A Christian View of Everything: THE IMPORTANCE AND VALIDITY OF READING GENESIS AS HISTORY
The same tricks and methods used to suppress the health risks of cigarette smoking for 50 years are still being used to control and shape “The Narrative” on climate, abortion health risks to the woman, and crazy as it sounds- the age of earth and the universe.
You ask, besides scientists who love arguing about these matters and getting research grants, "who cares"?
1-- Christians who want to trust their Bible. It directly traces the ancestry of Jesus, listing every name, from Adam and Eve to Jesus. This makes the universe and earth around 6000 years old according to scripture. If Christians lose trust in their Bible by extension they have to lose their trust in what Jesus says including how the Bible says we should live to make society a better place. I.e. No sex outside marriage and a Heterosexual relationship- one wife for life only as the Bible 's very clearly stated ideal. Studies are clear, It's the best way to raise to minimize physical and emotional pain, and the best for children, the family, the school, university, the village and the entire earth.
And 2--Climate alarmists. The Biblical young earth was shaped by a massive global flood which is supported by the measurable observable evidence. A young earth gives a completely different and more hopeful perspective on climate change
As described in the introduction to Video #1, there is a “playbook” of tricks and methods used by those who wish to deceive. That playbook has created “The Narrative: which has seeped into the church.
Of the more than 100 ways to determine the age of the universe, almost all point to a young earth. The recent discovery of still hot planets when they were expected to be cold, the earths decaying north magnetic poles, the amount of silt washed into the oceans etc all point to a young earth. Yes there is a way to explain stars billions of light years away. https://creation.com/age-of-the-earth
I personally find the most compelling however is Mitochondrial Eve. The genetics scientific community speak of a real literal woman who everyone on earth descended from. Some date her about 150,000 to 200,000 years ago. (A mere blink compared to the millions it was supposed to be) But within that group, some say the DNA degradation generation by generation is even more significant, placing her only about 6000 years ago- completely consistent with the Bible’s Adam and Eve. Mother of all humans lived 200,000 years ago: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/08/100817122405.htm,

Please watch this presentation for more evidence and an explanation of why a young earth and a trustworthy Bible is so very important to the church.
