Most people do not realize it, but over 90% of dating results point to a young earth. However, evolution rejects the 90% and only acknowledges the 10%. In one year, 21,000 carbon-14 specimens were submitted and 19,000 were rejected.
Only 2,000 were considered accurate by evolutionist. Why?
“If life had evolved into its wondrous profusion of creatures little by little, then one would expect to find fossils of transitional creatures which were a bit like what went before them and a bit like what came after. But no one has yet found any evidence of such transitional creatures. This oddity has been attributed to gaps in the fossil record that gradualists expected to fill when rock strata of the proper age had been found. In the last decade, however, geologists have found rock layers of all divisions of the last 500 million years and no transitional forms were contained in them.” (Eldrege, Niles. The Guardian Weekly, 26. November 1978, vol. 119, no. 22, p. 1.)
It is the clear testimony of the Bible that “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth,” Gen. 1:1. The only account of the origin of the universe and life on planet earth is the written record of the first book of the Bible. All else concerning the creation of the universe and all living organisms is clearly delineated in the Genesis account.
The evidence we see all around us is confirmed in the biblical record. Every living thing reproduces “after its own kind.” All living creatures are genetically pre-programmed by DNA to reproduce just as the Creator designed them. Even though our DNA is programmed with a mechanism to correct problems with the system, e.g. mutations, sometimes mutations do occur leaving the organism, not more likely, but less likely to be able to survive.
The more we discover on the level of molecular biology, the more evidence we have for the intelligent design of all living systems. When all the evidence is uncovered and assimilated, the writers of the Bible finds themselves being vindicated by this same evidence.
In any case, the veracity of the Bible is constantly being tested and vindicated by the discoveries of true science and not the pseudo-science known today as the Theory of Evolution.
