How old is the earth? I’ve been defending the truth and authority of God’s Word for over 50 years now. And because of my position on biblical authority—that God’s Word, not man’s ideas, is the foundation for our thinking—I’m a young-earth creationist. So how do we answer old-earth arguments?
I’ve been answering those arguments biblically and scientifically for decades, and you can find answers in this one-hour lecture I gave recently that was uploaded to our YouTube channel:
The biggest problem is that it undermines the authority of Scripture, making man the authority, not God and his Word.
Yes, there are huge problems with taking man’s ideas and adding them into Scripture. But ultimately the biggest problem is that it undermines the authority of Scripture, making man the authority, not God and his Word. And that compromise leads to more compromise in subsequent generations.
Let’s start with God’s Word in all areas, from the very first verse.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
