Re: [asa] 10 Evidences for the Age of the Universe

11. The distribution of radioactive material. The long-lived stuff is
still around; the short-lived stuff is found only in miniscule
amounts.

12. The sheer volume of coal deposits. Almanacs give business records
of how much has been mined, by year, global-wide, since the 18th
century. No matter what mechanism one posits for coal formation, it
must be acknowledged that coal is the remains of living organisims. If
the earth is 6000 years old, those organisms could not have co-resided
on it. Same argument for oil, BTW.
