Origins TheologyForum for the discussion of Creation Science (Young/Old) vs Theistic Evolution. Discussion of Atheistic Evolution should be taken to the Discussion and Debate forums.
The structure of the account appears designed to alert us to the fact that we should not pay too much attention to the minute details. Do you really think that when God came to day one day two was no where to be found? That would take away from the idea of an infinite God for He would be as a man tunnelling through a mountain.
Hey all,
I'm a YEC who believes we all get caught up in this argument way too much. I also understand I'm probably going to get reemed by everyone in here who seems to strongly dislike YEC's...I don't care if anyone wants to be a TE...as long as they are saved. I just want people to get saved, cause when we get to see the New Earth, the Old Earth's origins will no longer matter. I personally believe God wrote what he really did. That's just my opinion. I just tend to believe that it didn't take God billions of years to make man in His own image...He spoke and we rose. And I praise Him every day for it.
And we don't care as long as you YECs don't keep trying to get it taught in schools.

There are Creationists, and there are Realists. Which one are you? - Dracil "The Bible is true, and some of it happened" - Catholic priest
"There may be many other fish in the sea, but there are just as many fishermen." - Dracil

That may be true for a lot of people, but it's not for me. I think YECism is such bad theology I don't want to see it taught in church either.

Amen to that!

I guess I'm somewhere between 7 and 8 with a touch of 6.
I've actually gotten a lot more out of the creation stories, spiritually, since I've been able to move away from the "literalist" reading and learn more about the science. In allegories, the symbolic truth is more important than any literal truth, and I find the symbolic truths present in those stories to be more illuminating, and to mesh well with the prehistoric record.

I think that is a common experience. It is like taking one's focus off of a few trees in the forest and beginning to experience the richness of the whole forest.

What other doctrine of the Bible do you not want taught in the Church?
I do not consider YEC to be a doctrine of the bible, so your question is moot.
