Suppose a scientist at a major university did an experiment he or she devised which yielded an age of the universe of 8,000 years, what would he or she assume? I'll telll you what; the experiment was flawed, and they would keep mucking with it until they got the number 'right'. But scientists never fudge data do they? East Anglia anyone?
Yes, of course. Misdirection aside, scientists from all across the world have reviewed and repeated the experiments, including Christians. The corroboration showing the universe is billions of years old is gargantuan. You can't ignore it or misdirect from it. Doing a google search, there's
tens of millions of hits for the age of the universe, with the first
ten pages being links to alternative various sources showing studies confirming the age from universities all across the world using a variety of methods. There are even religious sites showing why the evidence is so overwhelming and that YEC is simply untenable. Such incredible corroboration, especially of evolution and the age of the Earth, are why there is no debate. The Earth is not young, period.
If the amount of corroboration sunk in at all, the only thing you could be thinking is either I'm lying, making it up, or there is a vast conspiracy that is worldwide. For the first two, you can check yourself. So it must be the third. Thousands of organizations across the globe are simultaneously fudging numbers and making stuff up. They all have some 'agenda', or some 'reason' to show the age of the universe to be billions of years old. They either really hate YEC or are all following some religion I've never heard of! What other motive is there!?! Stahrwe, you're being delusional.
Think about it!
