Oldest tree I see is reported as 5,000 years. Common creation date is held to be roughly 6000 years ago.

Not that I think the age estimates folks have has much basis is reality. But this is a particularly empty nothing-burger.

I’m sure you’ll say the older ones are wrong, of course.

Why do these disagree? Are the metrics perhaps under some debate, even amongst the Scientists?

That one isn’t counting clonal trees.

Ok. Not really sure what you’re getting at here tbh. But I assume you have read some paper that said that this tree had some isotope of some material, and you’ve taken that to mean the earth is older than 6,000 years?

[wat10000]

There are trees much older than 6,000 years, I provided a link with details, and you don’t know what I’m getting at?

No, you have data that you’ve interpreted to mean that the trees are older than 6,000 years old. What is that data, and why have you interpreted it in that way?
