Formed From the Ages: A Theological Case for a Young Earth Crafted from Ancient Creation Materials:

The longstanding debate regarding the age of the Earth has generated tension between scriptural interpretation and scientific observation. This essay proposes a theological framework in which both can coexist without compromise. Scripture affirms instantaneous divine creation by command, yet describes Earth’s primordial state as “without form and void,” suggesting the presence of unstructured material prior to the six days of ordering. This essay argues that God may have fashioned the Earth in six literal days using ancient pre-existing cosmic matter — creating a young world from materials of great antiquity. This view preserves the integrity of the Genesis account, affirms God’s creative sovereignty, and offers a coherent explanation for Earth’s apparent geological age.
