what a laugh! people actually believe the earth is 286 million years old!

I dont think it states the EArth is that old just the find friend. Also programs are timeless and have loops!

Thanks

i mean i could make a pot out of 100 year old clay but the pot itself would only be 1 minute old, yet it would get dated as 100 years old if u catch my drift??

You would be correct in your calculation The phenomena we are searching for is how it came to be entombed in a coal rift. What we cannot determine is is it were built underground, or if it was layered over by epochs of time by wind and water. Just as ruins discovered hundreds of feet deep in offshore locations. Were they built underwater, or did the rising sea levels inundate them?

ah well that will teach me not to read the entire thing lol..!!

i think its more plausible that landslides, tsnuimas or maybe an earthquake even could have possibly buried this wall.

but whos to say its very intriguing

It's worth noting that if I go into a mine, to a seamhead where the coal being extracted is ~286 million years old, and drop my digital watch .....

..... and a month later someone finds it under a pile of coal dust, right where the latest coal has been dug from ......

It does not mean the digital watch is 286 million years old


(by the way, we can't use carbon dating on anything more than ~40,000 years old. There are numerous other methods for dating rocks, including coal)

Great thread , I will have to go over it later since I have to run an errand but just a quick note before I get out . Who said it had to be humans that made those ? I mean 280 mln years old means this could have been build by a highly evolved race of sentient worms, or butterflies for all we know Just throwing it out since I am almost sure (I read only a few posts) , the old debate about human age will develop here

Thanks for your valid points made. 1 must ask tho can you share these other ways of dating.
Be well

While I understand your overall point, I don't see how it relates here.

From what I'm understanding this isn't something you can just drop and then someone else finds next week. I've never accidentally dropped a brick wall, but I have dropped my watch quite a few times.

Yea me and anotheR poster noted the potentials that hollow EArth inhabitants could have done it as well or other beings non native to EA.

Good point made. Human age amazing the mystery inolved. Like some just dont want the answers out. But its cool eventually all data will be universally shared so non are lost anymore.

Be well
