Bluish hollows on Mercury’s craters are thought to be due to volatile deposits escaping from the rocks. They indicate a young age, as such geological activity should have ceased eons ago, if the planet was old.

The planets are young (1) Mercury and Venus

In May and June 2019, the BBC TV showed British audiences a five-episode series about our solar system, narrated by Professor Brian Cox and titled The Planets. It was aired in Australia by ABC-Channel 2 in July–August 2019. Our response is titled “The planets are young”. We shall discuss Cox’s claimed long ages and evolutionary origin of these planets vs recent creation for them as described in the Bible, and see which scenario fits the evidence the best. We start with the first episode, A Moment in the Sun—The Terrestrial Planets: Mercury and Venus.

Isn’t there a theory that some of our planets predated some (near-?) collision that gave us others?
‘They indicate a young age, as such geological activity should have ceased eons ago, if the planet was old.’
even if that bit of nonsense were true, it would prove exactly what about the planets’ origins...?
I asked a priest once about the creation theme as outlined in the bible. He responded with “how long is one of God’s days”.

“A morning and an evening”
Exactly. Depends on who’s time frame it is measured from. One has only to read a little bit about the Special Theory of Relativity to get a grasp on the intricacies of time.
He should have answered “Since there was no spirit death before the fall of man, as attested to by God’s word- one day meant one day-”
Yes, a great game of billiards with 23 balls on a table that tends to slope to the middle. One of the reasons that a true second earth may be hard to find is that many believe that an oxygen rich atmosphere like ours is likely to only form on second generation planets.
> intricacies of time.
Yet almost everyone thinks notional extreme past events can be dated. This is particularly disappointing for anyone who claims to believe in a creator God. How long ago does something look like that happened while time was being created? Going further, how old might something look that’s been cursed and had death and entropy incorporated into it?
“Since there was no spirit death before the fall of man, as attested to by God’s word- one day meant one day-”
nothing or nobody died before someone wrote about the Garden of Eden...?
‘This is such an incorrect statement.’
like the old saying goes; consider the source...
nothing with a spirit- or nephesh (sp?) correct
[[nothing or nobody died before someone wrote about the Garden of Eden...?]]
Wait- to more precisely answer your quesiton- ‘when someoen wrote about it?” No of course not- man fell into sin way before it was written about- when man fell, he brought the curse of nephesh chayyah death on all things with spirits- before then there was no curse- that is not to say there wasn’t ‘cell death’ such as grasses- but there was not nephesh death-

I don’t think there was any kind of death, nor entropy, nor decay of any kind. I believe that the curse affected physics itself. This would affect the results of all dating methods that can’t be demonstrated in real time. No dating extrapolation back before the curse can be accurate.
What I would like to know is: “How long do these ‘how long is a day?’ people think it takes for God to speak something into existence?”
If God says “Let XXX happen.” do they believe there is some lag time, or long drawn out process between God speaking the command and reality obeying Him? What kind of omnipotent being would He be if that were the case?
