There is evidence that supports a Young Earth:
Answers in Genesis.
Is there evidence that the earth is much younger than the evolutionary scientists suggest that it is?
Without millions and billions of years, evolutionary history completely falls apart. Here are just a few of many credible pieces of evidence from various branches of science that tell of a world much younger than evolutionists claim.

Some of the evidence put forward in the article, and the particular field of study:
Geology: Radiocarbon in Diamonds
Astronomy: Recession of the Moon
Geology: Earth’s Decaying Magnetic Field
Biology: Dinosaur Soft Tissue
Anthropology: Human Population Growth
Geology: Tightly Folded Rock Strata
How Old is the Earth?
A simple reading of the Bible gives the reader the impression the earth is not very old. But that doesn’t fit with the evidence put forward in the numerous textbooks most of us studying during our time in school.
If you put the numbers together, the ages, dates, and years in the genealogies, we get about 6,000 years. Did God make a gigantic accounting error when he guided the original authors when they first wrote the bible? (read more here.) (and here)
Today’s modern theories about the age of the earth go much farther than a few thousand years. It seems silly to suggest a young age for the earth, but the facts are not as clear as we are led to believe.
Genesis One
Day One
In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth And; The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light And; God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night And. The evening and the morning were the first day.
Day Two
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters and; Let it divide the waters from the waters And; God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so, And. God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Day Three
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and. Let the dry land appear. and it was so, And God called the dry land Earth, and. Lhe gathering together of the waters called he Seas, and. God saw that it was good, And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so, And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good, And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Day Four
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years, And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so, And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also, And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good, And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Day Five
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven, And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good, And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth, And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Day Six
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so, And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and everything that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
In God’s Image
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them, And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.
Earth was given to Adam and Eve
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you, it shall be for meat, And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so, And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Then God Rested
That’s the story as God tells it in the first chapter of his bestseller, the Bible.
I went to school, learned all the scientific facts and theories, worked hard and received good grades. I understand why it has been taught that the earth is billions of years old. But the bible doesn’t support that theory. As hard as it is to believe for many, there are facts that support the evidence of a young earth created by an Almighty God.
God knew what he did thousands of years ago. His Spirit inspiring the writing of the text of the scriptures so those of us who weren’t there will have a record of his work not so long ago.
From a prophetic perspective, I believe there is an important reason for the six thousand years. I will write often about this subject in the future. It’s a lot more important than we understand.
Let me know what you think.
