Most Scientific Dating Techniques Indicate That the Earth, Solar System, and Universe Are Young.

For the last 150 years, the age of the Earth, as assumed by evolutionists, has been doubling at roughly a rate of once every 15 years. In fact, since 1900 this age has multiplied by a factor of 100!

Evolution requires an old Earth, an old solar system, and an old universe. Nearly all informed evolutionists will admit that without billions of years their theory is dead. Yet, hiding the �origins question� behind a vast veil of time makes the unsolvable problems of evolution difficult for scientists to see and laymen to imagine. Our media and textbooks have implied for over a century that these almost unimaginable ages are correct. Rarely do people examine the shaky assumptions and growing body of contrary evidence. Therefore, most people today almost instinctively believe that the Earth and universe are billions of years old. Sometimes, these people are disturbed, at least initially, when they see the evidence.

Actually, most dating techniques indicate that the Earth and solar system are young�possibly less than 10,000 years old. Here are some of these points of evidence:

One product of radioactive decay within rocks is helium, a light gas. This helium then enters the atmosphere�at a much faster rate than it escapes the atmosphere. (Large amounts of helium should not escape into outer space, even when considering helium�s low atomic weight.) Radioactive decay of only uranium and thorium would produce all the atmosphere�s helium in only 40,000 years. Therefore, the atmosphere appears to be young (a).
