Creationist Arguments For A Young Earth

"Young Earth" creationists have a number of arguments to show that the Earth is 6,000 to 10,000 years old, instead of the 4.5 billion years stated in science texts.

Some of these arguments, found on the Web today, are:

• About population growth
• About the diameter of the Sun
• About neutrinos from the Sun
• About the speed of light and the distance to the stars
• About the Earth's magnetic field decreasing or reversing
• About short-period comets
• About the amount of dust on the moon
• About fossil meteorites
• About the recession of the moon
• About the amount of helium in the atmosphere
• About Robert Gentry's polonium halos
• About the erosion rate of the continents
• About the erosion rate of Niagara
• About the size of the Mississippi River delta
• About the amount of sediment on the ocean floor
• About the size of stalactites in caves
• About the minerals in the ocean
• About the saltiness of the oceans
• About anomalous dates
• The apparent age argument (Omphalos, Last Wednesdayism)
