Young Earth verses Old Earth. The debate has gone on for centuries, with most modern Christians disputing the scientific claim of an ancient earth. But is an old earth truly inconsistent with Scripture? Dr. Mark Whorton seeks to give biblically based answers and challenge the modern thinking that to be an evangelical Christian is to believe in a young earth.Using evidence as diverse as the bombardier beetle and St. Augustine, Dr. Whorton, a Christian apologist and genuine rocket scientist, provides a compelling answer to one of the most difficult and heated issues for modern Christians.

The theology is pretty interesting, with its focal point being on God's utterance of "very good" after the end of his creation. He indeed backs up his OE claims with scientific evidence(which really doesn't need to be proven since science has done so adequately) and with careful exegesis and hermeneutics.
The best part of his writing style is his attitude. He holds firmly to 1 Peter 3:15 as a way to conduct himself. He relegates everything to the reader in love, while keeping an up-most reverence for Scripture and God's sovereignty, which is often thrown out the window when discussing science and the age of the earth.
A highly recommended read. Very easy read--non-technical geared specifically to the church going laymen and seeker alike. About fourty minutes in and I'm on page 60. (
