I think you're ignoring that list at then end of the article, which is sort of the point. If 200 years were the max it would seem likely (not demanded, just likely) that we would be the ones experiencing it. Instead we're just in the middle of a happenstance pack.

This isn't compelling. We don't have to be the greatest at everything, even if we are the chosen of God. "Hey, how come elephants are so big? We aren't that big. If we were created in God's image, then obviously we'd be bigger than elephants! But instead, we're just mediocre. Even gorillas are bigger than us. What kind of God would do that?"

Excuse me? Why arent we smaller? If we were built in God's image, surely we'd be the smallest living things on Earth, but bacteria are smaller than us. Heck, even mice are smaller! WTF?

Why do nonbelievers keep making threads like this, you all already have all the logical arguements you need. These kind of threads just make you look silly

Humans lived longer before the flood.

My question to you is if the planet has been around for a few billion years, why is the oldest living organism we can find less than 5000 years old?

Why is the oldest (insert naturally occurring land formation here) less than 5000 years old? (I.E. deserts, deltas)

Those 2 statements alone prove nothing, but is certainly something to consider.

Seems to me, a 10,000 year old tree somewhere would shut a lot of young earth creationists up.

The Burgess Shale, ~ 500 million years old.

based on what?

Fossil records?

And how do you know the fossils are 500 million years old? Because of where they're found in the rock?

But... wait...

Since they are more interested in proving themselves right, instead of seeing if falsification of their 'theory' is plausible, you can't shut them up. So what we can state safely is that creationism is scientifically irrelevant, but probably makes some people sleep better at night.

So it was a completely dishonest inquiry. Go figure.
