Hey again there, Jeanie



And I would never even remotely try to imply that you are. My question about tree rings and carbon dating was an open question to any and all interested in partaking of this discussion (since these things stand as profound evidence for an old Earth. It was in no way an accusation, least of all one directed at any individual. If I may ask, does this mean you believe the Earth is 6,000 years old? I've never met anyone with this viewpoint and I'm trying to determine what information has led them there.



I wasn't aware there were any counter arguments or even factions of people who stood in opposition to it. But as I've said, creationism is new territory for me so please excuse my ignorance in this avenue of the discussion. We're all a newbie at something

However, you mention having read counter arguments about carbon dating. Have you read arguments in favor of it and compared the difference? That's not an accusation either, just an inquiry



Yikes, Jeanie. What have I done or said? As I indicateded in as cordial a tone as possible when I first arrived, I'm not here to question anyone's religious beliefs. I make that stance first and foremost and stick to it. I would never say something like: your religion is wrong. From my vantage point, I don't see any religion as superior to any other. But I'm not discussing how people believe the universe came into existence or what happens to our spirit/soul/mind upon exiting this world. I'm discussing tangible facts, such as the age of our planet. If it's a sensitive subject, I'll certainly let it go. But I can't help but wonder... why? I know the anonymity and sterility of the internet makes it difficult to express tone and demeanor, but I am saying all of this in the kindest voice possible. I hope you know that.
