Science is Our Friend
Lesson One: Just How Old is the Earth?
A literal understanding of the biblical chronologies places the Flood no earlier than about 2,500 B.C. and the creation no earlier than about 6,000 B.C. (Allowance for unlisted names in the biblical chronologies pushes back these dates, but not much). However, the long Bristlecone Pine chronology, comprised of hundreds of live and dead trees, is over 8,000 years long. The presence of fossiliferous sediment under the Bristlecone Pines rules out any of them being pre-Flood. So there is a biological history that exceeds the theoretical young age of the Earth.
Lesson Two: Water
Lesson Three: Gravity
