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...
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...
Read MoreEvidence for Young Ages!!
“A team of researchers gave a presentation at the 2012 Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting in Singapore, August 13–17 [2012], at which they gave 14C dating results from many bone samples from eight dinosaur specimens. All gave dates ranging from 22,000 to 39,000 years, right in the ‘ballpark’ predicted by creationists.1 But if dinosaurs really were millions of years old, there should not be one atom of 14C left in them.” https://creation.com/c14-dinos See the...
Read MorePopulation Problems for Billions of Years!
If humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, we should see more evidence of more graves, and the population should be much greater than 7 billion people. Evolutionists have to assume an exorbitant amount of disease and war to keep populations down until the last few thousand years. Read more about this here:...
Read MoreDoes the Bible Hint at Long Ages?
I recently came across a very well-known Christian apologist and he shared how he did not feel that the Bible teaches young-earth Creationism, but rather, he said that he believes that there are good hints within the Bible to show an old age. This is a great resource regarding the age of the earth: Does the Age of the Earth Matter to the Gospel? – Part 1 He further suggested that Young Earth Creationists do not fully understand the best evidences...
Read MoreOriginal Sin – Truth from Genesis
Put so clearly: “We might think chapter 2 of Genesis teaches that “God formed the man of dust from the ground,” and Eve from Adam—but if they were the product of evolution, then early Genesis becomes a myth, and everyone who assumed the history to be true (including Jesus and Paul) were naive. Original sin becomes a theoretical construct rather than harsh reality, so why do we desperately need Christ?” Read more here:...
Read MoreDeath within History…
The following is an excerpt from an article describing a radio show regarding the age of the Earth. What do you think about the question asked and the response in this article? “the caller proceeded with his main question: “ … knowing the world as we see today, if extrapolating back millions of years, we have millions of years of death (as the engine of evolution), suffering, cancers, parasites and diseases. How is all that equated for if the Fall is responsible for...
