For all you hard-core "Science" people they said petrified trees were millions of years old. When Mt. St Helen exploded it petrified trees in mere years. Also a man sent samples of 1 these trees to be measured by radiometric dating which came up with the age of these trees to be a 100,000 years to millions of years old.. The trees were not older than 10 years.
You do realize that one example of innacurrate radiometric dating doesn't mean that all radiometric dating is innacurrate right? Also I love how creationists despise radiometric dating saying how innacurrate it is but when it supports their world view they accept its accuracy without question.
@jamesonbolen9058 They found a pair of cowboy boots from the 1800s and they were petrified. How did that happen? Lol! I was raised Catholic, and as we read the Bible in catechism, we were told that the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden was just a story and wasn't really true. It was just a parable so to speak which confused me. Then I started learning evolution in school and I thought it was fascinating because my little mind was science oriented. I still am very science oriented but not like before, I am interested in the science of the Bible, his creation, and the truth of God. And with the evidence so striking throughout the world, regarding the flood and fossils there is no doubt to me!!! I thank God for revealing this to me during my life! God's accomplishment, not man's achievements!
The man you mention was Dr. Steven Austin. Dr. Austin's conclusion was that radiometric dating is uselessly unreliable. Critics found that Dr. Austin chose a dating technique that is inappropriate for the sample tested, and charged that he deliberately used the wrong experiment in order to promote the idea that science fails to show that the Earth is older than the Bible claims.
They revisited this topic about a year later. You can see that second interview here: Earth Can't Be Old! - Answering the Critics - ruclips.net/video/PFUxKgPbeDw/видео.html
I knew God before it was taught to me. Then i got into science then dream of space exploration. Got angry with god. Blamed him for my unhappy life. Now that i came back to God. I felt happy. And realize that my unhappiness was. Because my faith weakened. And i realize that God wants my happiness and only evil causes suffering.
I love this! I hrew up sooo sheltered by my mom. Sadly, she didn’t offer apologetics as she didn’t have the resources. I went to school and heard "billions" of years and evolution, I just didn’t believe it. When I found out what a theory was and evolution, big bang were all theories, I thought there you go, they don't really know. Oh how satisfying it was to listen to my first creationist! And this video is just as delightful! Will sit down with my grandchildren and Genesis and add up the years of the Earth!
God bless you man. Dk what their problem is or who handed that person the mic to speak on it and market as a theory. But clearly the biased views came from area deeper than human existence.
This gave me a similar Biblical revelation and now understand this quote so much more. (The "natural man" is a man who only thinks of the world as a person would without God like a scientist would and try to explain a way of creation without God because the supernatural is foolishness to him!) 1st Corinthians 2:14 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Didn't watch this video, but what is kinda baffling is the fact that these religions are all a scam. Ultimately a creator is not out of the equation... or we have the potential to become the "gods" ourselves. That is the craziest part. Honestly the word is "atheist" is say to broad. I used to belief I'm an atheist. But I rather call myself a cosmic rationalist. That said, all your holy books are still a bunch of nonsense lol
You have to study the bible in ancient hebrew and greek. the so called "translations" into the tongues of the nations replace the scripture with a different text. the text in 1corinthians 2:14 says "the soul man". The soul man is the first man adam who was made a living soul, the one through whom death entered the world, the one who has the power of death, called the devil. Whoever desires to save his soul will destroy himself, but he who destroys his soul because of me will find himself. The good news is covered for those who are destroyed, whose unfaithful minds have been blinded by the God of this world. Beware of false prophets, they come to you in sheep clothes but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
@@criztuyou say that it does. Please show and identify the source of the Greek text and lexical definitions. I would translate it as, “But, [the] natural soul [of] man…”. It’s not saying “the soul man”. Thus, it’s not referring specifically back to Adam and is a general overall statement of mankind’s natural spiritual condition.
If you remember one thing from this conversation for me it is this....Don't park your brains outside the church......So it is really saying...If God gave you the brain and expected you to use it before you became aware of Him doesn't He expect you to continue to use it even more after you recognise Him in His fullness.

I came to grips with this argument years ago when I realized that the Pentateuch was Jesus’ bible. If he was truly who he said he was, then he would have clarified any errors. He never sat the disciples down and said that the creation story wasn’t really six days, but several thousand, or millions of years. What many Christians tend to overlook is that His resurrection is what affirms a literal interpretation of scripture.
The writers of the gospels thought the Earth was a Flat Disk, covered by a solid plate (FIRMAMENTUM in the Vulgate or Rakia in the Hebrew) immersed in the infinite waters of Chaos. Exactly like the Babylonian and Egyptian creation stories say.. Yeah, the inerrant book screwed that one up. Too bad you are too full of pride, the sin of satan, to look into the real meaning of Christianity.
The literal creation story also tells us that the sabbath of the Lord is not Sunday, but the seventh day, which is the true Sabbath starting from Friday evening at sunset to Saturday sunset. But how sad that many Christians neglect researching the matter of the fourth commandment. They discard it and make all kinds of excuses that are not biblical.
@@beatricepineda5923 If you search you find that the Chabad, has nothing to do with Saturn's day or your god. Like the 7 day week, It comes from the Babylonians. The people of Mesopotamia feared the God Enlil would try to kill humanity again by sending a great flood as he had when humanity had become to numerous and noisy. Noah is just the Jewish version of Athrahasis of Akkadia who built an ark and saved life. A thousand years later the myth was copied by the Babylonians as Unapishtin who was used by the Jews for the Noah myth. Orthodox and conservative Jews to this day have a list of prohibited activities. It is not a day of "rest" and worship. It was a day of prohibited activities. The Apostolic Catholic Church made Sun day Dominĭcus, the 1st day of the week, a day of Mass obligation because it marks the day of the resurrection.
This discussion is a whole game changer for the scientific community, where people's beliefs are base on observable test. Mind blowing! Would love to see discussion like this together with Dr. John Lennox with Dr. Mark.
Perhaps. And I would love to see Dr. James Tour weigh in on these things. There is so much evidence which points to a very ancient Earth and even more ancient universe. This is wisdom: God created the Truth of Scripture, AND He created the Truth of Nature. Truth cannot contradict Truth. When there seems to be a difference, it comes from a *_misinterpretation_* of scripture, nature or BOTH. 😎♥✝🇺🇸💯
@@joels5970 Not all science is based on observation as this video points out, an easy place to start, how do you observe millions or billions of years without inference(the opposite of observation)
The flaw is: What do you mean by "age of a rock". If you take lava which is melted and resolidified rock, why do you take the moment of solidification as t= zero ?
Exactly. If rocks had an age,they should all be exactly the same age. Sedimentary rock isn't real rock just because it got hard. It's the lack of our language that we even call many types of matter by group names. Our labelling something is not a statement of anything factual. God brought all the animals to Adam to see what he would call them. And we have been naming sh!t ever since, and thinking that by naming something, we have somehow understood and defined it. We delude ourselves with our pattern seeking brains.
There is no flaw. If you date a piece of lava at 100 mln years, it is never younger, maybe its components are even older, but then the whole young earth story still falls apart.
@@johnglad5 The men you speak of were ignorant of everything around them, couldn't read or write and probably died at 30 of something they couldn't see. Everything was all handed down by word of mouth and written down a hundred years later by some other ignoramus who wasn't there. We have scientists now who can actually read and write and know how to use radiometric dating, so we know how old the earth is. I'll go with that.
If the moment of solidification is not taken as t=0, you in turn have the same, if not a bigger problem with the same dating methods he's criticizing. Now you have to ask, when does t=0? If it's the moment it came into existence, let's say the Big Bang, then everything would have the same date. I think he has to take the moment of solidification as t=zero, since that's probably what the sciences say. At least for extrusive igenous rocks, and upon searching this, it appears that is when that rock is considered "born".
I don't need to be a scientist to know this world was created. All I have to do is look at one beautiful creature and I know that didn't happen by random chance.
The fact you say random chance means you really have no clue. It's called selection pressures. Selection focuses on alleles that work for the given ecosystems.
There's so much beauty around us, true. But why would God need to create 400,000 different species of Beetles? Better question: did God create beautiful creatures in other planets?
Not trying to be on the opposition of anything, just genuinely curious. But, if the earth isn’t old then I’m gonna assume that means that the earth’s mountains wasn’t much different than they are now when they was created. I live in southern Appalachia, I’ve always been told and read that the Appalachians are the oldest mountain range in the world, and when they were formed they were even taller than the Himalayas (the youngest mountain range). I’m assuming also that a young earth belief doesn’t include Pangea, or any kind of continents breaking apart and moving along the mantle until they eventually came to where they are today after many different shifts, collisions, splits, etc over millions of years. But, if that’s the case then why do underground coal miners here in Appalachia constantly find fossils of tropical plants, not only that, but coal itself is composed of ancient plant matter that has been compressed under mountains for millions of years, hence why it’s a, “fossil fuel”. So my question is I guess, if the plates never shifted, and Appalachia was never a tropical landscape and environment then why are those fossils there, or why is there even coal there literally deep beneath mountains? Also, didn’t watch much of the video, so they may have talked about something in relation, sorry 😅.
You're "assuming" a lot. Starting with that all the processes you see in operation today never moved at any faster rate. Such as continental drift, formation of coal, etc. Might help your position if you actually watched the video before commenting.
@@mikebrines5708 a little snarky, I watched the video and kept thinking get to the point. I have a hard time agreeing with placing the age of the earth as 6k years old. It’s a theory but just that.
@@backboard13They fall in a trap that people like Kierkegaard or William James already exposed and brought light to it; the structure of faith and that of the gospels is that of secrecy or gift, it is not about logical paradigms or conceptual edifices. If there was not inconsistencies and flaws in the bible and all was just ‘absolute’ truth(ignoring the nature of linguistics/unconscious and so on) then there is no need for faith, making Christianity no different than any other cluster of ideas.
Coal can form from plant material very fast. It doesn't take millions of years. Next, think for a moment about the continents... they don't float on the ocean, they're connected by land under the water. If the continents "drifted" apart, where did all the land which connects them come from?
I think there's a lot of truth in that, but we also have to be careful. I believe humility in the search for truth is what you're talking about. Christians often want to pretend that spiritual "truth" is in conflict with logic and reason, we can't trust in ourselves to know or find the truth of God through that, so we have to use our "faith", our "heart", which can only come about by reading the Bible. Never mind that it's through reason and logic that you would come to any sort of realization that you should believe a certain thing...which is true in ANY domain of life. Many Christians don't have a clue why they believe what they believe, but they probably have a good heart... but the lack of logic and reasoning shows, exemplified in the nature of these young-earth creationists who like to quickly call "heresy" against people that want to do something basic like showing how the earth is indeed very old, and that that's OK, and even warranted, because it fits very well with the text and the physical evidence we see all around us.

Mount Saint Helens was the opening for me as it challenged my assumptions based on Charles Lyell's uniformitarian model for everything. From there I had to explore the historical nature of the Bible and it moved on from there. In 1988 or January 1993, had someone told me "you'll become a Christian, a believer in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and most importantly the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ", I would have said they were mad, an idiot. Then March 1993, that all changed with Mount Saint Helens- Evidence for Catastrophe. Later that year I put my faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.
I wasn't even a christian whenever I started seeing major flaws in the methods used for dating things and high holes in them when I studied them in college. After many many hours of studying the data and not taking the word of others for it I found that I could not trust these "experts" because they were as biased as anyone you could ever imagine. It wasn't until almost 10 years later until I found God. And after finding him I find that everything fits just fine.
There’s great information about scientific methods for geology available now openly via the internet, please try some of those rather than what some christian ministers are telling you.
This is me as well. After a while of seeing them leave out important variables or overlook clear mistakes, it started to look like a conspiracy; that thought evolved to groupthink, which evolved into the battle between good and evil. At this point science is lost; its purpose commandeered for all purposes in opposition to God. The question I have is whether God wants us fighting this fight. As difficult as it is to convince people of the truth of the Bible without scientific backing, so far I say yes.
Ummm I’m a Christian but this one’s tough to prove. We know the speed of light, so when we look at stars and the near eternity of how big space is even at that speed, we know how long it takes for light to reach us. It takes millions of years to cover this distances. How can this be disproven or just thought about? Anyone?

@@mdoerkseChristians have always believed that God created the Universe to look older than it is. We are talking about THE Almighty....Nothing is impossible.

Uniformitarianistism versus Catastrophism This is the question that needs discussion more often. Research in both theories should be compared. Anomalies that uniformitarianistism can't explain are easily explained by a recent single catastrophic global flood
I personally think the Flood was cosmic. Looking at the volcanism on Io, Mars, and Venus. Galactic jets. Galaxy collisions. Isaiah 34:4, 2 Peter 3:10, and Revelation 21:1 says the end will come by the fire of the stars falling towards the supermassive blackholes. Noah's Flood started it as a foreshadowing of what will become of our Solar System as it is vaporized to be part of the jets.
The biblical flood is nothing more than folklore storytelling. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia, and the same flood story is found in the Epic of Gilgamesh... though told slightly different, and with different characters. Many aspects of the story are impossible without a crap ton of God magic or intervention. It's a bit silly and illogical as well. Besides, YEC science can not explain the heat problem that comes with all of the shifting and radioactive decay of organic materials over such a short period of time. This is a known issue.
@@andrewc1205 God magic...? Try Amos 4:13. God is the mind that governs all things. Understanding how the painter paints doesn't negate the painter's existence.
@Hydroverse with all I mentioned, the only thing you could bring up was the god magic? Do you have a response to the bigger problems in question? The only reason I mentioned god magic is because the story about Noah's Ark is not supposed to involve any god magic or divine intervention. Otherwise, why go through all of the trouble of building an Ark and loading it with all those animals when he could just poof the evil away. Yet, for the events to take place, and for everything work out the way it portrays, there would have to be a crap ton of divine intervention (aka god magic).

30:00 The dating of rock. Lava is molton Rock, so once it has solidified from its molton state, it becomes a solid. In your statement, you said you could categorically say how old it was, but when did it become molton? It could have been in that state for tens of thousands of years. I make a block of ice from water, you know, when it became a block of ice, but how old is the water. Take a look at a very familiar rock, COAL. In my country, UK, this is usually mined from very deep pits, sometimes up to a mile deep. These coal seams are old forests and vegitation, which, over time, have become compressed over thousands of years as the earth above them gets thicker and thicker. In these coal seams, sometimes you can identify ferns and timber that have left their impressions in the coal. None of this happen within six thousand years. I do find what you have to say very interesting, but the foundation of your theories appears very weak.
But your problem with his assumption is at the very least the same, if not magnified when presented to the radio dating method's assumptions. The fact that your question even has the interrogative word "when" presents a major problem. The method in question is a method of dating something. However, according to you, and I don't necessarily think your wrong in asking, you need to know "when" a part of the process which is used by the method occurs. If your question for him is when did the rock become molten, I think the obvious question for the radio dating method would then be, when was the carbon(or whatever is being measured) added to the rocks? And how much? And how could you be sure?
The coal didn't form over a very long. It was dumped there rapidly by the Flood and was then covered rapidly by Flood born sediments and the process continued. Your belief that coal formed by old forests dying amd being covered slowly is seen nowhere in the world and is physically impossible. Think it through. And keep watching these kind of videos. Read some books. Contentious Bones by Rupe and Sandford is great. Genetic Entropy by Sandford. Enjoy.
@@oshiforb7445 There are broken tree trunks that run many meters through coal seams from top to bottom. No roots, no branches and no soil. They didn't grow in that location because the roots are missing. Logically, they were broken off violently from where they grew leaving their roots behind and ended up floating uoright in water. When they were too water-logged, they pencil dropped to the bottom heavy end first where they came to rest on plant matter. As water-boune material sank on the surface above, it accumulated around these tree trunks and eventually they were buried. This process continued for some time as seen by multiple polystrate fossils in the same coal seam. They are also found in cliff faces where they are surrounded by rock rather than coal. How would it work from your current perspective? Upright tree trunks with no roots or branches growing in plant matter that eventually turns into coal. No roots? No soil? How did they grow? And how do you get such trees to stand there for tens of thousands of years without rotting away while they are buried? Any idea?

I would very much like to know if the radioisotope decay rates have remained constant (static) over decades, centuries, and millennia. As well as if there are any natural phenomena which affect these decay rates. For example, does the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field have anything to do with changing the decay rates? More sun rays beating down on atoms.... etc. That's just one example, but there are probably thousands of factors that need to be considered and tested. I haven't personally seen any in-depth studies that seek to test this in detail. Are there any? Who is looking? Who is keeping track? What methods are they using? What questions are they asking? I have a feeling this would be very hard to get a grant to study in this current ideological imposition academia is being forced to live in today.
Well we have gone through a global flood, an ice age, and than the melting of the ice age, and heating and cooling since than. So id say, no..things have not been the same over time. Oceans have risen and disappeared, rivers have risen and disappeared, etc etc...

And if the dating laboratories say that young rocks are difficult to age accurately (being 350,000 to 2.8 million years off like with Mount Saint Helens), a young Earth of only about 6,000 years would also be difficult to age.

Usually, what determines how you think about the age of the earth evidence, is whether or not you believe God exists. It's not a 100% correlation but I don't know any atheists who think the earth is young. I think the better question is, do you believe in the God of the Bible or any god at all?
Hi guys. Love your work but you mention at 36:20 that the river systems around the world dump about 20B tonnes of sediment into the oceans every year, which is roughly 6-8km^3 of sediment (assuming that it mainly comes from sandstone, silt and clays, roughly 2.6-3.3tonnes per m^3 in situ material), and I know that this was the current accepted geological stat agreed upon sometime in the 1980s and posted in current geologic textbooks but I was wondering if you could cross reference this figure with current GIS data? The reason I ask this is because lately I've been seeing claims of 40,000km^3 per annum based on surveying shoreline profiles of sediment build up at the end of these main rivers and smaller tributaries, which is a factor of nearly 10,000x that figure. If the latter figure is correct, then that would mean that the earth is eroding at a far greater rate than previously claimed. Using this latter rate and dividing it into the current known landmass of the earth this would erode the current surface to sea level in ~4,600 years (discounting the addition of landmass due to uplift of the continents, which would be in the METERS if this were actually true)! I'm trying to find recent papers presenting this current GIS surveying info and can only find some obscure paper that I don't have time to scrutinize properly. Do you mind if I ask that you check this GIS data for yourselves?
I watched something on the history channel were people doubted Noah’s flood and it was proven that there was a village that once was ans was covered with water at the time of the dlood
@joannea1686 the flood was global. It destroyed the entire earth ..in fact tectonic plates broke up and reshaped the land masses ..it was a complete and total catsriphic event for the entire globe..where 8 people were saved..possible more than a billion people perished in that disaster ..it was judgement on the earth by God..and it will be destroyed again..this time by fire ..you can count t on it as it's biblical and speaks of the future destruction by fire
There is also uplift due to plate tectonics that push mountains higher. There is also volcanism that puts solid material from the mantle onto the surface of Earth. This is happening today. Erosion estimates are just that, estimates. Today with Earth mapping satellites it is possible to refine that estimate.
@@Mamadukes1953 There are numerous villages and even cities being found all the time that are currently under water. Look at the example of Doggerland (many videos with scientific studies are available on RUclips).
@Dr-Jonathan-Sarfati-FMSo begin without belief, or use equal priors if you like. You don't have to believe either position to investigate how things came to be.
@@kellystone7501 It is impossible to begin to understand anything without presuppositions. Various philosophers have attempted to do so-Descartes, for one-and much has been written demonstrating his errors. Descartes tried doubting all of his assumptions until he could doubt no more and arrived at what he thought was an absolutely certain conclusion: cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am). But notice that along his skeptical journey he has to assume many things just to begin his doubting: the laws of logic, regularity of events over time, trustworthiness of his memory and rational faculty, intelligibility of nature, that it is possible to make logical inferences at all, predication in language, meanings of words. My point is not that these assumptions are incorrect, but that it’s impossible to begin to think about anything at all completely free of assumptions. The question we must ask ourselves is how we can account for the assumptions we must make in order to begin an investigations at all. Only in a cosmos created by a supernatural, good, intelligent creator can we assume the order, regularity, and intelligibility we must assume to begin reasoning at all. A cosmos brought about by a random act of violence has no inherent order and we should not expect it to be intelligible to us if we are merely meat machines adapted to reproduce our genes. Evolution selects for survivability and reproducibility, not an ability to discern truth-especially not transcendent truth about the nature of being itself.
Are you stating that if an individual does not believe in the strict biblical accounts then by default that individual believes in materialism or physicalism ? @Dr-Jonathan-Sarfati-FM
It’s a good thing we have many different ways to date age now. They are all consistent with one another too. The cup analogy he used was an argument from ignorance.
@@usernametaken6659I’m interested to hear why you think that. Young earth creationism has not only been debunked for hundreds of years, but in a colossal amount of different ways as well.

@@chad1682 Maybe I wasn’t specific enough. What I meant is that from the beginning, AND THROUGHOUT YEARS, no one can see what effects an object endures so that when dating anything it is easy to misdiagnose how old something is. That’s actually less logical & prideful ASSUMING things about a specimen without documenting its journey and what may alter its state to make a measurement illogical. This actually happened and why I laughed because it made me think about this time where layers were dated millions of years by a geological expert when the lake being observed was only 10 years old and the layers were only as old. I apologize if I sounded prideful that was not my intention. I hate pride and know it alls. When you can’t be wrong you’re already wrong. A wise man once said, “And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.” Again I did not intend to sound arrogant, maybe I need to work on the way I present.
@@omutvtube3910 You are still repeating the exact same mistake. You need to learn the basics of a scientific concept before you can debate the subject with anyone. If you cannot be bothered to learn about it then nobody will be bothered to give you a serious conversation. What if someone never read a single chapter of the Bible but then proceeded to lecture you on the subject? I suspect that you would be shocked and annoyed!
i have a question, using the flood as our source of most if not all major bodies of water on earth. How do we explain the fresh and salt water bodies, if they were all mixed together at one time? also how did fish survive the presents or absence of salinity during the flood event itself? More of an issue with the creation of salt water bodies, versus fresh water bodies from the immediate post flood era..
@briansmith5912 Simple: the flood never happened, because it is physically and scientifically impossible. Even as a miracle it's a poor example of bad storywriting.
@@urbanguard Even Atheists know the earth has been flooded most likely due to pole shifts or heating on the earth. Scientists have shown the entire North of Africa was inundated by a massive tsunami about 12600 years ago as evidenced by the rolling hills around the eye of the Sahara all the way to Egypt. China also has the Gun-Yu story of a massive flood. Matter of fact there are over 40 flood "myths" across the major continents. 1 or 2 I could call myths but over 40? No.
There has been sufficient time since the flood for the present salinity levels to exist in our oceans, given the current rates of erosion and deposition of dissolved salts into the oceans. The salinity levels rose gradually, fish can be quite adaptive. There are many examples of fish which can survive both in salt and fresh water. There are sharks and other fish that regularly swim from the ocean into freshwater rivers. There are amazing adaptive mechanisms that have been built into the genetic code of living organisms.
@@urbanguard The flood did happen. It is not "impossible." Saying it is impossible does not make it so. The evidence for the flood is actually quite overwhelming--if you actually look at it.
@@dooglitas We have evidence of relatively tiny local floods from much longer ago, because they happened and they left the telltale signs all over the place. If there was ever a worldwide flood of those proportions this recent, it would leave massive amounts of evidence, science would know about it and be all over it. They are not, because it never happened. It's actually quite simple.
Did you consider that lucifer sinned before Adam and was cast out of heaven? Could he have tried to create life and it was destroyed pre-Adam? It always was on my mind that God asked Adam to replenish the earth (Genesis 1:28) as if something was there before? Most versions use "fill the earth" but KJV says replenish... Then again He asks Noah to replenish the earth in Genesis 9:1 KJV so the same word is used and the 2nd time, it means exactly that...reolenish. So i expect the 1st time it meant the same thing too.
I don't know if anyone will ever answer me, but I'll try to ask my questions anyway. If anyone reads this: pls try to understamd my thoughts and i would appriciate any comment, response and explanation. I've been trying to understand how the earth and this universe came to be for a long time, but this video has only raised more questions for me instead of answering them. I agree with the point that our belief in God (or no God) affects our view of creation. If you believe in an omnipotent God, then the world could have been created 6000 years ago, that's true. Nothing is impossible for God. But does the theory of evolution really rule out a God? I don't think so. Of course this theory arose from the belief that there is no God, but it does not rule out an omnipotent God. So which of the two theories seems more plausible? As a devout Christian, I am not convinced by the theory in this video because it still leaves gaps. God exists outside of space and time, so we cannot say that seven days for God are the same as seven days for humans. One of the Gospels even states that for God, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. Furthermore, I don’t think God is a God who wants to lead us astray, giving us methods to date objects that turn out to be inaccurate. God wants us to discover and study His creation. He doesn’t want us to believe in Him first to understand how the world was created. He wants us to understand how the world was created, and in doing so, come to believe in Him, because the most logical explanation for creation is a Creator. It may be that the dating of rocks and bones etc is not 100% reliable, but we have found bones, like dinosaur bones, that don't fit into the creation story of the Bible, yet these bones are here and they obviously don't belong to a being that is still alive because they are far too big. So how did the bones come to earth? Were there dinosaurs and if so, when? In the last 6000 years? Then why are they no longer alive? Why is there nothing in the Bible about gigantic lizards? If everything written in Genesis really happened exactly as described, then there should be something about dinosaurs in it. This scientist has a good point when he says that death and suffering only came into the world after the Fall. And this world, as we know it through the theory of evolution, has been marked by death and suffering from the very beginning. Therefore, the theory of evolution cannot be correct. That’s definitely true, but Genesis also states that after the Fall, Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, or from Paradise. This means the Garden of Eden cannot have been on this earth. Could it be that Adam and Eve first lived in Paradise and were then banished to this earth? How did God create the world then? If the world was created 6,000 years ago, He would have had to create everything with a snap of His fingers. One moment, there’s nothing; the next moment, everything is as we know it. That’s not how I imagine God as a Creator. As we see today, every new creation is a process of development. A new tree doesn’t just appear out of nowhere; it must grow from a seed. A baby doesn’t simply pop into existence in the womb; it undergoes an entire process of development. And as Christians, we believe that a man and a woman in marriage have the honor of participating in creation, of being co-creators, and thus bringing forth new life. When I look at creation today, and see that new life is born daily with all the children being born, the theory of a young earth seems less plausible to me than the theory of evolution. This kind of creation described in the Bible doesn’t align with the image of God we know. God is someone who takes His time to bring creation to completion. He never created anything out of nothing with a snap of His fingers. Everything He has created has gone through a process of development, and we can observe this in creation today. That’s why the theory of evolution seems more plausible to me than this other theory. The seven days of creation should only be understood symbolically.
That’s exactly how it happened lol… He created Adam as a man from dust… He’s God. He can do whatever He wants however He wants. I would say that it wouldn’t be very awe-inspiring if God could only create things in a manner most similar to how we see things happening today.
There is no scriptual evidence for this but Adam was created as an adult with 20 or 30 years worth of history. Trees were created with varying numbers of yearly rings, showing their history at creation. Why not then could galaxies have been created a few days earlier with billions of years worth of history built in. Logical.
It's also logical that God might have just created me a few seconds ago and I found myself reading your comment. Similarly God might have created you just before you viewed the above the video and made your comment.
@stevearcus2963 This is the exact view I hold and seems to clearly bridge the gap between a Bible timeline and our estimations about the age of the universe.
Books of Job explains by God when He created us in the spirit body at the same time as He created dinosaurs millions millions years ago. There are more places in the bible that confirms this earth is millions and millions old.
Of course it is. Have you ever been in a plane? Looked out at the horizon? Isaiah 40:22 says it’s a circle + our experience. I don’t know if this is serious Q but ppl actually think otherwise. Strange.
Thank you for pointing out that the age of the earth IS a gospel issue. I hear so many Christians say the opposite without ever really thinking about it
I am a Christian and believe that God created as described in the Bible, not through evolution as some Christians believe. I will detail my thoughts here because they may help others realize that there had to be a creator and that macro evolution is not plausible. The evolutionary claim is that evolution needs a tremendous amount of time to create life at all at then a change in kinds because the changes that might occur at any point in time would be improbable (today we see minor changes within species happening very infrequently) and tiny. If all one is thinking about is that to get cumulatively big changes from many incrementally small changes, one will naturally conclude that we need much time. But there is a fly in the ointment. The theory of evolution has the problem of living organisms with relatively short lifespans and which can't wait long periods of time for all parts to evolve--certainly no longer than their lifespan but realistically no longer than a few minutes since life can't exist at all without all parts. But even inanimate objects can pose a problem. Mousetraps, for example and if they could evolve, would rust and rot, leading to degradation of quality and functionality while waiting for all parts to evolve. Organisms don't live forever, and skeletons with blood (heart, blood vessels, and the blood itself) can't wait even a generation let alone millions of years for the next bodily system (nervous, respiratory, muscular, endocrine, urinary, immune, digestive, or the integumentary system with skin, sweat glands and more) to evolve. Even one generation is far too much time because you can't have a skeleton with blood for any period of time let alone a whole generation. Life does not occur at all if you have only a few parts. You need ALL PARTS AT ONCE!!! Sexual reproduction in living organisms adds another layer of complexity partly because reproduction has to happen in a period of time shorter than the lifespan of the organism in order for the continuation of the species (in humans, within about a 30-year period) and because two organisms (male and female) in the same species have to evolve complementary systems/organs within a short enough period of time (not millions of years) for the species to survive. In fruit flies with a lifespan of about 40-50 days, that window of opportunity shrinks substantially. Not only that, but there are many types of sexual reproduction (e.g., bees, birds, frogs, and fish) so one can't say that the miraculously chance event had to happen only once and then was carried into all other organisms. I have a garden, and I see infrequent micro changes happen over the years (leaf shape or color on a couple of plants), but these kinds of changes only create variation within that kind of plant (e.g., citrus or fig tree) and don't result in macro evolution. The changes are also not rapid enough to account for the initial organism coming into existence (with all parts and systems and the incredibly complex DNA code/program evolving before the organism dies and to evolve quickly enough to enable life at all) or for the creation of a totally different type of organism. Darwin himself said that incremental micro changes (better and better, more and more) over a supremely long period of time (e.g., bird beaks changing in shape and size over a generation) might create macro evolution. But as we see above, time does not work in evolution's favor. Additionally, that DNA code (like a computer program) had to come first before even a single part of an organism means that natural selection through an organism with many parts could not have been what birthed the code--neither instantly nor over millions of years. But for DNA to exist at all (without intelligence/design/order/code/programming ability is impossible as it is needed to create the various parts of the cell), the cell''s nucleus would already have to have existed. And the only way for both nucleus and DNA to have existed at same time is through a creator. Frank Turek (not that I agree with everything he has said) gave a great example of how an outside force can overcome the laws of physics: the strength of a human arm can lift something from low to high, countering gravity. (In the same way, we see limitation after limitation in the natural world that only a creator's power and intelligence could overcome.)
@@mustaffa1611 Exactly, the earth is clearly a pyramid where giant trolls live underneath stealing socks, underpants and the remote control to the TV. The Bible clearly tells us that.
Let's just take a moment to talk about the Big Bang Theory, which most who believe in evolution also believe in the Big Bang. Please stick around until the end if you want to learn some things that proves science surrounding this subject doesn't know what it's talking about, and even directly contradicts itself in a lot of ways. This in no way is meant to stir and argument, and if you disagree, or see that I made a mistake, feel free to let me know - I value the truth just as much as the next man, so an open discussion on my incorrectness would only mean that I am learning something new. This will be a long one, but I will keep it interesting and informative for those who can stand to read. For starters, what is the Big Bang? Well, it was not two subatomic particles that collided causing the endless expanse that we know as the universe. Evolutionists and Big Bang theorists say that "energy" accumulated at a point somewhere in space where it was so dense and hot that it began to expand rapidly - thus the name, "Big Bang". The contradiction here is that, scientists suggest that the Big Bang happened and then the universe was created, yet the the "energy" could only have accumulated if at one point is was not accumulated. To be blunt, that implies that the universe had to already exist, and that this "energy" was already moving around the universe in order for an accumulation of "energy" to take place. But wait, it gets better - or worse, depending on what you believe. The next issue you run into is, why is there such diversity in every plant we've ever seen, in every living creature we ever discovered, in every human who walks/has walked on the earth? How could it be possible that the same micro-organisms created such diversity? Well, you'll first want to understand what DNA is, as it is the thing that separates each living creature into its own species. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains genetic information for the development, growth, reproduction, and functioning of all life. In this way, and this way alone, are humans and animals similar - there is nothing other than the need for food and water, reproduction, growth and basic functions such as breathing that connects humans and animals. Saying that humans share 90% DNA with apes does not mean that we came from apes, it simply means that apes require a lot of the things that humans also require in order to survive. It's as they say, a beach ball can float like a boat, but you can't use them both for the same purpose.... depending on how big the boat is, or how many beach balls you have. Ridiculous analogies aside, lets talk about water molecules during the Big Bang. Let's start by imagining a pot of water sitting on a stove that is set to the highest temperature. Eventually that water will be vaporized into a gaseous state where it will then condensate until enough of it has accumulated causing it to rain because the water molecules become too heavy to be sustained in the sky. However, that only works on Earth, because space doesn't have an atmosphere, oxygen, nor gravity, so condensation and precipitation are not possible in space - only evaporation is. Keeping this in mind, stars emit unfathomable amounts of heat, and even in space this heat can not only vaporize water molecules, but out right destroy it entirely, as well as anything else that it comes into contact with. Sure, maybe it is practical to suggest that the water vaporized into a gaseous form, and then got to where it is now via condensation, and precipitation as it entered the earth's atmosphere. The issue being with this next question though... how come this "energy", which scientists actually suggest was 18 billion degrees Fahrenheit, which is hotter than anything humans could imagine, didn't destroy every living organism and all the water where the organisms had to be in order to survive? I'm not the arbiter of all things that are true and false, but that does not add up. Perhaps it's just me, or someone got a significant portion of their information wrong. It doesn't end there though. A fun science fact to send you through a loop about water in space is, water will rapidly boil away in space because the lack of air pressure. The lower the air pressure, the lower the heat required to boil water. You can verify this by boiling water at sea level, and then doing the same on top of Mt. Everest - you will observe that the heat required to boil the water is reduced. But wait, lets let science contradict science, because in the last 30 years massive bodies of water have been discovered floating in space. No, not just here and there... everywhere... No, not the gaseous form, the liquid form. A recently discovered, but far from the only, body of water in space scientists estimate to be 140 trillion times more than that of the total water on Earth. This very discovery would suggest that water does not vaporize rapidly, if at all, as we would see water in the gaseous form, not its liquid form. While it is possible for some, and I mean slim to none, water to be found in space as space is not a perfect vacuum with 0 air pressure, with the scientific facts that we know, more than 98% of that body of water discovered in space would not actually exist in the form that it is in. Here is where you add insult to injury - and while it might not be a contradiction, it certainly is notable on how much, or should I say little, most scientists actually comprehend the universe we live in, and should expand on how much they just make up and sell to people. They're saying that this body of water is 12 billion years old. That's right, 12,000,000,000 years old. Surely, everyone who actually ends up reading this has at one point heard of Carbon Dating. This is the process in which scientists claim they can measure the age of something without knowing when its origin was, and they do so by measuring the amount of carbon 14 (C-14) in any given object that contains organic material - yes, they also can do this to water by extracting the carbonates of the water. Coincidentally, this body of water happens to be billions of light years away. This would imply they actually travelled to the body of water, collected samples, and actually tested it. We all know full-well nobody ever did that. Even if they were on their way to do it, it would take billions of years in science's own logic before they could get close enough to touch the water, but then, likely billions of more years to send that information back to earth. A fun fact about carbon dating is that, even scientists suggest that carbon dating does not work on anything older than 20,000 years old, nor is it effective against non-organic materials. All the while, other scientists suggest that carbon dating works for up to 55,000 year old organic material - this is because the C-14 has already underwent 9 half lives in which the C-14 is not able to be properly tested due to there not being enough of it. So we see an endless spree of inconsistencies amongst all scientists on the subject of carbon dating. Clearly, if scientists are using the same process to carbon date something and constantly come up with different answers, the logical conclusion is that carbon dating is worse than just inaccurate and unreliable. If you think that's crazy, a scientist could claim that a rock is hundreds of thousands of years old, all the while having zero basis because the inconsistent carbon dating process does not work on rocks. I don't claim to be a genius, in fact, I am just a normal dude who went through the same indoctrination program that we call school as most of you did, but from what I have learned in school on the subject, and applying common sense to a lot of the things mentioned above - none of it adds up. That's because it was made up. I do not deny all science, as I actually agree with quite a bit of science, but I will always reject the scientists who go out of their way to contradict God, because, as mentioned above, (which doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the matter) scientists make up baseless points and arguments that a lot of people just take at face value without even looking into it themselves. If those people would look into it, and then put their thought into it, they will also find various contradictions, inconsistencies, and flat out made up nonsense like the ones I have mentioned.

The contradiction here is that, scientists suggest that the Big Bang happened and then the universe was created, yet the the "energy" could only have accumulated if at one point is was not accumulated." Umm no. There was no space, and in fact, at this point no one really knows how the Singularity came into being. It is all conjecture. It was super hot and it was condensed energy. It did expand. As it did, space came into being. "The next issue you run into is, why is there such diversity in every plant we've ever seen, in every living creature we ever discovered, " The Theory of Evolution explains this. Not sure why you think it an issue. "Saying that humans share 90% DNA with apes" We share a huge amount of mistakes and broken genes with apes. (we are apes btw) "lets talk about water molecules during the Big Bang." There were none. In fact, molecules of any sort did not appear for a very long time. Water was not possible for millions and millions of years. You seem to have missed the fact that there a great many different temperatures happening in various parts of space. Extremely high temps and extremely low ones. Not sure why you think water cannot form- in gas, liquid and solid forms. Fun extra fact, many planets have atmospheres. Carbon dating is not, by any means, the only dating method. As you say, it is accurate within a very limited range. Why are you citing it? Maybe you have some killer arguments. None of this lot fit that category.
@AGuyNamedMarcus Fun fact. The Theory says that the only space that existed was at the point of the Singularity. It wasn't at a point in space. Space was at that point. All of it. Since the expansion, space has been expanding.
@@justinscheapguitarsandreviews It is certainly hard to get yr head around. That same space is expanding even as we speak. And the expansion is accelerating. We tend to think of space as nothing and at the same time we think of it as everything. However physics has shown space is weirdly a "fabric" we call the space/ time continuum. It expands, it is bent by mass (gravity) and time is absolutely linked to space as well. And, as far as we can tell, there is nothing our expanding universe is expanding into. Our brains fry on this stuff. But the evidence is what it is.
It all makes sense, it's clear and obvious, therefore we must stop skipping those parts of Genesis that assure us we're not living on a crazy ball turning and flying somewhere through the unknown.
A question that arises is the origin of defensive/offensive structures in animals and plants. Where did fangs and poison glands come from? Did these things have other functions before sin and death came into the world? Scripture mentions thorns coming about after man's fall. Perhaps these things came about because of the curse, but some of them are so complex that they seem like a second creation.
@@UrbFoxFact The one true God. Jesus Christ. As an evangelist I know a bit about all the many false religions put there, but know Jesus is the truth. John 3:16,18 ESV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Which one of you 2 are scientists? Which one if you 2 is a geologist? Would it not make sense to have someone in this conversation who would hold a different view? Or do you like hearing yourself talk?
I would say your on the right track.I appreciate the unpacking of their concepts it brings to light some god points about how we date things. However, it expressly states in genesis, time is not to scale when talking about the creation. It then flips to the documentation of family bloodlines (people lived longer) that's the 6k-12k After Adam is walking the earth. I'm not sure who injected this idea Science and scripture are apposed. Scripture left the time period ambiguous for a reason. said a "day is like a thousand years" and "let the EARTH bring forth animals of its kind" that's clearly a description of evolution and a powerful automation aka mother earth. God never made the animals he made a automated system that made the animals.

Trees can produce more than one ring per year. Each tree ring is produced by seasons of drought, or heavy rain. Ice layers can form many layers per year also.

In the 1990s ateam searched for the aeroplanes and made what should have correct calculations based on the ideas contemporary regarding how long it takes for the snow and ice to cover the aircraft, how far under the surface and their co-ordinates. The estimated depth was about several metres. Where the found the aircraft was a few miles off from the estimated distance and more striking was the depth, which was about 270+ feet. Using the conventional ideas about Greenland ice layers would have meant these planes had landed centuries earlier, based on the depth alone. So there has to be a rethink as to how to interpret the Greenland ice layers. Layers do not indicate years or even change of season. In fact multiple layers can form over weeks with slight variations in temperature, a storm, wind direction changes and so forth. The surprised the scientists in the labs in mainland universities but not locals.
In this century, Islands have been created in a matter of a few days by underwater volcanic processes. Tsunamis can change the shoreline in a matter of hours. White moths can genetically alter to black moths or spotted if sudden pollution causes the flowers they rest on to change colour and make them vulnerable. Krakatoa changed the mountain in minutes. If the world was hotter previously these changes should have been more rapid than today.

Creationists have long rejected scientific dating methods. Then the shroud of Turin was dated to about 2,000 years old and suddenly they love scientific dating methods.
@@stevepierce6467 Then you haven’t looked far enough. There are several RUclips videos relating to new evidence that shows the shroud is much closer to the time of Jesus than previously thought. The 800 years you talk of was from 1988 but it was discovered that the fibres used were part of a repair dating from about 800:years ago. More recent wide angle x-ray scattering tests on original cloth indicate the shroud to be much older than previous radiocarbon dating suggested. Also, other biological evidence, not related to radiation dating techniques, supports a date more in line with the time of Jesus.
Not exactly true. AMS C14 is externally verifiable using archaelogical finds and written history. isochron dating is not, and that's what we reject as it's not verifiable with standard calibration methods.
@@M00nGlitz What you just said didn't refute anything stated or any evidence presented here. John 3:16,18 ESV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
There is a funny moment in Doctor Who, a clearly reliable source. He has to wait, so he pulled a book out of his pocket, "How it all Began." He opened the book and said, "He's got it wrong in the first paragraph! Why didn't he ask someone who was there?"😅
I don't think he's listening close enough to what he's saying.When God said after creation that everything was good, did he say, '' except for the radioactive elements which are actually in a state of decay? He's arguing for the necessity of Christ that death and decay did not exist before sin, yet the only problem he has with radiometric dating is the rate of decay?. Walt Brown has a very good argument against radiometric decay in the beginning as a part of creation. It's simple. It didn't happen until the flood. We can now, in a lab, through pressure and electric charge, alter the proton count and change one element into another where it then begins a rate of decay that can be measured in millions of years (I may be off on the exact process, it's been a while). Earth's crust is composed of , I think, 70% quartz which has a massive amount of stored electrical potential, the same electricity that lights your bbq when you press a button and a small hammer hits a piece of quartz and releases some of that stored energy in the form of a small lightening bolt. Now think about an ocean of water on top of all this quartz during Noah's flood with an electrical storm being activated in the ground below , the same process we can influence proton count with in laboratory's today. This seems to be the best explanation to me. For the record I'm not a scientist and my explanation may have many mistakes, or exclusions, but to me this was the only way I could explain it. Great video thank you.
There's a misconception here relating to the naming of terms: It seems you're saying that radioactive *decay* must necessarily be a _bad_ thing because it includes the word *decay* . But this is not the case. It's just the name that has been given to a scientific process of change in (non-living) things. (By way of analogy, it would be a bit like calling gravity a _bad_ process because it makes things *fall* , and falling is bad, right? E.g. people 'fall' into sin, Satan 'fell', etc. But this is clearly a bad argument.) Just because a process has 'decay' in it's (English) name doesn't ncesessarily mean it's a _bad_ process in and of itself. That said, I don't think there is any place in the video where Dr Harwood explicitly says (or refers to) radioactive decay happening between Creation and the Fall? Regarding Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory, we have an in-depth analysis of this on our site: creation.com/hydroplate-theory Also, see: creation.com/hydroplate-theory-difficulties
I think Walter Brown has the best explanation of the Genesis flood and the world as we see it today. Adding a canopy of ice would explain the waters above the firmament and the windows of heaven in the Genesis account. And can also scientifically explain other things like giant plants which can be duplicated in hyperbaric chambers with increased co2, giant insects could not fly or breathe in today's atmosphere and venomous critters with thermal detection and ranging couldn't possibly be called "good", and may have been medicinal and able to detect inflammation heat in the preflood conditions. I don't think there was rain or rainbows before the flood either.
@@creationministriesintl Sure but radioactive elements damage our cells. Hardly something , it would seem, God would call good. I read the in depth analysis, and I am merely speaking of the beginning of radioactive elements. The gravity scenario seems to be somewhat of a equivocation fallacy. Gravity is constant and doesn't decay. So you really have two things to explain now. Why decaying material was part of creation week, and now you must explain why for us Christians it is okay to inject our own presupposition on the rate of decay which differs from known empirical observation. If the answer is, "it must be because the age of the earth is young", your argument is no better than the evolutionist when they say we know evolution is true because we exist. I do appreciate however, your ministry and in particular the helium dating process which, correct me if I'm wrong, was developed my a team from CMI?
The canopy theory was once popular, but has been rejected-with good reason-by informed creationists for a long time now. (In fact, it has long been on our list of 'Argumetns we thin creationists should NOT use' - creation.com/arguments-we-think-creationists-should-not-use#canopy ) I'm sure you'll be interested to read some reasoning: creation.com/vapour-canopy-problems Also we think it most likely that there were both rain and rainbows before the Flood (and this is totally compatible with the relevant Bible texts). For reasoning, see: creation.com/rainbows-and-the-flood
Actually the problem is with the translation of the Hebrew word, "YOM". Yom is translated as "day" but it really is a period of time. It is sort of like the English word, "day". If I say, " The day of the dinosaur," I am speaking of a period of time when there were dinosaurs. In some parts of the Bible, YOM is translated as "Eternity". Unless you think we will live for only one day after death, and resurrection, this is a problem. This entire testimony is off because of a bad translation of old Hebrew. The Bible actually lines up well with science when the words, like YOM, are translated correctly, This video is suspect because two people that believe the same thing discussing the topic. Not a real exchange of ideas, but coming from an assumption that the world is 6000 years old and trying to prove it.

If I could ask him a question, it would be concerning star light and why, if creation is as young as he believes, we see light from stars many millions of light-years away? I would assume if I see light from a star 10 million light years away, that light had to have begun its journey 10 million years ago. I suppose one could say God created the light from these stars continuous with long distances, essentially stretching light out so that man can see this part of his creation.
The speed of light and its impact on time is relative. It is possible that the light we see from far distances does actually reflect millions of years at the outskirts of the universe

Agreed. It was amazing how much Mark Harwood, who has a Ph.D in antenna design/computers suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect believing that he alone knows more about all the different methods of radiometric dating and sedimentation rates, tree rings, ice cores, geologic strata etc than every single expert in the field of geology, biology, and basically every single field of science that uses this technique. He must think that the oil/gas industry that uses evolutionary theory to prospect for new hydrocarbon deposits must be all pure luck and/or Satanic magic. Or perhaps he should be out protesting NASA's Mars rovers (and helicopter) whose missions depend on millions of years worth of erosion and mineral deposits in an ancient lake? And he didn't even provide a source to his either his own research paper or even his peer review of the existing papers! Oh he didn't write anything? I wonder why. Absolutely amazing discussion that perfectly demonstrates the Dunning-Kruger effect.

So if you have rock that is molten under the earth's crust that gets erupted through a crack in the crust you say that the solidified lava was just created that day?
Many don't talk about it because that information is not pertinent to one's salvation and has not been revealed to us. It's nice to speculate, but we really don't know.
This has to make sense, science tries to dismiss our belief that the earth is millions and billions of years old with dinosaurs and stuff. I was stuck on the mystery of dinosaurs and how there couldve been people before Adam if God first made Adam. Science is an assumption of creation instead of the belief of the creator. We must believe in the Lord. My mind is blown away. Everything makes sense to me. Thank you.
@@firstbornlohe7578 We are made in the image of God as a by product of his extension. There has to be a beginning and that beginning must've started with God.

33:37 I guess I don’t understand this notion of rock dating, so maybe someone can clarify - if a rock formed out of lava from Mt Saint Helens 50 years ago and they radiometrically date the rock - wouldn’t we expect it’s age to reflect the age of the lava itself and not the age of when it happened to spew forth and solidify from the eruption? I mean couldn’t that lava been flowing around underneath for a lot longer before it was forced up?
No. It depends on what method we are using. With Potassium Argon for example, the theory is that all the argon as a gas would have boiled out of the lava so that the clock resets when it solidifies. However, we also know that not all the argon boils out in many cases. Thus, this is one reason why many of these dating methods don't work. All these methods depend on many unknown assumptions. The point is this: if in almost every instance when we test rocks of known ages, we get the wrong dates, what makes you think that it would work on rocks of known ages. If the method doesn't work, then all the supposed millions of years from these methods cannot be trusted too.
@@creationministriesintlwhat is the Christian method for measuring the age of a rock again?? I think geology especially in the petroleum industry have been really precise and accurate at finding oil based off evolution and ancient seabed vs whatever Christianity offered. Just because a dating method isn’t perfect doesn’t mean that the science or theory is incorrect. The only thing that solves for less precise, less accurate science is more science. The Bible has no method to validate any scientific claim so it’s even worse than whatever method we have today for science. I work in metrology, I can assure every scientific tool used in measuring the material work world doesn’t rely on Bible history or any human history. But you claiming that the method is wrong because one particular measurement has negative results doesn’t negate all of geological science.
@@warrenbuffett920 we date back to 2200-2250BC ish to Noah based on genealogical evidence based on the Bible, and current DNA mutation between father and son tracking does line up with this genetic evidence. If we assume the Flood to have happened at this time, we would be able to show that soft tissue can be preserved under this timeframe, as opposed to millions of years where it is impossible to have happened (we find soft tissue in layers that are 450 million years old, which goes against empirical understanding of soft tissue). Catastrophic as the Flood was, it would have suddenly buried animals in the middle of normal actions, such as eating, giving birth, and the fossil record does reflect on this.
Praise the Lord Jesus! I’ve been saying this for years! I completely agree with you and the Bible! Great to hear a scientists say this. I love you guys !
Summary: " the earth can't be old because my theological presuppositions won't allow it. Now from that premise let me explain how I reinterpret all the data".
Potassium-argon dating - The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.3 billion years, far longer than that of carbon-14, allowing much older samples to be dated.

This is what happens when you read Gen 1 through a modern materialist ontology rather than an ancient functional or phenomenological ontology. It was not written to explain how the world was made, but why.
Genesis' creation myth is a relatively young myth that copied from other much older myths from Mesopotamia that were two to three thousand years older. Written probably around the time attributed to Moses around 1500 BCE, it's a newer version of lore that passed around that region for millenia. The Jews just packaged their own version of it.
@@ryanesau8147 I never said anything contrary to that. Yes people in the west believed it because Christianity was pretty much universal. What I'm saying is that the Bible is not even close to being the original source of these ideas about creation. There were similar versions of the creation story from the Sumerians, Egyptians, and other previous civilizations since almost 4000 BC. The Bible is ancient so it gets some kind of stature in the minds of Christians for being the first religion to create this unique story of creation, but it's not unique in any way. It's a simple creation myth that copied from other religions much more ancient. The Sumerians wrote that "the heavens and earth were separated" in their creation story a thousand years before the Bible. In the Bible before the heavens and earth were separated God existed, and in the Sumerian version, their gods existed too. Finally the Flood story of Genesis is a total copy of the Eridu Genesis of Sumeria written a millenia before the Bible. In that myth, the gods are angered and flood the earth but instruct Ziusudra to build an ark for his family to survive. After the flood, the gods are regretful and reward Ziusudra with immortality. In the Bible, God is regretful and makes a covenant with Noah promising never to do that again. The Jews added their own twists to previous myths, the main one being that theirs was a monotheistic religion.

For all you hard-core "Science" people they said petrified trees were millions of years old. When Mt. St Helen exploded it petrified trees in mere years.

The trees were not older than 10 years.

I came to grips with this argument years ago when I realized that the Pentateuch was Jesus’ bible. If he was truly who he said he was, then he would have clarified any errors. He never sat the disciples down and said that the creation story wasn’t really six days, but several thousand, or millions of years. What many Christians tend to overlook is that His resurrection is what affirms a literal interpretation of scripture.
The writers of the gospels thought the Earth was a Flat Disk, covered by a solid plate (FIRMAMENTUM in the Vulgate or Rakia in the Hebrew) immersed in the infinite waters of Chaos. Exactly like the Babylonian and Egyptian creation stories say.. Yeah, the inerrant book screwed that one up. Too bad you are too full of pride, the sin of satan, to look into the real meaning of Christianity.

@@richardlawson6787 You're being to hard on yourself.
The flaw is: What do you mean by "age of a rock". If you take lava which is melted and resolidified rock, why do you take the moment of solidification as t= zero ?
Exactly. If rocks had an age,they should all be exactly the same age. Sedimentary rock isn't real rock just because it got hard. It's the lack of our language that we even call many types of matter by group names. Our labelling something is not a statement of anything factual. God brought all the animals to Adam to see what he would call them. And we have been naming sh!t ever since, and thinking that by naming something, we have somehow understood and defined it. We delude ourselves with our pattern seeking brains.
There is no flaw. If you date a piece of lava at 100 mln years, it is never younger, maybe its components are even older, but then the whole young earth story still falls apart.
@@urbanguardHow did you get that 100 million year age? We have documented age of the earth by men who witnessed and wrote it down. I'll go with that.
@@johnglad5 The men you speak of were ignorant of everything around them, couldn't read or write and probably died at 30 of something they couldn't see.
Everything was all handed down by word of mouth and written down a hundred years later by some other ignoramus who wasn't there.
We have scientists now who can actually read and write and know how to use radiometric dating, so we know how old the earth is. I'll go with that.
If the moment of solidification is not taken as t=0, you in turn have the same, if not a bigger problem with the same dating methods he's criticizing. Now you have to ask, when does t=0? If it's the moment it came into existence, let's say the Big Bang, then everything would have the same date. I think he has to take the moment of solidification as t=zero, since that's probably what the sciences say. At least for extrusive igenous rocks, and upon searching this, it appears that is when that rock is considered "born".
I don't need to be a scientist to know this world was created. All I have to do is look at one beautiful creature and I know that didn't happen by random chance.
The fact you say random chance means you really have no clue. It's called selection pressures. Selection focuses on alleles that work for the given ecosystems.

Not trying to be on the opposition of anything, just genuinely curious. But, if the earth isn’t old then I’m gonna assume that means that the earth’s mountains wasn’t much different than they are now when they was created. I live in southern Appalachia, I’ve always been told and read that the Appalachians are the oldest mountain range in the world, and when they were formed they were even taller than the Himalayas (the youngest mountain range). I’m assuming also that a young earth belief doesn’t include Pangea, or any kind of continents breaking apart and moving along the mantle until they eventually came to where they are today after many different shifts, collisions, splits, etc over millions of years. But, if that’s the case then why do underground coal miners here in Appalachia constantly find fossils of tropical plants, not only that, but coal itself is composed of ancient plant matter that has been compressed under mountains for millions of years, hence why it’s a, “fossil fuel”. So my question is I guess, if the plates never shifted, and Appalachia was never a tropical landscape and environment then why are those fossils there, or why is there even coal there literally deep beneath mountains? Also, didn’t watch much of the video, so they may have talked about something in relation, sorry 😅.
^^ and the fountains of the deep opening up explains continental shift and mountains.
You're "assuming" a lot. Starting with that all the processes you see in operation today never moved at any faster rate. Such as continental drift, formation of coal, etc. Might help your position if you actually watched the video before commenting.

Coal can form from plant material very fast. It doesn't take millions of years. Next, think for a moment about the continents... they don't float on the ocean, they're connected by land under the water. If the continents "drifted" apart, where did all the land which connects them come from?

Faith is more of a heart issue than a head issue. Once you accept Jesus everything else just falls into place.
thats wrong. God said you doesn´t have to belive your heart. you have to use facts and logic, your brain!
I think there's a lot of truth in that, but we also have to be careful. I believe humility in the search for truth is what you're talking about. Christians often want to pretend that spiritual "truth" is in conflict with logic and reason, we can't trust in ourselves to know or find the truth of God through that, so we have to use our "faith", our "heart", which can only come about by reading the Bible. Never mind that it's through reason and logic that you would come to any sort of realization that you should believe a certain thing...which is true in ANY domain of life. Many Christians don't have a clue why they believe what they believe, but they probably have a good heart... but the lack of logic and reasoning shows, exemplified in the nature of these young-earth creationists who like to quickly call "heresy" against people that want to do something basic like showing how the earth is indeed very old, and that that's OK, and even warranted, because it fits very well with the text and the physical evidence we see all around us.
Faith is not a heart issue. It is a spiritual one. It is also not in conflict with reality.
It takes more faith to be an atheist than it does to believe in God❤

Mount Saint Helens was the opening for me as it challenged my assumptions based on Charles Lyell's uniformitarian model for everything. From there I had to explore the historical nature of the Bible and it moved on from there. In 1988 or January 1993, had someone told me "you'll become a Christian, a believer in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and most importantly the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ", I would have said they were mad, an idiot. Then March 1993, that all changed with Mount Saint Helens- Evidence for Catastrophe. Later that year I put my faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

Uniformitarianistism versus Catastrophism
This is the question that needs discussion more often.
Research in both theories should be compared.
Anomalies that uniformitarianistism can't explain are easily explained by a recent single catastrophic global flood
I personally think the Flood was cosmic. Looking at the volcanism on Io, Mars, and Venus. Galactic jets. Galaxy collisions. Isaiah 34:4, 2 Peter 3:10, and Revelation 21:1 says the end will come by the fire of the stars falling towards the supermassive blackholes. Noah's Flood started it as a foreshadowing of what will become of our Solar System as it is vaporized to be part of the jets.
The biblical flood is nothing more than folklore storytelling. It originated in ancient Mesopotamia, and the same flood story is found in the Epic of Gilgamesh... though told slightly different, and with different characters. Many aspects of the story are impossible without a crap ton of God magic or intervention. It's a bit silly and illogical as well.
Besides, YEC science can not explain the heat problem that comes with all of the shifting and radioactive decay of organic materials over such a short period of time. This is a known issue.

@Hydroverse with all I mentioned, the only thing you could bring up was the god magic? Do you have a response to the bigger problems in question?
The only reason I mentioned god magic is because the story about Noah's Ark is not supposed to involve any god magic or divine intervention. Otherwise, why go through all of the trouble of building an Ark and loading it with all those animals when he could just poof the evil away. Yet, for the events to take place, and for everything work out the way it portrays, there would have to be a crap ton of divine intervention (aka god magic).
@@andrewc1205 If the Flood actually happened, why wouldn't several civilisations have the same story reflecting the same event, but told differently?

Very good interviewer! Others need to follow his example. Good questioning, listening, and not interrupting.
30:00 The dating of rock. Lava is molton Rock, so once it has solidified from its molton state, it becomes a solid. In your statement, you said you could categorically say how old it was, but when did it become molton? It could have been in that state for tens of thousands of years. I make a block of ice from water, you know, when it became a block of ice, but how old is the water. Take a look at a very familiar rock, COAL. In my country, UK, this is usually mined from very deep pits, sometimes up to a mile deep. These coal seams are old forests and vegitation, which, over time, have become compressed over thousands of years as the earth above them gets thicker and thicker. In these coal seams, sometimes you can identify ferns and timber that have left their impressions in the coal. None of this happen within six thousand years. I do find what you have to say very interesting, but the foundation of your theories appears very weak.
Call and debate Kent
But your problem with his assumption is at the very least the same, if not magnified when presented to the radio dating method's assumptions. The fact that your question even has the interrogative word "when" presents a major problem. The method in question is a method of dating something. However, according to you, and I don't necessarily think your wrong in asking, you need to know "when" a part of the process which is used by the method occurs.
If your question for him is when did the rock become molten, I think the obvious question for the radio dating method would then be, when was the carbon(or whatever is being measured) added to the rocks? And how much? And how could you be sure?
The coal didn't form over a very long. It was dumped there rapidly by the Flood and was then covered rapidly by Flood born sediments and the process continued. Your belief that coal formed by old forests dying amd being covered slowly is seen nowhere in the world and is physically impossible. Think it through. And keep watching these kind of videos.

@@oshiforb7445 There are broken tree trunks that run many meters through coal seams from top to bottom. No roots, no branches and no soil. They didn't grow in that location because the roots are missing. Logically, they were broken off violently from where they grew leaving their roots behind and ended up floating uoright in water. When they were too water-logged, they pencil dropped to the bottom heavy end first where they came to rest on plant matter. As water-boune material sank on the surface above, it accumulated around these tree trunks and eventually they were buried. This process continued for some time as seen by multiple polystrate fossils in the same coal seam. They are also found in cliff faces where they are surrounded by rock rather than coal. How would it work from your current perspective? Upright tree trunks with no roots or branches growing in plant matter that eventually turns into coal. No roots? No soil? How did they grow? And how do you get such trees to stand there for tens of thousands of years without rotting away while they are buried? Any idea?

More sun rays beating down on atoms.... etc. That's just one example, but there are probably thousands of factors that need to be considered and tested.

Hi guys. Love your work but you mention at 36:20 that the river systems around the world dump about 20B tonnes of sediment into the oceans every year, which is roughly 6-8km^3 of sediment (assuming that it mainly comes from sandstone, silt and clays, roughly 2.6-3.3tonnes per m^3 in situ material), and I know that this was the current accepted geological stat agreed upon sometime in the 1980s and posted in current geologic textbooks but I was wondering if you could cross reference this figure with current GIS data?
The reason I ask this is because lately I've been seeing claims of 40,000km^3 per annum based on surveying shoreline profiles of sediment build up at the end of these main rivers and smaller tributaries, which is a factor of nearly 10,000x that figure. If the latter figure is correct, then that would mean that the earth is eroding at a far greater rate than previously claimed. Using this latter rate and dividing it into the current known landmass of the earth this would erode the current surface to sea level in ~4,600 years (discounting the addition of landmass due to uplift of the continents, which would be in the METERS if this were actually true)! I'm trying to find recent papers presenting this current GIS surveying info and can only find some obscure paper that I don't have time to scrutinize properly.
Do you mind if I ask that you check this GIS data for yourselves?

Descartes tried doubting all of his assumptions until he could doubt no more and arrived at what he thought was an absolutely certain conclusion: cogito, ergo sum (I think, therefore I am). But notice that along his skeptical journey he has to assume many things just to begin his doubting: the laws of logic, regularity of events over time, trustworthiness of his memory and rational faculty, intelligibility of nature, that it is possible to make logical inferences at all, predication in language, meanings of words.
My point is not that these assumptions are incorrect, but that it’s impossible to begin to think about anything at all completely free of assumptions. The question we must ask ourselves is how we can account for the assumptions we must make in order to begin an investigations at all. Only in a cosmos created by a supernatural, good, intelligent creator can we assume the order, regularity, and intelligibility we must assume to begin reasoning at all. A cosmos brought about by a random act of violence has no inherent order and we should not expect it to be intelligible to us if we are merely meat machines adapted to reproduce our genes. Evolution selects for survivability and reproducibility, not an ability to discern truth-especially not transcendent truth about the nature of being itself.

i have a question, using the flood as our source of most if not all major bodies of water on earth. How do we explain the fresh and salt water bodies, if they were all mixed together at one time? also how did fish survive the presents or absence of salinity during the flood event itself? More of an issue with the creation of salt water bodies, versus fresh water bodies from the immediate post flood era..
@briansmith5912 Simple: the flood never happened, because it is physically and scientifically impossible. Even as a miracle it's a poor example of bad storywriting.
@@urbanguard Even Atheists know the earth has been flooded most likely due to pole shifts or heating on the earth. Scientists have shown the entire North of Africa was inundated by a massive tsunami about 12600 years ago as evidenced by the rolling hills around the eye of the Sahara all the way to Egypt. China also has the Gun-Yu story of a massive flood. Matter of fact there are over 40 flood "myths" across the major continents. 1 or 2 I could call myths but over 40? No.
There has been sufficient time since the flood for the present salinity levels to exist in our oceans, given the current rates of erosion and deposition of dissolved salts into the oceans. The salinity levels rose gradually, fish can be quite adaptive. There are many examples of fish which can survive both in salt and fresh water. There are sharks and other fish that regularly swim from the ocean into freshwater rivers. There are amazing adaptive mechanisms that have been built into the genetic code of living organisms.
@@urbanguard The flood did happen. It is not "impossible." Saying it is impossible does not make it so. The evidence for the flood is actually quite overwhelming--if you actually look at it.
@@dooglitas We have evidence of relatively tiny local floods from much longer ago, because they happened and they left the telltale signs all over the place.
If there was ever a worldwide flood of those proportions this recent, it would leave massive amounts of evidence, science would know about it and be all over it. They are not, because it never happened. It's actually quite simple.
Did you consider that lucifer sinned before Adam and was cast out of heaven? Could he have tried to create life and it was destroyed pre-Adam?
It always was on my mind that God asked Adam to replenish the earth (Genesis 1:28) as if something was there before? Most versions use "fill the earth" but KJV says replenish...
Then again He asks Noah to replenish the earth in Genesis 9:1 KJV so the same word is used and the 2nd time, it means exactly that...reolenish. So i expect the 1st time it meant the same thing too.
I don't know if anyone will ever answer me, but I'll try to ask my questions anyway. If anyone reads this: pls try to understamd my thoughts and i would appriciate any comment, response and explanation.
I've been trying to understand how the earth and this universe came to be for a long time, but this video has only raised more questions for me instead of answering them. I agree with the point that our belief in God (or no God) affects our view of creation. If you believe in an omnipotent God, then the world could have been created 6000 years ago, that's true. Nothing is impossible for God. But does the theory of evolution really rule out a God? I don't think so. Of course this theory arose from the belief that there is no God, but it does not rule out an omnipotent God. So which of the two theories seems more plausible? As a devout Christian, I am not convinced by the theory in this video because it still leaves gaps.
God exists outside of space and time, so we cannot say that seven days for God are the same as seven days for humans. One of the Gospels even states that for God, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. Furthermore, I don’t think God is a God who wants to lead us astray, giving us methods to date objects that turn out to be inaccurate. God wants us to discover and study His creation. He doesn’t want us to believe in Him first to understand how the world was created. He wants us to understand how the world was created, and in doing so, come to believe in Him, because the most logical explanation for creation is a Creator.
It may be that the dating of rocks and bones etc is not 100% reliable, but we have found bones, like dinosaur bones, that don't fit into the creation story of the Bible, yet these bones are here and they obviously don't belong to a being that is still alive because they are far too big. So how did the bones come to earth? Were there dinosaurs and if so, when? In the last 6000 years? Then why are they no longer alive? Why is there nothing in the Bible about gigantic lizards?
If everything written in Genesis really happened exactly as described, then there should be something about dinosaurs in it. This scientist has a good point when he says that death and suffering only came into the world after the Fall. And this world, as we know it through the theory of evolution, has been marked by death and suffering from the very beginning. Therefore, the theory of evolution cannot be correct. That’s definitely true, but Genesis also states that after the Fall, Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, or from Paradise. This means the Garden of Eden cannot have been on this earth. Could it be that Adam and Eve first lived in Paradise and were then banished to this earth?
How did God create the world then? If the world was created 6,000 years ago, He would have had to create everything with a snap of His fingers. One moment, there’s nothing; the next moment, everything is as we know it. That’s not how I imagine God as a Creator. As we see today, every new creation is a process of development. A new tree doesn’t just appear out of nowhere; it must grow from a seed. A baby doesn’t simply pop into existence in the womb; it undergoes an entire process of development. And as Christians, we believe that a man and a woman in marriage have the honor of participating in creation, of being co-creators, and thus bringing forth new life.
When I look at creation today, and see that new life is born daily with all the children being born, the theory of a young earth seems less plausible to me than the theory of evolution. This kind of creation described in the Bible doesn’t align with the image of God we know. God is someone who takes His time to bring creation to completion. He never created anything out of nothing with a snap of His fingers. Everything He has created has gone through a process of development, and we can observe this in creation today. That’s why the theory of evolution seems more plausible to me than this other theory. The seven days of creation should only be understood symbolically.
We either believe the bible or we dont. He didn’t even have to snap His fingers. He spoke.
That’s exactly how it happened lol… He created Adam as a man from dust… He’s God. He can do whatever He wants however He wants. I would say that it wouldn’t be very awe-inspiring if God could only create things in a manner most similar to how we see things happening today.

Thank you for pointing out that the age of the earth IS a gospel issue. I hear so many Christians say the opposite without ever really thinking about it
yet they still believe the earth is a ball flying through space rotating around the sun.
I am a Christian and believe that God created as described in the Bible, not through evolution as some Christians believe. I will detail my thoughts here because they may help others realize that there had to be a creator and that macro evolution is not plausible.
The evolutionary claim is that evolution needs a tremendous amount of time to create life at all at then a change in kinds because the changes that might occur at any point in time would be improbable (today we see minor changes within species happening very infrequently) and tiny. If all one is thinking about is that to get cumulatively big changes from many incrementally small changes, one will naturally conclude that we need much time. But there is a fly in the ointment.
The theory of evolution has the problem of living organisms with relatively short lifespans and which can't wait long periods of time for all parts to evolve--certainly no longer than their lifespan but realistically no longer than a few minutes since life can't exist at all without all parts. But even inanimate objects can pose a problem. Mousetraps, for example and if they could evolve, would rust and rot, leading to degradation of quality and functionality while waiting for all parts to evolve.
Organisms don't live forever, and skeletons with blood (heart, blood vessels, and the blood itself) can't wait even a generation let alone millions of years for the next bodily system (nervous, respiratory, muscular, endocrine, urinary, immune, digestive, or the integumentary system with skin, sweat glands and more) to evolve. Even one generation is far too much time because you can't have a skeleton with blood for any period of time let alone a whole generation. Life does not occur at all if you have only a few parts. You need ALL PARTS AT ONCE!!!
Sexual reproduction in living organisms adds another layer of complexity partly because reproduction has to happen in a period of time shorter than the lifespan of the organism in order for the continuation of the species (in humans, within about a 30-year period) and because two organisms (male and female) in the same species have to evolve complementary systems/organs within a short enough period of time (not millions of years) for the species to survive. In fruit flies with a lifespan of about 40-50 days, that window of opportunity shrinks substantially. Not only that, but there are many types of sexual reproduction (e.g., bees, birds, frogs, and fish) so one can't say that the miraculously chance event had to happen only once and then was carried into all other organisms.
I have a garden, and I see infrequent micro changes happen over the years (leaf shape or color on a couple of plants), but these kinds of changes only create variation within that kind of plant (e.g., citrus or fig tree) and don't result in macro evolution. The changes are also not rapid enough to account for the initial organism coming into existence (with all parts and systems and the incredibly complex DNA code/program evolving before the organism dies and to evolve quickly enough to enable life at all) or for the creation of a totally different type of organism. Darwin himself said that incremental micro changes (better and better, more and more) over a supremely long period of time (e.g., bird beaks changing in shape and size over a generation) might create macro evolution. But as we see above, time does not work in evolution's favor.
Additionally, that DNA code (like a computer program) had to come first before even a single part of an organism means that natural selection through an organism with many parts could not have been what birthed the code--neither instantly nor over millions of years. But for DNA to exist at all (without intelligence/design/order/code/programming ability is impossible as it is needed to create the various parts of the cell), the cell''s nucleus would already have to have existed. And the only way for both nucleus and DNA to have existed at same time is through a creator. Frank Turek (not that I agree with everything he has said) gave a great example of how an outside force can overcome the laws of physics: the strength of a human arm can lift something from low to high, countering gravity. (In the same way, we see limitation after limitation in the natural world that only a creator's power and intelligence could overcome.)

Let's just take a moment to talk about the Big Bang Theory, which most who believe in evolution also believe in the Big Bang. Please stick around until the end if you want to learn some things that proves science surrounding this subject doesn't know what it's talking about, and even directly contradicts itself in a lot of ways. This in no way is meant to stir and argument, and if you disagree, or see that I made a mistake, feel free to let me know - I value the truth just as much as the next man, so an open discussion on my incorrectness would only mean that I am learning something new. This will be a long one, but I will keep it interesting and informative for those who can stand to read.
For starters, what is the Big Bang? Well, it was not two subatomic particles that collided causing the endless expanse that we know as the universe. Evolutionists and Big Bang theorists say that "energy" accumulated at a point somewhere in space where it was so dense and hot that it began to expand rapidly - thus the name, "Big Bang". The contradiction here is that, scientists suggest that the Big Bang happened and then the universe was created, yet the the "energy" could only have accumulated if at one point is was not accumulated. To be blunt, that implies that the universe had to already exist, and that this "energy" was already moving around the universe in order for an accumulation of "energy" to take place. But wait, it gets better - or worse, depending on what you believe.
The next issue you run into is, why is there such diversity in every plant we've ever seen, in every living creature we ever discovered, in every human who walks/has walked on the earth? How could it be possible that the same micro-organisms created such diversity? Well, you'll first want to understand what DNA is, as it is the thing that separates each living creature into its own species. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains genetic information for the development, growth, reproduction, and functioning of all life. In this way, and this way alone, are humans and animals similar - there is nothing other than the need for food and water, reproduction, growth and basic functions such as breathing that connects humans and animals. Saying that humans share 90% DNA with apes does not mean that we came from apes, it simply means that apes require a lot of the things that humans also require in order to survive. It's as they say, a beach ball can float like a boat, but you can't use them both for the same purpose.... depending on how big the boat is, or how many beach balls you have.
Ridiculous analogies aside, lets talk about water molecules during the Big Bang. Let's start by imagining a pot of water sitting on a stove that is set to the highest temperature. Eventually that water will be vaporized into a gaseous state where it will then condensate until enough of it has accumulated causing it to rain because the water molecules become too heavy to be sustained in the sky. However, that only works on Earth, because space doesn't have an atmosphere, oxygen, nor gravity, so condensation and precipitation are not possible in space - only evaporation is. Keeping this in mind, stars emit unfathomable amounts of heat, and even in space this heat can not only vaporize water molecules, but out right destroy it entirely, as well as anything else that it comes into contact with. Sure, maybe it is practical to suggest that the water vaporized into a gaseous form, and then got to where it is now via condensation, and precipitation as it entered the earth's atmosphere. The issue being with this next question though... how come this "energy", which scientists actually suggest was 18 billion degrees Fahrenheit, which is hotter than anything humans could imagine, didn't destroy every living organism and all the water where the organisms had to be in order to survive? I'm not the arbiter of all things that are true and false, but that does not add up. Perhaps it's just me, or someone got a significant portion of their information wrong. It doesn't end there though.
A fun science fact to send you through a loop about water in space is, water will rapidly boil away in space because the lack of air pressure. The lower the air pressure, the lower the heat required to boil water. You can verify this by boiling water at sea level, and then doing the same on top of Mt. Everest - you will observe that the heat required to boil the water is reduced. But wait, lets let science contradict science, because in the last 30 years massive bodies of water have been discovered floating in space. No, not just here and there... everywhere... No, not the gaseous form, the liquid form. A recently discovered, but far from the only, body of water in space scientists estimate to be 140 trillion times more than that of the total water on Earth. This very discovery would suggest that water does not vaporize rapidly, if at all, as we would see water in the gaseous form, not its liquid form. While it is possible for some, and I mean slim to none, water to be found in space as space is not a perfect vacuum with 0 air pressure, with the scientific facts that we know, more than 98% of that body of water discovered in space would not actually exist in the form that it is in.
Here is where you add insult to injury - and while it might not be a contradiction, it certainly is notable on how much, or should I say little, most scientists actually comprehend the universe we live in, and should expand on how much they just make up and sell to people. They're saying that this body of water is 12 billion years old. That's right, 12,000,000,000 years old. Surely, everyone who actually ends up reading this has at one point heard of Carbon Dating. This is the process in which scientists claim they can measure the age of something without knowing when its origin was, and they do so by measuring the amount of carbon 14 (C-14) in any given object that contains organic material - yes, they also can do this to water by extracting the carbonates of the water. Coincidentally, this body of water happens to be billions of light years away. This would imply they actually travelled to the body of water, collected samples, and actually tested it. We all know full-well nobody ever did that. Even if they were on their way to do it, it would take billions of years in science's own logic before they could get close enough to touch the water, but then, likely billions of more years to send that information back to earth.
A fun fact about carbon dating is that, even scientists suggest that carbon dating does not work on anything older than 20,000 years old, nor is it effective against non-organic materials. All the while, other scientists suggest that carbon dating works for up to 55,000 year old organic material - this is because the C-14 has already underwent 9 half lives in which the C-14 is not able to be properly tested due to there not being enough of it. So we see an endless spree of inconsistencies amongst all scientists on the subject of carbon dating. Clearly, if scientists are using the same process to carbon date something and constantly come up with different answers, the logical conclusion is that carbon dating is worse than just inaccurate and unreliable. If you think that's crazy, a scientist could claim that a rock is hundreds of thousands of years old, all the while having zero basis because the inconsistent carbon dating process does not work on rocks.
I don't claim to be a genius, in fact, I am just a normal dude who went through the same indoctrination program that we call school as most of you did, but from what I have learned in school on the subject, and applying common sense to a lot of the things mentioned above - none of it adds up. That's because it was made up. I do not deny all science, as I actually agree with quite a bit of science, but I will always reject the scientists who go out of their way to contradict God, because, as mentioned above, (which doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of the matter) scientists make up baseless points and arguments that a lot of people just take at face value without even looking into it themselves. If those people would look into it, and then put their thought into it, they will also find various contradictions, inconsistencies, and flat out made up nonsense like the ones I have mentioned.

Umm no. There was no space, and in fact, at this point no one really knows how the Singularity came into being. It is all conjecture. It was super hot and it was condensed energy. It did expand. As it did, space came into being.
"The next issue you run into is, why is there such diversity in every plant we've ever seen, in every living creature we ever discovered, "
The Theory of Evolution explains this. Not sure why you think it an issue.
"Saying that humans share 90% DNA with apes"
We share a huge amount of mistakes and broken genes with apes. (we are apes btw)
"lets talk about water molecules during the Big Bang."
There were none. In fact, molecules of any sort did not appear for a very long time. Water was not possible for millions and millions of years.
You seem to have missed the fact that there a great many different temperatures happening in various parts of space. Extremely high temps and extremely low ones. Not sure why you think water cannot form- in gas, liquid and solid forms. Fun extra fact, many planets have atmospheres.
Carbon dating is not, by any means, the only dating method. As you say, it is accurate within a very limited range. Why are you citing it?
Maybe you have some killer arguments. None of this lot fit that category.
Thank you for writing this.
@AGuyNamedMarcus Fun fact. The Theory says that the only space that existed was at the point of the Singularity. It wasn't at a point in space. Space was at that point. All of it. Since the expansion, space has been expanding.

It is certainly hard to get yr head around. That same space is expanding even as we speak. And the expansion is accelerating. We tend to think of space as nothing and at the same time we think of it as everything. However physics has shown space is weirdly a "fabric" we call the space/ time continuum. It expands, it is bent by mass (gravity) and time is absolutely linked to space as well.
And, as far as we can tell, there is nothing our expanding universe is expanding into.

Brother Harwood revealed in his journey of understanding the absolute truth of the Biblical account of creation, one of the very important ministries of the Holy Spirt in the lives of believers. When presented with devine truth, the HS makes it real to our souls. The brother heard the truth, and it just clicked for him.
Okay. This is quite helpful. But there’s still one argument that I can’t find a way to overcome. It’s an argument that Bill Nye made in debate against Ken Ham, and this is the argument. It’s how they see the yearly additions of layers when they take ice cores. Or tree rings. If you could solve those two for me, that would be swell! Lol
Trees can produce more than one ring per year. Each tree ring is produced by seasons of drought, or heavy rain. Ice layers can form many layers per year also.
Can you find an ice core or tree ring that goes back a billion years???
Glacial Girl. There a few P-38 Lightenings landed in Greenland during WW2.
In the 1990s ateam searched for the aeroplanes and made what should have correct calculations based on the ideas contemporary regarding how long it takes for the snow and ice to cover the aircraft, how far under the surface and their co-ordinates.
The estimated depth was about several metres.
Where the found the aircraft was a few miles off from the estimated distance and more striking was the depth, which was about 270+ feet.
Using the conventional ideas about Greenland ice layers would have meant these planes had landed centuries earlier, based on the depth alone. So there has to be a rethink as to how to interpret the Greenland ice layers. Layers do not indicate years or even change of season. In fact multiple layers can form over weeks with slight variations in temperature, a storm, wind direction changes and so forth. The surprised the scientists in the labs in mainland universities but not locals.

Creationists have long rejected scientific dating methods. Then the shroud of Turin was dated to about 2,000 years old and suddenly they love scientific dating methods.
As far as I could ascertain, the shroud has never been dated earlier than about 800 years old.
@@stevepierce6467 Then you haven’t looked far enough. There are several RUclips videos relating to new evidence that shows the shroud is much closer to the time of Jesus than previously thought. The 800 years you talk of was from 1988 but it was discovered that the fibres used were part of a repair dating from about 800:years ago. More recent wide angle x-ray scattering tests on original cloth indicate the shroud to be much older than previous radiocarbon dating suggested. Also, other biological evidence, not related to radiation dating techniques, supports a date more in line with the time of Jesus.

Great show. I just found your channel! God bless
Excellent. I recent found this site and really love it!!
I don't think he's listening close enough to what he's saying.When God said after creation that everything was good, did he say, '' except for the radioactive elements which are actually in a state of decay? He's arguing for the necessity of Christ that death and decay did not exist before sin, yet the only problem he has with radiometric dating is the rate of decay?. Walt Brown has a very good argument against radiometric decay in the beginning as a part of creation. It's simple. It didn't happen until the flood. We can now, in a lab, through pressure and electric charge, alter the proton count and change one element into another where it then begins a rate of decay that can be measured in millions of years (I may be off on the exact process, it's been a while). Earth's crust is composed of , I think, 70% quartz which has a massive amount of stored electrical potential, the same electricity that lights your bbq when you press a button and a small hammer hits a piece of quartz and releases some of that stored energy in the form of a small lightening bolt. Now think about an ocean of water on top of all this quartz during Noah's flood with an electrical storm being activated in the ground below , the same process we can influence proton count with in laboratory's today. This seems to be the best explanation to me. For the record I'm not a scientist and my explanation may have many mistakes, or exclusions, but to me this was the only way I could explain it. Great video thank you.
There's a misconception here relating to the naming of terms: It seems you're saying that radioactive *decay* must necessarily be a _bad_ thing because it includes the word *decay* . But this is not the case. It's just the name that has been given to a scientific process of change in (non-living) things. (By way of analogy, it would be a bit like calling gravity a _bad_ process because it makes things *fall* , and falling is bad, right? E.g. people 'fall' into sin, Satan 'fell', etc. But this is clearly a bad argument.) Just because a process has 'decay' in it's (English) name doesn't ncesessarily mean it's a _bad_ process in and of itself.
That said, I don't think there is any place in the video where Dr Harwood explicitly says (or refers to) radioactive decay happening between Creation and the Fall?
Regarding Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory, we have an in-depth analysis of this on our site: creation.com/hydroplate-theory
Also, see: creation.com/hydroplate-theory-difficulties
I think Walter Brown has the best explanation of the Genesis flood and the world as we see it today. Adding a canopy of ice would explain the waters above the firmament and the windows of heaven in the Genesis account. And can also scientifically explain other things like giant plants which can be duplicated in hyperbaric chambers with increased co2, giant insects could not fly or breathe in today's atmosphere and venomous critters with thermal detection and ranging couldn't possibly be called "good", and may have been medicinal and able to detect inflammation heat in the preflood conditions. I don't think there was rain or rainbows before the flood either.
@@creationministriesintl Sure but radioactive elements damage our cells. Hardly something , it would seem, God would call good. I read the in depth analysis, and I am merely speaking of the beginning of radioactive elements. The gravity scenario seems to be somewhat of a equivocation fallacy. Gravity is constant and doesn't decay. So you really have two things to explain now. Why decaying material was part of creation week, and now you must explain why for us Christians it is okay to inject our own presupposition on the rate of decay which differs from known empirical observation. If the answer is, "it must be because the age of the earth is young", your argument is no better than the evolutionist when they say we know evolution is true because we exist. I do appreciate however, your ministry and in particular the helium dating process which, correct me if I'm wrong, was developed my a team from CMI?
The canopy theory was once popular, but has been rejected-with good reason-by informed creationists for a long time now. (In fact, it has long been on our list of 'Argumetns we thin creationists should NOT use' - creation.com/arguments-we-think-creationists-should-not-use#canopy ) I'm sure you'll be interested to read some reasoning: creation.com/vapour-canopy-problems
Also we think it most likely that there were both rain and rainbows before the Flood (and this is totally compatible with the relevant Bible texts). For reasoning, see: creation.com/rainbows-and-the-flood
Actually the problem is with the translation of the Hebrew word, "YOM". Yom is translated as "day" but it really is a period of time. It is sort of like the English word, "day". If I say, " The day of the dinosaur," I am speaking of a period of time when there were dinosaurs. In some parts of the Bible, YOM is translated as "Eternity". Unless you think we will live for only one day after death, and resurrection, this is a problem. This entire testimony is off because of a bad translation of old Hebrew. The Bible actually lines up well with science when the words, like YOM, are translated correctly, This video is suspect because two people that believe the same thing discussing the topic. Not a real exchange of ideas, but coming from an assumption that the world is 6000 years old and trying to prove it.

If I could ask him a question, it would be concerning star light and why, if creation is as young as he believes, we see light from stars many millions of light-years away? I would assume if I see light from a star 10 million light years away, that light had to have begun its journey 10 million years ago.
I suppose one could say God created the light from these stars continuous with long distances, essentially stretching light out so that man can see this part of his creation.
The speed of light and its impact on time is relative. It is possible that the light we see from far distances does actually reflect millions of years at the outskirts of the universe

Agreed. It was amazing how much Mark Harwood, who has a Ph.D in antenna design/computers suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect believing that he alone knows more about all the different methods of radiometric dating and sedimentation rates, tree rings, ice cores, geologic strata etc than every single expert in the field of geology, biology, and basically every single field of science that uses this technique. He must think that the oil/gas industry that uses evolutionary theory to prospect for new hydrocarbon deposits must be all pure luck and/or Satanic magic. Or perhaps he should be out protesting NASA's Mars rovers (and helicopter) whose missions depend on millions of years worth of erosion and mineral deposits in an ancient lake?

33:37 I guess I don’t understand this notion of rock dating, so maybe someone can clarify - if a rock formed out of lava from Mt Saint Helens 50 years ago and they radiometrically date the rock - wouldn’t we expect it’s age to reflect the age of the lava itself and not the age of when it happened to spew forth and solidify from the eruption? I mean couldn’t that lava been flowing around underneath for a lot longer before it was forced up?
Yes that's exactly why dates read the way they do. Also using the proper method for the information you want to find.
No. It depends on what method we are using. With Potassium Argon for example, the theory is that all the argon as a gas would have boiled out of the lava so that the clock resets when it solidifies. However, we also know that not all the argon boils out in many cases. Thus, this is one reason why many of these dating methods don't work. All these methods depend on many unknown assumptions. The point is this: if in almost every instance when we test rocks of known ages, we get the wrong dates, what makes you think that it would work on rocks of known ages. If the method doesn't work, then all the supposed millions of years from these methods cannot be trusted too.
@@creationministriesintlwhat is the Christian method for measuring the age of a rock again?? I think geology especially in the petroleum industry have been really precise and accurate at finding oil based off evolution and ancient seabed vs whatever Christianity offered. Just because a dating method isn’t perfect doesn’t mean that the science or theory is incorrect. The only thing that solves for less precise, less accurate science is more science. The Bible has no method to validate any scientific claim so it’s even worse than whatever method we have today for science. I work in metrology, I can assure every scientific tool used in measuring the material work world doesn’t rely on Bible history or any human history. But you claiming that the method is wrong because one particular measurement has negative results doesn’t negate all of geological science.
@@creationministriesintl, And how do you come up with the 6000 years old earth, just the Bible or there are evidence linking to it?
@@warrenbuffett920 we date back to 2200-2250BC ish to Noah based on genealogical evidence based on the Bible, and current DNA mutation between father and son tracking does line up with this genetic evidence. If we assume the Flood to have happened at this time, we would be able to show that soft tissue can be preserved under this timeframe, as opposed to millions of years where it is impossible to have happened (we find soft tissue in layers that are 450 million years old, which goes against empirical understanding of soft tissue). Catastrophic as the Flood was, it would have suddenly buried animals in the middle of normal actions, such as eating, giving birth, and the fossil record does reflect on this.
Praise the Lord Jesus! I’ve been saying this for years! I completely agree with you and the Bible! Great to hear a scientists say this. I love you guys !
Summary: " the earth can't be old because my theological presuppositions won't allow it. Now from that premise let me explain how I reinterpret all the data".
Potassium-argon dating - The half-life of potassium-40 is 1.3 billion years, far longer than that of carbon-14, allowing much older samples to be dated.

This is what happens when you read Gen 1 through a modern materialist ontology rather than an ancient functional or phenomenological ontology. It was not written to explain how the world was made, but why.
Right but it still tells you how it was made ..and when
Genesis' creation myth is a relatively young myth that copied from other much older myths from Mesopotamia that were two to three thousand years older. Written probably around the time attributed to Moses around 1500 BCE, it's a newer version of lore that passed around that region for millenia. The Jews just packaged their own version of it.
@@jimralston4789 no that’s just error.. basically everyone believed in young earth until Darwin era
@@ryanesau8147 I never said anything contrary to that. Yes people in the west believed it because Christianity was pretty much universal.
What I'm saying is that the Bible is not even close to being the original source of these ideas about creation. There were similar versions of the creation story from the Sumerians, Egyptians, and other previous civilizations since almost 4000 BC. The Bible is ancient so it gets some kind of stature in the minds of Christians for being the first religion to create this unique story of creation, but it's not unique in any way. It's a simple creation myth that copied from other religions much more ancient. The Sumerians wrote that "the heavens and earth were separated" in their creation story a thousand years before the Bible. In the Bible before the heavens and earth were separated God existed, and in the Sumerian version, their gods existed too.
Finally the Flood story of Genesis is a total copy of the Eridu Genesis of Sumeria written a millenia before the Bible. In that myth, the gods are angered and flood the earth but instruct Ziusudra to build an ark for his family to survive. After the flood, the gods are regretful and reward Ziusudra with immortality. In the Bible, God is regretful and makes a covenant with Noah promising never to do that again. The Jews added their own twists to previous myths, the main one being that theirs was a monotheistic religion.
@@jimralston4789 bottom line the bible is the truth on creation and flood account. It is backed not only by the most manuscripts thsn any other version, its older and Jesus the Son of God completely verifies its accuracy..in fact He was the Creator that built it.
