How many times did you read " that the Alps are x million years old" ?
Did you ever take the time to ask yourself how much evidence is there for such statements ?
Did you ever think that all that is based on a decay dating technique whose results aren`t scientific ?
How old do you think are these mountains, rising like a wall 2000 meters above the lake ?
What is the closest number : 6 billion, 6 million, 6 thousand or 600 years ?
Take the time to think about comet Bradfield, the last one to join the spring of the comets. It could help you to answer that question.
- the largest comet ever recorded approaching the sun, Bradfield C2004/F4, popped out of nowhere April 12 and was caught by SOHO from April 16 to April 20.
MPEG Video :
http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/pickoftheweek/old/22apr2004/index.html - one of the reasons why the media keep silence about this story is that they would not have an answer to what people still able to pose questions would ask immediately : how comes that we keep hearing regularly about the discovery of stars and galaxies millions of light years away and nobody was able to spot the largest object ever approaching the sun until 6 days before perihelion (18 April) ?
Or take the time to think about the spring of the comets.
What are statistically the chances, that in billions of years, constellations like the one taking place RIGHT NOW, never impacted the earth or the moon (without which there would be no life on earth)... :
