Creation Ministries International | 4 Evidences for a Young Earth @creationministriesintl | Uploaded 9 months ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Everybody has heard—REPEATEDLY—that the earth is billions of years old. People are led to believe that this is an unassailable scientific fact.
IT’S NOT! There are many people—including well-qualified scientists—who believe the evidence can be read QUITE DIFFERENTLY. In fact, there are numerous lines of evidence that contradict the millions/billions-of-years idea, and instead point to a relatively ‘young’ Earth!
Join Dr Don Batten for an illuminating discussion of just FOUR such evidences. (And for many more evidences, see LINKS AND SHOW NOTES, below.)

00:25 Introduction: Four (of MANY) evidences the earth is young
01:30 *Evidence 1:* Soft tissue and other fragile organic compounds in fossils
01:36 → 1.1 In dinosaurs
02:38 → 1.2 In things said to be much older than dinosaurs
04:12 → 1.3 How do we know organic compounds can’t last that long?
05:56 → 1.4 How have long-age believers explained the discrepancies?
06:05 → 1.4.1 Rescue Device #1: Bacterial biofilms
06:58 → 1.4.2 Rescue Device #2: Iron from red blood cells
08:05 → 1.4.3 Rescue Device #3: Toast theory
09:47 *Evidence 2:* Carbon-14 in things said to be millions of years old
09:54 → 2.1 What is carbon-14?
11:33 → 2.2 How does carbon-14 provide evidence for a young Earth?
13:16 → 2.2.1 Example #1: Fossil wood from Crinum Coal Mine
15:07 → 2.2.2 Example #2: Fossil wood from Hawkesbury Sandstone
16:02 → 2.2.3 Example #3: Carbon-14 throughout the fossil record
19:32 *Evidence 3:* Not enough sedimentation to form the fossil record
20:16 → 3.1 Average yearly sedimentation rate throughout the fossil record
21:55 → 3.2 How much sediment, deposited how fast, is needed to form fossils?
24:28 *Evidence 4:* Absence of bioturbation in the rock record
24:36 → 4.1 What is bioturbation?
27:40 → 4.2 Even secular experts acknowledge the problem
28:37 Long ages don’t fit the evidence, but people are brainwashed to believe they MUST
29:27 Conclusion: Why does any of this even matter?
