  1. The age of the earth 2/23/2013 Wesley YAY Fellowship

  2. Ice-Breaker: How old is the earth? The age of the earth

  3. For 18 centuries mankind believe God created the world in six literal days • The earth is around 6,000 years old • 200 years ago, atheistic scientists developed new theories of earth history The age of the earth

  4. Christian Leaders try to fit millions of years into the Bible: • Day-age view (the day in the six day creation is much longer than just a day!) • Gap Theory (millions of year between V1 and V2) • Local Flood view • Framework hypothesis (Ge 1 is symbolic) • Theistic evolution (God use Evolution to create humans & other creatures) • Progressive creation The age of the earth

  5. Is this important? • Why Satan bothered? The age of the earth

  6. Let’s Genesis 5 The age of the earth

  7. Adam (born on the 6th day of Creation) 130 Seth 105 Enosh 90 Kenan D. 930 70 Mahalalel D. 912 65 Jared D. 905 162 Enoch 65 Methuselah D. 910 D. 895 187 Lamech 365 D. 962 182 Noah Sham, Ham, Japheth 500 D. 969 D. 777 600 The Flood

  8. From the birth of Adam to The Flood: • 130+105+90+70+65+162+65+187+182+500+100 = 1656 The age of the earth

  9.

The age of the earth

  10. 7 Reasons why we should not accept millions of years! By Dr. Terry Mortenson The age of the earth

  11. The Bible clearly teaches that God created in six literal, 24-hour days a few thousand years ago.

  12. Exodus 20:11 blocks all attempts to fit millions of years into Genesis 1. Exodus 20:11 (NIV) 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Hebrew: Yom All Scripture is Inspired by God 2 Timothy 3:16

  16. Jesus was a young-earth creationist! • Matt 15:1-9 (Jesus affirmed the authority of Scripture over men’s ideas and traditions.) • Mark 10:6 • 6“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’[a] • (clearly rebuke all those theories!) The age of the earth

  17. Belief in millions of years undermines the Bible’s teaching on death and on the character of God. Kathy Svitil, in Killer Cancer in the Cretaceous written Nov 03,2003 said this Gorgosaurs lived 72 million years ago. A matrix of bone within this dinosaur's brain tumor allowed it to fossilize along with the rest of the animal's skeleton. Gorgosaurs were smaller and quicker than their kin the T. rex. This young female, however, was crippled and likely killed in her prime by a rare brain tumor.

  18. The idea of millions of years did not come from the scientific facts. Atheistic Assumptions Biblical Assumptions Facts Rocks & Fossils Young Earth & Global Flood Old Earth Interpretations

  19. Radiometric dating methods do not prove millions of years. • What is Carbon-dating? The determination of the age of an organic object from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 in it. • This technique was developed in the early 20th century • It’s been proven to be unreliable by RATE researchers The age of the earth

  20. Young Radiocarbon Date for Ancient Fossil Wood Challenges Fossil Dating • by Andrew Snelling March 1, 2000 • Concluded that the fossil wood and its 14C analyses cast grave doubts upon the index fossil ‘dating’ method and its uniformitarian and evolutionary presuppositions. • On the other hand, these results are totally consistent with the details of the recent global Genesis Flood, as recorded in the Creator’s Word — the Bible. The age of the earth
