Conservation of Angular Momentum

[QUOTE=Zain;2354571]Well then let's talk about dating the Earth again. I must go offline after the post.

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?

Wrong, not unless someone up very badly. Plus, radiocarbon is only accurate for 60,000 years.

Oldest tree? 4300

Wrong, 5,000, and if you look at the clonal colonies, some are anywhere between 100,000 and a million years old.

Oldest desert? 4200

WTH? How do you date that? WHY would you date that? That is not supposed be measured. That is like saying - alright, this field is 5,000 years old.

Oldest coral reef? 4200

Wrong, some are at least 150,000 years old. If you count the dead ones, it will be even more ancient...

Comets? Lifespan 10000 years. Why are there still comets?

Wrong. Very silly too. Everything we know of in the universe but matter and energy itself is created, lingers on for some time, and then is destroyed only to make way for new cycle. We already know of planets, suns, black holes, asteroids, nebulae, etc, etc which are being both currently destroyed and generated. Saying we would run out of comets is like saying we would run out of water on earth just because it evaporates. Of course it evaporates, but it also comes back. So do comets. We have not see the Oort cloud, but there is no reason why it cannot exist. After all, if everything else is renewed in this Universe, why cannot comets do the same, especially since they are so comparatively simple compared to the formation of suns or planets.

Niagra falls crawls back 4.7 feet per year. Why isn't it back to Lake Erie by now?

Wrong. It will be. Everything is in motion on this planet. Ten million years ago there was no Erie, nor anything similar there. Everything is constantly changing. Erosion will shape the current landscape.

Erosion would cause the Earth to be flat in millions of years.

Good Lord, have you not studied geology at all, or did you flunk it :P? I will not even bother to explain this one..

Oldest writing systems around 5000 years old.

Sumerians are older than the Creationist Young Earth. Explain that. Plus, the last scientific source that was actually modern and revolutionaryin its time that the creationists listened to was James Usshers reckoning that Creation was on 23rd of October, 4004 BC. That was in 1648, when men believed in witches, body humours, and such rubbish. Not exactly cutting-edge science, eh?

The Chinese year was around 4700 at our 2000.

Eh? Sorry, please elaborate.

The Saxons had a recorded geneology back to Adam.

Do I have to list all the manure Saxons believed? You trust the Saxons but you do not trust Stephen Hawking? Please...

What about these?

Good question: what about?
