Description: "Secular scientists believe there were at least five major ice ages in Earth history that happened over millions of years, based on their interpretations of evidence from such things as ice cores and seafloor sediments. But a straightforward reading of the Bible indicates a young age for the earth: about 6,000 years. Do the scientific data really support multiple ice ages over long time periods? Dr. Jake Hebert sifts the evidence and demonstrates that while secular science fails to explain the Ice Age, the events recorded in Genesis provide real answers. In science, as in life, the Bible holds the key"--Cover page [4] (edited).
