A pirate ship is found with a treasure chest. The coins read dates between 1750 and 1800. So is it true to say this ship was shipwrecked before 1800? No because of 1800 being the limiting factor.

Radiocarbon dating may say millions of years even. But what about others?

Oldest tree? 4300
Oldest desert? 4200
Oldest coral reef? 4200
Comets? Lifespan 10000 years. Why are there still comets?
Niagra falls crawls back 4.7 feet per year. Why isn't it back to Lake Erie by now?
Erosion would cause the Earth to be flat in millions of years.
Oldest writing systems around 5000 years old.
The Chinese year was around 4700 at our 2000.
The Saxons had a recorded geneology back to Adam.

What about these?
I take issue with the assertion on earth should be flatter now that is wrong the erroded material will still be here its just been moved somewhere else thats how errosion works hence we have errosion and we have deposition

Sorry for all the wiki stuff its just easier to find
