Upper
limit s tell us the maximum possible age the world could
have. Lower limits would give us a
minimum possible age. But these
processes give us no minimum, so the lower limit is zero . The true age is somewhere between.

Different
processes give different upper limits, but they don't contradict each
other. Process 1 gives an upper limit
of 200 million years; process 2, 10,000 years. Both processes agree that the true age
could be zero. Both agree that the
true age can't be greater than 200 million years. Process 2 says the age
can't be greater than 10,000 years, and process 1 says, "Hey, I can live
with that."

So
these data imply that something is seriously wrong with with accepted
dating methods and the
commonly-accepted view of the world.
In my other talks I show that the underlying assumptions of the
"old-earth" methods are not consistent with either the Bible or
scientific data.

But
we don't have time to talk about all of them, so we must
pick a few samples ...
