7 Reasons Why We Should Not Accept Millions of Years by Dr. Terry Mortenson
There is an intensifying controversy in the church all over the world regarding the age of the earth. For the first 18 centuries of church history, the almost universal belief of Christians was that God created the world in six literal days roughly 6,000 years ago and destroyed the world with a global Flood at the time of Noah.
But about 200 years ago, some scientists developed new theories of earth history, which proposed that the earth and universe are millions of years old. Over the past 200 years Christian leaders have made various attempts to fit millions of years into the Bible.
In this short booklet, we want to introduce you to some of the reasons Christians cannot accept millions of years, without doing great damage to the church and her witness in the world. We hope that it will help you think more carefully about this subject and will motivate you to dig deeper.
