Young-Earth Creationism
This view interprets Genesis 1 and the rest of the Bible literally. The Earth and all its life forms were created in six 24-hour days, and the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.
Young-earth sites:
What about scientific evidence pointing to an old earth?
See Answers in Genesis' articles on geology.
What's the age of the universe? What about stars that are millions of light-years away?
See Answers in Genesis' articles on astronomy and astrophysics, in particular How can we see distant stars in a young Universe?
Aren't the creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2 contradictory?
See Were animals or humans created first?
Don't creationists use poor logic and science?
While there have been poor arguments advanced in favor of creationism, one shouldn't dismiss all creationists or creationist arguments. Answers in Genesis has an article on arguments creationists should not use.
Top 10 Challenges
- Your all-powerful God created the devil and evil - simply to set up "the fall." He did this KNOWING that most souls would ultimately suffer eternal punishment. You call this a good God? I call it evil.
- If God is all-powerful, all-knowing and all-loving, why does he PERMIT starvation, child molestation, rape, torture and genocide? And telling us these VICTIMS suffer because of an inherited sin committed by Adam and Eve does not suffice!
- Questions For Atheists (*) REGARDING:
- There is no scientific evidence for the existence of God...just assertions.
- Dennis McKinsey single-handedly disproves Biblical inerrancy in his book, "Biblical Errancy" - your team should read it.
- Atheism is the DEFAULT position. The burden of proof is on the Christian asserting God exists. All we're asking is to see the convincing emperical EVIDENCE.
- So you believe in a book full of contradictions, one that endorses slavery, incest, murder, drowning babies, genocide and stoning homosexuals?
- Jesus is a borrowed myth dressed up like a Jew. He never existed, period. There is zero SUFFICIENT evidence that Jesus ever existed? Zero. It’s all a terrible hoax for the church to control the masses.
- If I were raised in India, I’d most likely be a Hindu. You would be a Muslim if raised in Saudi Arabia. Is it ‘fair and just’ of God to have billions of people’s eternal destinies determined by “God’s Divinely ordained” place of birth?
- If I believed in god, which I don't, why would I choose Christianity over any other religion?
