those combined together make the earth uninhabitabe by ANYTHING up until 125 miles in space closer to the sun than our current position.
​
HN, I trust that you already know that our planet is nearly 5,000,000 kilometers closer to the Sun today, the 27th of January, than it will be on the Fourth of July?
​
Oh, you didn't know that? You could look it up...
​
Welcome to EvC, HN. Sorry, but you may have to support statements you make around here.

Oh, and I looked it up: we're 11,000 miles further from the sun today than we were at this time yesterday. Does that mean we froze today, or did we die of heatstroke yesterday?

Re: Dating dirt
Buz - "dirt" can very often be dated by carbon-14 dating of charcoal, from forest fires or campfires, or by methods like thermoluminescence that essentially measure how long sand grains have been shielded from sunlight. There are plenty of good threads on this forum on carbon-14 - and carbon 14 reflects the "correct" date for King Hezekiah's tunnel from the spring at Gihon into Jerusalem.

Re: Dating dirt
there would needs be significant continuous areas of sediment layering which could be dated layer by layer from, say 3000 years back to 50,000 years back...

Lake Suigetsu. Say it loudly. Then enter "suigetsu" into the search function right here at EvC, and read any of the dozens of excellent posts by RAZD, JonF, Chiroptera, or even me about that 45,000 year set of carbon-14 dates. They correlate with other dates from icecaps, corals, stalagmites......perhaps you've forgotten, Buz.

Re: Dating dirt
Thus, all we would know is that the trees were older (perhaps significantly) than birds, fishes, animals and humans.
​
Too bad about that fossil record, isn't it.......
​
It doesn't show that at all!
