Slide 4 of 25
Notes:
Upper limit s tell us the maximum possible age the world could have. Lower limits would give us a minimum possible age. But these processes give us no minimum, so the lower limit is zero . The true age is somewhere between.
Different processes give different upper limits, but they don't contradict each other. Process 1 gives an upper limit of 200 million years; process 2, 10,000 years. Both processes agree that the true age could be zero. Both agree that the true age can't be greater than 200 million years. Process 2 says the age can't be greater than 10,000 years, and process 1 says, "Hey, I can live with that."
So these data imply that something is seriously wrong with with accepted dating methods and the commonly-accepted view of the world. In my other talks I show that the underlying assumptions of the "old-earth" methods are not consistent with either the Bible or scientific data.
As I said, I'll concentrate on "young-world" processes
But we don't have time to talk about all of them, so we must pick a few samples ...
