dinosaur DNA - is so rare that the first sample was discovered in 1995. DNA decomposes soon after the specimen dies. There is no known way for DNA to survive for 70 million years.
creation scientists will throw any facts out there....google "how old are trees" and you will see there is a tree in sweden 9550 years old, there are 10,000 year old trees on mount read in Tasmania....throws the 6,000 year old biblical earth out the window
Once again, i have no fucking clue what the hell you are talking about, and i strongly suspect that you do not either, but feel an inate need to vent your "impotent, static rage" towards an intellectual superior. Seek some help or some diazapam.
