I'll watch this one too. I've never seen the young-earth types in action on one of these threads before. I'm guessing that their position is that the earth is only about 6000 years old, give or take a millenia. The ones who so vehemently defend that if it's not in the Bible, it didn't happen have always intrigued me. I'm by no means an atheist, but I'm also under no impression that God was obligated to tell us everything about the universe when the Bible was written.

There's a difference between believeing something didn't happen because it isn't reported in the Bible and believing it didn't happen because it contradicts what is reported in the Bible. I'm not aware of any, much less most, YECs doing the former.
