This page is provided to answer a specific question, but don't get tied up in detail and forget where you are going. You get past the questions/attacks so you can proclaim the Gospel. It is the proclamation of the Gospel, not argumentation, that transforms minds. See Give Them the Gospel. If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this.
Life has a very long history. It's unfortunate that the scientific method has no way to estimate the age of things without using circular reasoning. We can only look at things in the present and make assumptions about the past. If we change the assumptions, we change the estimate of the age of things. When anyone states that a fossil (one that that is older than themselves) is a certain number of years old, that statement is either based on speculation or revelation. Every objection to a 6,000-year-old Earth has been answered by a viable scientific explanation; however, science cannot prove anything. Those who believe in billions of years are not so fortunate. The billions of years hypothesis has many disconnects with what can be observed; however, science cannot disprove anything either. Science is a great tool but it is not magic. One thing is sure, though. Living things change over time. However, there is no known mechanism that could create information, organization, and the types of upward progress over time that Darwin's hypothesis claimed. Several known scientific laws show that, to the extent that we can know anything, information is not added but lost, order is not created but destroyed, and progressive Evolutionary processes do not occur but destructive degeneration occurs. (Read the latest science on the subject: Without Excuse by Werner Gitt, a description of the scientific Laws of Universal Information. See also: Information Theory Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4. Here is another interesting article.) More is constantly being learned about information and about the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Evolutionists tend to hide in the weeds of the unknown with an argument from ignorance: "If you can't prove, by empirical science, that evolution is impossible, then it happened." By empirical science alone, we can only prove probabilities. The probabilities show the Big-Bang-Billions-of-Years-No-Flood-Molecules-to-Man story to be a bazaar hypothesis, a story that is so improbable that it should not be considered. However, empirical science is not a tool that can prove anything to be true or false absolutely. For absolute proof, we have revelation. (See Basic and Concise Guide to Practical, Useful Logic and Reasoning). God says that He created everything. He is the One Who enforces the laws of nature. He is the One Who will judge all of us in the end. We know that because we know Him presonally through the indwelling Presence of Jesus Christ and the moment-by-moment instruction of the Holy Spirit. The fossils show distinct kinds of animals with a great deal of variation within the kinds but no evidence of one kind of animal becoming another kind of animal. For instance, there are many kinds of dogs, but no evidence that dogs have ever been anything else other than dogs. When we look at the fossils, we don't see Darwin's Tree of Life. However, we do see a forest of Trees of Life. We see a dog tree, a cat tree, an elephant tree, and one tree for every kind of living thing. The fossils are buried in sediments and would have had to have been buried quickly. What we can easily observe is that it appears that most of the fossils were buried in a global flood like the one mentioned in the Bible. We see clams and sea creatures at the tops of the mountains. We see evidence of violent and rapid water movement across continents. The idea that microscopic creatures evolved into higher level creatures and finally into man--this concept is scientifically impossible with what we currently know using science. It is only popular because of wide-spread ignorance at the highest levels. The idea that life could be generated spontaneously from non-life is equally unscientific. The idea that matter could generate from nothing or that matter in the universe is infinitely old is equally unscientific. The Big Bang Theory also has the same sorts of problems. Interestingly, the historical account of how everything came to exist has no conflict with what we can observe using scientific method. That is, the things that the Bible says about how the universe was created and how the animals, man, and woman were created, along with the historical account of the great global flood, these events of the past are all in line with what we can observe in the present. There is evidence all over the place. Ungodly people are forced to hold on tightly to some basic presuppositions. These presuppositions are just simple-minded assumptions. They are filters and a way to censor out any information that supports the existence of God. They set up a web of rules to filter out God. They will only accept those things that conform to Naturalism, materialism, and uniformitarianism. Naturalism claims that God does nothing. Materialism claims that there is no God or spiritual realm. Uniformitarianism claims that there was not creation and that there was no violent worldwide flood, as the Bible and numerous other historical accounts record. Whatever they observe that does not conform to this complex filter is censored. The way that it is censored can take several forms. The ungodly may boldly proclaim that, though the data appears to support God's version and refute the version of the ungodly, yet it still must be interpreted to mean just the opposite of what it does mean. A backup method that ungodly people use is to prophecy that in the future, science will be able to explain what they see as an anomaly. If that fails, they will hide the data, set it aside, or lie to keep the public from knowing the truth. The data clearly demolishes the story of the ungodly and clearly supports the reality of the Creator God, His Bible, and His abiding Presence in His people. When confronted with the obvious, a closed-minded ungodly person says, "I can't understand it." They are willingly ignorant because they refuse to hold God in their knowledge. The reality is that these people, for whatever reason, don't what to know the Creator. They don't want to truly know Jesus, their Creator.
Excellent channel of Youtube that allows you to watch one training video after another here. Increasingly, evolutionism, old-earthism, big-bangism, and no-floodism are stories against the evidence, but they always were simply stories that were made up to compete with what God is saying. Astronomy

We are not dogmatically claiming to know that the Earth is 6,000 years old. We know that God created the Heavens and the Earth in six days and we know the number of generations between Adam and Christ. That's about it. Even though a plain reading of Scripture seems to indicate a young Earth; even though there is zero observed evidence and only circular reasoning and speculations that support old Earth stories, we can't even deny the possibility that God could have done something that Scripture doesn't hint at and that has left no scientific evidence. It is possible. It just is not worth the time to think about it. 
How can we know anything about anything? That’s the real question Topic: EvolutionismIf you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. What Must One Do To Be An Evolutionist? Short Answer Those who decide to follow a career in Evolutionism, which isn\'t science, must subscribe to a different form of reasoning that allows them to filter out facts they don\'t like and make up \"facts\" that they need. They need to take New Age religion\'s attitude that... This page is provided to answer a specific question, but don\'t get tied up in detail and forget where you are going. You get past the questions/attacks so you can proclaim the Gospel. It is the proclamation of the Gospel, not argumentation, that transforms minds. See Give Them the Gospel. If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. Science has merit. Scientists...

It is the proclamation of the Gospel, not argumentation, that transforms minds. See Give Them the Gospel. Fraud is being committed repeatedly by the evolutionists. They lie about Natural Selection, claiming that Natural Selection is Evolution. Natural Selection... This battle is not about someone else\'s ideas versus our ideas. We need to decide what is a valid thought. This is really the basis of the difference between the two arguments. What authority will govern how we interpret facts. Evolutionists try to say that they are neutral, but they obviously are not. All science and knowledge operates in terms of the world-views and paradigms of the scientists. In other... Evolution is not even a theory as the word, theory, is defined by evolutionists. A theory, to an evolutionist, is defined as something that has been proved. There is not a shred of proof for the fairy tale we call \"evolution.\" In fact, evolutionists can\'t even answer the \"15 Questions for Evolutionists\". Although evolutionists claim to have evidence for evolution, this claim always falls apart under scrutiny. Evolutionism is increasingly becoming a... Evolutionism stays politically alive by using false claims, claims that are later proven false.By the time one false evolutionistic claim is proven to be false, the evolutionists have developed a new false claim to take its place. Looking back in the history of evolution, you can observe a history of one false claim after another. One of the newest false claims of evolutionism is the concept of junk DNA. If... Evolutionists will often use the word, \"micro-evolution,\" which is an interesting form of equivocation. This equivocation, using the word, \"micro-evolution,\" is a deliberate attempt to deceive. The deceiving term, micro-evolution is used to try to make the student think that two unrelated processes are related. The way this is done is to use the word deceitfully in a way that encompasses both of the unrelated processes. What they are deceitfully... There is no Compelling Evidence for Evolution While it would be faulty logic to try to prove that Evolution never happened just because of the amazing lack of evidence for such Evolution, it would also be a lie to claim that there is compelling evidence to believe in Evolution. In fact, there is real compelling scientific evidence against it, and the fact that evolutionists cannot answer the \"15 Questions for Evolutionists.\" There... Evolution Violates What Can Easily Be Observed Evolutionism violates many easily observed scientifically proven principles. Evolution isn\'t science. Two of the most obvious of these scientific laws that evolutionism violates are the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. There are countless additional examples. Ungodly people use simple-minded assumptions as filters to censor out any information that supports the existence of God. They set up a web of rules to filter out God. ...

Natural Selection Is Not \'Nature\'s Intelligence In a world where science has degenerated into shouting slogans, we hear all types of claims, many of them false. Natural Selection claims to include the capability for creatures to generate various traits that improve their ability... According to old-earth theology, the abundant polonium radiohalos found in granite rocks worldwide cannot be exist. In other words, once again, reality conflicts with evolutionism. Polonium has a very short half life, which means that the \"millions-of-years\" assumptions of the old-earth theology could not exist. If the \"millions-of-years\" were actually true, there would be no naturally occurring polonium. This one fact proves the old-earth to be a fairy tale for... Evolution and Confusing Words Have you noticed how many important words have at least two meanings. Often these meanings are exact opposites. Here are a few examples: Axiom of science Meaning #1: a principle that has been proven, by observation and experience, beyond a reasonable doubt. Examples: Second Law of Thermodynamics, Inverse Square Law of Gravity. Meaning #2: an assumption or made up story, that is, a fabrication, which is accepted on make... Why Do Evolutionists Resist Reality and Science? Short Answer The reason that evolutionists resist reality and true science is that they are either knowingly or unknowingly being influenced in one of the New Age religions, probably Humanism, Atheism, or Agnosticism, and that influence is making it impossible for them to be objective. Evolution isn\'t science. There is no proof of evolution, and, in fact, there are a growing number of... Why Are Rationalized Speculations False? Evolution is an alternate story to what God says happened. God\'s story checks out scientifically if we eliminate the Atheistic assumptions of Atheistic science. In fact, God\'s story matches what we can observe while the competing story, evolution, does not. The evolutionists have not even been able to tell an uncheckable lie, but even if they were able to tell such a lie, that would not... Why Resort To Post-Modernism and Chaos Theory? Short Answer The reason evolution-scientists had to resort to post-modernism and chaos theory is that it was a last-ditch effort to save the debunked hypothesis of evolution. Under post-modernism, there are no absolutes, so observation means nothing. Science is defined to mean whatever the evolution-scientists want it to mean. Under that form of lunacy, people can believe in evolution despite the obvious scientific facts. Evolution... Evolution\'s Cultic Dogma Here is a quick explanation of why evolution is religious dogma of many cults and it is not science. EVOLUTION IS A SERIES OF BROKEN ARGUMENTS A common tactic of Evolutionists is to stack one bogus argument on top of another and continue this process hoping to bury you in the debris. On examining each argument, you find that not one of them has any value. Since they have no...

Evolution is NOT Science Many... If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. While this page may be interesting to some people, it is really not necessary to become a scientist to know that God created everything just the way that He said He did and in the time frame that He said He did. Some people say that evolution and old-Earthism are examples of science. That... If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. The Second Law of Theromdynamics Makes Evolution Impossible You have probably heard of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Do you understand it? It\'s not to hard to understand. If you paint a fence white, after a few years, the paint is looking pretty bad. That\'s what the Second Law of Thermodynamics is all about. The Evolutionists... If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. The Obvious: Information, Complexity, and Order Do not Happen by Chance Both the Bible and science agree: God created the heavens and the earth. Every single method of testing the age of the earth is based on circular reasoning. In other words, you need to know the age you want it to be before you... If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. Spontaneous Ordering/Separating As Opposed to Complexifying or Adding Information Spontaneous ordering or separating has nothing to do with complexifying or adding information. There are many natural examples of spontaneous ordering. Adding raw energy to water can make steam separate, but that adds no complexity or information to the water. Evolutionists say that adding raw... If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. The Theory of Evolution (it\'s really just a model, not a scientific theory) Conflicts With the Proven Law of Entropy The claim that matter goes from less complex to more complex structures directly conflicts with the observable and proven law of entropy, the second law of thermodynamics. In addition, after many millions of tax dollars spent... If you have not read Stories Versus Truth, you may want to read that before reading this. Neanderthal Man You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. Every time we turn around, the scientists are changing their minds about neanderthal man. They can do this because they have changed the meaning of the word, science. Science used to mean knowledge.... Science and Logic are Limited Tools It is illogical to apply logic past its own limits and then claim that the results make sense. It is unscientific to apply science past its own limits and then claim that the results are valid. Human weakness keeps scientists and theologians from understanding because human minds are sadly lacking in the ability to perceive. The invention of instruments, such as the microscope and telescope, have... Question: Why is it so difficult for a doctor of philosopher to believe The Holy Bible? I am about to witness to a PhD philosopher. Answer: It\'s important that you realize what your responsibility is and is not. You are responsible to be obedient to the Holy Spirit. You are not responsible to lead this PhD to Christ. The Holy Spirit does that through you if it is to happen. So, you need...
