Get FREE access to the award-winning documentary _Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels_ here:
It is one of our top resources, and includes sections on radiometric dating, the fossil record, cosmology, and more!
---
Is the Earth 4.5 billion years old? How can we measure age with certainty? What about radiometric dating methods—don’t they prove millions and billions of years? Does the age of the Earth even matter?
Dr Mark Harwood discusses these topics and more, focusing especially on why an old Earth sits in conflict with the Bible, while also providing evidence for a younger age of the Earth.
P.S. Dr Harwood has done a followup video:
