“The Big Bang is presumedto have produced justhydrogen and helium, only 2of the 92 elements of theearth’s crust.”—Dr.Robert V.Gentry,Research Physicist“Asamatter of fact,however,it may be statedcategorically that noarcheological discovery hasever controverted aBiblicalreference.”—Nelson Glueck,Rivers inthe Desert, 1959, p. 31Palestinian archeologist“I myself am convincedthat the theory of evolution,especially the extent to whichit’s been applied, will be oneof the great jokes in thehistory books of the future.Posterity will marvel that soflimsy and dubious anhypothesis could be acceptedwith the incredible credulitythat it has.”—Malcolm Muggeridge,journalist and philosopher,Pascal Lectures, University ofWaterloo, Ontario, CanadaAmong other factors to consider is that all the ancient astronomersfrom2000yearsagorecordedthatSiriuswasaredstar—todayitisawhitedwarfstar.Obviously,thisviewneedstoberestudied,sincetoday’s textbooks in astronomy state that billions of years arerequiredforastarto“evolve”fromaredgianttoawhitedwarf.(4,p.7)EvidencefromEarth1314151617181920212223The decaying magnetic field limits earth’s age to less thanbillions.( 1,p.157; 2,p.27; 3,p.20; 5,p.23; 6, p.42; 9,p.25;10, p.38; 11, p.32,80; 12,p.91)Thevolumeoflava onearth dividedbyitsrateofeffluxgivesanumber of only afew million years, not billions.
