Mt. St. Helens is very exciting for creation scientists because it demonstrates that much geological work can be done in a very short amount of time.
Age of the Earth
Biblical Age of the Earth
Scripture presents enough chronological information to estimate the number of years between Adam and Christ. Adding these and other pieces brackets an age for the world of around 6,000 years. More...
Scientific Evidence for Recent Creation
Many different measurable processes—from blue stars, Saturn’s heat, and Earth’s magnetic field to radiocarbon in coal, diamond, and fossils—confirm a biblical age of the universe of thousands, not billions, of years. More...
Reasons to Doubt Secular Ages
Secular scientists constantly reiterate that science proves millions and billions of years. But those who make this assertion either ignore or have never heard contrary evidence or the faulty assumptions behind it. More...
Circular Reasoning Behind Secular Ages
Secular scientists constantly publish reports claiming their finds support an earth that is millions or billions of years old, but few people realize that many of their conclusions are based on circular reasoning. More...
