Nah, not Billions of years for the Rockies. Tens of Millions. There were ancestral "Rockies" before the current Rockies, though.

Mount Saint Helens is a quite young volcano, likely no more than 40,000 years old, and no scientists have claimed otherwise. When you take into account erosion, and the fact that it has a tendency to keep destroying its top, when MSH does grow, it will do so pretty rapidly, geologically speaking.

OK, now darn it, Our President, is responsible for, terror attacks, hurricanes, problems with the intelligence agencies, but I will not allow him to be blamed for things that happened 40,000 years ago, I think a demonrat was in charge then.(grin)
