SCIENTIFIC ERROR #1: The Earth is older than the stars in the sky.

 Scientific Errors in Genesis

1. The Earth is older than the stars in the sky.  

According the Chapter 1 of Genesis, God made the Earth, the Sun, the moon, the stars in the sky, and all of the plants and animals, including human beings, in just six days.

According to Chapter 1 of Genesis, the planet Earth was initially created on day one, but it was completed on day three, when God formed dry land and created plants (Genesis 1:1-13): 

 

On the fourth day, God created the Sun, the moon, and the stars in the sky (Genesis 1:14-19):

 So, According to the Bible (i.e. Genesis), the planet Earth came into existence BEFORE the stars in the sky came into existence.  

According to modern scientific study of our universe, many stars began to exist long before the Earth began to exist.  The planet Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.  There are many stars that are only millions of years old, and the Earth began to exist before those stars, but there are also many stars that are five to ten billion years old, and those stars are older than the Earth.  There are even some stars that are twelve to thirteen billion years old.

Some of the stars we can see in the sky are older than the planet Earth. The star Aldebaran is the brightest star in the zodiac constellation of Taurus, and that star is about 6.4 billion years old.  The star Arcturus is the brightest star in the Bootes constellation, and that star is about 7.1 billion years old.  Phi Aquarii is a binary star system in the constellation of Aquarius, and it is about 11.0 billion years old. 

Some very old stars are located in the galactic halo of the Milky Way galaxy.  Cayrel's star, for example is about 12.5 billion years old. Caffau's star, seen in the constellation of Leo, is about 13 billion years old. Sneden's star is also about 13 billion years old.

Thus although many stars began to exist after the Earth began to exist, many stars are older than the Earth, including stars in our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and including stars that we can see in the sky above the Earth.  Therefore, the claim in Genesis that the Earth came into existence BEFORE the stars in the sky came into existence is false.  Many stars in the sky are much older than the planet Earth.
