Why Young Earth Creationists are WRONG, Part I

Here I show using simple observable evidence that the earth is not 6000 years old. To believe the lies of young earth creationists one needs to ignore independent evidence from astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, and biology. In my next video I will discuss radiometric dating, including its caveats, and show how it proves the earth is billions of years old, exactly what evolution predicts.

Creationists love to cite examples of "false" rings as evidence that tree ring dating is flawed. First, false rings can be identified by two methods: alignment of multiple samples to show the ring is false; and ring density analysis to show the ring formed mid season. Second, false rings are extremely rare in bristlecone pines. The one example creationists love to cite is a publication where a scientist grew bristlecone seedlings in a climate controlled room and FORCED them to produce up to 4 false rings a year. They know, as anyone who reads this article does, that these were false rings produced under artificial conditions, yet they LIE and claim it proves bristlecones in the wild are riddled with false rings. Finally, frost rings formed during years of intense volcanic eruptions line up with the recorded years of those eruptions, indicating there are no false rings in the consensus.

Some species are more susceptible to false rings. Others are not sensitive enough to climate change to produce the variable rings required for crossdating. Creationists cite these species as examples of why tree ring science is flawed. Scientists know this. It was scientists who discovered these flaws. You know, the people who actually do the research. These species are NOT used to make long series chronologies.

@XDsubcompact

Get a proper education

@SwornByOath If you don't believe me ... GOOGLE IT. "World's Oldest Tree" ... it is 9550 years old ... well, older than the earth ... but I am sure YECs will find some way to say "no it isn't"

[SwornByOath]

@darththeo Uh, wrong. haha.

[darththeo]

The oldest known tree as of NOW: 9550 years ... that is proof enough for the world being older than six thousand.

@XDsubcompact please show us evidence that hasn't been thoroughly debunked alreadythat this is the case. cite your references. explain what geologists have to gain by joining together in a secret conspiracy to fool the world into thinking the earth & universe are billions of years old. please do the same for all other fields of study that confirm this fact. please then repeat all experimentation and provide us with the correct data. this is the requirements of factuality. ok, go:

@XDsubcompact (1) you don't mean Christians, you mean young earth creationists. The Pope, the archbishop of and canterbury believe in evolution. (2) Some creationsist have given an exact date for the creation event - 4004 BC. (3) 11,300 years is supposed to be the earliest reliable tree ring records, not the age of the earth (he worte that in huge letters, as an aid), (4) the Rocky mountains are 80 million years old. Radiometric dating says 4.6 miilion years for the oldest rocks on earth, etc.

@XDsubcompact Wow, you must have gone To Liberty University.

@MADbokowsky You obviously didn't watch the whole video. He specifically refers to a tree that grows only one ring per year, and the false rings or stunted growth accurately lines up with known weather/volcanic events.
