What was said

"Every speck of dirt in the universe, the stars, everything is 13.772 billion years old. So this dirt came from an explosion 13.772 billion years ago, and you're claiming you can date the time it was laid down."

In a debate over geological dating methods, Kent Hovind unexpectedly accepted the Big Bang timeline of 13.772 billion years for matter creation while rejecting radiometric dating of geological layers. Hovind argued all sedimentary material is the same age despite being rearranged, contradicting standard young Earth creationist cosmology which typically dates Earth at 6,000 years. The inconsistency drew attention from opponent Eamon who questioned how this reconciled with biblical chronology.
