Evidence for a Young World
Below is a list of evidences for a young earth and universe.
Interestingly enough, we cannot actually measure the age of something directly unless we have eyewitness accounts. For instance, we have birth certificates partly to verify our age, and cans of food have “use by” dates printed on them to help us know how old they are. Without these eyewitness accounts of the birth certificate or “use by” dates, we would have a difficult time getting reliable ages. 1
