Creation Science Book Review
Is the Big Bang Biblical?
Question #57. When did Sue live?
Review by Greg Neyman

Review Published April 2006
Sue is a T-Rex fossil which was found in South Dakota, and it is reported to date to around 67 million years old. Morris gives some interesting facts about Sue, meant to show that Morris knows what he is talking about (a common young earth tactic, to blind the reader).
The argument that Morris uses is the issue of death before sin, and the issue of the creation being pronounced "very good" by God. Neither of these issues are important theologically. You can accept a literal Genesis, inerrant Bible, and believe in death before sin, a "very good" creation, and an old earth. These issues have previously been discussed in the opening questions of this book, in Section 1. I urge readers to check out these answers.
You may also find our section on Death Before Sin to be of help.
In answering this question, he fails to address any of the old earth dating techniques used to date Sue.
To learn the real truth about Sue, check out the web pages from her current location, The Field Museum in Chicago.
If you are not a Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for Christ because the Church always preached a message that was contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.
