Foundations of Creation: Volume 11

Radiometric dating is not the only clock — and in this compelling volume of Foundations of Creation, young readers are introduced to dozens of independent lines of evidence, drawn from geology, geophysics, biology, and human history, that all point to the same conclusion: the Earth is thousands of years old, not billions. The oceans contain far less salt and sediment than billions of years of accumulation would require. Earth’s magnetic field is measurably weakening at a rate that makes a multi-billion-year age impossible. Oil and gas reservoirs still hold pressure that would have leaked away long ago. Mountains should have eroded to flat plains many times over. Most remarkably, soft tissue, proteins, and flexible blood vessels have been recovered from dinosaur fossils — biological material that cannot survive millions of years under any known conditions. Human population growth, the absence of any civilization or writing system older than roughly 5,000 years, and the genetic evidence for a recent common ancestor all align with the biblical timeline. Like a courtroom case built on multiple independent witnesses, no single clue needs to carry the whole argument — together, they form a case that is extraordinarily difficult to dismiss. Dozens of clocks. One answer. Thousands of years.
