Is the earth really millions of years old?

No! It is important to first recognize the entire idea of an old earth was born from the evolutionary religion doctrine where the idea of one life form transitioning into another required millions of years. Beginning with this bias, evolutionists then set out in an attempt to justify it.

Nothing on this earth can be factually claimed with 100% certainty past the age of 4,400 years. Anything earlier than this time requires mans fallible assumptions, which have consistently proven to be inconsistent to the extreme.

We can't be absolute about the specific age of the earth because the Bible doesn't provide all the information necessary for certainty, as shown by the fact that almost every Bible scholar who has ever tried to discern the exact date has come to slightly different conclusions. It's quite possible that all the information is there but we just don't fully understand it yet.

We have made every honest attempt to calculate the age of the earth using the following scriptures and this effort can be viewed under our Creation Timeline section:

Genesis 1, 2, 5, 7:6, 9:28, 11, 17:24, 21:5, 25:7, 25:26, 35:28, 47:28, Exodus 7:7, 12:40-41, Deuteronomy 34:7, I Samuel 13:1, Judges, I Kings 2:10-11, 6:1, 11:42, and II Kings, Daniel, I & II Chronicles, the Gospels, and the book of Acts.

In the illustration on that link, we have not allowed any gaps in time from Adam’s creation on the sixth day, to his eventual death 930 years later. In addition, and serving as a means for checks and balances, we have used secular historical records from their beginnings of, about 1998 bc, to confirm the Biblical dates after this time frame. Since secular historical records do not pre-date 1998bc, the Bible was used exclusively for all dates prior to this time. We are comfortable with the mathematical calculations derived from those Biblical dates that pre-date 1998 bc. It is probable that we are not exact in our calculation due to a number of inferences on our part, however, we are comfortable in saying we are not off by hundreds, or even millions of years as the evolutionists are.

When answering this question, there are three very important points to first address here:

1) The promoted age of the earth, as determined by mans fallible methods, is based on numerous unverifiable assumptions, so there is no way one can prove the earth is 3.6 billion years old. However, this theory, like evolution, is dogmatically taught as fact. 2) This unverifiable age is being used to interpret the Bible. Rather than accepting the Bible for what it literally says, man’s fallible theories are ultimately undermining the use of language to communicate. 3) Evolutionary scientists claim the fossil layers over the earth’s surface date back hundreds of millions of years. As soon as one allows millions of years for the fossil layers, then one has accepted death, bloodshed, disease, thorns, and suffering before "the fall".

Suffice it to say that no one could conclude that Scripture specifically places Creation any longer ago than about six thousand years ago yet allot of Bible believing Christians are unaware of this because they've been so indoctrinated with evolutionary propaganda that they've accepted billions of years as fact. Because scripture specifically teaches a young earth, the time has come for Christians to stop twisting Scripture to fit the evolutionary and uniformitarian speculations of some scientists about the unobserved past. I'd suggest it's time for such Christians to stop calling themselves "Bible-believing" Christians and start using some such name as "world-believing" Christians.
