I'm fairly certain he referred to the consumption of H in stars to disprove my assertions; more specifically, the sun. Coragyps provided an interesting method to roughly calculate the amount of H in the sun that has already burned and how much should be left.
That's interesting, because measurements based on the abundance of helium and hydrogen in the sun are one of the ways that scientists estimate its age. Again, this is support for an old universe. Consider the following (from
Talkorigins claim CH210: Age of Earth):
quote:
The abundance and distribution of helium change predictably as the sun ages, converting hydrogen to helium in its core. These parameters also affect how sound waves move through the sun. Thus one may estimate the sun's age from seismic solar data. Such an analysis puts the age of the sun at 4.66 billion years, plus or minus about 4 percent (Dziembowski et al. 1999).
