Ian T. Taylor: How old is the world and the universe? Evolutionary scientists talk about how radiometric dating methods prove that the universe and the earth are billions of years old. Let's look at all the methods scientists could use. There are well over 100 methods available. There are thousands of scientists who prefer the other methods that offer the younger ages for our world and the universe. Those few methods out of over 100 that evolutionists prefer are not very exact.

Sometimes the evolutionists will actually get a negative age for something using one of his preferred methods. In other words, the same method that shows that something is billions of years old may also show that something else doesn't even exist yet. The fact is, more dating methods prove just as scientifically that the world is less than 500 years old than prove that it is more than a billion years old.

Of over 100 methods that we know of, giving results of anywhere from 100 years to billions of years, 15% of all the methods give a date between 6,000 and 10,000 years for the age of the universe. We Christians should not allow evolutionists to intimidate us with scientific mumbo-jumbo. Our faith is in the Bible that God has given us.

Those who promote evolution have their faith in their own reasoning abilities. The origins debate is religious. The religion revealed by God is challenged head-to-head by another religion. That other religion, evolution, was hatched in man's own little mind.
