DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Twenty-somethings once faithfully attended church. What made them stop? While most said they still believe that the Bible is God's Word, they also said that the idea that the earth is millions of years old was one thing that caused them to doubt the bible? The crumbling foundation of the church takes a devastating toll on future generations. Therefore, churches must reclaim the historical truth found in Genesis and apply the Bible's authority to every area of life." -Ken Ham, President Answers in Genesis As the modern Church struggles to find a place of relevancy for a new generation that already has massive demands on its time and attention, more and more young people raised in the Church are leaving it - failing to find the answers to their questions of faith and life, beset with doubts raised by issues that the Church chooses not to address. Opting to skirt the controversy of Genesis as literal history, the biblical authority of the Holy Word is called into question and reduced to a collection of mere stories. More popularly considered an issue for schools or in the public realm, the conflicting views on the age of the earth also remain a pivotal issue within the Church - as it has for over two centuries. Was the Creation week literally six days? Does science really point to an old earth? Does the issue really matter for Christians? Should this issue even be discussed within the Church? Join authors Dr. Jason Lisle and Tim Chaffey as they put forth a case against an old-earth interpretation of Scripture. A comprehensive biblical, theological, and scientific critique of old-earth creationism, the book presents its compelling testimony in layman's terms to create a powerful debate that leads to unquestionable truth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe purpose of this book is to show that there is another perspective on God's Creation that is a much better fit with both the teachings of the Bible, and the observations of science, than the view held by Young Earth Creationists. If you or someone you know has questions about the Bible and the age of the Earth and Universe, this book will answer many of your questions. The Bible makes it clear in Psalm 90 that God views time differently than we do. A thousand years to us is like yesterday to God, or 3 hours last night when we were asleep. Young Earth Creationists hold that the Earth is only 6000 years old, and that the Earth was created in six 24-hour days. This book presents 27 biblical and scientific reasons why this cannot be true. After God created the heavens and a not yet fully formed Earth empty of life, He took six of His days to make the Earth fully formed and full of life. According to Genesis, the heavens and the early Earth could be any age, before Day One begins. Genesis Two tells us that more happened between when God created Adam and when God brought Eve to Adam, than can fit into one day. A study of light shows it is not possible for light to reach us from distant stars and galaxies if the Universe is only 6000 years old. This challenges the Appearance of Age argument. Noah's Flood, 4500 years ago (as Young Earth Creationists claim), cannot possibly explain all the sedimentary rock, fossils, layers of ice, lake sediment layers, the Grand Canyon, and many other features we find on Earth. Then there are the Bristlecone Pine trees that are older than Creation, and grow on mountains that did not exist until after Noah's Flood. This book examines these claims, and many others, that contradict the Bible as well as other observations made here on Earth. We do well to examine these claims, so that we can be more effective in sharing the Christian Gospel with people around us.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the last forty years, scientists have uncovered evidence that if the Universe had been forged with even slightly different properties, life as we know it - and life as we can imagine it - would be impossible. Join us on a journey through how we understand the Universe, from its most basic particles and forces, to planets, stars and galaxies, and back through cosmic history to the birth of the cosmos. Conflicting notions about our place in the Universe are defined, defended and critiqued from scientific, philosophical and religious viewpoints. The authors' engaging and witty style addresses what fine-tuning might mean for the future of physics and the search for the ultimate laws of nature. Tackling difficult questions and providing thought-provoking answers, this volumes challenges us to consider our place in the cosmos, regardless of our initial convictions.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat did the writer of Genesis mean by “the first day”? Is it a literal week or a series of time periods? If I believe that the earth is 4.5 billion years old, am I denying the authority of Scripture? In response to the continuing controversy over the interpretation of the creation narrative in Genesis, John Lennox proposes a succinct method of reading and interpreting the first chapters of Genesis without discounting either science or Scripture. With examples from history, a brief but thorough exploration of the major interpretations, and a look into the particular significance of the creation of human beings, Lennox suggests that Christians can heed modern scientific knowledge while staying faithful to the biblical narrative. He moves beyond a simple response to the controversy, insisting that Genesis teaches us far more about the God of Jesus Christ and about God’s intention for creation than it does about the age of the earth. With this book, Lennox offers a careful yet accessible introduction to a scientifically-savvy, theologically-astute, and Scripturally faithful interpretation of Genesis.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor Christians, the issues raised by the different views on creation and evolution are challenging. Can a "young earth" be reconciled with a universe that appears to be billions of years old? Does scientific evidence point to a God who designed the universe and life in all its complexity? Three Views on Creation and Evolution deals with these and similar concerns as it looks at three dominant schools of Christian thought. Proponents of young earth creationism, old earth creationism, and theistic evolution each present their different views, tell why the controversy is important, and describe the interplay between their understandings of science and theology. Each view is critiqued by various scholars, and the entire discussion is summarized by Phillip E. Johnson and Richard H. Bube. The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.
