I'm sure that the tape will show why IT is inaccurate. Appearantly your
scientist must have rewritten the laws pf physics and changed the speed
of light and altered the decay rate of radioactive isotopes to get his
evidence that the age of Earth is only 6000 years. He must be God
himself! You have to do alot more than to watch a few shows on Discovery
and Learning Channel to understand how science has arrived at the 4
billion year old age for the Earth. Try reading a book or taking a class.
Go to a museum or call a professor of Geology at a nearby university or
community college...but it is obvious that you had your mind made up
before the tape was even in the mail, and I have better things to do than
to watch cartoons.
