Whose word are we going to trust, God’s or men? Are we going to stand on the authority of God’s word who was there, or men, who were not?
• How do many scientists determine the age of the Earth? The age of the earth is primarily derived from two dating techniques: radiometric dating and the geologic timescale. Scientists who advocate the younger age of about 6000 years insist that radiometric dating is flawed in that it is founded upon a series of faulty assumptions, while the geologic timescale is flawed in that it employs circular reasoning. In addition they point to the debunking of old-earth myths, like the popular misconception that it takes long periods of time for stratification, fossilization and the formation of diamonds, coal, oil, stalactites, stalagmites, etc., to occur.

Can we determine the age of the earth, and if so, how? Scientists generally agree that the answer to the riddle of the age of the earth is carefully concealed within the earth's crust. Thus, the geologic timescale and radiometric dating have been developed in an effort to determine the age of the earth. The older of the two dating methods, the geologic timescale, is actually a circular argument and is therefore considered by many scholars to be weak. Basically, this is how the geologic column works: earth's many rock layers contain billions of fossils. Certain fossils are unique to certain layers of rock. Some of these fossils have been chosen to be what are called “index fossils”. Scientists assume the age of an index fossil by the stage of evolutionary history the fossil is assumed to be in. That age is then transferred to the rock layer in which the index fossil was found. Then, to determine the age of all the other fossils in the same rock layer, we look at the age of the rock layer in which they are contained. Thus, we determine the age of the rock by the fossils it contains, and we determine the age of the fossils by the rock in which they are found. Wouldn’t this be an example of circular reasoning?

• Is there evidence for a young Earth? (Those asking this question usually mean “outside the Bible.” And the answer is yes. But let those who call themselves “Bible-believing” not be so quick to dismiss the authority of God and His word.) In the video below Dr. Jason Lisle presents 10 evidences. He does not list the Moon’s Recession, which is covered in the article by Thomas G. Barnes.
