What if the "millions of years" argument against the Bible is built on a foundation of unproven assumptions? In this episode of Faith and Science, we dig into radiometric dating — the go-to argument for an old Earth — and uncover surprising creation science evidence that challenges the standard timeline. From conflicting isotope results to a rapidly decaying magnetic field, this conversation offers compelling evidence for God and a fresh look at how science can align with a biblical worldview.

Joining host Kaysie Vokurka is Dr. John Ashton, co-author of The Big Argument: Does God Exist?, drawing on insights from chapter 9 by geologist Andrew Snelling. For decades, radiometric dating has been presented as airtight proof that the Earth is billions of years old, discrediting the biblical timeline. Dr. Ashton walks through the hidden assumptions behind these methods — unknown starting concentrations, contaminated samples, and evidence of accelerated decay — and contrasts them with carbon-14 findings in coal and diamonds that shouldn't exist if long ages were true. The result is a compelling case that the data doesn't point to deep time at all, but to a young Earth and a global flood consistent with the biblical record.

In this episode, you will hear:

Why different radiometric dating methods often give conflicting ages for the very same rock
How carbon-14 found in "million-year-old" coal seams defies conventional dating assumptions
The startling evidence for accelerated radioactive decay during Earth's catastrophic past
How the decline of Earth's magnetic field points to an Earth no older than about 10,000 years
