The Young Earth

Did God create our world in six literal days, or did it evolve on its own over countless eons of time? The age of the earth—a key question in the creation/evolution debate—has been portrayed as an issue of science versus religion, but is it really that simple?

The answers to these questions are vital to understanding not just earth science, but also the biblical record. Dr. John Morris' The Young Earth scientifically examines the evidence to see what the earth actually reveals about itself. This classic and definitive work, newly revised and expanded, demonstrates that the Bible can be trusted in question of science and history.

The Young Earth offers both compelling scientific analysis and effective biblical exposition. A powerful resource, it also includes a CD with PowerPoint presentations that illustrate such key concepts as salt levels in the oceans, the age of the atmosphere, the accumulation of ocean sediments, and much more.

Scientifically, irrefutably, the truth of God's world proclaims the truth of God's Word!
