To be fair, 5 years ago, I was where he is now. I have an engineering degree, and all the requisite “science” courses to go along with it. Everywhere along the way, my “education” made the assumptions of old earth and evolution, it was all that was taught, so it was all that I knew, until...
a few years ago I started studying the contradictory evidence, put on “new glasses”, and looked at the evidence cited for evolution/old earth in a new way, and saw where the errors were.
What’s happening is that those who claim to be scientists and criticize the Bible for being wrong, are working on the baseless assumption that what we know from science is right, or truth. Scripture is being held up to and compared to and judged by very weak standard, one that is constantly in a state of flux.
Our knowledge of the universe is woefully lacking in so many ways. the more we learn, the more unanswered questions arise and the more we realize we don’t know.
To presume that we have the correct answer based on incomplete and faulty knowledge is the height of arrogance.
