The Age of the Earth

[Season 2, Episode 5]

How old is the earth? When was it created? Is our planet thousands of years old, or is it millions, or even billions of years old?

When considering these questions, many Christians are aware that science seems to say one thing, and the Bible seems to say another.

As discussed on previous episodes, it can now be demonstrated that ancient biblical history is accurate, real history. Major events like the Exodus and the Flood (and much more) can be placed on the timeline of history because they happened in the real world. The key is correct biblical chronology.

This corrected biblical chronology leads us to a Creation date of 5176 B.C. But yet, science seems to show that we are living on an earth that is much, much older than 7,000+ years.

Before we venture off into the question of "millions of years," in this podcast we address the question most closely at hand from a chronological standpoint. Is there evidence for the existence of people groups/civilizations before the time of Adam? If so, how are Christians supposed to properly handle such evidence?

As we begin to explore a unique answer to this question, a surprising answer to the looming question of millions (or even billions) of years also begins to come into focus.

On this episode we also discuss:

-Research Update: Understanding the Pillar of Cloud

-Helen's View: Eulogy for Dr. Aardsma's mother, Margaret Anne Aardsma
