Review: The Bible, Rocks and Time, by Davis A. Young and Ralph F. Stearley

Posted by Peter Enns, author of the controversial Inspiration and Incarnation: Evangelicals and the Old Testament. Enns writes:

“An issue that is very important to me, both apologetically and spiritually, is for Christian theology to be in honest conversation with scientific research, particularly as it affects our understanding of Genesis and origins. Young and Stearley have produced a hefty volume aimed at demonstrating that ’several purported scientific claims advanced by young-Earth creationists do not stand up to scrutiny and fail to establish a young age for the Earth.’”
