Evidence for a Young Earth and Universe

Here are evidences for a young earth paraphrased from another website. They were taken from various creationist sources:

1.The sun shrinks at a known rate. If it were more than a million years old--at the most--it would have been too big and too close for life to exist on earth.
2.Cosmic dust on the moon amounts to less than 10,000 years of accumulation.
3.The moon recedes a few inches a year. Even a few million years of being closer to here would have produced tides that would have destroyed all life on earth.
4.Spiral-shaped galaxies wind themselves up. Inner stars move faster than the outer stars so they would have become a homogeneous mass if they were billions of years old.
5.The present rate of decay of the earth's magnetic field means the earth cannot be over 25,000 years.
6.Short-lived comets indicate a universe of less than 10,000 years.
7.Tremendous pressure in oil and gas wells would have dissipated through the permeable rock that houses them if the earth were more than 10,000 to 100,000 years old.
8.Our continents would have eroded to sea level in less than 14,000,00 years at the current rate of erosion.
9.The internal temperature of the earth would be much cooler if it were 4.6 billion years old.
10.Polonium halos inside granite indicate the rocks formed rapidly. Polonium has a very short half-life, and the halos only form in solid rock.
11.Helium is too abundant in air and in rocks today. The rate of dissipation from rocks is known, so this indicates a young earth rather than an old earth.
12.Only a few thousand years depth of sediment lies on the ocean floor.
13.Billions or even millions of years would make the oceans much saltier than they are now.
14.No problem for our current world population to come from eight men and women since Noah's flood about 4000 years ago (approximately 5.5 billion souls).
15.The oldest living tree is about 4300 years old.
16.Historical records only go back about 6000 years.
17.The Bible only covers about 6000 years.

This is only a partial list of natural "clocks" used to gauge the age of the earth. More will be discovered. We must assume evolutionists have either ignored these indicators or they have alternative explanations. In such explanations, neither creationists nor evolutionists will probably deny the second law of thermodynamics that says that the rate of decay increases instead of decreases. It is hard to imagine sound evidence-based arguments against the seventeen items above.

We Christians live by faith, but it is a faith that fits the facts. We need have no fear of new discoveries. The Bible is always vindicated and it always will be so.

My wife and I recently collected fossils in two of our Ohio parks. As we were driving home from our last trip, we discussed names to replace those evolution-based ones adding millions and billions of years to earth's history. Since we all go back to Adam and then Noah's family, we don't require as much memory work as our evolutionist friends. We coined the Predelugioscene, and Postdelugioscene ages. That seemed a little too simple to appeal to scientists who are really into classifying everything animate, inanimate, and antique, so we added Floodoscene Era and the Highawatta Age.

There'll be no tests on that.
