The Young Earth: The Real History of the Earth, Past, Present, Future
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Perhaps the premier question in the creation/evolution debate centers around the age of the earth. The two competing points of view are not close: a world as old as Scripture presents it, or one nearer the intimidating 4.5 Billion years assigned by modern theorists? In this first-class highly readable book, geologist John D. Morris explores not only the rocks themselves, but also the layers of philosophical thought that today tend to obscure observable facts in nature. Complete with pages suitable for making transparencies, The Young Earth serves as a handbook for those interested in studying the real history of the earth: past, present and future. About the Author John D. Morris is the son of creation scientist Dr. Henry M. Morris. John has a B.S. in Civil Engineering and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Geological Engineering. He is the president of the Institute for Creation Research in Santee, California and speaks at a variety of churches.

I purchased this as a print edition over a decade ago. It should be a must for every Christians Library, especially every Christian parent's library. A well concealed fact by the education industry is that over 90% of the possible methods for dating the earth yield a result much much shorter than the accepted age of the earth. One of the indicators of the earth's age, the decay of the magnetic field, indicate that it is impossible for the earth to be older than 30K years. Older than that the magnetic field would be so strong the earth would be molten. The author also reveals the tricks the geologists use to ensure they get the 'right' date from their samples.
