     Sarfati tries to use standard young earth creation science arguments as evidence for a young earth.  Most of these are already rebutted by this web site and others.  Instead of repeating information from other web pages, I'll provide links to the rebuttals.

     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.  Click here for more.
