How old? Bible vs. science
I was questioning how science could determine that something is hundreds of thousands, millions or even billions of years old. In particular, bones. My thoughts were... Doesn't elements affect the aging process. Like cold, heat, fire, ice, elements in the air and dirt, etc. Cold slows down the decaying process so why wouldn't it affect the aging process of bones? How is it possible to know for sure what the bones were exposed to that could have affected the aging process? Especially over many of thousands, millions and billions of years. It just doesn't seem feasible to me that science could determine for sure, even if you give or take some years.
I googled my question and this is a link that came up. I will forewarn you, it is long, but if you want to and have time to read it or scan through it, here it is.
What about carbon dating?
This question/topic might not be in the right place but I put it here because I agree with the age of the earth and all that's in it, determined Biblically. Even so I am still interested in understanding science's view. But I quickly lose patience when I have to stop reading to look up scientific words.
Anyway, what are your thoughts?
