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.
