6. II Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; Big Picture

10. What does the Bible say about age and ancient history? Genesis 5:1 Adam –“book” means: written official document –“generations” means: history (bear young) Genesis 10: 1Noah Genesis 11:10Shem Genesis 25:12Ishmael Genesis 37:2Jacob Matthew 1:17Christ Ancient History

11. Why can’t we just compromise and say that God did it in millions of years?

12. A Young Earth? Doesn’t it HAVE to be old, because…

13. Doesn’t it HAVE to be old? It takes millions of years for… An Ice age to occur Thousands of feet of layers to form Deep canyons to be cut into rock Fossils to form Rocks to form Diamonds to form Coal to form Wood to Petrify Stalactites and stalagmites to form Light to reach us from the stars It takes millions of years for… An Ice age to occur Thousands of feet of layers to form Deep canyons to be cut into rock Fossils to form Rocks to form Diamonds to form Coal to form Wood to Petrify Stalactites and stalagmites to form Light to reach us from the stars

15. “It is absolutely safe to say that, if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid, or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that).” Richard Dawkins quoted in Philip Johnson, Darwin on Trial, 1991

16. The redefining of science Science means “to know” He has defined Science as: “Explaining all events by natural causes.” In other words “Without God” (This is the philosophy of Naturalism)

17. The redefining of science Let’s not narrow science by looking at the world without God… Science means to know

37. Doesn’t radioactive dating prove that the rocks are billions of years old? Nope – Three Assumptions make it impossible to prove those dates Nope – The Flood changed the Carbon Cycle and makes all dates before it invalid. There are major contradictions between different dating methods of the same rock.

39. Star light takes billions of years to get here Nope – Read about it here!

40. Evidence that it can’t be old

41. More Evidence…..

42. If the present is the key to the past, then it HAS to be younger the 4.6 billion years If the present is the key to the past, then it HAS to be younger the 4.6 billion years

67. Meteorites in Rock Layers

68. Meteorites are falling regularly now. If rock layers took millions of years to form, then... These rock layers should have holes everywhere in them with meteorites at the bottom of the holes However, meteorites are extremely rare in layered rock!

91. Originally written by GOD’S OWN HAND ! Exodus 31:17 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
