The Age of the Earth - Billions or Thousands?

from Crossroads: Creation and the Cosmos · host Alec

How old is the Earth, really? Science tells us it’s billions of years old. Scripture suggests only thousands. In this first episode of Crossroads: Creation and the Cosmos, Alec explores the tension between radiometric dating, biblical genealogies, and the meaning of time itself. Could both science and Scripture be telling the truth — in different ways? What if the age of the Earth isn’t the most important question… but the lens through which we’re asking it?
