Earth Can’t be Old — Answering the Critics


Listen Later

Why do biblical creationists insist that the earth is ‘young’? Hasn't science proven that it is millions/billions of years old?

Where does the ‘6,000 years old’ figure come from, anyway—and is the methodology used to get that figure defensible? What did the church fathers believe? And for Christians, isn’t this whole topic just a massive distraction from the ‘real’ issues of the Gospel?

Join Dr Mark Harwood for an engaging discussion in which he responds to some of the challenges skeptics have posed following his previous, highly popular, podcast on the age of the earth.
