Can Christians reconcile millions of years with the Bible? While some argue God could have used such vast periods to create, this idea raises theological challenges. Death and suffering in the fossil record contradict the Bible’s teaching of a perfect creation before the Fall. The question becomes one of authority: do we trust Scripture’s clear account, or reinterpret it to fit modern scientific claims?


The origins of the millions-of-years concept trace back to early geology, but Scott Gillis highlights how this view undermines foundational doctrines like the Gospel and the justice of God. By standing on the authority of Scripture, he shows how the evidence—biological complexity and the global flood—supports the Bible’s account of creation, affirming a miraculous and trustworthy Creator.
