More Information
"Twenty-somethings once faithfully attended church. What made them stop? While most said they still believe that the Bible is God's Word, they also said that the idea that the earth is millions of years old was one thing that caused them to doubt the bible? The crumbling foundation of the church takes a devastating toll on future generations. Therefore, churches must reclaim the historical truth found in Genesis and apply the Bible's authority to every area of life."
-Ken Ham, President
Answers in Genesis
As the modern Church struggles to find a place of relevancy for a new generation that already has massive demands on its time and attention, more and more young people raised in the Church are leaving it - failing to find the answers to their questions of faith and life, beset with doubts raised by issues that the Church chooses not to address. Opting to skirt the controversy of Genesis as literal history, the biblical authority of the Holy Word is called into question and reduced to a collection of mere stories. More popularly considered an issue for schools or in the public realm, the conflicting views on the age of the earth also remain a pivotal issue within the Church - as it has for over two centuries.
- Was the Creation week literally six days?
- Does science really point to an old earth?
- Does the issue really matter for Christians?
- Should this issue even be discussed within the Church?

Customer Reviews
Many fallacies pointing to an old earth are explained and proven to be false.
Good science does support the biblical time scale.
After reading this book your confidence in defending the biblical view of a young earth will be strengthened.
This book is a great resource to have
The book is brilliantly set up as a court case with the young-earth position as the prosecution and the old-earth position as the defense. Responses are the witnesses which are cross-examined against the Scripture. The three main arguments that are focused on include the age of the earth, the extent of the flood, and scientific evidence. I greatly appreciate how everything mentioned was always pointed back to what Scripture says. The Appendixes are a great resource for anyone looking to dig deeper into arguments covered within the pages of this book.
I really enjoyed this book and walked away with a greater understanding of this popular debate. It challenged me to dig deeper into this topic and to understand how important it is to be more educated on issues such as this one. And more important, to always return to God’s Word and to know and understand what it says.
I found this book to be a thought provoking and compelling read.
It is written in simple terms, instead of over the top technical terms; which I highly appreciate as a reader, making it easy to follow along with a strong understanding of the authors explanations.
Every fact, argument, or viewpoint is continually focused back to scripture, and looked through with a biblical lens.
I love the information and debates provided in this book! It was a pleasure to read, especially with the key focus being centred around truth and the gospel of Jesus!
I was inspired with some wonderful knowledge and facts that I had not considered before, and would recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to strengthen their faith and defend it.
