We have had years of experience in answering apostate "concerns." Memorize these; THEY WORK! Remember: The sooner you make them feel like a loser, the quicker you are the winner.
The following are just some examples from Dr Hotie's Book Clever Come-backs to over 10,000 Old Earth Objections. You can find it in the BOOKS section. |

GODLESS EVOLUTIONIST: A belief in an old universe or Earth doesn't contradict the Bible.
YOUR ANSWER: The heck it doesn't! [good one!] |
| GE: There have to be more important spiritual issues than how old the earth is, right? YOU: I agree! GE: Great! YOU: Like how big the Flood was!!! |
| GE: You know, you refer to me as a godless evolutionist, but I believe in Jesus as my Lord and Savior. YOU: Uhhh, I don't think so. Do you believe in death before Adam? GE: Yes, but... YOU: Then you may have a head knowledge of Jesus, but not a heart knowledge. You need to repent, godless evolutionist! |
| GE: Do you know of all the reputable Christian Hebrew scholars and theologians and pastors and teachers who believe in an old universe? YOU: In the last days, even the elect will be deceived. |
| GE: If the light was "put" between us and the distant stars, then nearly all of the universe that we see is an illusion and the God of the Bible is rather deceiving, wouldn't you say? YOU: But He's the Perfect Deceiver! |
|
GE: The Hebrew word for "day" has several meanings, one of which is "a long period of time."
YOU: Are you a Hebrew scholar? GE: Uhhh... no. YOU: Then you should keep quiet. |
|
GE: I don't see how can you have "morning" and "evening" and "day" for the first few "days" when the sun isn't present until the fourth "day"?
YOU: God was their light and you must believe it or perish. |
|
GE: According to you the sun was created after the plants, on the fourth day. But plants need light to survive.
YOU: Hello!!! God was their light and plants can survive one day without the sun! Think C-L-O-U-D-Y DAY! Duh! |
|
GE: If the sun really were shrinking as you believe, why have there been perfect solar eclipses recorded for thousands of years of human history - eclipses in which the Moon perfectly fits in front of the Sun?
YOU: Do you have a degree in heliolunarfitology? GE: Huh? YOU: I didn't think so. [good one!] |
|
GE: Even if Adam and Eve were created as mature adults, don't you think that all their cells were brand new?
YOU: Your point? GE: Well, then some scientist could have tested them to see that they were really brand new beings, not old beings. YOU: Your point? GE: Well, if they could be tested to reveal their true age no matter how they "appeared," can't we scientifically test anything on Earth or in the heavens, and have them reveal their true age? YOU: Your point? GE: Are you even listening? YOU: Your point? GE: ! |
|
GE: There is no evidence of a global flood, just of huge local floods.
YOU: What do you think the Grand Canyon is?! [roll eyes to sky, muttering the word "moron"] |
|
GE: How could Adam have done all the things mentioned on the 6th "day" in Genesis if it was only 24 hours long?
YOU: God gave him superhuman pre-Fall strength and abilities! Duh squared! |
|
GE: Many galaxies are millions of light years away. That means the light took millions of years to get here. How do you explain that?
YOU: God made the light in between, just like He made the space in between your head! [then laugh] |
|
GE: Radioactive dating tells us...
YOU: [close your ears immediately and sing some hymn real loud] |
|
GE: The theory of plate tectonics explains nearly everything we see geologically and is an incredibly slow process lasting hundreds of millions of years.
YOU: You can explain nearly nothing and your thinking is an incredibly slow process! [smile smugly because of your cleverness] |
|
GE: Do you understand that one can accept an old universe, yet reject macroevolution?
YOU: It's both or nothing! [excuse yourself quickly to the restroom] |
|
GE: You say mountains erode, which is true, but do you know they also build up at the same rate?
YOU: You probably read that in some university textbook! |
|
GE: Your canopy hypothesis breaks many laws of physics.
YOU: We aren't subject to the laws of man, we're subject to God's Laws, heathen boy! |
|
GE: The speed of light can't change. If it did, we would see its many effects all over the cosmos...
YOU: Whoa! Excuse me, I may have been born at night, but I wasn't born last night! [try and keep from laughing too hard at your own cleverness; it takes away from the humiliation.] |
|
GE: A single family could not have taken care of millions of species of animals if the flood was global.
YOU: Could have! GE: Isn't it more reasonable to see the flood as local? Noah's family could have easily handled local species. YOU: Look, scholar boy, the Bible says "covered the whole Earth." GE: But the Hebrew for "earth" also means "the local area"... YOU: Are you a Hebrew scholar? GE: Uhh... no. YOU: Then you should keep quiet. [change the subject] |
|
GE: There is absolutely no evidence that dinosaurs inhabited the Earth simultaneously with man.
YOU: Using big words doesn't impress me! |
|
GE: Have you ever taken a logic class?
YOU: What's logic got to do with this? Logic is man-made! |
|
GE: You're annoying.
YOU: I know you are but what am I!? [repeat until they capitulate! They are almost yours!] |
|
GE: I give up.
YOU: I win! I win! I win! [you are victorious! as they walk away share the Good News by yelling "You'd better repent, heretic cult leader!"] |
