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.
