By the way on the point of the Earth's age, the assumption of the Earth's age being the same as the age of meteorites was made based on the Big Bang Theory ( which was based on the Doppler shift observation made on stars ). After the explosion, masses were microscopic in size and isolated. Gravitational force then started to accumulate nearby bodies together, forming meteorites and then planets. Note that the meteorites being dated were not of the age of the universe, but of our Solar System.
It's a fair assumption, nevertheless was proven a possible event after 70 separate meteorites were dated and found to be of about the same age. This also happened to match with the age of the oldest rock found on the Earth's crust (3.5 ~ Ga).
Of course, this is just another story that happens to coincide with our logic. Unless you repeat the measurements and find out yourself, it's just another story you heard and believed. To those who fancy the conspiracy theory, yes it's another conspiracy :evil:. Just pointing out that you are no different than the people who listened to stories and believed. Hence, stop calling yourselves idiots.
