It would be nice if they would not keep trying to mislead people by making op ages of billions of years to make their finds seem extra special. It makes people doubt the rest of their stuff when they keep making up these wild dates.

This is Science Forum. Here we discuss Science stuff.
If you want to discuss religious stuff, then there is a Spiritual Forum for just that.
