__Actual Counter-examples__
  −
Most of the claims have a 0% chance of being actual counter examples, as they suffer from extrapolation fallacy.  Others, such as the biology ones presume for some that there are no changes to biology, and for other that there are no changes in the *rate* of change.

  Seconded.  Most of the claims in this article have been debunked.  Protecting the page only serves to deny the truth of Old Earth.

The statement "If each of 43 counterexamples has merely a 10% chance of being valid -- an underestimate -- then the probability that the Earth is billions of years old is only 1%."  cannot logically be followed with "In other words, the Earth must be young with a likelihood of 99%."  Since the 99% is based on the supposition that each of the 43 counterexamples has a 10% change of being valid.  It is also disingenuous to apply a probability to these "truths" as they are either true or not, and arbitrarily calling them at 10% is pure speculation.  Also considering that a large portion of those 43 would not actually prove young earth by themselves (even if they were true) leaves this whole preposition to be rediculous.  I might also add that this is quiet unencyclopedic.
