Religious Beliefs That Science Has Debunked (But People Still Cling To)
1. The Earth is only a few thousand years old. Many religious texts suggest the Earth came into existence within a timeframe of a few thousand years ago. However, overwhelming scientific evidence points to the Earth being approximately 4.54 billion years old, per the National Geographic Society. This evidence comes from radiometric dating, studies of geological formations, and fossil records.
2. Humans and dinosaurs coexisted. Some interpretations of religious texts might make it seem as though humans and dinosaurs walked the Earth together. However, the last dinosaurs (other than birds) died out around 66 million years ago, long before the earliest species of modern humans evolved, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) confirms.
3. A global flood covered the entire Earth as described in the Bible. The story of Noah’s Ark is a central narrative in many faiths. However, there’s no geological evidence to support a recent global flood that covered even the highest mountains. However, the geological record tells a story of gradual changes over vast timescales rather than such a catastrophic event, per Smithsonian Magazine.
