Young Earth Creationists have challenged conventional wisdom the Earth is 4.53 billion years old, instead arguing our home planet is only 6,000-years-old. A Bible expert who has memorised 20 books of scripture has explained why he thinks scientists got it wrong.

The scientific model of the cosmos states the Big Bang gave birth to the universe some 13.8 billion years ago. Within this incredible period, stars appeared, galaxies developed and planets took shape, with our solar system forming in the last five billion years or so. The US space agency NASA, for instance, states: "When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun."

How do scientists come to these conclusions? They look at the geological record, sediment deposits, and even by dating rocks that have come to our planet from our cosmic neighbours.

But there is a body of so-called Young Earth Creationists who reject attempts to date the planet, through what they believe are flawed methods.

Young Earth Creationists, instead, believe the planet's history can be traced from the moment of creation to Jesus Christ's death by closely studying the pages of the Bible.

Although the estimates vary, Young Earth Creationists typically claim the Earth is only 6,000 to 10,000-years-old - and they believe they can back these astonishing figures.

Professor Meyer is sometimes known as the Bible Memory Man thanks to him memorising more than 20 books from the Holy Bible.

He said: "The eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington over 40 years ago has shed light on the tremendous problems in the conventional dating methods used to date the age of dinosaurs, geological formations, the age of the Earth, etc.

"The energy output from the eruption of Mount St. Helens was titanic, equivalent to 400,000,000 tons of TNT or 20,000 Hiroshima-sized atomic bombs.

"Between 400 to 600 feet thickness of strata made up of various materials was quickly formed; ash was rapidly laid down between one millimetre thickness to greater than one meter thick.

"This event can be chronicled by video and eye witness accounts."

Mount St Helens entered a period of intense activity in 1980 that killed more than 50 people.

Although tragic, Young Earth Creationists believe the eruption has highlighted a flaw in attempts to date the planet's age.

According to Professor Meyer, attempts to age the newly formed cap on the volcano using Potassium-argon dating (K-Ar) have proven "far from accurate".

The method and its supposed shortcomings were famously highlighted by Young Earth Creationist Dr Steve Austin and the Institute for Creation Research (ICR), when they analysed samples collected from the volcano in 1986.

This has even led to the Mount St Helens Creation Information Center being established "for the purpose of witnessing to the truth of God's Word in Genesis".

Professor Meyer said: "The severe faultiness of the dating method should cause everyone who adheres to the belief that the earth is 4,600,000,000 years old to reconsider that belief.

"According to the Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal (Volume 10. No. 3, pp-335-343, 1996), using the conventional K-Ar dating methods, the porphyritic dacite which solidified on the surface of the lava dome six years after the eruption dates to 50,000 to 350,000 years old.

"Also, the mineral concentrates from the dacite which formed in 1986 gave K-Ar ages of 60,000 to 2,800,000 years old; this pyroxene concentrate was only six years old at the time they tested it.

"The same radiometric dating methods that date the extinction of dinosaurs to 65,000,000 years ago and the Big Bang to 4,600,000,000 years ago dated Mount St. Helen’s porphyritic dacite to 50,000 to 350,000 years ago when in reality it was six years old."

Professor Meyer believes these discrepancies cast a shadow of doubt on other methods used to date our planet.

He added: "Scientists admit that the K-Ar method isn’t reliable for dating samples less than 6,000 years old; if indeed the universe is 6,000 years old, then of what use is the K-Ar dating method?

"Natural catastrophes like Mount St. Helens continue to be fresh evidence that geological formations aren’t as old as everyone claims. The Earth is young."

Kilo kan iru awa yi

Wtf....just 6000 yrs

And some foolish scientists have been telling us that a dinosaur exist 59 billions years ago..


Snake of 200 millions years ago..



And some naira lander believes such crappy study...

If you believe that the earth is 6000 years old,then I have a plot of land at banana island for 50,000.

Ordinary Mayan civilization is how many years old. Benin civilization here in Nigeria is how many years old.


Go to your village, don't you have deities dating back to the time of Jesus


How about kings and queens of Egypt. The pyramids and stuff

6000 years? My friend delete this nonsense.

Funny enough not everyone believes in the Bible

Letters of Paul to Philemon,chroristhian,galatian,roman and so on that u added to Bible is not up to 2000 years.

Personally, I strongly believe that the Earth is just 300 years old.

So, that 'bible expert' is totally w.r.o.n.g.

That's right, we're all 'experts' after all.

Do not argue with rubbish experts.

It is a bloody waste of time.

How is 6000 years considered young?!!

According to the latest radiometronomic dating that was cross referenced with ancient Aztec incantations, the world was created on Tuesday, August 14, 444 B.C. at 4:24 p.m. So around 2500 years old give or take.

lalasticlala come and settle this argument

How is it even possible to know the exact time and date

The earth cannot even be 6,000years old because the earth existed long before the creation process began to take place concerning things on earth. Psalm 102:25
Bible chronology and reliable secular calendar reveal that it is mankind’s existence that has been for 6,000years+ and not the earth’s.
