The heart of the matter is this: If the changing opinions of science are allowed to dictate how the Bible is interpreted it will lead to a lack of confidence in biblical truth. I would describe this as bad science and bad theology. Unfortunately, this scenario is exactly what we can see happening today—specifically with regard to the question of whether the age of the earth is billions of years old or just thousands of years old.
If it were true that the earth and the presence of humans on the earth relate to long ages before the approximate 6,000 years allowed for by straightforward understanding of the biblical text, then we have a situation that contradicts the Bible, and as expressed above, undermines the sacrificial work of Christ and the Gospel itself. Christians who find themselves in this position, whether they realize it or not, are usually referred to as theistic evolutionists or progressive creationists. I see both of these positions as compromised ones that undermine the authority of the Word of God.
If we allow for millions of years (true science has no verifiable empirical evidence—all dating methods used are based on assumptions that are beyond the ability of science to prove) we are admitting that God used such vast ages to bring all the living creatures on the face of the earth to their present state of being. This means there were vast ages of violence, death, disease, and suffering of both animals and the supposed fictional ape-like ancestors of humans long before Adam and Eve’s time.

We love helping people put the truths of the authority and reliability of God‘s Word into their hearts. We also enjoy getting resources for these truths into their hands. And with the holiday season coming up, the bookstore can be a blessing both to the ministry and to your family and friends!
Everyone has a worldview, and every worldview has questions that it must answer. The truth will naturally produce the best and most sensible answers, and the Bible does just that.
