What is the best evidence for a young earth?

10.4 Let’s Practice…

1. Explain why the decay of the earth’s gravitational force demonstrates a young earth.
2. How does rock strata that is bent demonstrate a young earth?
3. How is the evidence of Carbon 14 in deep strata (and in diamonds) show evidence for
a young earth.
4. How far back do you have to go before history of man is in written form?

5. What is an index fossil? Why does their existence today demonstrate a young earth?
6. If you find fossil evidence for rain drops or foot prints of animals in the sand, how does that
demonstrate a young earth?
7. Scientists recently found over 400 fossils of creature from the phylum Entoprocta which is composed
of all soft body parts. Explain why this recent find is so significant to the young earth proponents.

10.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Which is harder? To believe that a powerful God designed and created all that we see or that
all that we see was simply a product of chance and accidents? And when you look at the
creation, you see an explosion of design. You see how systems interact with other systems and
how everything is perfectly balanced. It all came from the mind of a God who loves His
creation. He created the metal that man used to make nails. He created the wood that man
used to make a cross. And He came as a man to be willing to lay down His life for the ones who rejected
Him, all because of His great love.

Write down a person’s name that you know does not know about this wonderful God:

Now write down a plan of how you can go to that person and tell them about Him. Perhaps you could
invite them over for a meal? Perhaps you could take them a gift. Write down your plan.
