Age of the Earth
What does the Bible tell us?
You won’t find anywhere in the Bible where it tells us that the earth was created in 4004 BC or 4.59 billion years ago or any other age. What does it show?
What does nature tell us?
If nature is God’s creation, that should tell us about the creator. It is not created to deceive. What does it tell us about the age of the earth?
Habitable Exoplanets?
Another limitation on the habitability of exoplanets makes it less likely life exists out there

Creation: Day-by-Day
Is it possible to correlate the periods of creation in Genesis with the scientific studies of recent years.
A Mind behind the Universe and a Deck of Cards
If a deck of cards is dealt out, can you tell if the cards were shuffled and arranged by random processes or if the distribution was rigged? If so, would this same logic work in nature? In both cases, it is important to be careful what conclusions you draw.
Recent Views of Adam and Eve
Who were Adam and Eve? When did they live?
A Baker’s Dozen Indicators from the Bible for an Old Earth
13 indications showing that scripture does not conflict with scientific data that show the Earth is billions of years old
Genesis by Stephen Mitchell
Wondering through a bookstore some years back, I ran across a book that interested me, especially because I had apparently written it. You would think that I would have known! As the image shows, it is a translation of Genesis by Stephen Mitchell. I had to buy it,...
Surveying views on how God acted in Creation
When God created the heavens and the earth, and populated that with life, what do you think that looked like? Did He use evolution? I asked a diverse group of Christians…
Creation: Days 5 to 7
How does science compare to the Genesis 1 creation periods? With the previous post, we find that all events are real and in order. (Photo of Earth and Moon from Mercury, NASA)
Creation: Days 1 to 4
Is it possible to relate the events of Genesis 1 to modern scientific thought? Let’s look at the 1st four days.
What?! “Human brains preserved in diverse environments for at least 12 000 years”
It has been said that the most complex thing that we know about in the universe is the human brain. The common scientific consensus has been that these are not preserved for long and that ancient examples are really rare. It seems that this is not actually the...

A TEXAS-SIZED CHALLENGE to YOUNG EARTH CREATION and FLOOD GEOLOGY:
A Christian Geologist Looks for Answers
Dinosaurs and Noah’s Flood
The first two parts of this series showed discoveries of dinosaur egg clutches and dinosaur tracks that were not formed during a global catastrophic flood as YEC have proposed. Scientists were surprised by the discovery of fragments of soft tissue in dinosaur bones...
Dinosaurs and Noah’s Flood, Part 2
Part 2 of 3 videos: Here I will show more problems that dinosaur fossils provide for flood geology. Part 1 looked at the models for time presented by YEC flood geologist vs standard views and how dinosaur egg clutches challenge the YEC views. In Part 2 will look at...
Dinosaurs and Noah’s Flood
Dinosaur fossils are perhaps the best-known fossils of all. The magnificent creatures are known from fossils that are found in only part of the rock record found on earth. None of the oldest rocks, the Precambrian and the Paleozoic rocks have dinosaur fossils. They...
Appendix: Radiometric Dating
This is an appendix that I originally put in my book, “A Texas-Sized Challenge to Young Earth Creation and Flood Geology”. It is not a technical explanation or description but hopefully helps to explain some of how this impacts age of the earth discussions.
Should Young Earth Creation be promoted? An analogy from Oil Exploration
Science has demonstrated that the universe is much older than 10,000 years old. Christians who ignore this data are like a geologist trying to get someone to drill an oil prospect that has already been tested and found a failure.
Paleosols in a Global flood?
Modern soils can take hundreds of years to develop. Are there ancient soils in the record of Earth’s history found in the rocks? If there are, does that fit within Young Earth Creationist’s flood models?
- Young Earth Stratigraphic Column
- Geologic Stratigraphic Column - Unscaled
- Geologic Stratigraphic Column - Scaled
Most Young Earth Creationists view the history of the earth in terms of the ages represented here. It is scaled here to the common 6000 year history, though there are other variations.
Here stratigraphic ages and hence strata area all of the same thickness, regardless of how long they lasted
