“Millions of Years: The Idea’s Unscientific Origin and Catastrophic Consequences”
To really understand what is wrong with belief in millions of years, we need to go back to the early 19th century and study the origin of this idea. This unique and interesting lecture, based on Dr. Mortenson’s PhD research, will clearly show that the idea was not the result of just letting the rocks and fossils “speak for themselves” but rather came from anti-Biblical worldviews (or philosophical assumptions) being imposed on the geological evidence.
The talk explains the key men who helped develop the idea of millions of years, the various ways that Christians responded, and the subsequent catastrophic spiritual and moral consequences in the culture and in the church as a result of the church’s (especially among her Bible scholars and Christian leaders) continuing compromise with millions of years.
