Understanding Origins from a Biblical Perspective

Session 6 – Oct 23 – Age of the Earth

This session looks in depth at the myriad of evidence that supports a young earth that is ignored by both secular and non-secular old earth advocates.  Do you have to check your mind at the door to believe in a young earth? A look at the viability of old vs. young earth interpretations of astronomical and geological features is presented and how our interpretations are influenced by the world.  It is not intended to be argumentative, but instead thought pondering and faith building.

Key verses:

• “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts”. – Isaiah 55:8-9
• That their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself,  in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. – Colossians 2:2-3
