Most people you talk to (outside of some small church circles) think the idea we live on a young earth is an absurd notion; they think this because they've never been acquainted with any good arguments for the young earth position. Contrary to what people think, there are many good reasons to question an old age for the earth, and to affirm a young earth.
Quotes and comments;
1. 'No scientific method can prove the age of the earth and the universe, and that includes the ones we have listed here. Although age indicators are called “clocks” they aren’t, because all ages result from calculations that necessarily involve making assumptions about the past. Always the starting time of the “clock” has to be assumed as well as the way in which the speed of the clock has varied over time. Further, it has to be assumed that the clock was never disturbed. [1.]
- The article I just quoted from contains a long list of evidences for a young earth. It includes a link to an article or essay for each one mentioned. It's a great resource for anyone interested in this subject.
