The following series of posts are my brief answer to this question. Today I share with you part 3 of my answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In conclusion, there are many things that could be said about modern science and what earth geology may or may not tell us about the age of the earth. But one thing is for certain, modern science does not regard Scripture as a reliable historical source of information and thereby neglects to address the many issues of history that the Bible does clearly speak to: 1) the reality that a global flood happened around 4500 years ago that altered the planets geology and ecology in a catastrophic way. 2) Adam and Eve were the first two humans, thus making man\u2019s fossil record is no older than 6,000 years according to the genealogy of the Bible. 3) God created every living creature according to its own kind (the study of Baraminology). This makes the evolutionary claim of a \u2018tree\u2019 of common descent – starting from a single celled organism to what we see today – completely untenable. All of this simply means that the modern scientific \u2018evidence\u2019 for an old earth has presupposed the wrong starting points and is therefore completely unreliable to tell us the age of the created universe.<\/p>\n

Given my argumentation above, I believe that a strong case can be made for a Biblical understanding of the creation of the universe as taking place in six 24-hours days and having occurred roughly 6,000 years ago. I commend this three part series as food for thought as you continue to study the Scriptures and submit yourself to God’s worldview.<\/p>\n
