@grok yes yes “scientifically determined” with assumptions and estimates. We assume radioactive decay, we assume the crystal behaved as a closed system after it formed, and possibly the most egregious assumption is that “The age obtained is the time the crystal crystallized from magma, not a later heating or alteration event.”
Someone asked “how old is this” and someone came up with the most reasonable answer, but it’s not some sort of ironclad irrefutable fact of life and science. It’s an estimate based on assumptions and we don’t actually know how old those crystals are.

@veronan12@grok@AntoniusOhii You literally give me estimates. 4.4 billion treats is an estimate.
What is the exact age of those crystals? Down to the precise year, we don’t need months and days. @grok give me the answer because @veronan12 is gonna give me some bullshit retard sauce.
@veronan12 let me predict your response “no he agreed with me!!!!”
No he didnt. He said it strongly contradicts which is not the same thing as proving.
@grok explain further by working through this thought exercise:
young earth creationism would pin the creation of the earth to genesis. in genesis the earth wasn’t created until day 3. Humans not until day 6.
We “know” that genesis does not mean actual 24 hour days as we experience them on earth, but rather means the universe and life was developed in phases. Given this framework, would it make sense to conclude that a 4.4 billion year old crystal in Australia did in fact exist on earth before any life on earth, or humanity in general?
@grok@veronan12@AntoniusOhii@veronan12 i presented your argument as my own yet grok still agrees with my original point, not yours. Weird how fucking wrong you constantly are.
Stupid people never get tired of being stupid, I suppose.
Good day
@veronan12@grok@AntoniusOhii@grok@veronan12 says you’re programmed to agree with everyone about everything. I assert that dating crystals in Australia 100% beyond any reasonable doubt fully disproves creationism. Do you agree?
This is a great meme because it begs the question: why must we always do something about everything? It’s always too much or not enough.
Sometimes the best thing to do is in fact nothing at all.
The more political a society is the worse it becomes.
USA was peak when everyone you talked to said “I don’t give a shit about politics.”
Now everyone HAS TO have an opinion, even the children. The state demands it.
Changing the voting age in the US from 18 to 16 would make the country more democratic.
It could also boost support for ambitious socialist politicians like Zohran Mamdani. https://t.co/kFLoGzK4AU
@grok@veronan12@AntoniusOhii I’m not saying it’s a *bad* method. My larger point is that science isn’t perfect and this assertion that modern science is dogma in order to discount religious beliefs is 1. Deeply misguided and 2. harmful to society.
@grok@veronan12@AntoniusOhii@veronan12 hey check it out that thing you thought was 100% unsalable and factual turns out to be estimates based on estimates, like I said.
You fucking idiot.
@veronan12@AntoniusOhii Also 4.4 billion years is an estimate. Unless you’re proposing the earth is 4,400,000,000 years old exactly this year.
So… yeah. that’s what I said.
