Another Inconvenient Truth 2: Defending Young Earth Creationism by Justin Derby (Review)

Former old-earther Justin Derby has forcefully argued for the traditional interpretation of Genesis in his latest tome Another Inconvenient Truth 2: Defending Young Earth Creationism.  He unabashedly confronts the compromising teachings from the likes of William Lane Craig, Frank Turek, John Lennox and Mike Licona.  Derby is the creator of Creation.Social - a pro free speech platform.

 

Derby takes the chronologies from Genesis chapters five and eleven to lay out the timeline from Adam to Abraham.  He also takes 1 Kings 6:1 which tells us that the interval from the Exodus to the fourth year of Solomon's reign encompasses 480 years.  These facts imply that our wonderful planet is 6133 years old in 2022.

 

The young earth position is evidenced by Scripture and science.  One easy to understand example in the book is the discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur remains discovered by Mary Schweitzer (pp. 45-49).  Soft tissue should not be present after 65 million years.

 

Derby has a helpful discussion of debate strategies regarding origins.  He details the advice and methods of Eugenie Scott, Bill Nye and Duane Gish.  I sat next to Gish at a Creation meeting as a teen.

 

Frank Turek seems to think that the rotation of the earth poses a problem for how the Bible relates to science (p. 137).  Consider this: "You have  commanded the morning ... That it might take hold of the ends of the earth ... It is turned as clay to the seal ..." (Job 38:12-14).  Henry Morris (d. 2006), the founder of modern creationism, comments: "This figurative expression refers to God’s initiation of the earth’s rotation ... like a rotating clay cylinder exposing the impressions of the seal, the earth turns to the sun ... exposing the wicked and their works of the night."  Turek should read more books from the young earth aisle.   

If the earth is relatively young, then evolution must go.  Derby quotes a lesser known section of Darwin's Origin of Species (pp. 76,77).  At first,  Darwin says that we may have started with five basic kinds of animals in the beginning.  Would that mean five essential types of plants too?  Later, Darwin posits that all life came from one primordial form.

 

If you read Genesis in a forthright manner, it is very clear that Creation took place over six normal days, Noah's Flood was global and our world is only thousands of years old (not billions).  Derby brings out a key verse to prove this point (p. 143): "When there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions, I speak to them in dreams.  But this is not true of my servant Moses; he is faithful in all my house.  With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles ..." (Num. 12:6-8).

 

Derby shares his take on the "slippery slope" (doctrine downgrade), alternative media platforms, net censorship, inerrancy, James Hutton - who "discovered" deep time, Erwin Lutzer, why folks reject evolution and tons of other engaging issues.

Derby holds that denying the young earth position is heretical (pp. 57-64).  Some of the historic creeds and confessions define creation in six real days, but none make a six thousand year old earth a salvation issue.  John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion is a systematic survey of essential doctrine.  Regarding "profane men," Calvin stated (Inst., Ch. 21, Sec. 4): "Nor will they abstain from their jeers when told that little more than five thousand years have elapsed since the creation of the world.  For they will ask, Why did the power of God slumber so long in idleness?"

 

Derby provides a list of helpful young earth resources at the end of his book such as the Northwest Creation Network and Adam's Lost Dream.  If you want to learn more about the young earth stance, get this book.

JD Greear, Christianity Today & the Six Day Apocalypse

J.D. Greear is the pastor of The Summit Church in North Carolina and the President of the SBC.  He was recently on an Ask Me Anything (AMA) podcast hosted by Matt Love.  Unfortunately, Greear waffles on the First Six Days:

I know godly, biblically faithful theologians who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible and who think that the timetable of Genesis 1 was not a literal week (which, by the way, isn’t a new interpretation, but is a position that has been around since the first few centuries of Christianity).

He mentions Augustine in the podcast.  Augustine actually held to a young earth.  In general, the Early Church Fathers held to creation in six days and a young earth. [1]

Thankfully, Greear opposes theistic evolution (Theo-Evo).  One wonders if he has read Theistic Evolution: A Scientific, Philosophical, and Theological Critique by Moreland and Meyer et al.  One chapter by Christopher Shaw is on "Pressure to Conform Leads to Bias in Science."  I think many preachers are influenced by the culture more that Scripture.

The Summit Church has this on their "Beliefs" page:

We believe the Bible to be God’s Word, a true and fully accurate account of God’s love for us. Its purpose is to teach us how to have a relationship with him, worship him, and bring him glory.Psalm 19:7-10; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21

Is it not loving that the Lord gives us a day of rest?

For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy (Ex. 20:11, cf. Ex. 31:16,17).

Both Muslims and Jews agree that the earth is younger than mainstream science claims.  The traditional Jewish calendar states that Creation Week was 5780 years ago. [2]  Maybe Greear should read Is a Young Earth Possible? to get the deep info that favors a youthful planet.  

Where does the apocalypse come in?  That's the slippery slope - once church leaders compromise on Genesis, this often leads to other errors.  Harold Lindsell was at one time the editor of Christianity Today and died in Laguna Hills in 1998 (I've been there).  His book The Battle for The Bible exposed the trend towards theological liberalism.  Lindsell took a very strong stand for the Historical Adam.   

Who's the editor of Christianity Today now?  Daniel Harrell is, former senior minister at Colonial Church (MN) and before that the pastor of the famous Park Street Church in Boston.  Here's Harrell's conclusion on the creation/evolution controversy:

The Bible says six days, but there's no way that's right unless astrophysics and geology are patently false.  ...The scientific evidence is too strong in evolution's favor to reasonably deny its occurrence.  You can refuse to believe it, but that still won't make it untrue any more than denying God exists proves that he does not exist.

Harrell even wrote a book supporting Darwin - Nature's Witness: How Evolution Can Inspire Faith (2008).  Yet, in a talk in 1992 at Park Street Church, he admitted that evolution can't be proven and went further to say that Darwinism is not strictly science since it can't be disproven either.  Did Harrell's position on origins evolve?  He even mentioned Phillip Johnson, the father of the Intelligent Design (ID) movement in a positive light.  Johnson seems to lean towards the young earth view and has visited the Creation Museum in Kentucky.  Has Harrell done the same?

Now let's look at the theological connection.  Park Street Church has a very streamlined "Statement of Faith" including points on the Father, the Son and the Spirit, the authority of the Scriptures, salvation by grace through faith etc.  In contrast, Colonial Church has "Five Core Values" where we find this ...          

Immerse in Sacred Spaces & Rhythms: There are places, traditions and particular practices of faith and worship wherein we tangibly encounter the holy and living God.  Regular immersion in such places and practices forms and reforms us in line with the good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:1-2).  In these transcendent places and moments, we experience realties larger than ourselves and realize the fullness faith in Christ makes possible.

Jesus surely favored a youthful world ... shouldn't that end the argument (Mk. 10:6, Mk. 13:19, Lk. 11:50,51)?  Please check out TotalYouth.us for more powerful young earth evidence.
