Rewinding the Clock! Literal Genesis — Kim Wall
-
- Christianity
Is the universe young or old? How would we know either way? Does it really matter? The current accepted age of the universe among many scientists is calculated to be 13.8 billion years (+/- 100my). While other scientists concur that the universe is much younger and cannot be older than 6,000 years (+/- 200y). In this session we will review both ages, how they were derived, underlying assumptions, and look closely at Genesis to see what God has recorded that may shed light on each approach. Ultimately, it becomes an important question as there are implications to the gospel itself depending on which path is taken.
