The age of the earth: thousands or billions?

There are some things that are so obvious that we do not need expert confirmation. Case in point are the results of a recent study released by the Kaiser Family Foundation. The study revealed that the number of sexual scenes on television has nearly doubled since 1998. Hello? I think we could have figured that one out for ourselves. Now what might be a bit more puzzling is the idea of the age of the earth. No doubt many of you would have watched documentaries where the narrator talks about the age of the earth in billions of years (and with such surety). Of course that is utter balderdash. This has been confirmed by the results of the Radioisotopes and the age of the earth (RATE) project which were recently presented. The RATE project has carefully investigated the method of radioisotope dating (the method that allegedly shows rocks to be millions or billions of years old, a timescale that is crucial if evolutionary theory is to be true). The creation account in Genesis indicates a much younger earth and this fact has now been confirmed. The RATE research draws on some of the best minds in science. The researchers have their Ph. D. in the areas of physics, geology, atmospheric science and geophysics to name a few. They have uncovered powerful scientific evidence which supports a young earth and explains the radioisotope data within a biblical timescale. I would urge interested readers to avail themselves to the material at the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society.
