I just wanna know what the evidence is for a young earth without citing scripture. I don't want the evidence for an old earth, I'll reserve that for another thread.

So what is the scientific evidence?

Try to limit posting just URLs.

There is none. There is, however, a multitude of psuedoscientific evidence at AiG. Please remember to visit Talk.origins and The Evolution Evidence Page for rebuttals to their nonsense.

Young as opposed to what?

As Jinot stated, there is exactly zero, scientific evidence for a young earth, but a staggering wealth of it for an old one.

I'd sugest doing a google for, 'young earth' and 'creation'.

Um, don't you think that if there were any scientific evidence for a young earth, this would mean that the age of the earth would be in some doubt?

If there were evidence both ways, even if only a little on one side, there would be rather more debate going on about it, trying to resolve the issue. But there is none. None. Nobody who studies this stuff -- apart from the few with not-so-hidden religious agendas -- thinks the earth is less than billions of years old.

If someone thinks the earth is young, I invite them to Britain. Come down the coast a bit from me to Dover, and ponder how all that chalk -- all those millions of tiny sea-creature skeletons -- got there. Or a few miles the other way, to Lyme Regis. Come with me and smack open some rocks that have fallen from the black cliffs to the beach, and find ammonites in nearly every one. There ain't no ammonites any more in the seas, you know.

To anyone with an open mind, it is very silly to think that the earth is mere thousands of years old. To anyone who has studied it... and to anyone who knows some physics and knows about K/Ar dating... it is so ridiculous as to imply that such believers are just ignorant, deluded, or insane.

TTFN, Oolon

As for URLs, you could try a browse around Patrick’s wonderful Creation Science and Earth History pages. And for light relief (of sorts, depends on how much you like Chaucerian verse ), I recommend The Geologist’s Tale.

Hello Truth Seeker/searchlight. Lemme ask you a question: Do you think you're going to learn anything here about YEC models that you haven't already been told about at ARN and ISCID, or, are you just spamming internet boards?

Lemme ask you a question Principia: Can you stop being so obnoxious? I posted this question to ARN .. I never posted it to ISCID. Are ARN and Infidels sister sites with the same users? - NO.

Principia

Gee, I was just asking a question, just like you... I see, so you are spamming internet sites. Tell us, searchlight: what do you think we'll say differently about the BS that is YEC, than what you've already heard at ARN?

searchlight lives in Texas. If you can't get to England, you can just go out to Guadalupe Mountains National Park on the Texas/NM border and view El Capitan. Note that this mountan range is the remains of an ancient coral reef, once under the sea many millions of years ago (in the Permian era), and now some 8000 feet above sea level.

You know, searchlight, let's put all of your other questions that you're bound to ask us to revisit for you out in the open...

If it was ID, then isn't that where science should lead us to?
Essentially, is the position of a large # of people?
Evolutionists believe ...
How do you know?
Does evolution create anything new?
Now, looking through all of those threads (btw, I left out a few about books and such), lemme ask you another question: have you learned anything yet?
