Does Biblical Inerrancy Necessitate Believing in a Young Earth?

Well, Dr. Terry Mortenson, one of our speakers and researchers, recently headed to South Carolina for an apologetics conference organized by Southern Evangelical Seminary. While there, Dr. Mortenson spoke at a breakout session and also participated in a debate with an old-earth creationist, Hugh Ross.

The debate topic: Does Belief in Inerrancy Necessitate a Particular View of the Age of the Earth?

Dr. Mortenson did an excellent job defending the position that, yes, to be faithful to the doctrine of biblical inerrancy and the text of Scripture itself, you must believe in a young earth and a literal Genesis. I encourage you to watch this debate and share it with others, especially those who are unsure what to believe about Genesis or have compromised with the world’s ideas.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
Ken
