Origins & Creation

Origins & Creation

Creation, chance, and coherence examined through science, Scripture, and logic. This category addresses origins models, information, order, and meaning—demonstrating why creation is not a retreat from science but a conclusion that survives it.

How Old is The Earth

We interpret the evidence as creatures. God speaks as Creator. Scripture gives us a chronology measured in thousands of years, not billions. The six days of creation, the seventh-day rest, and the genealogies that follow present a coherent history on the order of roughly 6,000 years. Against that stand competing reconstructions of the past—models built by men from evidence observed in the present. They deserve examination, but they are not eyewitness accounts, and they are not revelation.

They are complementary. Science describes the mechanisms of the universe. Creation explains its origin.
