What is your
opinion about the age of the earth? What
does Hillary think about it? What is the
Donald's view on this issue? A
relatively short history for this planet is now a live possibility. Now is the time for all good scientists to
come to the aid of Young Earth Science (YES).
Formerly, Young Earth Theory was discounted, but consider these words
from R. F. Diffendal, from his article “Earth in Four Dimensions: Development
of the Ideas of Geologic Time and History”:
To some
extent the arguments about a short Earth history of a few thousand years versus
a long history of billions of years are still going on today. Most natural scientists support the long
history. However, some people including
Richard Milton [Mensan, agnostic, science journalist] … support the idea of a
short one. [1]
Be rational,
this planet is younger than you think.
Some of the best evidences for devotees of a young earth include:
- No fossil
trees with thousands of rings
- Contradictory
radiometric dates
- Solar
effects on decay rates
- History only
goes back thousands of years
- The human
genome is going downhill
- Lack of
trillions of Neanderthal graves [2]
The oldest
tree in the fossil record only has 816 rings (that's not recent). Other arguments include catastrophism and
soft tissue and DNA in fossils supposedly millions of years old. We can’t re-create the Grand Canyon in a
laboratory – the scientific evidence supports a rapid formation. Mount St. Helens deposited thick layers and
formed a mini Grand Canyon, so it does not take long ages for deep canyons to
come about.
A Faint
Young Sun is a problem for old earth advocates.
Many can talk origins, but they are depending on Old Earth Fallacies
(OEF’s). Research the facts for
yourself! Despite attempted rebuttals,
the overwhelming scientific evidence tells us that my favorite planet is quite
young.
Monitor the
news and see how the perspective of most journalists is biased against young-earthers. The public schools have a virtual monopoly
and push the idea that the real history of the earth spans billions of
years. The educational establishment may
club students over the head with old earth propaganda, but young earth
sentiment remains strong as a recent AP-GfK poll demonstrates.
The young
earth clock is gaining in popularity. Young
Earth Science (YES) is the future.
Google young earth and be amazed at the millions of hits. Earth-Age is a topic that young earth
skeptics need to rethink. What would it
take to disprove an old earth?
A few
die-hard fans of the academic elite have turned scientists into gods and trust
their every exposition. For hundreds of
years since the scientific revolution, most thinking people held that to a
young earth. It’s time to choose – will
you investigate the facts that favor a fresh planet?
Young earth
views are widespread. A 2007 poll of
1600 Russians found that 30% agree with the statement, “[The] first human
beings were living in the same era as dinosaurs.” A 2005 survey of residents of the European
Union had 29% agreeing with man-dino coexistence! Are there dinosaurs in the modern world?
A powerful
young earth book that can bring positive change is YES – Young Earth Science.
Just google yes jay hall or search yes jay hall on Amazon to learn more
about this fascinating topic. There is
even a YouTube channel. Join the
discussion, build the dialog and follow young earth today.
The
omnicultural approach to this controversy teaches us that a global catastrophe
occurred just thousands of years ago based on traditions from around the
globe. If catastrophism is the leading
paradigm in earth history, then a young earth makes sense. Stokes and Judson state in their Geology text
Introduction to Geology
(Prentice-Hall) that,
A
catastrophist might contend that the twisting and breaking of strata, the transportation
of huge blocks of rock, the violent cutting of canyons, and the wholesale
destruction of life is within the power of a great universal flood - and he would
be right. [3]
Yes Virginia
(& MD & DC), there is evidence for a young earth. In recent times the progressive attitude has
been open to a global cataclysm.
Consider Roland Emmerich’s disaster film 2012 which was based on Charles Hapgood’s pole shift theory which
Einstein praised.
The
Huffington Post had the following headline: Climate Change Worse Than We
Thought, Likely To Be “Catastrophic Rather Than Simply Dangerous.” The Huffington Post admits to catastrophic
events in the future but ignores the great global disaster that changed the world
just a few millennia ago.
Support liberty
– press for school choice! Allow our
children to be exposed to Young Earth Studies.
Join the Young Earth Network that sees the robust worldview of a young
world endorsed by Philosophy, History, Biology and Geology. The International Year of Planet Earth should
include speakers who accept a young earth.
Teach science – share the controversy!
Join the debate – our world is thousands and not billions of years old.
To
uncritically accept OEF’s is a literal mistake.
The conflict between young earth theory and old-earthism clearly has
implications for evolution and Darwinism.
