Summary of Creation arguments

I recently drafted an outline of evidences which argue for divine creation of the universe and the Earth.  The first part of the outline lists some features of the Earth which indicate that the Earth is young, arguing against evolution.  The second part of the outline lists some direct indications of divine creation.

Please feel free to comment.


Creation Evidence and Arguments


1.  The Earth appears to be young.

    a.  The magnetic field is strong.  https://www.icr.org/article/earths-magnetic-field-young

    b.  Ocean salinity is low.  https://www.icr.org/article/oceans-salt-clock-shows-young-world

    c.  Earth and Moon are close.  https://www.icr.org/article/young-age-for-moon-earth

    d.  Argon and Helium diffusion rates are high.  https://www.icr.org/article/both-argon-helium-diffusion-rates-indicate

    e.  There is too much Argon.  https://www.icr.org/article/excess-argon-archilles-heel-potassium-argon-dating/

    f.  There is too little atmospheric Helium.  https://www.icr.org/article/age-earth-atmosphere-helium

    g.  Grand Canyon cliffs were formed from packed, unlithified sediments.  https://www.icr.org/article/observations-support-grand-canyon-flood-origin

    h.  Sea-floor sediments are accumulating slowly.  https://www.icr.org/article/deep-sea-floor-sedimentation


2.  Appearance of design requires a designer.  https://www.icr.org/article/evaluating-real-vs-apparent-design


    The heavens declare the glory of God.  Psa. 19:1  

    

    Rom. 1:20 -- For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
