Brilliant stuff!
Would you agree - by proving that dating methods used by evolutionists are wrong doesn't prove that the earth is young?

I accept totally the massive flaws in C14 - but how does that prove a young earth?

Genesis opens with the statement ‘In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.’ Many Bible scholars agree this verse describes an action separate from the creative days. Thus the Bible does not state the age of the earth. As for the length of each ‘creative day’ the Hebrew word translated ‘day’ can mean various lengths of time. At Genesis 2:4 Moses refers to all six creative days as one day. Also, on the first creative day God called light Day and the darkness night – only a portion of the period was called Day. There is no indication that the ‘creative days’ were 24 hours long.

To piggy back on the lava dating, I believe either of two things may have happened to explain it. Either God created the world in the beginning, before the literal six days of creation, thus allowing for long ages of radiometric decay within the lava before life (although I don't know if we see layers containing lava before life began and there certainly would have been lava flows over the course of millions of years after earth was formed), or thed re is a natural occurrence, either catastrophic such as the hydroplate theory explained here: http://www.creations...ioactivity.html, or over the course of 6000 years that accelerated radiometric decay rates.

I've read the links you suggested. Just a couple of questions:
1) Why is it assumed here that if you don't accept a young earth you must accept humans have been around for millions of years? Obviously anyone who believes in creation must reject c14 dating, etc. But that doesn't prove the earth is young.
2) Why is it 'clear' that the Bible says the creative days are 24 hrs but the Bible clearly says the 7th day is thousands of years long?
I have to be honest mate, I've read nothing that changes my view:
The earth's age is unknown. The wording of Genesis (in the original Hebrew) allows for this. A liitle research shows that many Hebrew scholars view the first verse as a statement to mankind that it was God who created everything.
The age of the universe is unknown.
Mankind was created 6,000 years ago.

I'm sorry mate - have you actually read what I've written...

Revelation, quote: "I'm sorry mate - have you actually read what I've written..."
Fred Williams quote: "Yes I have, why are you being allusive?..."
Well, mate, are you going to answer him?

Life gets busy, I am sure we will hear back from him in due time. I know you're eager to see his thoughts on this but pestering people about responses (not so much if they ignore a response completely which can be tactfully pointed out, but mostly about the speed with which they respond) is against the forum rules brother. Not everyone visits the forum daily, and I am seeing in his profile that he was last active on this forum 3 hours before Fred made that post. If he were to strike up new conversations on the forum without ever responding, now that would be rather telling and might warrant you to urge him to respond.
