CMI article image.
yet another epic fail for the religion of darwinists.....countdown to dismissive remarks and calls of ‘you just dont know how science works’
“The new radioisotope date they received gave an age of 37 million years...”
Interesting to see that the folks at CMI are acknowledging that there are 37 million year old rocks on earth.
If that was true it would be impossible to do radiometric dating on any sample that doesn't contain fossils.
I think you’re stretching pretty badly to get that interpretation. What the article clearly implies is that the radiometric dating is completely unreliable, not that they accept any part of the interpretation of it.
So how old is the earth then?
They just need more grant money to get this figured out.
last line of article: “ The Bible preserves the historical account of a year-long watery catastrophe that affected the whole world about 4,500 years ago. The physical characteristics of the Santo Domingo formation are completely consistent with this.”
Well, except when it involves the Shroud of Turin, I suppose.
It’s amazing what’s being accomplished with genetic analysis these days in the study of evolution. Here’s one example:

When the point of the numbers is the orders of magnitude, you’ll notice that a 5.7x error is a lot less damaging than a 21200x error. Being off by less than one order of magnitude isn’t a deal breaker.
Good time to ask the question: how does CMI reconcile fitting all visible cosmological objects (stars, galaxies) in a universe just 20,000 light years wide?
There are a lot of formations that aren’t. Most, actually.
“The date was rejected by paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey.”
Interesting that google does not return a link on this ....
On behalf of the whole workforce down here, we want to congratulate you for your diligent and unceasing efforts.
You continue to score success after success in keeping humans with a knowledge of physics, history, and biology out of the embrace of our Adversary.
With warmest regards,
Screwtape, Beelzebub and Co.
