Dating (4)
There are many other flavors of radiometric dating, but we need not go into all of them to grasp the take-home message. When geochronologists are attempting to discover the age of a particular rock, they must make three tenuous assumptions about the unobserved past. This puts the whole enterprise in the realm of forensic (historical) science—a type of science that, for obvious reasons, has a level of certainty much, much lower than can be obtained through empirical science. When we cross-check radiometric dates with rocks of known historical age and find that the radiometric date is ridiculously off the mark, that should give us pause about the reliability of geochronological results.

Darwin\'s Sandcastle: Evolution\'s Failure in the Light of Scripture and the Scientific Evidence (p. 40). Roman Roads Press I believe that marriage is far more important than college. Moreover, I think we lead our children to compromise when we ask them to endure two-year engagements while remaining true to their Christian convictions. If they weren't ready to be married, we shouldn't have allowed the relationship to blossom.Family Driven Faith
I am amazed at the number of intelligent, Jesus-loving, Bible-toting, ministry-minded young men who absolutely refuse to grow up and take a wife! It is as though there was a new book of the Bible discovered (I call it 2 Hesitations) that reads, "Thou shalt not marry prior to graduate school, or at least until you have a middle-class income and a 401(k)." The only thing worse is looking into the eyes of the scores of young women who ask me what they have to do to get these guys to man up and marry them.Family Driven Faith
Modern American dating is no more than glorified divorce practice. Young people are learning how to give themselves away in exclusive, romantic, highly committed (at times sexual) relationships, only to break up and do it all over again. God never intended for His kids to live like this. And instead of stepping in and doing something, many Christian parents simply view these types of relationships as a normal and necessary part of growing up. Unless your child is wiser than Solomon, stronger than Samson, and more godly than David (all of whom sinned sexually), they are susceptible to sexual sin, and these premature relationships serve as open invitations.Family Driven Faith
