Genius Scientists Rejected an Old Earth! Here’s Why

Is Young Earth Creationism Credible? Can science and religion coexist? In this video, I walk through a list of genius scientists—past and present—who rejected an old Earth and explain why they did so. From founders of modern science like Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, and Robert Boyle, to modern, credentialed scientists like Kurt Wise, Jason Lisle, and Andrew Snelling, this video challenges the assumption that belief in a young Earth is the result of ignorance or lack of education. For early scientists, the reason is simple: they took Scripture as their starting point at a time before modern old-earth theories even existed. For modern scientists, the reason is more striking: they are fully aware of the strongest arguments for an old Earth, trained at elite institutions, and yet still reject those conclusions—often at real professional cost—because they believe Scripture is authoritative and because they distinguish between observational science and historical interpretation. This video is not about running new experiments or claiming science has been “disproved.” It’s about removing a false barrier—the idea that faithfulness to Scripture requires intellectual compromise.
