Creation Moment 5/30/2022 - Long Age Chronology: A Hard Mountain To Climb

 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 
1 Corinthians 3:19
 
"....the mountains are still rising.  
The forces of orogeny (mountain building) exceed the forces or erosion, so that, for example, Everest is rising at 50 to 62 millimeters per year, while being eroded down at
only about 2 millimeters per year.  
Everest’s peak is 5.5 miles above sea level, and mainstream geology asserts that the mountain is 40 million years old.  
But if it were really 40 million years old and had been growing at a net rate 48 millimeters per year (50 less two for erosion), the peak would now be 1,920 kilometers, or 1,193 miles, above sea level.  
*(By comparison, the space station orbits the earth at 254 miles.)  
*Climbers would need to carry a lot more oxygen than they do now."
