Neomorphs require genetic information, and information requires intelligence. Genetic information coding for exceedingly complex biological structures and systems requires intelligence of the highest order. If it is intelligence far beyond the capacity of the greatest human engineer, how can the scientific community say with impunity that it wasn't designed? If the creative Intelligence is beyond the physical realm, and if they can't see it, then it must not be. That kind of hubris takes the breath away.

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.

Some might ask what the consensus of the church fathers was regarding the age of the earth. Overwhelmingly the church fathers believed in a young Earth. Thankfully, they didn't have the modern scientific community breathing down their necks. Some, ironically, use St. Augustine's view as precedent for not taking the creation week literally so that they can feel justified in taking an old-Earth view. Yes, St. Augustine wasn't literal but he actually believed that God created instantly and revealed it over the space of a week for our understanding, not over vast geological ages.2 So, to use St. Augustine to promote an old-Earth view is disingenuous because he actually believed in a slightly younger-Earth than typical young-Earth creationists.Darwin\'s Sandcastle: Evolution\'s Failure in the Light of Scripture and the Scientific Evidence (p. 30).

Some may object, saying that Genesis is not a science textbook. Young-Earth creationists don't claim it is! History books can communicate the idea of deep time. I don't know Hebrew, but I do know that King Asa went against an Ethiopian army of a million in 2 Chronicles 14:9, so apparently big numbers can be communicated in the Hebrew language.Darwin\'s Sandcastle: Evolution\'s Failure in the Light of Scripture and the Scientific Evidence (p. 27).
