We are all fixed to a certain page or chapter in history but God can skip ahead or return to a previous page at will. Most secular estimates put this age at 4.6 billion earth years. This age estimate is based largely on radiometric dating methods, many of which are known to be inaccurate under certain conditions. When one follows the Biblical chronology, it can be shown that Adam lived approximately 6,000 years ago. God caused life to enter into man.
Evolutionary theory says that life occurred spontaneously, with no external agent.
In fact, all laboratory attempts to create life from non-living chemicals have failed. But then, most biology texts turn right around and say that the first life forms must have begotten themselves. The idea of God working in nature is unacceptable to many scientists, perhaps because it defies explanation. And so they seek to find explanations that do not involve something so mysterious as God. As an institution, Central Christian College embraces the truths of scripture.
