The main arguments you hear defending deep time, in this forum at least, are usually just the same old tired ad hominems (e.g. “Anyone who doesn’t believe the universe is billions of years old is a total retard” or simply “You’re an idiot!”)

romans116 say: Kinda wierd only because people are taught otherwise. I'm not so sure about 6,000 years old because we're not sure how long Adam and Eve were in the garden before they sinned but certainly not millions or billions of years old. Anyway, I hold to a young earth.
-
Gregory say: because it is only about 6000 years old. the dates scientist proclaim are false dates
-
Link H say: Yes, it is hard to understand the thinking. We can see that "creation" is still progressing. New stars and planets are forming as we speak. We can suppose that life, given the right conditions, is probably also evolving on young planets elsewhere in the universe. Through radiometric dating methods, we can measure the age of billion-year-old rocks with an error of a few million years, and 50,000 year old bones with an error of less than a century.

holt say: which Christians insist such?/ are you generalising?
-
Jimmy say: They claim that humans have been on earth for 6,000 years, not the earth itself. Christians base their beliefs off the book of lies. Don't believe them.
-
Thomas say: People cling to their old fashioned ideas no matter how much proof there is to the contrary.
-
Moose say: Life on earth is 6000 years, what else do you want to know?
-
Kieth say: We don't, what church do you keep blathering about?
