Why Age of the Earth Matters

Before we start with details, science and “facts” regarding support for Creation, we all need to understand why refuting evolution is so important. Genesis clearly states that creation happened during the first 6 days of the Creation Week. Authors in both the Old and New Testaments supported Creation Week as 7 literal days. Jesus confirmed the creation account of Genesis. Additionally, the genealogy of Genesis testifies to the earth being about 6000 years old.

I am sure you have all heard the following questions and maybe even asked them yourselves. Why does the age of the earth matter at all? Why does a literal Creation Week matter? Why are we talking about dinosaurs in Church? Wouldn’t it be better to just focus on Jesus and the Gospel?

Earth age is vital because evolution is a direct attack on the credibility of God’s Word. If evolution were true, sin and death entered the world millions of years before Adam and Eve. If evolution were true, sin did not enter the world through Adam as the Bible states. Which means Jesus can’t pay the price for that sin on our behalf. If evolution were true, the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation could not be trusted. The trust in the Bible as the Word of God is what evolution supporters have tried to destroy. 

The story of evolution and millions of years is so pervasive in our society. Christians must start defending the Bible and publicly opposing evolution. This is where SevenDay Apologetics comes in. Did you know evolution theory is always changing? Why you might wonder? The answer is simple. New technologies allow for new understanding and that understanding disproves the current version of evolution theory. So, a new theory must be dreamed up. The new theory is less believable than the prior one, so it takes more time to come “true”. Therefore, the alleged age of the earth keeps getting older (4.5 Billion years now) and any dating system that supports this older age is immediately accepted.

A short review seems to be in order. Understanding of genetics allows us to see Darwin’s famous finches prove speciation  and de-evolving. The finches are not evidence of evolution as he claimed. Fast formation of fossils, rock, oil and gems show millions of years was not required for their formation. We now understand fossils require rapid burial and not millions of years to form. Fast decaying soft tissue and proteins have been found in many Dinosaur bones. Mapping of DNA is near proof of our Creator. The list goes on and on for support of Creation and a young earth!

SevenDay Apologetics is here to give you the confidence to share a Biblical world view with others. Evolution has poisoned so many minds and caused so many to reject the Bible. We don’t need to live in the jungle to be missionaries. Lost souls are all around us and many lost their way due to a belief in evolution. The first step towards Christ requires a trust in the Bible as the Word of God.

I pray each of you will help restore God’s Word as Truth!
