• Is the age of the earth just an interpretation issue or is it a presupposition issue?
• Can we trust the Bible literally or do we have to look to modern science to help us figure out what the Bible says?
• Do we have to accept atheistic scientific interpretations as truth and judge the Bible accordingly?

We at Reasons for Hope* start out with the belief that there should be no other authority outside of scripture that determines what the Bible means. All truth claims must be measured by what the Bible actually says. This is not just a blind faith position that goes against all the “facts” of science; there are good scientific evidences that confirm a young earth just as the Bible says.
