It takes only one "counterexample" to disprove the theory of an [[Old Earth]].<ref>Most of the "evidence" for an [[Old Earth]] is based on claims that lack testability, as in [[radiometric dating]], and hence would not even satisfy minimum requirements for admissibility in court.</ref>  As with any logical proposition, one contradiction disproves the proposed rule.  If each of the 25 counterexamples provided here has merely a 10% chance of being valid, which is certainly an underestimate, then the probability that the Earth is billions of years old is only 7%. From another perspective, '''these counterexamples demonstrate that the Earth must be young with a likelihood of at least 93%'''. (this is baffling in its complete lack of logic.  Just because you suggest a series of examples, it does not mean that ANY of them have a chance of being true.  I can list 100 ridiculous possibilities and still have a 0% chance of any of them being factual.  You use this argument time and time again and it simply has NO merit)
