Five Natural Phenomena that Speak to a Young Earth
Five Natural Phenomena that speak to a Young Earth
The Bible clearly speaks of a Young Earth.
Bishop Ussher calculated the creation date at 4004 BC; so now, in 2024, he would date the earth/universe at 6028 years old.

The Jewish calendar has 2024 AD as the year 5784.
The fact that these 2 calculations are off by 244 years is meaningless; the question is:
Is the earth/universe 4.5 BILLION years old, like most evolutionists think?
Here are five (5) natural phenomena that speak to a Young Earth/Universe:
Firstly, Himalayan Pink Salt.
It used to be called Pink SEA Salt, but now it is almost impossible to find a posting or label with the word SEA still in the name, but I did find one:
Why is that?
Why is that so important?
Where does salt come from?
Here is a posting that explains where salt comes from:
Salt is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl). It can be found in two main sources: sea water and the sodium chloride mineral halite, also known as rock salt.
Sea Water: Salt is extracted from sea water through a process of evaporation, where seawater is heated and the water content is reduced, leaving behind a concentrated solution of salt and other minerals. This process can occur naturally through the action of wind, sun, and heat, or it can be done artificially through industrial processes.
Rock Salt: Rock salt, also known as halite, is a type of mineral that forms when ancient seas and lakes have dried up, leaving behind a layer of salt deposits. These deposits can be found in sedimentary rocks and can be extracted through mining.
Additionally, salt can also be produced through the weathering of rocks and the transport of water by rivers into the ocean. This process, known as chemical weathering, involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller particles, which can then be carried away by water and deposited in the ocean, contributing to the salt content of the sea.
Overall, salt is a naturally occurring mineral that can be found in both sea water and rock deposits, and its extraction and processing have played a significant role in human history and culture.
Himalayan Pink Salt, is SEA Salt, from “ancient sea(s) the have dried up!”
But how do you have a sea in the Himalayan Mountains? Himalayan Pink Sea Salt comes from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, which is 945 ft ABOVE sea level.
Only The Universal Flood, with the upheaval of the earth, and the subsequent formation of mountains, as recorded in the Bible, can explain this!
I believe the word “sea” has been dropped because it brought the above to the fore front, and a godless world does not want to acknowledge The Flood.
Salt in the Himalayan Mountains, above sea level, speaks to a Universal Flood, as recorded in the Bible, and in evidence of a Young Earth.
Secondly, Ocean Salinity.
The rate at which the oceans salinity is increasing is known. Remember, salts/minerals are leached out of the ground by rain, and are carried by rivers to the ocean; “chemical weathering”. If you take the concentration of the ocean’s salinity today, and calculate going back, using the known rate of salinity increase, you find that the ocean was perfectly pure water less than 10,000 years ago. And yes, the rate is not a constant rate, because as the amount of salts/minerals in the ground gets less, the rate of increase decreases, but that would actually shorten the time frame! But putting that aside, the point is, less than 10,000 years ago, the oceans were totally pure water, salt free!
Certainly, this speaks to a Young Earth.
Thirdly, Cosmic Dust.
The rate of cosmic dust falling to the earth is known; it is measurable. Since the Nasa Scientists believe the earth/universe is billions of years old, back in the time of the First Lunar Landing, they assumed the dust on the moon would be very deep, so deep that the lunar module would sink out of sight! That is why they had big circular pads on the ends of the lunar module legs; the pads would prevent it from sinking into the dust and disappearing. But how much dust is actually on the moon?; only about 1/8th of an inch. If you do the math, using the know rate of cosmic dust falling to the earth, the age of the moon, and therefore the earth/universe, is less than 10,000 years! Even though the below article concludes by saying Creationists should not use the cosmic dust argument, yet the article is extremely interesting, because it shows some people realize this speaks to a Young Earth.

Fourthly, World Population.
The population of the world today is near 9,000,000,000. The rate of population growth is known. Using whatever rate you want, and calculating back, you come to the first 2 people arriving on the scene less than 10,000 years ago.
It is stated in most Internet articles that the first people “emerged on earth” around 300,000 years ago; but the math does not support that!
The math says less than 10,000 years ago! That actually only gets us back to The Flood, because there was a “re-set” at that point, but again, this clearly refutes the 300,000 years evolutionist tout, and I think this gives evolutionists a bit of a problem.
Again, the point is that however you play with the numbers, world population and population growth rates speak to a Young Earth.
Fifthly, Trees.
If you Google “Oldest Tree” you will find it is a Great Basin bristle cone pine, named Promethean.
It is 5000 years old.
Why are there no trees older than 5000 years of age?
We live in the Country of Papua New Guinea, one big virgin rain forest, with a 365 day growing season, it is a green house; but there are no trees larger than 6-7 foot diameter, why is that?
Tree growth rings are about 1/8” per year.
But look at this: assume 1/64” (8 times more compact !); and use a 10ft diameter;
10ft / 2 = radius of 5 ft or 60 inches.
60 inches / .015 (1/64) = 4000 years.
Across the vast tundra of Siberia (and the Atheistic Russian scientists would certainly have told us of one), the Great Eastern Forest on America, the Redwoods, Africa, Papua New Guinea, not one tree older than 5000 years!
Double, triple, quadrupale the rates, nothing gets you near the time of which evolutionists speak.
This again speaks to a Young Earth.
Interesting, and certainly something to think about, especially in light of the below Bible verses:
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,” Rom 1:18-22
“And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;” 2Pe 2:5
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2Pe 3:3-7
