The Age of the
Earth
This page is devoted to interpreting Genesis 1 through 5 as historical narrative.
Do we have a young earth, or an old earth, and is our conclusion a
necessary part of our orthodoxy? In answering that for yourself, I recommend Gavin Ortlund's book, Finding the Right
Hills to Die On (2020).
Personally, I'm not opposed to a young earth view, and I have no convictions about an old earth.
However, I confess that I oppose "creationism" as dogma - as a litmus test of someone's orthodoxy.
