Evolution Irritation Site Young Earth Theory

First, lets establish some dates for reference:
EVOLUTION: "Big Bang"=20 billion yr. ago; Earth "formed"=4.5 billion yr. ago; Dinosaurs extinct = 65 million years ago. The supposed scenario that "man developed long after the dinosaurs"
CREATION: 10-6000 yr. ago; The Flood = 4,400 yr. ago; Dinosaurs extinct = The Flood or even after.
REAL SCENARIO: Many dragons roamed the earth even until several hundred years ago, and even today there are still water dragons alive, not to speak even of Komodo dragons and how about the crocodiles. Man and Dragons CO-EXISTED!

THE LIMITING AGE FACTOR
If a sunken ship had a treasure chest full of old coins, and the youngest coin was made in 1720, when did the ship sink? It sank some time after 1720. The limiting factor is the youngest evidence. So it is with the Earth--regardless of how old some things might look, if there is any evidence relating to the origin that CAN'T be that old, then that is the determining factor.
If there is anything about the origins of the Earth or Universe that cannot be billions of years old, then none of the rest can be older than the youngest factor, regardless of how old it looks. But is there any scientific indications that the Earth/Universe is and can't be billions of years old? Yes! Read on!
The physical Universe declares the Glory of God! --Ps.14:1. With the advent of LASERS and ATOMIC CLOCKS, measurements of time, size and distance are far more accurate than ever before. Did you know that...?:

THE SUN IS GETTING SMALLER.
It burns off 5 million tons per second!! That means it used to be...BIGGER! 6,000 years ago (Creation) is no problem! But 70 million years ago?--that's when evolution claims that there were still dinosaurs and many other life-forms. But million of years ago, the Sun would have been too close to the Earth! No life, not even germs or viruses (forget dinosaurs!) would have been possible! Also, INCREASED GRAVITY would have meant that even the planets could not exist except in far, far more distant orbits.--More problems for Evolution. Because, as the Sun decreased to its present size, the planets would not have been pulled in to smaller orbits, but due to less gravity from the Sun, their speed would have spun them in ever-widening orbits until they drifted off into space.

THE MOON IS MOVING FURTHER AWAY. (2-3 inches per year.)
That means that it used to be...CLOSER! If the Moon is 6,000 years old there is no problem. But 70 million years ago? The Moon affects the tides, and the closer it gets, the greater the gravity! ( Gravity increases by the "inverse square"--meaning if you half the distance you quadruple the gravity.) Only a few million years ago the Moon would've been close enough to cause the tides to drown the entire surface of the Earth--twice a day! And, as everybody knows, you can only drown properly once a day! Ha!

THE EARTH'S ROTATION IS SLOWING DOWN.
You've heard of Leap Year but not everybody knows about Leap Second! (No joke!) Every 10 months the scientific community sets the clock back one second. (Atomic clocks are very picky!) The Earth is presently spinning at a speed of 1046.6 miles per hour at the equator. If the Earth is slowing down, that means it used to be going ...FASTER! If the Earth is 6,000 years old like the Bible says, that's no problem. But 4.5 billion years old? 70 million years ago the Earth would've been spinning too fast for life to exist! If we believe what Evolution teaches, that the Dinosaurs went extinct around 70 million years ago... they didn't die off by that imfamous stray aisteroid, they were thrown off into outer space! That's where they went, and there wouldn't be any skeletons either! Ha!

THE EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD IS GETTING WEAKER.
We're slowly losing it. Of course, if it is getting weaker, that means that it used to be ... STRONGER! 6,000 years ago is still no problem. But if you go back only a few million years, it would've been too strong for life to exist.

MAGNETIC FIELD AND CARBON DATING
By the way, the declining magnetic field is one of the things that explains why carbon dating doesn't work! Because more C-14 is being formed today than it was 6,000 years ago and thus more radiation gets through to us now than it did then because the magnetic field is weaker today than it was then. Thus, every old thing judged by today's amounts of radiation will appear even older than it actually is. One other thing that can block out C-14 is water, and if you read Genesis you find that there used to be a cloud-covering over the whole Earth ("the waters above the firmament [sky]") that came down during the Flood. After it came down, not only was there more C-14 but also more ultra-violet rays which cause us to age faster and thus die sooner!

JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS, NEPTUNE, PLUTO ARE COOLING OFF.
( Two times faster than the Sun can heat them!) If the Solar System is 6,000 years old, then all those planets are in a scientifically justifiable condition. But if the Solar System is 4.5 billion years old, they should have been dead cold a long time ago.

SATURN'S RINGS ARE EXPANDING.
If Evolution is true, those rings would've been gone by now.

THE SEA IS GETTING SALTIER EACH YEAR.
After 6,000 years, it doesn't seem odd that the salt is at its present level. But millions of years? Or a billion years? The salt levels should at least be a lot more than 3.6%!

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF IS GROWING.
After a 20 year study of the coral formations of the Great Barrier Reef, all the measurements were gathered and it was found that the reef was growing at an average rate that indicated it was about 4,200 years old! According to Bible chronology, that means it began to grow shortly after the Flood, 4,400 years ago, when the water level changed! This doesn't seem strange at all. But, if Evolution is true, the reef should reasonably be expected to be much older and bigger! Very much older & bigger!

UNDERGROUND OIL DEPOSITS ARE UNDER GREAT PRESSURE.
20,000 pounds per square inch! Geologists say that that much pressure is so great that it should have cracked through the Earth's crust within 10 to 15,000 years after it was formed. They can't understand why it hasn't cracked yet! If the Earth is billions of years old, they're right!--It should've cracked a long time ago! But the Earth is not billions of years old.
Oil is made by vegetation and once-living matter being trapped under great pressure. In school text books this process is usually described as happening under the sea. But that doesn't account for the massive oil deposits under the Arabian deserts and other places not under the sea. That is very likely a result of the Flood!

A BRIEF WORD ABOUT THE FLOOD:
The Flood was more than just bad weather! The cloud/water-covering over the whole Earth came down and all the "waters which were under the earth" erupted in great fountains. (There is evidence of this along the floor of the Pacific Ocean, but that's another subject!)
Within 40 days an unimaginable amount of water forcefully moved into place and then only slightly slower drained to it's present locations. It's not far-fetched to assume that most of the animal & plant life wasn't just drowned but swept about, along with tons of rock and soil, and in many places formed great piles and were covered by countless tons of debris, thus forming today's land-based oil fields. Neither is it unreasonable to understand how this massive movement of water could account for many unique things we see today, not the least of which is the Grand Canyon!
This would all make a great disaster movie with computer graphics stretched to it's limits! But it is a far better example of a scientific theory than Evolution! It takes into account as much information as is available, it puts it all together in a justifiable scenario and it doesn't contradict any laws of physics or nature. You'll see in some of the following examples, that the drastic effects of the Flood explain away a lot of minor points that evolutionists use to claim that the Earth is not 6,167 years old. Sorry, they can't even stretch it to 10,000! The Bible is not a science book, but when it deals with science (geology, archeology, etc.) it is accurate.

NIAGARA FALLS IS MOVING.

Up until the 1930's, when much of the water was diverted for hydroelectric generation, the edge of Niagara Falls was moving 5-7 feet south every year. It has moved about 10 miles, give or take a couple of miles. Scientists estimate that, moving at its present rate, the Falls seem to be about 9,900 years old. Some say that this disproves the age of the Earth being only 6,000 years. However, when you also consider the obviously cataclysmic first few moments/days of the Flood, it does not seem inconsistent at all. The first few miles of erosion could have easily happened in the torrents of water of the first days of the Flood. But given Evolution's millions and billions of years, Niagara Falls could've moved to Florida by now!--Or anywhere on the continent!--Or completely out of existence!--But not just 10 miles!

THE NEW ORLEANS DELTA IS GROWING.
The Mississippi River is washing dirt into the Delta, located at the mouth of the river in the Gulf of Mexico, at a rate of 80,000 tons per hour! It has been measured and calculated from the size of the Delta that it must be about 30,000 years old. Having read all the examples above, what would you say to that? Most of that delta was probably formed in the first few days of the Flood! A lot of water moving very fast through soft dirt --and now the measurements were taken when there's a lot less water moving slower over harder ground--sorry, the erosion rate has changed and all that dirt can be easily accounted for. But if Evolution is true--millions or billions of years or whatever--the whole Gulf of Mexico should be full of dirt by now!
Adam (and everything else) was created fully formed. That means that he looked several years old even (mature) when he was one day old. Some trees have to grow for 40 to 50 years before they bear fruit, but the trees were created with their fruit on them. They looked years old when they were one day old.

THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER
The purpose of all this is not to provide ammunition for time-wasting arguments with evolutionists. "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still." (But there's nothing wrong with standing up for the truth when people need to hear it!) The main purpose is to strengthen your faith and help you to strengthen the faith of others! Evolution is one of Satan's most powerful doctrines in these Last Days! It has already destroyed the weak faith of multitudes! Hopefully, you now know that Evolution IS A LIE! But in the dark days that are already upon us, the only thing that will ultimately keep you strong in faith is God's Word! It's not head-knowledge that keeps you through hard times--it's heart-knowledge--a heart that knows Jesus and His Word! If you haven't met Jesus personally, you can do so right now by simply saying this prayer and meaning it : "Dear Jesus, please come into my heart and life. Thank you for laying down Your life for me so that I can be with You in Heaven. Forgive me for my mistakes and sins and help me to show Your Love to others." If you prayed that prayer and meant it, you now have Jesus and Eternal life! You'll never lose that! But without The Word you can become discouraged and lose power and blessings in this life! So read God's Word! Memorise it! Start now to claim the promises that are in His Word! Every time you do that, God will fulfill that promise and you'll have even more faith for the next promise! Soon, it won't matter if someone comes up with "proof" against anything in God's Word--you'll still believe God just because HE SAID SO! And that's good enough!

The Earth is Younger than You Think!
The Universe Is Not "Billions of Years" Old
Article courtesy CSE
The general theory of evolution is based on several faulty assumptions. (Note: It is important to understand by this statement that we are not disputing simple variations that some call "microevolution," whose micro-changes are often observed but never lead to a fundamentally different kind of plant or animal.) The following assumptions of evolutionary theory are easy to prove false:

1. the universe is billions of years old,
2. life spontaneously arose from nonliving minerals,
3. mutations create or improve a species,
4. natural selection has creative power.

In this section we will deal with the first of these assumptions. The others will be dealt with elsewhere. If, in fact, it could be demonstrated that the universe is not billions of years old, all other arguments about evolution become meaningless and unnecessary.

In children’s fairy tales, we are told:
frog + magic spell (usually a kiss) = prince

In modern "science" textbooks we are told:
frog + time = prince

The same basic fairy tale (evolution) is being promoted in textbooks today, but the new magic potion cited is time. When the theory of evolution is discussed, time is the panacea for all the thousands of problems that arise.
In nearly all discussions and debates about evolution that I have held at universities and colleges, I ask the evolutionists how certain things could have evolved by chance. Their answer is nearly always "Given enough time..." Time is the evolutionists’ god. Time is able to accomplish anything the evolutionists can propose. Time can easily turn a frog into a prince. Time can create matter from nothing and life from matter. According to evolutionists, time can create order from chaos.
But let’s remove time from the above equation. There would be the following three results:

1. Evolution becomes obviously impossible.
2. Evolutionists will scream like a baby whose pacifier has been pulled out because they know that if time is removed, their religion (evolution is religion, not science) is silly.
3. Creation becomes the only reasonable alternative explanation for the existence of this complex universe.

Let’s imagine we are exploring an old gold mine, and we find a Casio Databank watch half buried in the mud on the floor of the mine. Suppose also that the correct time and date are displayed on the watch and it is still running smoothly. Then imagine that I tell you the watch has been there for over one thousand years.

"That’s impossible!" you say. "That watch could not have been there for a thousand years, and I can prove it!"

"How can you prove I’m wrong?" I say.

"Well, for one thing, this mine was just dug 150 years ago," you say.

"Okay," I admit, "you’re right about the thousand years being too much, but the watch has been here for 150 years at least!"

"No!" you say. "Casio didn’t make the Databank watch until twelve years ago."

"All right," I say. "The watch was dropped here twelve years ago then."

"Impossible!" you say. "The batteries only last five years on that watch, and it’s still running. That proves it has been here less than five years."

While we still can’t prove exactly when the watch was left there, you have logically limited the date to five years at the most. You have effectively proven that my initial statement about the watch being 1000 years old is wrong. The larger numbers prove nothing in this debate. Even if I were to radiometric-date the mud or the plastic in the watch to try to prove that it is thousands of years old, my data would be meaningless. The same logic can be applied to finding the age of the earth. If several factors limit the age of the earth to a few thousand years, the earth cannot be older than a few thousand years! Even if a few indicators seem to show a greater age for the earth, it takes only ONE fact to prove the earth is young.

The Bible teaches that: God created the universe approximately 6000 years ago, ex nihilo (out of nothing) in six literal, twenty-four hour days. Then, approximately 4400 years ago, the earth was destroyed by a worldwide Flood. This devastating, year-long Flood was responsible for the sediment layers being deposited (the water was going and returning, Gen. 8:3-5). As the mountains rose and the ocean basins sank after the Flood (Psalm 104:5-8, Gen. 8:1), the waters rushed off the rising mountains into the new ocean basins. This rapid-erosion through still-soft, unprotected sediments formed the topography we still see today, in places like the Grand Canyon. The uniformitarian assumption—that today’s slow erosion rates that take place through solid rock are the same as has always been—is faulty logic, and ignores catastrophes like the Flood. (2 Pet. 3:3-8 says that the scoffers are "willingly ignorant" of the Flood.)

Listed below are some of the factors from various branches of science that limit the age of the universe (including earth) to within the last few thousand years. Though it cannot be scientifically proven exactly when the universe was created, its age can be shown to not be billions of years old. Each of the following evidences of a young earth is described in great detail in the books referenced below. Source number and page number are given for the following statements (at the bottom of this page):

Evidence from Space

The shrinking sun limits the earth-sun relationship to less than "billions of years." The sun is losing both mass and diameter. Changing the mass would upset the fine gravitational balance that keeps the earth at just the right distance for life to survive. (1, p. 169; 2, p. 30; 4, pp. 56-63; 5, p. 26; 6, p. 43;)

The 0.5 inch layer of cosmic dust on the moon indicates the moon has not been accumulating dust for billions of years. (2, p. 26; 3, p. 22; 4, p. 15; 6, p. 35; 7; 9, p. 25) *Insufficient evidence to be positive (almost all estimates before the lunar landing anticipated great quantities of dust.)

"I get a picture therefore, of the first spaceship, picking out a nice, level place for landing purposes, coming in slowly downward tail-first, and sinking majestically out of sight." -- Isaac Asimov, Science Digest, January, 1959, p 36

Lyttleton felt that the X-rays and UV light striking exposed moon rocks "could, during the age of the moon be sufficient to form a layer over it several miles deep." -- Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society of London, vol. 115, pp. 585-604

The existence of short-period comets indicates the universe is less than billions of years old. (2, p. 31; 3, p. 27; 4, p. 35; 6, p. 37; 7)

Fossil meteorites are very rare in layers other than the top layers of the earth. This indicates that the layers were not exposed for millions of years as is currently being taught in school textbooks. (4, p. 26)

The moon is receding a few inches each year. Billions of years ago the moon would have been so close that the tides would have been much higher, eroding away the continents. (3, p. 25; 6, p. 43; 7)

The moon contains considerable quantities of U-236 and Th-230, both short-lived isotopes that would have been long gone if the moon were billions of years old. (8, p. 177; see also 4, p. 51, for information on rock "flow")

The existence of great quantities of space dust, which by the Pointing-Robertson effect would have been vacuumed out of our solar system in a few thousand years, indicates the solar system is young. (3, p. 29; 6, p.44)

At the rate many star clusters are expanding, they could not have been traveling for billions of years. (3, p. 29; 4, pp. 30 and 59; 6, p. 44)

Saturn’s rings are still unstable, indicating they are not billions of years old. (4, p. 45)

Jupiter and Saturn are cooling off rather rapidly. They are losing heat twice as fast as they gain it from the sun. They cannot be billions of years old. (5, p. 26; 4, p. 43; Jupiter’s moon, Io, is losing matter to Jupiter. It cannot be billions of years old. (4, p. 3)

Among other factors to consider is that all the ancient astronomers from 2000 years ago recorded that Sirius was a red star—today it is a white dwarf star. Since today’s textbooks in astronomy state that one hundred thousand years are required for a star to "evolve" from a red giant to a white dwarf, obviously this view needs to be restudied.

Evidence from Earth

The decaying magnetic field limits earth’s age to less than billions. (1, p. 157; 2, p. 27; 3, p. 20; 5, p. 23; 6, p. 42; 9, p. 25; 10, p. 38)

The volume of lava on earth divided by its rate of efflux gives a number of only a few million years, not billions. I believe that during the Flood, while "the fountains of the deep were broken up," most of the earth’s lava was deposited rapidly. (1, p. 156)

Dividing the amount of various minerals in the ocean by their influx rate indicates only a few thousand years of accumulation. (1, p. 153; 5, p. 24; 6, p. 42)

The amount of Helium 4 in the atmosphere, divided by the formation rate on earth, gives only 175,000 years. (God may have created the earth with some helium which would reduce the age more.) (1, p. 151; 6, p. 42; 9, p. 25)

The erosion rate of the continents is such that they would erode to sea level in less than 14,000,000 years, destroying all old fossils. (2, p. 31; 6, p 38; American Science Vol 56 p 356-374)

Topsoil formation rates indicate only a few thousand years of formation. (6, p. 38)

Niagara Falls’ erosion rate (four to five feet per year) indicates an age of less than 10,000 years. Don’t forget Noah’s Flood could have eroded half of the seven-mile-long Niagara River gorge in a few hours as the flood waters raced through the soft sediments.) (6, p. 39; 7)

The rock encasing oil deposits could not withstand the pressure for more than a few thousand years. (2, p. 32; 3, p. 24; 5, p. 24; 6, p. 37; 7)

The size of the Mississippi River delta, divided by the rate mud is being deposited, gives an age of less than 30,000 years. (The Flood in Noah’s day could have washed out 80% of the mud there in a few hours or days, so 4400 years is a reasonable age for the delta.) (3, p. 23; 6, p. 38; 7)

The slowing spin of the earth limits its age to less than the "billions of years" called for by the theory of evolution. (3, p. 25; 7)

A relatively small amount of sediment is now on the ocean floor, indicating only a few thousand years of accumulation. This embarrassing fact is one of the reasons why the continental drift theory is vehemently defended by those who worship evolution. (1, p. 155; 6, p. 28; 7)

The largest stalactites and flowstone formations in the world could have easily formed in about 4400 years. (5, p. 27; 6, p. 39; 7)

The Sahara desert is expanding. It easily could have been formed in a few thousand years. See any earth science textbook.

The oceans are getting saltier. If they were billions of years old, they would be much saltier than they are now. (7; 9, p. 26; 10, p. 37)

Ice cores at the south pole and Greenland have a maximum depth of 10-14,000 feet. The aircraft that crash-landed in Greenland in 1942 and excavated in 1990 were under 263 feet of ice after only 48 years. This indicates all of the ice could have accumulated in 4400 years. (7)

Evidence from Biology
The current population of earth (5.5 billion souls) could easily be generated from eight people (survivors of the Flood) in less than 4000 years. (1, p. 167; 3, p. 27; 6, p. 41; 7)
The oldest living coral reef is less than 4200 years old. (6, p. 39; 7)
The oldest living tree in the world is about 4300 years old. (6, p. 40; 7)
Another factor to consider: The genetic load in man is increasing. Geneticists have cataloged nearly 1300 genetic disorders in the human race. It is certainly reasonable to believe that the human race was created perfect from the hand of the Creator but has been going downhill as a result of our disobedience to the laws established by the Creator and the increased radiation from the sun. The Bible teaches that we live in a sin-cursed world as a result of Adam’s sin.

Evidence from History

The oldest known historical records are less than 6000 years old. (1, p. 160)
Many ancient cultures have stories of an original creation in the recent past and a worldwide Flood. Nearly 300 of these Flood legends are now known.
Biblical dates add up to about 6000 years.

The following Bible verses tell when "the beginning" was:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (Gen. 1:1)
Moses because of the hardness of your hearts permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. (Mt. 19:8)
But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. (Mk. 10:6)
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. (Jn. 1:1)
That which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes and our hands have handled, of the Word of life. (1 Jn. 1:1)
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. (1 Jn. 3:8)
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time. (Mt. 24:21)
Ye are of your father the devil.... He was a murderer from the beginning. (Jn. 8:44)
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel. (Lk. 11:50, 51)
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth. (Heb. 1:10)
For in six days the Lord made heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is. (Ex. 20:11)
Since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. (2 Pet. 3:4)
The works were finished from the foundation of the world. For God did rest the seventh day from all his works. (Heb. 4:3, 4)
For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created to this time. (Mk. 13:19)
Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? (Is. 40:21)
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord am he. (Is. 41:4)
Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female? (Mt. 19:4)
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made. (Ro. 1:20)
Those who believe the earth is billions of years old will typically try to discredit one or two of these evidences and then mistakenly think that they have successfully proven the entire list wrong. This is not logical, of course. Each evidence stands independently: it only takes one to prove the earth is young. The burden of proof is on the evolutionists if they expect all taxpayers to fund the teaching of their religion in the school system. Many who believe in evolution are great at "straining at a gnat, and swallowing a camel" (Mt. 23:24).

Evolutionists love to assume uniformitarian processes. Many of the preceding evidences follow the same logic evolutionists use all the time in dealing with carbon dating, strata formation, genetic drift, etc.

It is interesting to read the ramblings of nay-sayers like Scott, Matson, Babinski, etc. as they try to answer theses evidences for a young universe. See how many times they use words like: we believe, perhaps, could have, there is some reason to believe, etc. Evolutionists may need billions of years to make people believe a rock can turn into a rocket scientist, but that time just isn’t available.
