FIFY.


I happen to think the Earth is old (millions), just not whether it is billions of years old. The biggest gripe I have with radiometric dating is that, even if it were 100% accurate, you aren't measuring the age of a planet, but the age of an atom.



Really? How does one measure the age of an atom? Count the rings, the length of beard, what?
