That's impossible!  The earth is only about 6,000 years old.  I know
because I read it at
  http://www.conservapedia.com/Age_of_the_Earth

I know that is "the trustworthy encyclopedia" because it says it is.
It says that notions of an older earth are "fatally flawed".  See
also the references cited therein.

That, too, is based on old-earth thinking and is therefore "fatally
flawed".  Why should we pay attention to Kelvin anyway?  He's just
some so-called "scientist".  And a damn foreigner.  What could Kelvin
possibly know about temperature?

I tell my friends:  What's the point of denying the foundations of climate
science unless you are also going to deny the foundations of geology,
physics, and biology?

These are inter-related parts of one big hoax:
 -- the geology of the "old earth" is a hoax
 -- the paleontology of fossils is a hoax
 -- the biology of evolution is a hoax
 -- the physics of radio-isotopes is a hoax(*)
 -- global warming is a hoax

(*) Except for nuclear weapons.  God wants us to have lots of nuclear
weapons.  Just so long as we have them and nobody else does.
