Not so Irrefutable Evidences of a Young Earth
Young Earth Creationists (YEC) have made many lists of what are advertised as top reasons to believe in a young Earth from science. Sometimes it’s a “top ten” list. Sometimes it’s like the top 40 or the top 100. Many of the lists have many of the same examples....
The Salty Sea and Deep Time
Are there “incontrovertible” reasons to affirm a young Earth? What does it mean to be incontrovertible? Some YEC seem to believe that this means that it is claimed by any YEC author that they appreciate. It is easy to list claims that might sound impressive. What happens if we dig into those claims? Can they stand up to analysis?

A TEXAS-SIZED CHALLENGE to YOUNG EARTH CREATION and FLOOD GEOLOGY:
A Christian Geologist Looks for Answers
- 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
