The issue is that the Bible "tells" you the universe is 6000 years old So
a determination that a bone is 5000 years old is OK but a determination
that a bone is 7000 years old must be wrong because the universe didn't
exist 7000 years ago?
Can we measure back to the Creation or (only) to Adam's sin? In theory,
Adam could have lived 6,000,000 years before he sinned.
