With the total of these counterexamples at 33, '''they demonstrate that the Earth must be young with a likelihood of greater than 96%'''. The same argument can be applied to the [[Young Earth]] theory.

''The motivation for [[atheist]]s to insist on falsely teaching that the Earth is old is to pull students away from [[God]]'s immediate presence, and to turn them away from [[Jesus Christ]]''.
