A Summary of YEC/OEC Website Activity

29 September 2014

 

Answers in Genesis

 

Down Down, or Up Up? - Another plug for donations to the Ark Encounter

 

Ark Encounter - A Great Evangelistic Outreach - Keeping the Ark Encounter in their followers minds, for the purpose of promoting monetary gifts

 

Creation Basics: Four Ways to Destroy the Creation Account - The popular old earth belief systems are inserted into the 'four ways':

 - Opening the Door to Compromise

- Straying from the Plain Meaning of the Text

- Denying the Plain Meaning of the Text

- Abandoning the Text

What they don't mention is that you can believe in old earth creationism without falling into these 'four ways'.  While it is true that many old earth creationists have abandoned the literal reading of creation, many, including some theistic evolutionists, accept a literal Genesis.

 

Creating Confusion in Genesis with Hugh Ross - There is no confusion to us old earthers. However, since Ross' interpretations of science and Scripture clearly rule out a young earth, AiG must attack all of his ideas.

 

Creation Ministries International

 

Answering Fools' Folly - A story of an encounter with an evolutionist. True, the Scriptures are a great guide to evangelism, but they should not lead one to a false story about a young earth.  I wonder how effective the YEC ministries would be if they combined evangelism with an old earth interpretation?

 

Dark Matter and the Standard Model of particle physics - a search in the 'Dark' - A lengthy article by a YEC scientist about dark matter. If you want to learn about dark matter, ask a dark matter expert, not a YEC!

 

Meaning, and why does God allow suffering? - Response to reader questions.

 

Institute for Creation Research

 

Cambrian Fossil Intensifies Evolutionary Conundrum - Another YEC attack upon the Cambrian explosion. It says in the opening, "According to evolutionary reckoning, a massive explosion of new life supposedly spawned dozens of brand-new fully formed body plans about 530 million years ago. How could so many novel body plans emerge in such a short time while today's emergence rate of new body plans is zero?"  The Cambrian lasted millions of years...but today's emergence rate of zero is based on 200 years of observations.  Let's wait a few more million years and ask the question again, since our 'sample size' is much to small.

Did you know that you can be a Christian, and believe that the earth is billions of years old?  You can even believe in evolution and be a Christian.  There is no conflict between science and the Bible...all one needs is a proper understanding how to merge science and the Bible.  To learn more about old earth creationism, see Old Earth Belief, or check out the article Can You Be A Christian and Believe in an Old Earth?  

 Feel free to check out more of this website.  Our goal is to provide rebuttals to the bad science behind young earth creationism, and honor God by properly presenting His creation.
