Question
QUESTION: Hello Steve,so you know I am an young earth creationist therefore do not believe in the Darwinian myth or the billions of years myth.My question is if the universe is billions of years old as the public are duped into thinking why are there comets still in existence?To save time please do not refer to the imaginary Oort cloud that evolutionists cling to to try to explain the comet problem they have.Thank you for your time.P.S if you are an billion of year evolutionist I have many other questions for you again thank you
ANSWER: You can believe in what you wish, but I only deal in scientific FACT. Both radioactive dating of fossils, shifting of spectra from the expanding universe, and layers of sediment in canyons tell us that FACTUALLY, the Earth is 4.5 billion years old!

QUESTION: Tha-nk you for your quick response but I noticed you wrote fact to your answers.I will start with radioactive dating of fossils which is totally UNRELIABLE.Using the uranium-lead method in short why is the amount of helium-4 on earth only amount to about 13000 yrs worth not 4.5 billion.Again thank you but what happened to the comet problem if the universe is billions of yrs old
ANSWER: There is no comet problem !

QUESTION: Hello again,I am sorry but I have a problem with the billions of years fallacy evolutionists propose to the public.Please explain if Venus were billions of years old,its atmospheric heat would have soaked deeply enough into the planet to weaken its surface rocks.If this happened Venus'crust could not support mountains,the hot mountains could maintain their steep slopes.How could Venus be billions of years old?Thank you again,and I do not mean too come off as rudimentary.
I am not sure where you get your geology information from, but it is incorrect.
The whole thing in a nut-shell, is that Chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, and Astronomy, can, and has prooved that the Solar System is 4.5 Billion years old, and that the Universe is 14 - 16 Billion years old.
That is FACT.
Case Closed !!!!
