The Origin of Earth
The Origin of the Earth, One of God’s Hidden Secrets “Much of geology is pure speculation and is as such on the same basis as philosophy, or must be accepted on faith, as the truths of theology” (Rehwinkel 177). For geologists this means that any theory of how the Earth, atmosphere and life originated, takes faith to believe, whether it is the evolutionist’s view or the creationist’s view. Creationists believe that the Earth was created 6000-7000 years ago. This number is based on what the Bible says. Evolutionists believe that the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. (Tarbuck 598) This number is based on the subjective choice of scientific evidence. Creationists have faith that the Bible is true and that there is an Almighty God who created everything. Evolutionists have faith in their theories about how the world works. Using theories based on how the world words today they try determine how the world worked in the pat.
What do Evolutionists say about the Origin of the Earth?
Where did the Geological Column of Earth come from?
According to evolutionists, the universe started from a single catastrophic event now called the Big Bang. Protons, neutrons, and electrons were formed, and they bonded to form helium and hydrogen. Helium and hydrogen collided and underwent nuclear fusion, creating stars in which the lighter elements were made. When the stars collapsed in a supernova, the heavier elements were created. The exploded elements from the supernova joined together, forming planetesimals. The planetesimals collided forming the planets of many different solar systems (Tarbuck 623). This process has never before been witnessed, it is pure speculation based on the observation of stars today and the scientific theories about the origin of stars. This theory is acceptable because it is backed up with scientific reasoning.
The Geological Column formed over millions of years from the erosion of the Earth’s crust, and deposition of sediment, and debris. The
