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?

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?
Anomalously Occurring Fossils
Geologists claim that rock formations contain a consistent recognizable record of life on earth in the form of fossils. Some claim that this geologic interpretation is invalidated by fossils found throughout the record in the wrong places. Is that true?
Tidal Clocks and Flood Geology
Tides, both today and in ancient times left distinguishing characteristics that are recognizable. Some of these also help us to measure how long it took for them to be deposited. The time periods demonstrated just don’t fit the flood geology interpretation that rocks were deposited very quickly during Noah’s flood.
Answers for Young Earth Claims
Young Earth Creationists (YEC) claim that the earth is 5-10,000 years old and that most of the Earth’s rock record formed in Noah’s flood. They claim that scientific data supports this conclusion. Is there positive evidence that the earth is young?? The video here...
Gypsum deposits in New Mexico and West Texas
Gypsum and anhydrite have been deposited in New Mexico and Texas as thick banded beds. How did they get there? They did not form in Noah’s flood. Gypsum lakes forming today show how the ancient deposits were formed.
- 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
