Great post, Clyde. It’s also important to note that people interpret evidence according to their worldview. Everyone has access to the same evidence, but they will interpret this evidence based on their presuppositions.

Atheists will interpret evidence of rock layers based on their presupposition that there is no God and everything today has been formed by the same processes in effect today. They will discount the revelation of God’s Word as historical (and therefore they do not recognize the effects of the worldwide flood.) Many Christians who believe in long ages also marginalize the teachings of Genesis in order to placate the disciples of scientism.

But as Christians, if we interpret evidence through the view that God revealed history through his Word, then we can see how all evidence truly points to the Creator and his glory. All throughout scripture (Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, Isaiah, Matthew, Mark, Acts, Romans, I Cor, 1 & 2 Peter) we see the confirmation of creation in 6 literal days about six thousand years ago, and there was a worldwide flood that created most of the fossils and rock layers. All of these examples are available at ApoloJedi.com.

This is why it is so important to know how to recognize contradictions in people’s worldview. Since people will come up with rescuing devices to protect their worldview from contrary evidence or interpretation of evidence. Jason Lisle has a tremendous book and video teaching called: The Ultimate Proof of Creation. I highly recommend that anyone interested in this subject look at his free online videos and purchase his book. It is a fantastic tool for God’s glory!
