Transcript
This week we’re looking at five creation basics that come from the Bible. The first one is the age of the earth. Now, the Bible doesn’t give us an exact age for the earth, but it does give us the information we need to calculate an age of the earth.
You see, Genesis tells us God created in six literal days. Then it goes on to list detailed chronologies from Adam to Abraham. When you add up those dates you get two thousand years plus six days. We know there’s been two thousand years from Abraham to Christ and then two thousand years from Christ to us. That’s just six thousand years, the age of creation given by our Creator.
