Worldviews, Logic, & Earth’s Age - Part 1
Description
Can Christians embrace an old earth while maintaining biblical faithfulness? This challenging question strikes at the heart of competing worldviews. Logic demonstrates that deep time belongs naturally to naturalism, not Christianity, creating fundamental tensions for believers who accept billions of years.
The argument reveals how old-earth theories align perfectly with naturalistic assumptions about reality, knowledge, and history. Meanwhile, Scripture's creation-fall-flood narrative, biblical chronology, and core doctrines like divine providence point consistently toward a young earth. Written by John K Reed.

Paradigmatic?! Why use words like that in this article read out by a droning synthesized voice? This is Communication Skills 101: don't use obscure or complicated words where simpler ones will suffice. I had to replay several times to even figure out what word it was saying. And then I had to go look it up in a dictionary, and even now I'm not 100% sure of the intended meaning.
Ugh! This is horrible to listen to. Instead of a human, we have to listen to a synthesized voice droning on and on and on. On top of that, the text it reads includes $50 words that academics use in their papers, when it should really substitute them for $5 terms that the average man in the street can follow. Is it really that hard to edit the text for clarity and then read it out yourself, human?
