Geologists have employed radioisotope dating to determine that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Different isotopes may be used to do this, but they all converge on the same approximate value.
Meanwhile, perhaps you are not aware that astronomers have determined that the sun is 4.5 billion years old through entirely independent means not at all ure in the past or the future. Physical processes are continuous in nature on the macro scale.
You say, "Astronomers have countless stars that they can observe at different stages of their life."
However, they have never seen a star form.
You say, "If you know anything about differential equations, you would know that you do not need to know a system's initial conditions to make predictions about its nature in the past or the future."
I made "A" in Differential Equations" in college and I know you can not us it to solve every problem.
As you say, "Physical processes are continuous in nature on the macro scale."
That is why nobody has ever seen a frog turn into a prince in real life. And it doesn't depend on billions of years. It depends on how the fool is educated.
Originally posted by KellyJayVolcanic ash Kelly can only come from a volcanic eruption. There's a fragmentation process which happens to the magma as it is blown into the sky due to the intense heat and pressure's involved. The magma turns into very small grains of glass. So when volcanic ash is found in ice core samples it has to have come from a volcanic eruption.
I think its possible it can happen, but do you acknowledge that is the only way
you'd see things like that occuring, only time is involved?

As for your question, give me example of how volcanic ash can be found hundreds of metres deep within an ice shelf and time not be involved. How did it get there?
Originally posted by Proper KnobThere has been over 4000 years since the flood and I am sure there has been volcanic eruptions since then and probably before then. So it takes little imagination to conclude that some volcanic ash was in the flood waters that froze at the north and south poles, etc. 😏

It says so in my fairy tale book.

Your ignorance knows no bounds.

You don't seem to realize there are stars in ALL stages of development and they are imaged all the time. Like this one:
http://www.nrao.edu/pr/2013/protostar/
Of course you will poo poo this one just like all the rest.
You take lemonade and all you see is citric acid.
Or this:
http://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/how-do-stars-form-and-evolve/
I love that word 'evolve'.
Mere humans are way too stupid to figure anything out, of course. Right?
Originally posted by sonhouseStars don't evolve either. They are made by God.

Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.

Originally posted by RJHindsMore of your fairy tales. Of course mere humans couldn't think themselves out of a paper bag, right? Its amazing how well we do according to you in anything that doesn't involve evolution or disputes the biblical fairy tales, eh. Funny how they use the exact same scientific principles for everything in science yet only evolution and how life started come under your pathetic gun.

Take a look at this: the Lunar orbiter launched recently to find water on the moon and geologic activity there:

I imagine you have nothing against the results of that probe, eh.
