This is funny, because I've been thinking about this today.
It's been a long, long time since I've heard mention of this, but I certainly do remember being 'exposed' to this way of thinking when I was younger, and encountering it when I was just beginning my first inquiries into evolution and creation.
I wonder, was this part of mainline creationist thinking back then? Or was this a fringe view? |

I seriously doubt it. Actually, until the '60's, when Henry Morris (who by the way passed on last Saturday, God rest his soul) wrote The Genesis Flood, YEC was as almost much a fringe view as geocentrism is today. |

I seriously hope not!
Satan is guilty of a great many things... but burrying dinosaur bones? That's laughable to me. I think there are better explinations behind marrying together the fossil record and YEC view than this one.  |

I.e. Satan is responsible for the whole of creation.

Blaming Satan or crediting Satan with such things has got to come from some serious misunderstanding of scripture, if it is even Christians spreading such things.
It is not difficult to accept the YEC POV and understand that God did not create things in a state as if they were newborn. Adam was a man, not an infant, and neither was the universe created in infancy, it was created as if it had already been there, in my understanding and view point. | | |
