Evidence 6 of a Young Earth

Note: This blog is titled The History of God in America. However, I’m going to deviate from that subject to post several articles supporting a young earth.

Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the sixth of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Evidence 6 Geology: Tightly Folded Rock Strata

When solid rock is bent, it normally cracks and breaks. Rock can only bend without fracturing when it is softened by extreme heating (which causes re-crystalization) or when the sediments have not yet fully hardened.

There are numerous locations around the world (including the famous Grand Canyon) where we observe massive sections of strata that have been tightly folded, without evidence of the sediments being heated.

This is a major problem for evolutionists who believe these rock layers were laid down gradually over vast eons of time, forming the geologic record. However, it makes perfect sense to creationists who believe these layers were formed rapidly in the global, catastrophic Flood described in Genesis.

Evidence for Soft-Sediment Deformation

The conventional dating assigned to the lowest Pliocene, marine sandstone of the Split Mountain Formation assumes an age of several million years. The age assigned to the soft-sediment deformation is middle or late Pleistocene—within the last million years. This dating system assumes that sediments, in a state of deep burial, stayed soft and pliable for millions of years or that the hard, brittle rocks bent with virtually no breaking or cracking! The rocks, however, tell us a different story—one in which the recent global Flood laid down immense deposits of sediments in a short amount of time. Soon after, the subsequent folding of these sediments, while they were still unlithified, produced the dramatic deformation we observe today. God’s hand was in the Flood event…the rocks bear witness to this cataclysm and still speak to us today. (1)

Evidence 5 of a Young Earth

Note: This blog is titled The History of God in America. However, I’m going to deviate from that subject to post several articles supporting a young earth.

Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the fifth of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Evidence 5 Anthropology: Human Population Growth

It’s amazing what basic mathematics can show us about the age of the earth. We can calculate the years of human existence with the population doubling every 150 years (a very conservative figure) to get an estimate of what the world’s population should be after any given period of time.

A biblical age of the earth (about 6,000 years) is consistent with the numbers yielded by such a calculation. In contrast, even a conservative evolutionary age of 50,000 years comes out to a staggering, impossibly high figure of 10 to the 99th power—greater than the number of atoms in the universe!

It is believed that 2000 years ago, the population of our planet was about 300 million (1). If you continue going back in time using a doubling factor of 150 years, you come to the mathematical number of 12 people existed 5750 years ago. Of course, this doesn't take into consideration the gread flood.

Clearly, the claim that humans have inhabited the earth for tens of thousands of years is absurd!

Evidence 4 of a Young Earth

Note: This blog is titled The History of God in America. However, I’m going to deviate from that subject to post several articles supporting a young earth.

Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the fourth of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Evidence 4 Biology: Dinosaur Soft Tissue

In recent years, there have been many findings of “wondrously preserved” biological materials in supposedly ancient rock layers and fossils. One such discovery that has left evolutionists scrambling is a fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex femur with flexible connective tissue, branching blood vessels, and even intact cells!

According to evolutionists, these dinosaur tissues are more than 65 million years old, but laboratory studies have shown that there is no known way—and likely none possible—for biological material to last more than thousands of years. Could it be that evolutionists are completely wrong about how recently these dinosaurs lived?

• To learn more, see “Ostrich-Osaurus Discovery" and "The Scrambling Continues". We also recommend the article "Fossilized Biomaterials Must Be Young" by Brian Thomas of ICR.

It is not just dinosaur soft tissue, either, but the presence of detectable proteins such as collagen, hemoglobin, osteocalcin, actin, and tubulin that they must account for. These are complex molecules that continually tend to break down to simpler ones.

Not only that, but in many cases, there are fine details of the bone matrix, with microscopically intact-looking bone cells (osteocytes) showing incredible detail. And Schweitzer has even recovered fragments of the even more fragile and complex molecule, DNA. This has been extracted from the bone cells with markers indicating its source such that it is extremely likely to be dinosaur DNA.

Moreover, more recent discoveries show dinosaur soft tissue in samples that are (by their own assumptions) many millions of years older than those in Dr Schweitzer’s original 2005 discovery. As one article states: “The researchers also analyzed other fossils for the presence of soft tissue, and found it was present in about half of their samples going back to the Jurassic Period, which lasted from 145.5 million to 199.6 million years ago…”

A Huge Problem for the Evolutionary Paradigm

Believing proteins could last for tens of millions of years takes enormous faith. According to a report in the science journal The Biochemist, even if collagen were stored at 0°C, it would not be expected to last even three million years. But such is the power of the evolutionary paradigm that many choose to believe the seemingly impossible rather than accept the obvious implication, that the samples are not as old as they say.

Evidence 3 of a Young Earth

Note: This blog is titled The History of God in America. However, I’m going to deviate from that subject to post several articles supporting a young earth.

Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the third of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Evidence 3 Geology: Earth’s Decaying Magnetic Field

Like other planets, the earth has a magnetic field that is decaying quite rapidly. We are now able to measure the rate at which the magnetic energy is being depleted and develop models to explain the data. Secular scientists invented a “dynamo model” of the earth’s core to explain how the field could have lasted over such a long period of time, but this model fails to adequately explain the data for the rapid decay and the rapid reversals that it has undergone in the past. (It also cannot account for the magnetic fields of other planets, such as Neptune and Mercury.)

However, the creationist model (based on the Genesis Flood) effectively and simply explains the data in regard to the earth’s magnetic field, providing striking evidence that the earth is only thousands of years old—and not billions.

There is now evidence that reversals of the earth’s magnetic field must have taken only a matter of days or weeks within the time-frame of the year-long biblical Flood only 4,500 or so years ago.

After studing several lava flows, scientists concluded that the magnetic polarity transition recorded in the lava flow had to be made in less than two weeks, not a million years!

Evidence 2 of a Young Earth

Note: This blog is titled The History of God in America. However, I’m going to deviate from that subject to post several articles supporting a young earth.

Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the second of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Evidence 2 Astronomy: Recession of the Moon

The gravitational pull of the moon creates a “tidal bulge” on earth that causes the moon to spiral outwards very slowly. Because of this effect, the moon would have been closer to the earth in the past. Based on gravitational forces and the current rate of recession, we can calculate how much the moon has moved away over time.

If the earth is only 6,000 years old, there’s no problem, because in that time the moon would have only moved about 800 feet (250 m). But most astronomy books teach that the moon is over four billion years old, which poses a major dilemma—less than 1.5 billion years ago the moon would have been touching the earth!

Evidence 1 of a Young Earth

Note: This blog is titled The History of God in America. However, I’m going to deviate from that subject to post several articles supporting a young earth.

Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here is the first of many credible articles from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Evidence 1 Geology: Radiocarbon in Diamonds and Coal

Far from proving evolution, carbon-14 dating actually provides some of the strongest evidence for creation and a young earth. Radiocarbon (carbon-14) cannot remain naturally in substances for millions of years because it decays relatively rapidly. For this reason, it can only be used to obtain “ages” in the range of tens of thousands of years.

Scientists from the RATE (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) project examined diamonds that evolutionists consider to be 1–2 billion years old and related to the earth’s early history. Diamonds are the hardest known substance and extremely resistant to contamination through chemical exchange.

Yet the RATE scientists discovered significant detectable levels of radiocarbon in these diamonds, dating them at around 55,000 years—a far cry from the evolutionary billions!

In addition, samples were then taken from ten different coal layers that, according to evolutionists, dated millions to hundreds of millions of years old based on standard evolution time estimates, all contained measurable amounts of 14C. Samples displayed significant amounts of 14C. This is a significant discovery. Since the half-life of 14C is relatively short (5,730 years), there should be no detectable 14C left after about 100,000 years. The average 14C estimated age for all the layers from these three time periods was approximately 50,000 years. However, using a more realistic Pre-Flood 14C /12C ratio reduces that age to about 5,000 years.

Conclusion

All radiometric dating methods are based on assumptions about events that happened in the past. If the assumptions are accepted as true (as is typically done in the evolutionary dating processes), results can be biased toward a desired age. In the reported ages given in textbooks and other journals, these evolutionary assumptions have not been questioned, while results inconsistent with long ages have been censored. When the assumptions were evaluated and shown faulty, the results supported the biblical account of a global Flood and young earth. Christians should not be afraid of radiometric dating methods. Carbon-14 dating is really the friend of Christians, and it supports a young earth.

James Madison and James Monroe

(This post is the fifth of a series about Presidents and their religious views.)

* * James Madison

Although educated by Presbyterian clergymen, young Madison was an avid reader of English deist tracts.

Madison as an adult paid little attention to religious matters.

However, some scholars say he leaned toward deism.

* * James Monroe

Little is known about Monroe’s religious beliefs. No letters survived in which he discussed his religious beliefs. Nor did his friends, family or associates comment on his beliefs.

Monroe was raised in a family that belonged to the Church of England when it was the state church in Virginia before the Revolution. As an adult, he frequently attended Episcopal churches.

Monroe believed in God for he said:

"If we persevere...we can not fail, under the favor of a gracious Providence...My fervent prayers to the Almighty that He will be graciously pleased to continue to us that protection which He has already so conspicuously displayed in our favor." (1)
