Comets: Evidence for Old or Young Earth? | Jeff Zweerink and Hugh Ross
Description
Join astrophysicists Hugh Ross and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries with theological and philosophical implications pointing to the reality of God’s existence.
For decades, young-earth creationists have used the existence of comets to argue that the earth can’t be a few billion years old. At first glance, this argument appears to have merit because comets are relatively short-lived phenomena. However, a closer examination of how comets formed and acquired orbits that bring them close to the Sun supports an old Earth. Even more importantly, cometary research provides strong evidence of God’s design in preparing Earth to support human life.
