How Old Is The Earth? – Ron Payne

How Old is The Earth?

Description: How old is the earth? Is it 4.8 billion years as evolutionary geology teaches or just thousands of years ago as the Bible teaches? The issues around this debate is likely the biggest issue that separates a Christian Worldview from a secular Worldview and unfortunately also between Christians. It is a fundamental issue of AUTHORITY: Man or God? We will discuss the fundamental flaws in the evolutionary processes of radiometric age dating, the assumptions being made, numerous examples of inconsistent results and many evidences of catastrophic geological events that demonstrate “It doesn’t Take Millions of Years”. We will learn about “Critical Thinking” applied to this subject.
