Recently, some scientists in the UK found some footprints and they claim that these
prints are at least 800,000 years old.
They are obviously starting with the assumption that the earth is millions and billions of
years old.
It is a shame, but most people reading an article like this would never question
how they came up with the date of 800,000 years.
They would just assume that it is true.
So how did they come up with this date of 800,000 years?
Well let's take a closer look at the article.
Scientists dated the footprints by studying their geological position and from nearby
fossils of long extinct animals including mammoth, ancient horse, and early vole.
So they dig around in the dirt, and since these footprints were in a certain position
or depth in the dirt, they must be 800,000 years old.
That is not science.
That is stupid.
They say, well we know that these footprints are 800,000 years old because we find these
other fossils in this particular layer that are 800,000 years old.
They call them index fossils.
Well this brings up another question.
How do you know these index fossils are 800,000 years old?
They say they know this because of what geological layer it is in.
So they know how old the fossil is because of the layer, and they know how old the layer
is because of the fossil.
That doesn't make any sense at all.
It is circular reasoning.
We need to start with the Bible on all matters.
You see, 6,000 years ago God created everything.
About 4,400 years ago there was a worldwide flood.
2,000 years ago was the life of Jesus Christ and here we are today about 2,000 years later.
So obviously, using the Bible as our starting point, these footprints are less than 6,000
years old.
I highly recommend that you watch the creation seminar by Dr. Kent Hovind.
With topics like the age of the earth, the garden of eden, dinosaurs in the Bible,
and lies in the textbooks, he demolishes the evolutionary world view and shows that
the Bible is absolutely 100% correct.
