Proving The Age Of The Earth

This book takes the reader on a journey from the beginning of creation to the present age through a Biblical sieve, and after that, through a series of scientific filters. A foundation is established for the trustworthiness of Scripture and then the age of the earth is calculated using the Bible alone. Later, a chapter is dedicated to learning how to avoid being deceived by certain incorrect, yet commonly believed, conclusions from the sciences. Then, the historical record and scientific data are examined from outside the Bible to show how it dovetails amazingly well with Scripture. The book is written in such a way to appeal to the common person, despite its occasional graceful forays into the depth of various subject matters.
