As my followers know, I am a huge fan of Dr John Lennox but I need to make it clear that I do not agree with him on the age of the Earth.
Dr John Lennox and Dr Jack Collins, two brilliant Christian thinkers have made a HUGE mistake in trying to fit billions of years into Biblical history to make it agree with the age of the earth necessary for the theory of evolution. In this video, Dr. Terry Mortenson raises eight important objections to Dr. John Lennox’s and Dr. Jack Collins’ claims about the age of the universe and the Genesis account of creation.
Most Christians (whether students, lay people, scientists, or Bible scholars) who have accepted the idea of millions of years have ignored Exodus 20:11.
“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.” Exodus 20:11
But this verse is critical to the question of the age of the creation. It stands as an insurmountable stone wall to block every attempt to add millions of years anywhere into the Bible. Therefore, to be faithful to Scripture, Christians must reject the “big bang” theory and the billions of years of cosmological and geological history as myths.
