Radiometric Dating TechniquesA Carbon-14 Coincidence
3/7/2008 Why does the Moon have almost exactly the same apparent size in the sky as the Sun, so that it perfectly blocks out the Sun in a solar eclipse? A few weeks back I mentioned the benefits to scientific discovery provided by this coincidence. Avoiding a Dangerous Trap
1/1/1999 Have you ever wondered why most Christian astronomers reject a young-universe interpretation of Genesis? The answer has to do with Scripture and theology, as well as with science. In my book Creation and Time (not to be confused with the book by the same title subsequently produced by Van Bebber and Taylor), I state that the rules of biblical exegesis support long creation days, an old earth, and an even older universe.' If the creation periods are interpreted as six consecutive 24-hour days, other books of the Bible and other chapters of Genesis become contradictory. Continental Landmass Growth And The Genesis 1 Chronology
10/8/2007 Thanks to a spectacular new discovery concerning the geophysical history of the earth, one more detail in biblical author Moses’ chronology of Earth’s creation history has been scientifically verified. The breakthrough yields yet more evidence for the divine inspiration of the Bible’s words and message. First, let me offer some personal background for this discovery. Deep Core Tests For The Age Of The Earth
7/1/2005 The clash between young-earth and old-earth creationists can seem bewilderingly technical at times. Is there any easy-to-understand scientific data for determining whether Earth is young or old? Helium Diffusion In Zircon: A Response To Questions By The Rate Team
4/22/2009 Radiometric dating methods have long been disputed by young-earth creationists, and for good reason. Rock ages obtained by these dating methods, usually ranging from millions to billions of years, contradict contradict the notion of a 6,000-year-old earth. Historic Age Debate: Beginning Of Time
7/14/2008 Previously, we noted that the church has unanimously taught the doctrine of creation ex nihilo throughout its history (parts 1-4). This was considered fundamental doctrine and was even included in key creedal statements. The doctrine of creation ex nihilo does, however, have one curious implication: a beginning of time. In other words, if matter has a beginning (i.e., is not eternal) then shouldn’t time have a beginning as well? Historic Age Debate: Creation Ex Nihilo, Part 1 (of 4)
June 16, 2008 On October 2007, I began a TNRTB series discussing my research into how the church has understood Genesis 1 and the age of the earth throughout its history. The first two articles gave a quick overview of this topic (see “Overview,” part 1 and part 2). From here on, this series will focus on how earlier theologians interpreted specific Bible verses or wrestled with issues pertaining to the age of the earth. Historic Age Debate: Creation Ex Nihilo, Part 2 (of 4)
6/23/2008 The doctrine of creation ex nihilo (“creation out of nothing”) has been firmly and uniformly taught throughout church history and was declared in important creedal statements (detailed in part 1). To understand why this was such a vital doctrine, we need to first consider the contrasting view prevalent throughout the Greco-Roman world at the time of Christ. Historic Age Debate: Creation Ex Nihilo, Part 3 (of 4)
6/30/2008 The most important biblical doctrine related to creation is creation ex nihilo, which means “creation out of nothing.” This theologically fundamental belief was taught in important creedal statements [part 1]. It represents a clear line of demarcation between Christianity and Greek philosophy, which held that matter was eternal [part 2]. Historic Age Debate: Creation Ex Nihilo, Part 4 (of 4)
7/7/2008 Parts 1-3 of this series have documented the vital theological importance of the doctrine of creation ex nihilo (“creation out of nothing”). Now it is time to consider its impact on science. Three specific examples will be considered here. Introduction To The Creation-date Debate
2/17/2009 There are a wide variety of types of creationists in Christianity. By types we mean different interpretations of the days in Genesis. Two overarching views are young-earth and old-earth creationism. Reasons to Believe and others have shown (see links within this article) that it and others believe young-earthism is not the literal interpretation of Genesis and is wrought with interpretational and scientific problems. This article will attempt to introduce readers to this position and why we believe it is valid. New Date For First Aussies.svg.thumbnail.png)
4/1/2004 Australia, do we have a problem? It may seem so, or at least it did a few years ago. The RTB creation model places the creation of humanity at roughly 50,000 years ago, with the spread of peoples and civilization outward from Mesopotamia some time after that, but probably no earlier than 30,000 years ago. Radiometric Dating - A Christian Perspective
1/1/2002 Dr. Wiens has a PhD in Physics, with a minor in Geology. His PhD thesis was on isotope ratios in meteorites, including surface exposure dating. He was employed at Caltech’s Division of Geological & Planetary Sciences at the time of writing the first edition. He is presently employed in the Space & Atmospheric Sciences Group at the Los Alamos National Responses To Young Universe "answers"
1/1/1999 Those who hold the young universe view have offered the following statements to answer questions about this theory. After each statement is a response. Sun May Influence Nuclear Decay Rates– Big Deal Or Not For Age Debate?
February 1, 2011 Radioisotope dating techniques have long provided evidence for Earth’s (and the universe’s) antiquity. Yet a recent study hints that activity deep inside the Sun may influence the decay rates of some radioisotopes. The Dynamics Of Dating
1/1/1996 Bewildered, Janet watches her son gaze in awe at the dinosaur exhibit. A sign tells her that the Tyrannosaurus Rex is millions of years old. But last Sunday, her Bible teacher stated emphatically that God made Earth only six thousand years ago. The confusion over dates makes her stomach churn. The age assigned to the fossils in front of her seems to contradict the creation account, and Janet’s heartbeats accelerate at the implication. Is Earth young or old? If old, did that mean the Bible is wrong? Or could science be wrong? And what is she going to tell her son? The Usefulness Of Carbon 14
1/1/1998 RTB's correspondence team is asked repeatedly to explain methods for dating the age of the universe and earth. The most frequent question has to do with the reliability of carbon 14 dating. Radiometric Dating TechniquesA STARtling Discovery: A Nearly Metal-Free Star

Price: $15.95 The length of time represented by the word "day" sparks a storm of controversy. Lightning strikes and thunder roars with questions at the core of the debate: A Question of Age
Price: $39.95 Did God create the heavens and earth in six 24-hour days or in millions of years? Many biblical and scientific facets of this question were discussed in a face-to-face meeting of young- and old-earth scientists. The conference was presented by First Evangelical Free Church of Fullerton. Speakers include Hugh Ross, Fazale Rana, Jason Lisle and Larry Vardiman. A question-and-answer session, moderated by Craig Hazen of Biola University followed the individual talks. Four DVD Set (367 minutes, published 2006), 07 oz. Creation and Time (Japanese)
Price: $15.00 Hugh Ross looks closely at one of the most commonly held beliefs among Christians and non-Christians alike: that science and Scripture contradict one another about the age of the earth and how the universe began. After a look back to the beginning of the science-faith conflict, Dr. Ross explores what the early church fathers believed, what the biblical texts indicate, and what the scientific data tell us regarding the age of the universe. He concludes with a strategy for peaceful resolution of what has become an emotionally-charged battle. Level: All readers The Great Debate on Science and the Bible
Price: $39.95 Plays in all DVD players (Region Code 0) Mr. Ken Ham and Dr. Jason Lisle (representing the Young Earth view), and Dr. Hugh Ross and Dr. Walter Kaiser (representing the Day-Age view) debate the following questions on the John Ankerberg Show: The John Ankerberg Debate: Young-Earth vs. Old-Earth
Price: $24.95 Plays in all DVD players (Region Code 0) In a rare debate appearance, Hugh Ross presents and defends the biblical basis for believing that the earth is a few billions (not thousands) of years old.
