Age Correlations and An Old Earth, Version 2 No 1

Whatever there was or was not need not concern you since you don't know. You try to limit the future and past to the mere constraints of the current world. How drool.

What else do you use?

We know that the pattern of the widths is very consistent showing consistent growth with modern days.There are no significantly visibly different rings that what is observed from normal climate variations. Not in either of the two Bristlecone Pine chronologies nor in the two European Oak chronologies.Making up fantasy is not an argument, it is fantasy. Fantasies don't explain correlations -- such as the correlations of rings with carbon-14 content in the rings across all four chronologies. Which continues with the lake and maring varves.Enjoy

What is your evidence? Do you know the detail of evidence of annual layers in the ice cores?Assertion and opinion have shown remarkably little success in changing reality.Enjoy

Ha. Why use anything unless you know? Why use a same state past, or the tooth fairy to tell us what the unknown was like? Just admit ignorance.

I seem to remember you could not even so much as produce a good pic of the inner tree rings for the bristlecone despite, if I recall having a family member in the field? Ha. Now you want to tell us that it all looks alike?

Except that we do know what the evidence shows, and what it shows is consistent old age from one measuring system to another.Can you explain that consistency -- why they all come to the same results with high degrees of consilience?Enjoy

We know lots of details from the last few hundred years. You have no details for the far past though.

Name a specific example of something that is consistent? Tree rings you can't even show us from 5000 years ago apparently! Ha. If you did, then what, you expect some weird bug anomaly there? Noah endured the nature change, and he probably looked much the same!

Because we have no reason to think that reality has magically changed. If water is wet today, it seems reasonable to assume it was wet a million years ago. Why wouldn't you? Creationists don't.

You appear to confuse me with someone else. The pattern is consistent from year to year, decade to decade, millennia to millennia. Curiously the tree rings can be observed for the because it was cut down to count the rings.

... We may never know the true story of what happened to Prometheus, but we do know one thing for certain; Currey had permission from the Forest Service to have the tree cut down. Counting the rings later revealed that Prometheus contained 4,862 growth rings. ...

​

The stump of Prometheus is all that remains of the ancient giant within the grove. If you would like to travel through history by counting the rings of Prometheus, you can do so at the Great Basin National Park visitor center.

And you can also observe with your own eyes their consistent character of annual growth rings.Enjoy

So you have no evidence, not even a shred to support your wild fantasy imaginings.Fail. Not debating in good faith. Typical.Enjoy

I asked you: Your answer does not address that question, so I'll take that as no, that you cannot explain the consistency of results from multiple sources.FAIL #2 Sadly, for you, the Bristlecone pine chronologies extend back to over 8,000 years ago with no remarkable change in growth patterns, and dead wood lying on the ground has been there without being floated off by some imaginary magic flood.As noted above you can count the rings on the Prometheus stump, but that is not all: there is another Bristlecone pine that is over 5,070 years old (same reference as above)

quote:

---

... After the death of Prometheus, the oldest known living tree was a 4,847 year old bristlecone pine found in the White Mountains of California. It wasn’t until 2012 when another bristlecone from the same area proved to be 5,065 years old. There is a good chance there are older bristlecone pines that have not yet been dated. ...

That was 5 years ago ...EnjoyEdited by RAZD, : .

We know. Past events leave traces.
