The Age of the Earth Debate

This chapter explores the conflicting perspectives on the age of the earth, with one side advocating for a young earth creationist view and the other side supporting a billions-of-years-old earth. It discusses the importance of distinguishing between science and theology in discussions about origins and the role of theory in scientific understanding. The chapter also emphasizes the significance of good experimental design, peer review process, and the certainty associated with scientific theories.
