Age Of The Earth Research Paper

The age of the earth has been debated for centuries. Some people think that it is the big bang and everything evolved after that. They believe that that it took billions of years for earth to form. Others believe that God created the earth in seven days, and that the earth is young. There are plenty of evidence that earth is young. For example, there is only a little bit of sediment on the seafloor, but if the earth is 4 billion years old there would be more. Another example, is if the earth was old soft tissue would not be found in fossils. Secular scientist and Christian scientist both use different methods on figuring out how old the earth is. Secular scientist looks at layers of rocks to help them, while Christian scientist use the Bible
Before the 18th century not many people believed in an old earth. But during 1700s people began to challenge the age of the earth. The three men who stood for earth being old was Comte de Buffon, Pierre LaPlace, and Jean Lamarck. Buffon believed that the earth was at least 78,000 years’ old. He believed that a comet hit the sun which caused all of the planets to be created, and he believed it took 70,000. Pierre Laplace and Jean Lamarck also believed that the earth was really old. As time went on men in geology began to say that the earth was millions of years old. They began to ignore the Bible and use geology as the standard. They began to exclude all the natural catastrophes in the Bible, such as the flood. They believed multiple global catastrophes happened over time. The Flood would explain the reason as to why the enormous amounts of fossilized layers of rocks. That reason alone would debunk that the earth is young and did not take millions of years to
That maximum age is only a few million years. Obviously, their prevalence makes sense if the entire solar system was created just a few thousand years ago, but not if it arose billions of years ago. If the earth was old soft tissue from fossils would not be found if dinosaurs died 65 million years ago. But it would make more since if dinosaurs died about 3,000 or 4,000 thousand years ago. An example of finding soft tissue, is was when Mary H. Schweitzer was looking under the microscope of the bone slices of a femur from a Tyrannosaurus rex found in the Hell Creek. When she seen what looked like blood vessels, that can be seen in the bone marrow. It looked like it was red blood cells with the nuclei which is normal with reptiles and birds, but not mammals. The vessels seemed to have been lined with specialized endothelial cells, which can be found in all blood vessels according to Answers in Genesis. Even more surprising the bone marrow also contained what look like flexible tissue. When hearing about this, many evolutionists claim that dead bacteria formed what look like blood vessels and bone cells. But in 2010 Schweitzer and her coworkers found intact pieces a protein named collagen, which is the foundation for connective tissue, this proves that it was not made by bacteria according to the Scientific American. Many evolutionists criticized her conclusions because they did not want to believe that
