Earth Is 6 000 Years Old Pros And Cons
In the video entitled, “Earth is 6,000 Years Old”, Chemist John Pendleton describes different viewpoints from a creation and evolutionary standpoint when it comes to how old the earth really is and the supportive material behind their conclusions. These points are based off the bible in regards to Genesis and the creation of the earth, scientific points of view in regards to carbon dating, sedimentary dating, and evolution of mammals and mankind in this progression. The techniques also used in determining this data are described as well as the numerical data and some steps used in this configuration.
The first pro that is seen is that according to Pendleton is from a biblical perspective dating began with the creation of earth in Genesis 1 …show more content…
Third pro is that there is no gaps in between the dates for creation, as seen in Genesis 1 where the earth was created in six days. Fourth the bible itself does not clearly give an exact time frame onto the earth's age for it could be younger or older but using the timeframe that is given and context to support that there are 6 literal days with 24 hour periods in each day can help one conclude a timeframe of support for the age of the earth. Fifth, the bible in regards to creationism holds accounts of positive things or events which could be tested in figuring out the earths age. The pros to evolution according to the video when it comes to dating the earth are that firstly the idea of geological timescale. This is based off prehistoric periods of 190 million years such as measuring the layers of rocks to date the age of the earth for example the Grand Canyon. Since more than 50 percent of the rocks layers are missing from the Grand Canyon this leads to false, accurate dating measurements. Second, the idea of worms evolving into humans. Measuring the evolution from worms to humans gives a chance of happenings since the evolution is not accurately recorded because it is guessed that worms evolved into fish into amphibians into primates into humans on the
