Chapter 10: Evidence for a YOUNG Earth (continued)

Connect…

If you build a house, you must gather building materials to a location. You need cement, sand, blocks,
metal sheets for the roof, doors made from wood or metal, plastic pipes for drainage, and so on. You
can only create something out of materials already existing. You cannot simply go to the job site and
create a house out of NOTHING. But that is what God did. How is that possible? Today, we will see
what a powerful Creator God is.

Objectives…

1. The student should be able to list 15 more scientific pieces of evidence for a young Earth.

Ph.D.) (https://www.icr.org/article/evidence-for-young-world/)

The total energy stored in the Earth's magnetic field ("dipole" and "non-
dipole") is decreasing with a half-life of 1,465 (± 165) years. Evolutionary

theories explaining this rapid decrease and how the Earth could have
maintained its magnetic field for billions of years are very complex and Electrical resistance
inadequate. A much better creationist theory exists. It is straightforward, based in the Earth's core
on sound physics, and explains many features of the field: its creation, rapid wears down the
reversals during the Genesis flood, surface intensity decreases and increases until electrical current,

intensity) has always decayed at least as fast as now. At that rate, the field could the field to lose
