Cracks in the Layers: Lake Suigetsu and the Old Earth Illusion | The Creation Podcast: Episode 95
Welcome to the third episode in a series called “The Failures of Old Earth Creationism.” Many Christians attempt to fit old earth ideology into their beliefs, adopting uniformitarian or evolutionary pieces into their worldview. While this is often done in an effort to appeal to science, it can cause major logical, scientific, and theological issues.
 
Lake Suigetsu is a large lake located near the coast of the Sea of Japan with a depth of about 34 meters at its center. Old Earth Creationists claim that the sediments from this lakebed absolutely show that the Earth is at least 50 thousand years old. What evidence are these scientists looking at that supposedly provide ironclad proof that the Young Earth Creationist model is wrong?
 
In today’s episode we’ll explore the evidence in an effort to uncover “The Truth About Lake Suigetsu,” dismantling the poor science that causes many well-meaning individuals down a path that only leads to error.
 
Join host Trey Bowling and Dr. Jake Hebert as they discuss this topic on episode 95 of The Creation Podcast.
