YEC Review

Young Earth Creationists (YECs) hold a literal interpretation of the creation story in Genesis, which they believe occurred around 6,000-10,000 years ago. This view contradicts many well-established scientific principles. Here are 10 scientific errors commonly associated with Young Earth Creationism: Age of the Earth: Radiometric dating of rocks provides undeniable evidence that the Earth is billions of years old, far exceeding the YEC timeline. Fossil Record: The fossil record demonstrates the change of lifeforms over vast stretches of time, a core principle of that contradicts YECs who believe all species were created in a short period. Carbon Dating: Carbon dating is a well-established technique for determining the age of organic materials. YECs reject carbon dating results that contradict their beliefs. Geological Features: Grand Canyon rock layers and other geological formations demonstrate deep time and slow geological processes that cannot be explained within a

Here are 9 facts that establish the age of the Earth: Radiometric Dating: This technique measures the decay of radioactive isotopes in rocks and minerals. By determining the ratio of the parent isotope to the daughter isotope, scientists can calculate the age of the rock. Radiometric dating of meteorites, considered to be the oldest objects in the solar system, reveals an age of 4.54 billion years, which is considered the minimum age of the Earth. Stratigraphy:
