When most people hear the word 'explosion', they often think of destroyed buildings and injured people. But geologists have long recognized a different type of 'explosion' in earth's sedimentary rocks, known as the Cambrian explosion.

Is radiometric dating really proof that the earth is billions of years old as evolutionists claim? What about the evidence from radioactive decay that the earth is actually only about 6,000 years old—just as the chronologies in the Bible indicate?

All dating methods involve making assumptions. But many scientific dating methods, with reasonable assumptions, do not support deep time and an old universe. Hundreds of dating methods support a young earth and recent creation of the universe.

The Creation Answers Book is CMI's most popular book because it covers 60 of the most asked questions about Genesis and the creation evolution issue.

Let’s have a look together at some geological features used to ‘read time’ and hear how they whisper “The earth is young!”—just as the Bible would indicate.

Environmental change affects tree growth and the changes are captured partly in tree rings. Tree-ring studies are used to support the cause of climate change and many thousands of years of Earth history. But are wide rings caused by warmer temperatures? Is it this simple? Geoff Downes looks at the underpinning science in linking changes in wood structure to changing climate.
