After almost a year of doing this, eventually I had to admit that the evidence (scientific, historical, etc.) did not agree with my atheism. Instead, the biblical account of history was true. I didnt like this, though. If the Bible were true, then I was a sinner who deserved judgment. But I had to admit that this is where the evidence led.
After struggling with this for a while, I finally realized that yes, I am a sinner. And God knows my sin better than I do. But He also loves me enough to have sent His Son to pay for it in my place. I realized that, truly, the gospel is Good News. What better news could there be? At that point, I accepted the Lord and became a Christian.
There are many people who believe in creation because they are Christians. I am one for whom the opposite sequence is trueI became a creationist first, and a Christian afterward.

The accidental orbital capture of objects is rubbish or we would have thousands of captured asteroids in orbit around the earth. As it is, satellites need periodic adjustments to stay in orbit.
Go figure!
Thanks, fishtank.

The first real change in my opinions bout old earth and young earth creationism came about when granite and polonium halos were discussed. One of the funniest arguments against polonium halos ended with “this hypothesis cannot accommodate the many alternative lines of evidence that demonstrate a great age for the Earth.” If one fact shows up the theory, maybe those other lines of evidence need to be reviewed.
The kicker for evolution was the fact that once a new species (change in chromosome number) occurred, who the heck did it mate with. Hopeful monsters aside, the mathematics alone make it impossible.
