Evolution vs Young Earth Creationism

Catastrophic EventsOn March 19, 1982 a minor eruption near the summit of Mount St. Helens caused a large mudflow that created a canyon in just nine hours. [1][2] This canyon, dubbed the "Little Grand Canyon", goes to show how catastrophic events can form major natural structures rapidly. The "Little Grand Canyon" locatednear Mount St. Helens.Imagine the impact of a much larger catastrophe, such as the Great Flood of Noah. A catastrophe as large as that could have caused Pangaea to split into multiple continents quickly. In fact, there is evidence supporting the Great Flood including the fact that "the majority of our planet's sedimentary rock appears to have accumulated rapidly by means of a worldwide flood". [3] On top of this, fossils themselves are evidence for a catastrophe such as a flood that take place in the past. [4] Even more interesting is that scientists have found whale fossils in deserts. [5] This is obvious evidence of a global flood that would have enabled whales to swim through areas that are now deserts. The Bible's Accuracy In Historical DocumentationThe Bible's account of history is very accurate. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon which appeared in the Bible and was doubted by many, actually did exist. [6] The Hanging Gardens of Babylon pictured above.In fact, the Bible is so accurate that it brought two famous secular 20th-century archaeologists, being William F. Albright and Nelson Glueck, to praising the Bible as the "single most accurate source document from history". [7] Evidence for the Bible's historical accuracy continues. The supposedly mythical Hittites people mentioned in the Bible, whose existence was denied by many, was actually proven to be true despite much denial of the people's existence. [8]DNA Supports CreationDespite the secular community's claim that humans genomes are 98% similar to chimp genomes in reality, when we look at all the DNA, it only adds up to 70% which is a significant difference from before. [9] The reason the number still seems high is that humans actually share various traits with chimps just as with other animals, such as breathing, drinking water, etc. This is evidence that the DNA in both chimps and humans were intelligently designed specifically for both species by an almighty powerful Creator.Soft Parts of DinosaursOut of all the evidence for the age of the Earth, this is one of the most well-established and interesting pieces of information. Scientists have found soft tissue, as well as flexible blood vessels in an unfossilized dinosaur bone. [10] In fact the scientist who discovered this, Mary Schweitzer, was so surprised at this finding that she tried to disprove it, yet she failed to do so and came to the conclusion that they were indeed red blood cells. [11] The cells pictured above found in a T. rex bone would not last longer than a few thousand years. What this piece of evidence for Creationism shows is that, (since red blood cells and hemoglobins can't last for more than a few thousand years) the Earth is not as old as Evolutionists make it to be. Earth's Magnetic FieldIn the 1970s, scientist Dr. Thomas Barnes found that the Earth's magnetic field is decaying at a 5% rate per century. [12] Barnes proposed that our planet's magnetic field was caused by a delaying electric current. [13] If the Earth were to be indeed more than 10,000 years old, Barnes calculated that the original strength of the electric current would have been big enough to melt the Earth. [14] The diagram shows how the Earth’s magnetic field has changed over time. The intensity shown in the graph could not have been much higher than the starting point shown, indicating a young Earth.
