Diamonds—Are They Really That Old?


Listen Later

Diamonds are often said to be billions of years old—older than the dinosaurs and forged in the deep past. But recent discoveries challenge that timeline in striking ways. What does it mean when fresh, unfossilized wood is found entombed deep inside diamond-bearing rock? Why does it still contain cellulose, able to burn like any ordinary log?

Even more puzzling: Carbon-14 has been detected in diamonds themselves, something that should be impossible if they were truly ancient. And if we can make diamonds in a lab in mere hours, why insist that nature takes eons? These findings point to a much younger age—one that fits the biblical timeframe.
