- I recently came to the conclusion that it was time to set down in one place my reasons for approaching Genesis the way I do. I have noticed that the topic has become a matter of increased debate in classical Christian circles - and because schools cannot honestly stay out of it - it matters a great deal what we teach and why. So here are seven theses on the age of the earth.
Doug Wilson's Blog & Mablog video is presented by Canon Press.

Millions of years guys would be comedy relief if their misdirection wasn’t so tragic, and false. God could’ve done everything he said in Genesis in a microsecond. The days were for our benefit.
The temperature at the centre of a star is solidly worked out from physics. Its not conjecture. Secondly I’m a Christian who holds to an old earth persuasion but accept biological evolution as pseudoscience.
I want a reaction video to Willie Lane Craig's crazy ideas of a millions years old earth and neanderthals being our first ancestors (before adam in some talks, and adam was one in others). And he believes wholly in macro evolution. Would like to get a biblical christian, like Doug, in a Doug Reacts/ Responds video! Thank you brother Doug, and all at Canon Press
"They have Moses and the prophets. If they do not believe them, they will not believe even if someone raises from the dead."
I've never understood people who can believe God created stars, but then find it impossible that He could also create the light. HE CREATED STARS! Let that sink in.
Misidentify the heaven and earth of Genesis, as Doug Wilson has done here, and a mess like this follows.
One has to deny their God given senses to believe this 🌎.
So if God made the light between the distant stars and us then there is no reason to believe that those distant stars actually exist if I believe the universe is young. He could just be sending light to us that makes us "think" it is a galaxy or star, but in this view it doesn't actually have to be there. This feels like deception.
On the way home from the Creation Museum today. What a slice of heaven on earth. Good people, thoughtful conversation, and hope for the future in word and deed. It all starts with the authority of the scriptures and uncompromised proclaiming of the truth. Highly recommended for any family weary of all the places the world would have you go on a family trip.
It astounds me how we Christians go on about believing the Bible as the infallible Word of God, speaking absolute truth on matters even when it comes to science, but we ignore what the Bible says in terms of the ancient Hebrew understanding of cosmology-which was based on scripture. According to this monologue it is appropriate to exclude people who do not believe the Bible from the debate about the age of the earth, but then assumes we should be deferring to those same people when it comes to the "solar system" and "space". Neither NASA nor the scientific establishment accepts the Bible's thesis on the origin of life or the age of the earth. They think we are literally insane for believing a sky man magically created everything out of nothing. We are skeptical of the corruption and lies of government, with many examples cited by Doug himself. Yet, we trust them blindly when it comes to cosmology; based on what? The same
Bruh, those last lines got me. Only Doug Wilson.
I'm from a family of charismatics turned Southern Baptists back when they were the sing song types. Anyways my parents erroneously thought smart = rich so as a kid I was forced into the sciences. Naturally as a little boy the only thing of appeal is dinosaurs and Jurassic Park came out soon afterwards. That being said I got really into paleontology but realized it didn't pay many bills and instead became a chemist but remained an enthusiast. STAY with me please.
Amen. So clear and needed. Thanks Doug
We just visited the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter!!!!! Fabulous! Thanks Doug! keep up the great/faithful work!!!!!!
Thank you, pastor Wilson!!
Thank you Doug. Well said.
Once again, Mr. Wilson has "hit the nail on the head." Fundamentally, this is an issue of, "which presuppositions do we use to interpret the data around us." Thank you.
This is so important, and also surprising to me that it is as controversial among Christian’s as it is.
I could not love this video more! 💕
Yes!
