Disclaimer: heavily inspired by a quora answer whose identity I don't intend in revealing.
This disproves and destroys old earth creationist attempts to extend time line, changing dates or trying to cal biblical time as subjective and some even tried to bring in time dilation without understanding the concept and to explain the creation story in genesis 1.
I have always found old earth creationists more radical than the new earth ones as for one thing the former involves a lot of lying and a lot of racism(on how christians brought about renaissance and all the science that could prove earth's age, concept of evolution etc) and all this is accompanied with extremism as well, when it comes to other cultures and religions and forms of thought but all this attempts are in vain as the bible was written to be meant to be taken seriously. Do you agree?
