You are probably right. But I am so tired of creationism having to take a back seat. The body of evidence is growing daily to support the creation model; and it is dwindling fast for the evolution model.

A Young Earth Creationist

I am an Old Earth Creationist, and I am not sure why you are a Young Earth Creationist, because a Young Earth is incompatible with Creation.

Let me explain.

It has to do with relativity, and not the E=mc^2 kind. If a man that was reported to be 98 stood before you, would you call him old, young, or don't know? (clue:most would answer "old" because he is closer to death than to birth). Likewise, many Christians believe that we are living in the "Last Days" which would imply that the Earth is approaching its death, and is thus closer to its "death" than to its "birth". Furthermore, according to Scripture, of all creating things, the Earth is the oldest object in the Universe (Sun,moon and stars come four days later). Ergo, the earth is the oldest object in the universe and is by many people's estimation quickly approaching it's death, that, by definition would make it "old" not "young".

So how are you a "Young Earth Creationist"?
