Lesson 8/16: Geology and Earth History

While the Christian community is divided over the age of the earth, the scientific community unanimously accepts the evidence for a 4.5 billion-year old earth. Why are there absolutely no secular scientists investigating the claim that the earth was recently created in its present form? How well does young-earth science work in the laboratory and in the field? And what should we be teaching our covenant children when it comes to geology and earth history?

Wonderful series!! I'm a geologist and work for gas drilling companies in the Northeast US. Young Earth 'geology' has no place in the field, as it explains nothing and only offers more questions than it gives answers.

Thanks again for the series, I will definitely recommend it to friends!

@Dchellberg at least it is a start for a christian to accept modern science and he is refuting the creationist... very good videos.

@glovergj Wow, a lot of the arguments you use against YEC are arguments I use against people who claim God must exist such as adding more problems than fixing current ones. I respect many deists because they have reasons philosophically they think make God the best hypothesis given what they know but they don't claim God must exist and poor creationist claims of design implies a designer and your sin causes you not to see God. I wish more Christians had the deists humility.

I thought you'd deal with the fact that there's no erotion nor inclination in the strata unless it comes from up to down (as shown in the picture behind you)

...the other exception are the unconformities, but then again, they are evidence of catastrophism

ps: nice vocabulary :)

@richardaberdeen:.....LOL you're an idiot.

Wow I love this! I have but one question, if the bible can't get facts about this world right why should I believe what it has to say about the next (or if there is one)

[Alvinladen]

the problem w/ most christians is they think that the bible states that the world is created w/ just 6 literal 24hrs/day. read again the genesis. it never claimed that the world was created in 6 literal days. the word "day" is just used to separate the phases of creation.

I would really love to see you delve more into the debunking of flood geology.

@richardaberdeen Because its true, applicable in real life, helps man kind, gets the next generation of medicine at your hospital? Gives you the ability to create bullshit at your keyboard?

@glovergj Unfortunatley there ae plenty of these guys around... Good job by the way glover, well done!
