Reasons For a Young Earth
Description: Many of the world’s leading scientists believe that the world is billions of years old. Dr. Fernandes shows that this contradicts the clear teaching of the Bible. Christian leaders throughout the history of the church have literally interpreted the first eleven chapters of Genesis. It has only been since the rise of enlightenment rationalism and Darwinian evolution that Christian preachers and professors have reinterpreted the Bible to try to make it teach an old earth and a local flood. Dr. Fernandes argues that we should not change the clear meaning of the biblical text due to the changing theories of fallible people.
Speaker: Dr. Phil Fernandes is the senior pastor of Trinity Bible Fellowship and the president of the Institute of Biblical Defense. Fernandes founded the Institute of Biblical Defense in 1990 to help train Christians in their defense of the faith. He also teaches Bible, philosophy, and world religions at Crosspoint Academy and the Gateway School of Ministry in Bremerton, WA. He has completed doctoral work in both philosophy of religion (Greenwich University) and theological studies (Columbia Evangelical Seminary). He has authored several books dealing with the defense of the Christian faith. Many lectures/debates/sermons are available on his website.
