Refuting Evolution Arguments for Billions of Years

Statement of the Problem
There are primarily three power arguments used by evolutionists to saturate the media and educational system, and these arguments have a great deal of influence on our young people. The underlying motivation for these arguments is to destroy our faith in God. As a result, many with strong faith in God lose their faith when exposed to these "facts" disguised as science.

The purpose of this series of blogs is to refute these arguments, one by one and show that it is more reasonable to put one's faith in God rather than the so called science of evolution, which will be shown to also be based on faith in the religion of naturalism.

The Big Three Arguments in Physical Science

1. The Starlight and Time Argument
"Astronomers can observe galaxies billions of light years away from the earth. Since a light year is the distance light can travel in one year, the universe must be billions of years old."

2. The Geologic Column Argument
"Scientists find fossils in layers of rocks that are millions/billions of years old. We know these rock layers are millions/billions of years old because the fossils found in these rock layers are millions/billions of years old. We know the fossils are millions/billions of years old because they are found in rock layers that are millions/billions of years old."

3. The Radiometric Dating Argument
"Scientists know that radioactive elements decay into other elements as a result of alpha particle (a helium nucleus composed of 2 protons and two neutrons)and beta particle (an electron)decay with half lives ranging from 5700 years for C-14 (radioactive carbon) to millions of years for Uranium to Lead or Rubidium to Strontium decay, for example. Making certain assumptions, the fossils can dated using this technique and it agrees with the millions/billions of years in Argument 2.

Stay tuned as we explore in detail and refute each of these arguments!
