Re: AIG comment on the Ice Age

Years ago they came up with the same explanation for tree ring and
carbon-14 dating--multiple annual rings some years to fit about 6K into
4300 years. But I think the count is not 10-12K, so almost every year has
to have three annual rings. Apparently truth has nothing to do with
honoring the One who declared himself THE TRUTH.
