Young Earth Creation

Recently, new speculation has shown that mother earth may in fact not be 4.5 billion years old, as has been taught in schools for many generations. However, young earth creationist believe that the world is only approximately six thousand years old. According to the Christian Bible, if we were to follow the chronology of many of its books including Genesis, Exodus, Galatians and 1 Kings, we would gather a general timeline of when God created the universe and the Earth. No where in the Bible does anyone give an exact date; however, we can get a very close estimate and rough explanation why the earth is not 4.5 billion years old. According to evidence, it is physically impossible. Measurements taken over the past
Only 27 percent of the sodium actually gets back out of the sea each year. As far as any scientific research shows, the remaining sodium accumulates in the ocean. Assuming that the ocean started with a very minimal, if any, amount of sodium deposits in the oceans, at today’s input and output rates, it would have taken less than 42 million years to accumulate its present amount. If we were to look at the evolutionary timeline of the oceans, which is only around three million years to start with, far less than 42 million years it would have taken to deposit the current amount of sodium into the sea; the usual reply to this discrepancy is that past sodium inputs were much less than the outputs back out of the ocean. Calculations, even though they are as generous as the evolutionary theory will allow, still only give a maximum age of 62 millions years. So hypothetically speaking, even if the current sodium amounts in the ocean were deposited within 62 million years, that is far less than 4.5 billion years. During the evolution of the earth, what happened to the sodium content the other millions, possibly billions, of years? Were there no oceans in the beginning of
However, each time a comet passes by the sun through its orbit pattern, it loses so much of its material compound that it could not last longer than roughly one-hundred thousand years. Due to research, scientist have given comets an average age of ten-thousand years before they disintegrate. Scientist explain this theory by examining where comets actually come from. Comets originate in an unobserved spherical “Oort Cloud” well beyond the orbit of Pluto. There gravitational interactions with passing stars often knock comets into our solar system. When the comet passes by either planets, or the sun, the gravitational pull often breaks up the comet. According to history and past records as far back as 4004 B.C.E, there have only been a couple hundred comets observed. The “Kuiper Belt” is a disc of supposed comet sources lying just outside the orbit of Pluto; however it hasn’t had enough ice, or any possible “Oort Cloud” to supply it with for many years. Scientist believe the comets in our solar system are the last of any comets we will ever see again, according to this discrepancy in the solar system. Due to this scientific knowledge, the earth has only seen a few hundred comets with an average life of ten-thousand years This does not even come close to 4.5 billion years. (Steidl pp.
