==A person either takes God at His Word by faith, or chooses a god of his own design, in this case creationism.
The Bible is filled with historical references and invites the believer and unbeliever alike to check them out. Indeed, the first historical reference in the Bible is Genesis 1:1!
I stand by my orginal statement.
God has said, “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein.
Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand in His holy place? He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to vanity nor sworn deceitfully.”
This is Psalm 24. It speaks to God the creator of earth and
the owner of what He has made, God the creator and owner of salvation.
If I have to accept He is my creator, I have to accept His ownership and authority over me.
I have observed creation research progress from providing interesting observations to becoming religeous apologists.
Creation is not the end all of who God is and His purpose for us.
God the creator is rejected because His ownership and authority is rejected.
