Aren't all Christians "creationists". Without the "young-Earth" and "old-Earth" titles, all Christians believe God created everything through one process or another... right?
ETA He did say "A Creationist Creed" though. Not "The Creationist Creed" which is important.
That's right, to worship Christ as Savior and Lord is to worship him as Creator. The age of the earth is irrelevant to the doctrine of creation since all we really know about that is that it was in the beginning. The creation of man and the unbroken relative dates are another matter entirely. The universe and the earth may well be billions of years old but life on this planet started about 6,000 years ago.
1.) We believe the Earth is 6,000 years old.
2.) We believe that biologists have no idea what they are talking about.
3.) We believe that Darwin was the Devil Incarnate.
4.) We believe that astrophysicists have no idea what they are talking about.
5.) Right, that's the really important stuff out of the way, and now we had better say something about God.
Darwinian atheistic materialists don't get to write our creed, we already did:
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made. The Nicene Creed
That, by the way, is considered the most concise confession of Christian conviction in church history or among Christians at large. It starts with a confession of God as Creator, followed by a confession of the Incarnation, affirming Christ is Creator. Also, that confession is the rule of thumb for Christian profession on Christian Forums.
Creationists include the creation of the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1), life in general (Genesis 1:21) and man in particular (Genesis 1:27). This special creation is 'divine fiat', 'ex nihileo' and even miraculous interpolation. The KJV simply translates it 'created'.
Create ‘bara’ (H1254) - 'This verb has profound thological significance, since it has only God as it’s subject. Only God can create in the sense implied by bara. The verb expresses the idea of creation out of nothing...all other verbs for “creating” allow a much broader range of meaning. (Vines)
Which is diametrically opposed to Darwinian naturalistic assumptions:
The doctrine that species, including man, are descended from other species. All change in the organic, as well as in the inorganic world, being the result of law, and not of miraculous interposition. (Darwin, On the Origin of Species)
We accept all legitimate scientific research, withholding the Darwinian naturalistic assumptions being even scientific, let alone legitimate.
Have a nice day troller
