There are several reliable ways to accurately estimate the age of materials on Earth. Some methods measure radioactive atoms that decay at steady and predictable rates; others count layers that grow or are deposited in recognizable yearly patterns.
First, a bit of history: BioLogos was launched three years ago this past April under the leadership of Dr. Francis Collins, currently the head of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and one of the world’s best known and most admired medical scientists.
The BioLogos mission is to be a leading voice reconciling the realms of science and faith, so it’s essential that we provide resources that reach people of all ages and backgrounds in the conversation.
