Physics: dating systems and measuring ages. Salvation by works is related to evolution: transmuting a sinner into a saint. The Bible makes faith contingent on historical reality.

True biblical faith is locked into historical reality. Evolution is a modern statement of an ancient idea: continuity of being. Dating systems to measure the age of the earth: non-terrestrial clocks (which are more speculative and require a longer chain of conjecture). Not all constants show an earth of great age. For “theological” reasons, cosmologists assume a universe with no center and no boundaries. A theory explaining a universe with both continuities and discontinuities.
