"Leap Seconds": Further Proof Of A Young Earth
A 'leap second’ is added yearly to sync atomic clocks to the earth's declining rotation.
Leap seconds indicate a 6 thousand-year-old earth (the Biblical view).
“As the earth slows its rotation, the moon spirals away from the earth. Therefore, in the past the earth spun more rapidly and the moon was much closer to the earth. Direct computation shows that the earth and moon would have been in contact about 1.3 billion years ago. Even a billion years ago the moon would have been so close to the earth that tides would have been a mile high. No one—including those who believe that the earth is far older than a billion years—thinks that tides were ever that high or that the moon and the earth touched a little more than
a billion years ago.”

What About The Unpardonable Sin? (Matthew 12: 31-32)
Can The Unpardonable Sin Be Committed Today?
https://www.apologeticspress.org/APContent.aspx?article=5152
“Some scholars have set forth the idea that the unpardonable sin is not a single sin at all, but is instead the stubborn condition of a person who persists in unbelief. This understanding, however, fails to take into account the immediate context of the “unpardonable sin.”
- Kyle Butt, Apologetics Press
“The text implies that those who commit the eternal sin continue to live while having lost all opportunity of salvation; whereas those who postpone obedience to Christ (except those who commit the eternal sin) could have obeyed at any time previous to their death.”

Evolutionists Pushing Sun Worship In Public Schools
“Our ancestors worshipped the sun. They were far from foolish. It makes good sense to revere the sun and stars because we are their children. The silicon in the rocks, the oxygen in the air, the carbon in our DNA, the iron in our skyscrapers, the silver in our jewelry—were all made in stars, billions of years ago. Our planet, our society, and we ourselves are stardust.”

The Historical Christ—Fact or Fiction?
Ancient writings outside the Bible, pagan and Jewish, actually record the existence of a man named Jesus Christ who was crucified in early 1st Century Judea?
Pagan Sources
Tacitus (56-117 AD)
Suetonius (120 AD)
Pliny the Younger (110-111 AD)
Celsus (2 AD)
Lucian of Samosata (2 AD)
Thallus (52 AD)
Mara Bar-Serapion (70 AD)
Phlegon (80-140 AD)
Jewish Sources
Babylonian Talmud (300 AD)
Josephus (1 AD.)
Toledot Yeshu (1,000 AD)
“Even if we did not have the New Testament or Christian writings, we would be able to conclude from such non-Christian writings as Josephus, the Talmud, Tacitus and Pliny the Younger, that: 1) Jesus was a Jewish teacher, 2) many people believed Jesus performed healings and exorcisms, 3) Jesus was rejected by the Jewish leaders, 4) Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate in the reign of Tiberius, 5) despite this shameful death, his followers, who believed Jesus was still alive, spread beyond Palestine so that there were multitudes of them in Rome by 64 A.D., 6) all kinds of people from the cities and countryside—men and women, slave and free—worshiped Jesus as God by the beginning of the second century.”
