Once again, Darwin believed that life evolved from a single organism over thousands or possibly millions of years ago, he never actually came up with this theory all on his own. Darwin was a fan of Charles Lyell, his three volume work Principles of Geology
did much to convince Darwin that the Earth was very old and that
geological change took place slowly over the course of millions of
years.
Evolutionists believe that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, they base their theory on rocks. Here is what they suggest, the believe that the oldest rocks on the earth date back to about 3.8 billion years ago and claim they can be found on North America,
Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia. However, they also contradict themselves, saying, unfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material
that is solely from the Earth. There is evidence that energy from
the Earth's accumulation caused the surface to be molten. Further,
the processes of erosion and crustal recycling have apparently
destroyed all of the earliest surface. While these values do not compute an age for the Earth, they do
establish a lower limit (the Earth must be at least as old as any
formation on it). This lower limit is at least concordant with the
independently derived figure of 4.55 billion years for the Earth's
actual age. They got one thing right with their theory, the Earth, must be at least as old as any formation on it.
Some, evolutionists even have begun to compromise by professing to believe in the Biblical account of creation and in Darwin's theory, calling themselves "Theistic Evolutionists." However, they believe that a day can range anywhere from ten thousand to a million years. Let's think about this for a minute, even if God did take one million years to complete one day then their calculations on the age of the rocks are incorrect. God created dry land on the third day, that would make the rocks three million years old, He created man and land animals on the sixth day, that would mean that humans and animals have been on the earth together for six million years.
Proof of The Earths Age
Humans were as smart as humans are today, maybe even smarter. They did not have all the tools and technology that we have today and yet have accomplished some pretty awesome construction projects last the last 5000 years. The Great Pyramids of Egypt (4,500 years ago), the Great Wall of China extending 3,400 miles in length (started 2,700 years ago), the Silbury Hill of England (4,600 years ago) and the Stonehenge of England (5,000 years ago) are all great examples of structures were made by man and date back approximately 4,500 years. Locations all over the Earth where civilizations would typically choose to live date back 4,000 years according to archaeological diggings, also our complex languages like Greek date back 4,000 years with little change from the modern language.
James Ussher (1581-1656), Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland, and Vice-Chancellor of Trinity College in Dublin Ireland, is famous for his discovery of the age of the earth. Using biblical genealogies from Genesis 5 and 11, and other supporting Biblical passages, he pieced together a timeline for Biblical events. Many Bibles have this timeline in the margins, indicating the estimated year that the events on that page occurred. He estimated that the earth was created in 4,004 B.C. He even goes as far as an exact date, October 23, 4004 B.C. Ussher came up with this estimate by taking a well known point in Biblical history, the fall of Jerusalem in 588 B.C. (II Kings 24) and counted back in time, using the genealogies and number of years that these people lived. He simply added up the ages of every ancestor up to Adam, resulting in Adam being created in 4,004 B.C. His references are often used in Bibles, including the Authorized version of the King James Bible.
God Created Adam and Eve From The Earth
God tells of how He created Adam, "And the LORD God
formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils
the breath of life; and man became a living soul." - Genesis 2:7
God tells of how He created Eve, "And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof............And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." - Genesis 8,19-23
How Old Evolutionists Believe The Earth to Be
Evolutionists believe that the earth is about 4.5 billion years old, they base their theory on rocks. Here is what they suggest, the believe that the oldest rocks on the earth date back to about 3.8 billion years ago and claim they can be found on North America,
Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia. However, they also contradict themselves, saying, unfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material

God created dry land on the third day, that would make the rocks three million years old, He created man and land animals on the sixth day, that would mean that humans and animals have been on the earth together for six million years.
Proof of The Earths Age
Evolutionists use generally five different methods in determining the age of matter, the salt content in oceans, the deposit of sediments (the matter that settles to the bottom of a liquid), the rate of soil erosion, the disintegration of radioactive materials, and Libby's Carbon 14 experiment.
Problems can be found with all of
these methods, but the biggest problem of all is the method that they have
chosen to ignore, that is the study of Half Lives. This is where one figures the current rate of
decay or deterioration of something and then figures backwards to see how long
this process has been going. For example, if one fills his gas tank up with
gas and drives for 100 miles, you can figure that he's driven 100 miles if you
know how may miles his car will travel per gallon.
The dating of matter works the same way, except
in science this is called the study of Half Lives. Evolutionists tend to steer
away from this field of study, for it is very capable of demolishing their theories that the universe and the earth is billions of years old.
Just imagine that the earth was 4.5 billion years old like the evolutionists say, the sun is continuously burning out (getting smaller too) at a rate of 5 ft per hour, that means that a hundred thousand years ago the sun would have been twice the size it is now. A million years ago it would have been twice the size of that. Just think about this for a minute, if the earth is as old as the evolutionist say then the sun would have been so big that it would have been touching the earth twenty million years ago. It would have burned up the earth and life would not even be here by now.
Another flaw in their theory is moon dust, meteors and meteorites cause interplanetary
dust to fall upon the earth at a rate of at least 14 million tons per year.
If the planets and moon were as old as the evolutionists say, there should be a layer of space dust on the moon over 500 feet thick. However, when the astronauts landed on the moon, less than three inches of dust were found, if you do the calculations, it proves that the earth could not be more than six thousand years old.
The Earth Before The Fall of Man:
Before there was sin in the world, man did not have to work for food, everything was given to man, meaning that everything was whole and intact and did not need to be planted. Another amazing fact here is that it did not rain until the great flood, the Earth was watered by a mist that came up out of the ground. "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground." - Genesis 2:1-6The Earth After The Fall Of Man
Because of their sin, man now had to work in the fields, they had to plant seeds and till the land in order to eat. "And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." - Genesis 3:17-19.The First Rain
The first rain to ever hit the earth was when God caused the flood, "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth." - Genesis 7:4Humans On Earth
A timeline is defined as a linear representation of important events in the order in which they occurred. Given the earths timeline, and if God did take six million years to create man, than there would have been some signs of civilization going back to this time, but there are no signs of civilization beyond six thousand years. Evolutionists will argue with this fact and their excuse, of course there were no signs because modern humans did not exist at that time, they were ape-like creatures with no intelligence. The truth is that they simply do not have proof that there was life on earth six million years ago. So, their theories are simple null and void because it is clearly proven that no man or even animal has been on the earth for more than six thousand years.Humans were as smart as humans are today, maybe even smarter. They did not have all the tools and technology that we have today and yet have accomplished some pretty awesome construction projects last the last 5000 years. The Great Pyramids of Egypt (4,500 years ago), the Great Wall of China extending 3,400 miles in length (started 2,700 years ago), the Silbury Hill of England (4,600 years ago) and the Stonehenge of England (5,000 years ago) are all great examples of structures were made by man and date back approximately 4,500 years.
