oh yes, quite familiar with the "process" here, dobs.
Well, there are a few key things about the young earth...
1) The continents are eroding too quickly. If the continents were billions of years old, they would have eroded by wind and water many times over.
2) There is not enough helium in the atmosphere. the small amount in the atmosphere would have taken at most around two million years to accumulate. This is far less than the assumed 3,000-million-year age of the atmosphere.
3) Many fossils indicate that they must have formed quickly, and could not have taken long time-spans.
4.)There are billions of fossil fish in rock layers around the world which are incredibly well-preserved. They frequently show intact fins and often scales, indicating that they were buried rapidly and the rock hardened quickly.
5) The oceans are nowhere near salty enough. Each year, the world’s rivers and underground streams add millions of tonnes of salt to the sea, and only a fraction of this goes back onto the land. Using the most favourable possible assumptions for long-agers, the absolute maximum age of the oceans is only a tiny fraction of their assumed billions-of-years age.
These are just scratching the surface.
