How old is the earth? Billions of years or just thousands of years?
A comet is a small, icy snowball in the sky that often has a tail. But comets don't last very long. Each time they swing around the sun they become smaller. The sun evaporates the comet's ice and dust particles then break free. That's what forms the comet's tail. At best comets can only last a few million years. That we still see comets today is more evidence the earth is young.
It is claimed the new comets come from the Kuiper Belt. But the objects in the Kuiper Belt are very different from comets. So that doesn't work. Well, that means that new comets come from the Oort Cloud. But the Oort Cloud is just a theory. It has never been observed. There is no evidence that it exists. It is simply circular reasoning. We know that comets still exist because they come from the Oort Cloud. We know there is an Oort Cloud because we still have comets. That's not science!

Before you get the good news, you need to know the bad news. It's about you. God says:
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. - Romans 3:23
Sin means disobeying God, aka breaking God's law. God is perfect and perfection is required to enter heaven. It's a standard none of us can achieve. We all fall short. For example, compare yourself with just one of the Ten Commandments. Have you ever told a lie?
All liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. - Revelation 21:8. Or what about:
Have you ever taken something that does not belong to you, no matter how small? Have you ever looked at another person with lust? In Matthew 5 Jesus said:
Everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.' Have you done that?
You have broken God's laws. You have sinned. There must be justice, and that means eternity in hell, the lake of fire, the second death. Unless...
Unless there was someone willing to pay that penalty on your behalf. Someone who will take on themselves the consequences you deserve. And there is. There is one person who can and will do that. That person is Jesus Christ. If you trust this is true (believe), and repent (turn away from disobeying God), Jesus' death is applied to your account and you are freed from the penalty of sin to be with God forever.
