What Do We Do With Geology's Unconforming Features? | The Creation Podcast: Episode 97
Welcome to the fifth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.
A geological phenomenon known as the Great Unconformity exists all across the world. This erosional surface presents a problem to uniformitarian scientists and old-earth creationists alike. Where did it come from? How is it so remarkably smooth? What could cause an erosional surface to such a global extent?
In today’s episode we’ll take a look at the Great Unconformity and unravel the mysteries within the rocks.

Humanity's Demise at the Hands of Genetic Entropy | The Creation Podcast: Episode 96
Welcome to the fourth episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.
Proponents of biological evolution claim that creatures are evolving upward over millions of years, becoming better and ‘more fit’ to survive with each successive generation through the accumulation of ‘beneficial mutations.’ However, even the most cursory dive into genetics shows something entirely different. In fact, the accumulation of mutations is detrimental, and also causes major problems with the concept of biologically long ages.
In today’s episode we’ll explore the evidence in an effort to reveal what’s going on beneath the skin.

Cracks in the Layers: Lake Suigetsu and the Old Earth Illusion | The Creation Podcast: Episode 95
Welcome to the third episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.
Lake Suigetsu is a large lake located near the coast of the Sea of Japan with a depth of about 34 meters at its center. Old Earth Creationists claim that the sediments from this lakebed absolutely show that the Earth is at least 50 thousand years old. What evidence are these scientists looking at that supposedly provide ironclad proof that the Young Earth Creationist model is wrong?
In today’s episode we’ll explore the evidence in an effort to uncover “The Truth About Lake Suigetsu,” dismantling the poor science that causes many well-meaning individuals down a path that only leads to error.

The Soulless Hominid Theory: A Fatal Flaw in Old Earth Creationism | The Creation Podcast: Episode 94
Welcome to the second episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.
The conversation surrounding human origins has always been an intriguing one. One of the most debated subjects is the nature of the beings labeled ‘hominids,’ particularly Neanderthals. Biblical Creationists firmly place Neanderthals in the ‘human’ category—descendants of Adam and Eve, thus bearing God’s image. Most evolutionary biologists today also agree with Neanderthals being mostly human, leaving their genetic mark on our DNA through interbreeding.
Some old earth creationists suggest something quite different. They claim that Neanderthals were nothing more than animals—truly bipedal animals that are able to make and use tools, paint, and bury their dead—but animals nonetheless.
Is there any truth to this idea? Were they just animals? Or were they fully human, bearing the image of God? In today’s episode, we’ll dig into “The Mystery of the Soulless Hominids,” ex... More...

Glacial Archives: Mysteries Hidden Beneath the Ice | The Creation Podcast: Episode 93
Welcome to the first episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it often leads to major issues logically, scientifically, and theologically.
Today we’ll look at what is considered by many to be a strong argument for an old Earth: ice cores. Ice cores, cylindrical cores drilled from the thick ice sheets, are often presented as indisputable evidence of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years of Earth’s history, but how reliable are these claims? What assumptions lie beneath the surface of these interpretations? In this episode, we’ll discuss: what ice cores are and why they’re significant, the assumptions and flaws in Old Earth interpretations, and how ice cores ultimately align with a young Earth model.
