This “is one of those vague half-truths that fails to address the specifics of either the passage or the issue that the statement is trying to comment on.” Later in this article, the author also says: “I don’t even think the description of the scene in Genesis 1 is poetic. It’s quite a mundane description of God’s creative activities from the point of view of one on the earth.” Read more here:...
Read MoreHow do you date archaeological sites?
How do you date archaeological sites? Are the secular models of the stone age, bronze age, iron age, (etc.) accurate? “1. Fossil dating. This is largely irrelevant in this context as it is used for much greater periods of time. However, it is used to some extent in the Lower Paleolithic strata as here defined. Fossil dating assumes that the fossil can be dated by the rock in which it is found, and dating of the rock in which it is found assumes that it can be dated...
Read MoreCoral – Evidence of Age or Quick Growth?
In a popular evolutionary book, the argument was made that coral growth within fossil corals can accurately show us that the length of days were shorter hundreds of millions of years ago. But from this further examination, there are a lot of other factors that also influence the growth of corals. And that there is still good evidence for the creation model! See more here:...
Read MoreDismissing without Digging!
This is what we are dealing with – very simple articles that dismiss the evidence from science without even digging into the arguments. Notice how they say right off the bat: “In fact, dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago,” – this is a statement about the past, which is based on assumptions. It is an assumption not a fact....
Read MoreFunny Addition to Some Significant Evidence!
Did you hear about the scientific paper (explained here: https://phys.org/news/2018-05-gene-survey-reveals-facets-evolution.html) that showed “that 90 percent of animal life, genetically speaking, is roughly the same age”? How do we correctly interpret that scientific evidence? Notice that that is continually the question that we have to ask – and that shows that everyone is forced to say that their assumptions affect how the data is interpreted. Note the following...
Read MoreDoes the Age of the Earth and Science matter to Christianity??
Does a belief in the ancient Earth lead to Atheism? Charles Templeton “was more famous than his team-mate at the time, Billy Graham.” “Then things changed. Templeton had long had doubts about the history in Genesis, which is foundational to the entire structure of the Gospel, and how it seemed to contradict the ‘scientific facts’. Logically, ‘millions of years’ meant that the fossils were laid down long before man, hence before sin. But the fossils showed death,...
Read MoreAre Young Earth Beliefs New?
Some have claimed that “for the last 2000 years most Christians have not believed in a young earth and it is only in the last half century that it has become a big issue for some Christians.” Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Wesley and many of the great Christian commentary authors have considered the age of the Earth to be young. See this resource: https://creation.com/british-scriptural-geologists-in-the-first-half-of-the-nineteenth-century-part-1#interpretation The...
Read MoreDoes the age of the Earth matter to Christians?
“This question implies the Earth’s age, like its shape, can be directly measured—well it can’t, it’s a category-mistake.3 Earth’s age can only be inferred and depends upon the worldview of the investigator. The philosophical assumptions behind these dating techniques invalidate any supposed claim for rocks being reliable clocks, so are not “proven results of science”” See more about this question and 9 other questions here:...
Read More“There is no evidence for a ‘Young Earth’!” – Or is there?
“There is much powerful and positive evidence for a young earth, including dinosaur soft tissue discovered in dinosaur bones supposedly hundreds of millions of years in age; or the presence of carbon 14 in diamonds, coal, oil and other fossils; or global geological formations that can only be explained by invoking continental scale catastrophic flooding, such as planation surfaces, and water gaps; or the amount of salt in the world’s oceans, etc. For an extensive...
Read MorePetrified Forests – One Giant Flood or Many Ancient Forests?
Are Yellowstone’s Petrified Forests all due to one great flood or did they slowly form as multiple forests over thousands of years? “Because he believed the biblical framework, geologist Dr John Morris predicted in 1975 that trees in different layers of the Yellowstone formations would have matching patterns, rather than completely different ones.6 Years later, Dr Michael Arct analyzed cross-sections of 14 trees in different levels spanning seven meters (23 feet). He...
Read MoreHow do we best interpret ancient human archaeology?
Here is a great article showing the difficulty and assumptions necessary of dating stone age man. Use this as a reference for best interpreting human history. It shows evidence of how different “stages” of human innovation that has supposed occurred over tens or hundreds of thousands of years could be understood better as actually contemporaneous groups of dispersing people within only a few thousand years till now since the flood. In fact, the article gives evidence...
Read MoreI Love This! Simple, Small Evidences but Very Clear Evidences for the Age of the Earth!
I was reading a book recently claiming that the Grand Canyon shows evidence of an Ancient Earth – billions of years old. The book used many of these arguments, but did not get into the details like this article does: https://answersingenesis.org/geology/grand-canyon/coconino-sandstone-most-powerful-argument-against-flood/ Print this and share it on to your friends who may be skeptical of Young Earth...
