Scientists that always claimed our earth to be billions and billions of years old are now saying that in actuality it is closer to the mark of 6-7,ooo years.This of course is what JW's have always said.Put a tally on there sheet.
This is so interesting to make a statement and to get back reply's in varying degrees of in layman's terms prove your point.I watch many programs on TLC,Discovery.This subject of how old is the earth really has come up quite often of late.
I can link you to several sites that discuss this point.It does not mean that it is fact.I made a statement,a opinion.It was thoughts I gathered from others findings.

It's A Young World After All
Paul D. Ackerman
Baker Book House, 1986
Paperback, 131 pages
A summary of the dating methods that suggest a young age for the earth. Lots of subjective commentary, very selective about which dating methods to present, doesn't document the assumptions, but interesting and informative reading anyway.

records of evidence of a young earth
http://www.megabaud.fi/~lampola/english/17evidences.html#1
Meteoritic dust falls on earth continously,adding up to thousands if not millions,of tons of dust per year.Realizing this ,and knowing that the moon also had meteoritic dust piling up for what they THOUGHT was millions of years,N.A.S.A.scientists were worried that the first lunar ship that landed would sink into the many feet of dust which should have accumulated.
However only one-eight of an inch of dust was found,indicating a young moon
Meteoritic material contributes nickel to the oceans. Taking the amount of nickel in the oceans and the supply from meteoritic dust yields an age figure for the earth of just several thousand years, not the millions (or billions) expressed by evolutionists. This, and the lack of meteoritic dust piles on the earth, lend to the belief in a young earth.
MAGNETIC FIELD
The earth's magnetic field is decaying rapidly, at a constant (if not decreasing) rate. At this rate, 8000 years ago the earth's magnetism would have equaled that of a magnetic star, a highly unlikely occurrence. Also, if electric currents in the earth's core are responsible for the earth's magnetism, the heat generated by these currents 20,000 years ago would have dissolved the earth.
at any rate,I just happened by this interesting question by asking about dinosaurs.It is not by any means a new thought or one that hasn't been investigated on the different channels of exploring our vast universe.
DINOSAURS
Evolutionists insist that dinosaurs died out millions of years before man appeared. However, there are many reasons to disbelieve this. There are the stories of animals much like dinosaurs in the legends of many lands. These creatures were called dragons.
Many times in the recent past, explorers have recorded sightings of flying reptiles much like the pterodactyl. Human footprints were found along with those of a dinosaur in limestone near the Paluxy River in Texas.
Also not to be tossed aside is the possibility of dinosaurs living today. Consider the stories such as the Loch Ness monster (of which many convincing photographs have been taken). Some have claimed to see dinosaur-like creatures in isolated areas of the world.
Recently, a Japanese fishing boat pulled up a carcass of a huge animal that intensely resembled a dinosaur. A group of scientists on an expedition into a jungle looking for dinosaur evidence claims that they witnessed one, but their camera was damaged.
However, they tape recorded the roar of the beast. This recording was checked. The voice patterns on it did not resemble those of any other roaring. You decide. At any rate, the evidence that man and dinosaur did live together at one time poses another problem for the evolutionists.
"But if the dinosaurs lived at the same time as man, they would have had to have been on the Ark, and that's impossible!" Is it? The ark was about one and one-half football fields long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall. It had a cubic footage of 1,518,750.
There would have been plenty of room on the Ark for the dinosaurs (especially considering that only a few were of the enormous size of Tyrannosaurus or "Brontosaurus.") Also, the Bible states that Noah was to take two of every kind onto the Ark. Many dinosaurs and reptiles were of the same kind, but much smaller. Dinosaurs pose no problem for creation science.
SUN'S DIAMETER
The sun's diameter is shrinking at the rate of five feet per hour. At this rate, life could not have existed on the earth 100,000 years ago.

Helium Escape Problem~
Supposedly, these processes occurred over a period of 4.5 billion years. Many problems have been encountered, however, when attempting to reconcile the composition and processes in today's atmosphere with basic tenets of this model.
One of the most intriguing problems with the evolutionary model has been the attempt to explain why there isn't more helium in today's atmosphere, if the earth has existed for 4.5 billion years. This article will explore this problem and suggest an alternative to the evolutionary model.

Progressive Creationists
NOT A JW viewpoint but christian in origin.
No~ I did not imagine this or dream it up.I hope these views enable a better understanding of the possibility of a young earth.
I am that I am and that is enough for me.
