Why do biblical creationists insist
Why do biblical creationists insist that the earth is ‘young’? Hasn't science proven that it is millions/billions of years old?
Where does the ‘6,000 years old’ figure come from, anyway—and is the methodology used to get that figure defensible? What did the church fathers believe? And for Christians, isn’t this whole topic just a massive distraction from the ‘real’ issues of the Gospel?
Join Dr Mark Harwood for an engaging discussion in which he responds to some of the challenges skeptics have posed following his previous, highly popular, video on the age of the earth (Why the Earth Can’t be Old!).
⏳ TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Teaser
00:40 Introduction: Why believe that the earth can’t be old?
01:38 Why ‘historical science’ is different from ‘experimental science’
04:05 Historical science is subject to the investigator's preconceptions about history
05:09 In matters of history, the historical method trumps the scientific method
07:17 The myth of neutrality: Even scientists have presuppositions
08:52 Uniformitarianism: Is ‘the present the key to the past’?
10:19 How does the Bible give 6,000 years?
11:45 Challenge: “You can't use the Bible’s chronogenealogies—they use rounding”
14:07 Challenge: “The early church fathers didn’t believe the earth was young”
14:52 Challenge: “The age of the earth doesn't matter; it’s a distracting side issue for Christians"
16:04 → An old earth undercuts the logical consistency of the Gospel
19:42 → An old earth undercuts the character of God
20:12 → An old earth undercuts the inerrancy of Scripture
21:11 → An old earth undercuts the Bible’s explanation for death and suffering
25:02 → Summary: It does matter!
26:14 Challenge: "Geology proves millions of years, via sedimentary layers and radiometric dating"
26:49 → Sedimentary layers are not consistent with ‘millions of years’ conclusions
28:43 → Fossils in sedimentary rock show the layers were laid down rapidly
29:43 → Millions of years can't be found between the sedimentary layers, either
31:17 → Summary: There’s no ‘millions of years’ in the rocks at all!
32:22 → Case study: Rapid sedimentation at Mount St Helens
33:41 → Case study: Radiometric dating at Mount St Helens
37:01 → Radiometric dating does not (and cannot!) provide ‘absolute dates’
38:51 Challenge: “Population growth estimates don’t support biblical creation”
42:52 Challenge: “Soft tissue in dino bones is satisfactorily explained by the presence of iron”
44:55 → How long can DNA be preserved?
47:10 Challenge: “Carbon-14 in dinosaur bones is not a problem for millions of years”
49:03 Conclusion: The biblical account makes so much more sense of real-world observations!
