Faith of the Fathers

How Old Is the Earth? Scripture, Church Fathers, and Scientific Evidence


Listen Later

How old is the earth? Is it billions of years old, or does Scripture, history, and observable science point to a much younger age?

In this episode of Faith of the Fathers, we explore the age of the earth from a Young Earth Creation (YEC) perspective:

📖 Biblical Genealogies — Trace the timeline from Adam to Noah, Noah to Moses, and Moses to Jesus. Scripture provides a measurable history pointing to a roughly 6,000-year-old earth.

✝️ Church Fathers — Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Theophilus of Antioch, and Hippolytus all affirmed a young creation, showing the historic church consistently held this view.

🔬 Scientific Evidence — Tree rings, topsoil accumulation, radiocarbon in fossils, and other observations from creation science (including Henry Morris’ work) align with a young earth model.

This episode shows that faith and science do not conflict when interpreted biblically. The earth is God’s creation, recent and fully under His sovereign design.

📖 Where Scripture matters, and history is the Lord’s.
