Earth Age Debate

"Earth Age Debate" tackles the complex and often contentious discussion surrounding the age of the Earth, a topic at the intersection of Biblical Studies and Earth Sciences. It navigates the contrasting viewpoints arising from literal interpretations of the biblical timeline and the scientific data from geological science, particularly radiometric dating. Readers may find intriguing the fact that radiometric dating relies on the predictable decay of radioactive isotopes to estimate the age of rocks and minerals. The book also explores the range of biblical interpretations, from young-Earth creationism to old-Earth models, all seeking to reconcile faith and science.

The book begins by outlining the fundamental principles of radiometric dating and the range of views on the biblical timeline. It progresses by examining various dating methods, analyzing their assumptions and limitations, and then interpreting geological formations and events like the Grand Canyon and the fossil record through different lenses. This approach offers readers a balanced perspective, encouraging them to form their own informed conclusions on the Earth age debate by understanding both scientific and theological viewpoints.

Ultimately, understanding this debate has implications for science education, environmental stewardship, and interfaith dialogue.
