The Age of the Earth
The age of the Earth is….
around 6,000 Years.
I must admit, this was one biblical fact I that had a hard time with. For my whole life I had always been told that the Earth is billions of years old and that was a scientific fact.
Keep in mind that there are two types of scientific evidence. There is scientific evidence that can be repeated, observed and studied. There is also scientific evidence that cannot be repeated nor observed. When anyone talks about the science of something that happened in the past which cannot be repeated or observed they are talking about scientific theories and NOT scientific facts.
Well, the “scientific fact” regarding the age of the Earth, which is really a scientific theory because it is not repeatable and can not be observed, has some major holes in it.
We are going to address a few of the methods used to determine the age of the Earth and the issues that they have.
• Radioactive Dating
• Tree Rings
• Ice Layers
• Dinosaur Bones
A method used to get the age of the earth to be billions of years is radioactive dating. However, there are some major issues with this method.
