Why doesn’t the Bible specify the age of the earth? As a creationist content creator since 2016, I’ve often encountered this question. In this episode, I address it comprehensively. We explore common objections, examine a well-articulated version of the question from a commenter, and break down the logical, cultural, and theological dimensions of the topic. Additionally, we delve into biblical interpretation and practical implications of discussing the Earth’s age, especially within a Christian worldview. I conclude that understanding the Earth’s age is vital, not for arguing but for appreciating the theological and biblical importance.
