The methodology involved to determine the age of the earth, and the measurements that are used to quantify are indeed subjective. I can redefine the length of a year to mean just about anything I want, not that other people half to agree with me.
I'm being a bit argumentative on this, but my point is that the pursuit of science is based on human devices. I take humans to be non-objective. So, we as humans need to define our own truth, which by my understanding is the nature of being subjective. But I could be barking around symantically without much of a point... I've been known to do that from time to time.
This reminds me of something. Where in the bible does it actually say that the earth is 6000 years old? Is it there or is it something that creations are just saying and then trying to back up using biblical references? I'll look it up but I'm certain someone here knows the answer so I thought I'd ask.
