II Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

What does the Bible say about age and ancient
history?
Genesis 5:1 Adam– “book” means: written official document– “generations” means: history (bear young)
Genesis 10: 1 Noah Genesis 11:10 Shem Genesis 25:12 Ishmael Genesis 37:2 Jacob Matthew 1:17 Christ
![Page 10: Is the Universe Really Billions of Years Old or Could It Be Young?](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110100/56649dfe5503460f94ae6788/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why can’t we just compromise and say that God did it in millions
of years?

Doesn’t it HAVE to be old?
It takes millions of years for…
•An Ice age to occur •Thousands of feet of layers to form•Deep canyons to be cut into rock•Fossils to form•Rocks to form•Diamonds to form•Coal to form•Wood to Petrify •Stalactites and stalagmites to form•Light to reach us from the stars

“It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is
ignorant, stupid, or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that).”
Richard Dawkins
quoted in Philip Johnson, Darwin on Trial, 1991

The redefining of science
Science means “to know”
He has defined Science as:
“Explaining all events by natural causes.”
In other words “Without God”
(This is the philosophy of Naturalism)

The redefining of science
Let’s not narrow science by
looking at the world without God…
Science means to know

Doesn’t radioactive dating prove that the rocks are billions of years old?
Nope – Three Assumptions make it impossible to prove those dates
Nope – The Flood changed the CarbonCycle and makes all dates before it invalid.
There are major contradictions betweendifferent dating methods of the same rock.

Meteorites in Rock Layers
Meteorites are falling regularly now.
If rock layers took millions of years to form, then . . .
These rock layers should have holes everywhere in them with meteorites at the bottom of the holes
However, meteorites are extremely rare in layered rock!
