The scientific evidence, we are told, has conclusively shown that it is 4.543 billion years old (give or take a smidgeon). Case closed. Hold on—not so fast! Is this really ‘case closed’? What most people have NOT heard is that there are many scientists around the world who vigorously disagree with this conclusion. On what evidence? Well, they, too, say “Science!” Join one such scientist—biologist and science communicator, Dr Don Batten—for a discussion of just five (of the many) scientific evidences that point to a young earth.
