Human Remains That Are 230,000 Years Old?

In my previous post we discussed that the Bible dates the creation of Adam to about 6000 years ago.  Today this article was front and center on Google News claiming they have human remains that date to 230,000 years ago.  They both can’t be true.  Of course this is not a salvation issue but ultimately Bible readers will need to wrestle with what, how and when humans were created. Many, many people have lost their faith over secular attacks on Genesis.

 The remains – known as Omo I – were found in Ethiopia in the late 1960s, and scientists have been attempting to date them precisely ever since, by using the chemical fingerprints of volcanic ash layers found above and below the sediments in which the fossils were found.

An international team of scientists, led by the University of Cambridge, has reassessed the age of the Omo I remains – and Homo sapiens as a species. Earlier attempts to date the fossils suggested they were less than 200,000 years old, but the new research shows they must be older than a colossal volcanic eruption that took place 230,000 years ago. The results are reported in the journal Nature.
