Software developer and former tech executive who likes to learn stuff. Now I do it out loud, in short (and soon long) videos.

Currently asking whether evolution is true and how old the Earth is. The internet has opinions.

It comes from your imagination😂😂 what a crock😂😂😂 Patterson ' I know a rock is a billion years old' also Patterson 'noone can possibly know what a rock looked like a billion years ago or even if a rock can last a billion years😂😂😂😂😂
Curator's note the second quote isn't his. you don't need to know what the rock looked like back then. you measure what's in it now: uranium turns into lead at a steady rate, so the lead that has built up tells you how long it's been. that's why he tested his method on a granite already dated to about a billion years by a different method, and his number matched. ❤️
