The vast thicknesses of sedimentary rocks around the world are commonly used as evidence for vast age.First, Sedimentary rocks are formed when solid materials carried by wind and water accumulate in layers and then are compressed by overlying deposits.
On the other hand, basing one’s ideas on the Bible gives a very different picture.A lava flow is a moving outpouring of lava, which is created during a non-explosive effusive eruption.When it has stopped moving, lava solidifies to form igneous rock. Although lava can be up to 100,000 times more viscous than water, lava can flow great distances before cooling and solidifying because of its thixotropic and shear thinning properties.This gives us the impression that all but a small percentage of the dates computed by radiometric methods agree with the assumed ages of the rocks in which they are found, and that all of these various methods almost always give ages that agree with each other to within a few percentage points.Since there doesn't seem to be any systematic error that could cause so many methods to agree with each other so often, it seems that there is no other rational conclusion than to accept these dates as accurate.
