The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23, ESV
With all that is evil and wrong in this world, we can trust our faithful and loving God who controls and guides everything according to His will.
“For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish.”
Jeremiah 31:25, ESV
This world is full of pains and problems and fears. God is the only one who can fully heal and give peace.
To add to the list of things that work against Dr. Ross’s understanding of Creation, many Earth scientists were certain the age of Earth’s core was anywhere from 1.3 billion to 4.5 billion years old (4.5 by being the age of the Earth in their view), but new research suggests it is only 1-1.3 billion years old. The old minimum became the new maximum, and some think it may be younger.
In other words, more confirmation that the Old Earth models are further from consensus while getting progressively younger, contrary to what Dr. Ross has repeatedly stated in this book.Daniel
To finish his book Dr. Ross proposes a way that he thinks will bring resolution to the choice between the “creation-day controversy”. Whether you’ve been following the chapter reviews up to this point or not, you might be able to guess what Dr. Ross proposes as the solution:
Interpretations of Evidence!
Those who have been following along know that he would NOT choose the highest authority – God’s Word.
Given that various creation perspectives are readily testable, a pathway exists for peaceful resolution of creation-day controversies. With so much scientific data and many different biblical creation accounts open for investigation, little basis remains for conflicts or disputes over creation doctrines.

Colossians 3:12, ESV
We have truth and grace on our side. As we live with fallen people and the faithful still being sanctified, let us remember we were lost and are being changed, so that we can faithfully serve others in the name of Christ.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1, ESV
Understanding, compassion, and empathy usually work better than accusation, blame, blunt indifference, and even simple advice.
Truth is necessary, as is remembering to honor the emotional state and image of God in the other person.
It is not about being right but loving in truth.

The greatest among you shall be your servant.
Matthew 23:11, ESV
Our Creator and Lord served His Creation during His earthly ministry.
How much more should we love others sacrificially and serve them?
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight” yourselves in rich food.
Isaiah 55:1-2, ESV
We drink of the Holy Spirit, the milk of the Gospel, and wine of the blood of Christ; and we eat the bread of the body of Christ. For full meat, we dig into theology and deep things of Scripture while serving God.
These are things money cannot buy.
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
1 Timothy 2:5-6, ESV
Jesus came at the perfect time to teach us truth and save our souls, and now He sits at the right hand of the Father to rule and contend for us.
The Holy Spirit now empowers us to point others to our Savior.
