Secular scientists want nothing to do with the Biblical account of Creation; for them, the best they’ve come up with here of late is here and there admitting that “intelligent design” may be at work. However, they still hold to the absolute fallacy of evolution like a piece of sunken ship and that the earth is millions and the universe billions of years old.
If that were true, the planets in our Solar System would have flung from their orbits, long frozen and dead along with Earth in the absence of the sun from having gone supernova. Galaxies that old would have vastly degraded structure, some swallowed by their own central black holes, our Milky Way included.
Holding to the Biblical account of Creation—Almighty God being that Creator, creation research scientists have calculated, as well as some secular scientists, that the Earth is likely 6,000 to 7,000 years old, and according to the Word as told in the Book of Revelation will exist an additional 1,000 years before God destroys it with fire and creates a new Heaven and Earth.
Our universe, our galaxy, our Earth, the Solar System, the stars of the heavens and all other space-related phenomena “declare His Glory.”
Holding to the Word of God, entering into evidence a “fossilized modern human finger” found at the Al Wusta excavation site, the bone structure would be only several thousand years old, possibly younger with testing.
I always liked the Biblical, “Let us take this matter UNORGANIZED...” (my emphasis) because it allowed for a lot of speculation and un/educated guesses as to the actual age of mankind.
Yes, I believe in Adam and Eve. And no, I’m not here to debate the facts with anyone because I feel that in due time, the Truth will be known to all Mankind. ;o]
I’m a big fan of Behe’s book on irreducible complexity.
Trying to connect natural selection with astronomy was incomprehensible nonsense.
The galaxies declare that, at the speed of light, the stars have been shining for much longer than 7000 years.
The age of the fossil is already estimated with sufficient accuracy, but if radiometric (not radiocarbon, another type) testing is done, the age estimate can be refined, and it won’t come out to several thousand years old.
By contrast, due to the salinity of the water, the age of the Dead Sea can’t be 100s of 1000s of years.
