Geology—Founded on God’s Word
Manage episode 476989734 series 90015
The idea that earth is millions of years old is actually a new idea. For most of church history, people believed Genesis. The earliest geologists believed the rock layers and fossils were the result of Noah’s flood just a few thousand years ago.
Eventually many scientists abandoned a young earth because they rejected the Bible. This wasn’t because geology showed the Bible was wrong. It was because they had already decided they didn’t believe the Bible before they ever looked at the rocks!
The problem was never the evidence—the problem was and still is an interpretation that rejects the eyewitness account of history.
