The more we read from the works of evolutionary scientists, the more unimpressed we are with their conclusions. As almost everyone knows, the earth is supposed to be almost five billion years old, while man has only been around some three or four million years. These estimates are pure speculation based upon dating methods that are grounded in evolutionary assumptions. There is no hardcore test that can determine the age of the earth. Most people believe the evolutionary estimates simply because they accept what is presented in the media.
Several years ago, some scientists discovered human bones buried under thick deposits of mud in California. The bones were submitted to competent authorities who declared them to be about 75,000 years old. Unfortunately, however, as they dug deeper, they found an old United States Army button. Now, maybe the United States had an army 75,000 years ago — or just maybe the scientific dating methods are not all that reliable.
In more recent years, an archaeological excavation team, let by professor Mituo Kawaga of Beppu University, discovered drawings on the wall of a cave on the Japanese Island of Kyushu. The excited scientists announced that the drawings were from 10,000 to 13,000 years old. Alas, a lifelong resident of the area came forward to confess that he had often scribbled on the walls of the cave with charcoal when he was a boy. The scientist had only missed it by about 99.99%.
Why is it that when scientists say that something is billions of years old, the average person believes it as if the object had a date carved upon it? When Christians accept the dates which are part of the evolutionary system, they are playing right into the hands of infidelity.
