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

A Christian Geologist Looks for Answers
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.

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.

Oil Gushers over Deep Time
Figure 1. When a well is drilled into a hydrocarbon reservoir, the pressured reservoirs will release by carrying oil and gas to the surface. This is analogous to the dissolved carbon dioxide that is released when a shaken soda can is opened. Modern oil and gas wells...

- 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
