. . .my pastor has put me on the trail of some articles relating to the
study of Deep Time.
His old school buddy, recently found, is a scientist at an extremely
well-accredited University here in the states. He is a geologic
evolutionist
and is asking my pastor to intelligently debate the topic of Deep Time
(ancient planet theory) vs. Creationism, (younger planet theory).
We are looking for links to articles - I have Googled some. I am not
seeking
debate on the subject; merely information from various locations which
would
support the theory as well as debunk it, without heated debate, anger or
name-calling. Just a good few articles on the subjects from both sides.
Thanks in advance; I will be checking back regularly.
Feather
Read any geology text for information on the science.
There are no facts that support young earth creationism.
There are no *facts* that support either side; I am looking for articles
that seek to support both sides - they are all theories; none have been
proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Yet. :)
Feather
We can't prove anything in science beyond the shadow of a doubt - it's not possible to exclude Omphalism (creation with the appearance of age, perhaps as recently as Last Thursday, not to mention Next Tuesday), Simulationism (the world is a computer simulation running in some other universe) and Solipsism (the world is a figment of my imagination). What is the case is that, unless you adopt one of those nihilistic positions, the Earth is much more than 6,000 years old is evidenced beyond reasonable doubt.
