The question is, why would anyone lean towards the idea that the earth was much older than 6,000 years? If it is because of what science and the media say, the scientists tell us themselves in their papers that they are not sure. It is the media and the universities that have made up the whole idea of millions or billions of years.

The evidence suggests the Earth is much older than 6,000 years... that's why... it's not someones opinion, it's based on facts and evidence

On the subject of certainty... you claim to know for certain the Earth is 6,000 years old, based on no evidence at all...

Scientists rarely claim certainty of anything... Scientists present the evidence, and their opinion on what the evidence suggests... and all the evidence suggests an Earth that is billions of years old, not thousands... the evidence for such is overwhelming... you have to intentionally blind yourself from the facts to believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old... period... end of debate

The person who claims to be certain, is certainly a liar *cough* BADlogic *cough*

Okay, so somebody has interpreted something he/she calls evidence...

NO, no... they present the evidence... and it is not "something he calls evidence"...

Evidence has a definition... some things count as evidence, like physical evidence... the changing of bone structure through time is a good example... you can clearly see hundreds of thousands of years of human history just by studying skulls and bones of ancient humans and primates... this is evidence which can be shown to anyone (this is one of thousands of examples of acceptable scientific evidence)

You have nothing that qualifies as evidence to support your (wrong) opinion of the Earth being 6,000 years old... nothing

Testimony, no matter how long ago it was written, is not scientific evidence... we know people lie, and have lied for thousands of years... people make up stories... it is not factual scientific evidence

So-called scientific evidence that is shown and said to be an uncertain thing by the scientists themselves, isn't really evidence. All dating back past about 4,500 years ago fits this description, and much of the dating before 4,500 years back is the same.
