The Heat Problem

The heat problem refers to the immense amount of heat that would have been generated during the rapid radioactive decay required by Young Earth Creationism’s timeline of a 6,000-year-old Earth. According to this model, a vast number of radioactive isotopes would have decayed in a very short period, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the form of heat.

Why it Destroys Young Earth Creationism

The Gutsick Gibbon explains that this rapid radioactive decay would have produced enough heat to:

  • Vaporize the Earth’s oceans: The intense heat would have turned all water on Earth into steam, making the planet uninhabitable.
  • Melt the Earth’s crust: The heat would have liquefied the Earth’s surface…

I have lately been constructing arguments against God and the supernatural. I have proven that stuff doesn't exist with science equations. I aspire to be great.
