This section describes many dozens of proofs which have been put forth by
young-earth creation scientists to prove that the earth and the rest of the
universe are less than 10,000 years old. Each proof is accompanied by a rebuttal
which describes why scientists believe that the proofs are without validity.
We have a corresponding essay which gives dozens
of proofs by scientists to prove that the earth is extremely old -- that the
earth's crust coalesced in excess of four billion years ago. These arguments
also contain rebuttals from religious sources.
All of the "proofs" listed in this section are paraphrased from the original Emails
that we received.
