Summary

Can you believe in biblical inerrancy AND hold to the old earth creation model? There's been an intramural debate brewing between old earth and young creationists, and some evangelical scholars say it's time to rethink the bedrock doctrine of biblical inerrancy for Christianity to remain viable in the intellectual sphere. But what do the Scriptures, along with what we can observe scientifically, reveal about creation and the age of the earth?Astrophysicist and Christian apologist, Dr. Hugh Ross, joins Frank from the SES 2024 Steadfast conference to discuss questions like:* How does science demonstrate that there was a creation event?* Is Genesis 1 a polemic against the Egyptian creation story?* Does the Bible leave the age of the earth as indeterminate?* When was Adam created and what does Dr. Ross think of William Lane Craig's view of the historical Adam?* Does a person's belief about the age of the earth affect their salvation?* How do young earth creations address the scientific evidence for an old earth?* Did God artificially age the universe?* What about neanderthals?* Should Genesis 1-11 be interpreted differently than the rest of the book?Whether you're a young or old earth creationist, this podcast episode will be packed with plenty of information that could challenge or bring clarity to your perspective on when and how God created the universe.Resources mentioned during the episode:RESCUING INERRANCY (BOOK): https://a.co/d/7p9qKeX (https://a.co/d/7p9qKeX)HUGH ROSS' MINISTRY: https://reasons.org/ (https://reasons.org/)

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen the first book I ever read on astronomy and the fine tuning of the
0:08.6	universe was a book called The Fingerprint of God by Dr. He Ross. This is back in the early 90s when I first came to
0:14.8	Southern Evangelical Seminary to get a degree and I was fascinated by the book and that many of the arguments in that book made their way into I don't have enough faith to be an atheist.
0:28.0	It's a great privilege to have Dr. U. Ross on the program with me today.

0:48.9	inerrancy require a young earth view or do you have to you have to come to a young earth view if you believe in inerrancy?
0:56.5	Of course Dr Ross is going to say no and Dr Mortenson is going to say yes, we'll report on that after it happens. I'm actually the moderator, the

1:27.0	observe how do we know Dr Ross there was a creation event from science. How do we know that?
1:33.2	Well, we know that first from the space-time theorems.
1:36.5	Those theorems basically have just two assumptions. The universe contains mass,
1:41.8	or both living evidence that the universe contains mass. We're both living evidence that the universe contains mass.
1:45.1	Number two, equations of general relativity
1:48.2	reliably describe the movements of stars and galaxies and universe,
1:52.4	which we can now prove to 17 places at the decimal.
