Age of the Earth 2020
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?
Grand Canyon Tonto Group: Replies to Dr. Snelling’s Response
Dr. Andrew Snelling has published a series of articles on the deposition and folding of the Tonto Group in the Grand Canyon, Cambrian in age. He interprets them to have been deposited early in Noah’s flood and folded later during it. He responded to our critique and here we reply.

Key physical constants are not just fine-tuned to allow galaxies and planets, but life itself!

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.

Comparing Assumptions for the Age of the Earth and Deep Time
How old is the Earth? Different assumptions lead to diffent conclusions. What kind of assumptions are needed? Download a pdf file here. We all know how dangerous bad assumptions can be. I remember assuming that another car would stop at a stoplight and finding out…
Bent Rock Layers and Deep Time
Sedimentary rocks are often “bent” (folded). If they were hard rocks at the time of the folding, then that folding must have happened over millions of years. If they were soft sediments at the time of deformation, then it could have happened more quickly. Which do the rocks tell us occurred?

The order rocks were laid down in:
Young Earth Creation;
Geologic Periods (Old Earth and Young Earth);
Scaled by Geologic time
- 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
