The Age of the Earth is a 1978 technical monograph (No. 7 in the Institute for Creation Research series) by Harold S Slusher, with Thomas P. Gamwell, published by the ICR / Master Books.

Overview

The monograph challenges the standard radiometric age of the Earth (about 4.5 billion years) from a young-earth creationist standpoint. Slusher argues that the assumptions underlying radiometric dating — constant decay rates, known initial conditions, and closed systems — are unreliable, and offers alternative interpretations intended to support a far younger age for the Earth.
