Although I'm a very liberal Christian, I've found that the Creationists are apparently largely correct about the age of the Earth and about evolution. I don't care much about the topic of evolution. But, if the Earth is fairly young, then evolution shouldn't have much effect anyway. By the age of the Earth I really mean the age of the Earth's surface. The probability is that the Great Flood did deposit nearly all of the sedimentary rock strata a few thousand years ago and the fossils were formed in the strata at that time for the most part. A few hundred years after the Flood, a large asteroid hit the former supercontinent and broke it up and caused rapid continental drift. This moved the northern continents northward, which suddenly froze the animals there and started the Ice Age. The best site about this is http://newgeology.us .
