Evidence for a Young Earth
Evolutionists point to a couple of dating methods that they say support an earth billions of years old. However, 90% of dating methods based on these same assumptions contradict an old earth. 1 Here are a few of them that we believe support a young earth, not an old one:
- Agriculture is too recent
- Bent rock layers
- Carbon-14 in fossils, coal, and diamonds
- DNA in ancient-dated bacteria
- Earth’s slowing rotation
- Fossil radioactivity
- Helium in radioactive rocks
- History is too short
- Magnetic field
- Niagara Falls
- Not enough stone age skeletons
- Population
- Sea Salt
- Seafloor sediment
- Soft tissue in fossils

Notes
- Sarfati, 1999, p. 112: “Actually, 90 percent of the methods that have been used to estimate the age of the earth point to an age far less than the billions of years asserted by evolutionists.” ↩
