The 'Disease' of Millions of Years - Ken Ham, Answers Update, volume 19, issue 4...

"Many Christian leaders think that as long as they reject biological evolution, then it doesn't really matter about the age of the earth...The reality, however, is that by allowing for millions of years, these Christian leaders have kept a 'compromise door' open...This compromise has led to a catastrophic loss of biblical authority in the church (and culture as a whole) - which includes the devastating consequence of moral relativism permeating the church...Why is the issue of time so important in the secular world? Well, without supposed millions/billions of years, secularists cannot even propose biological evolution.  An old age is absolutely crucial for the secularists in their attempt to explain life without God...When Christian leaders try to add millions of years into God's Word, then they are making God responsible for death, disease, thorns, carnivory, and suffering millions of years before sin.  The Bible makes it clear such things are the result of man's sin!"
