What are your thoughts on young earth creation? Do you believe in it, is it necessary to believe in it, and is attempting to fit evolution into Genesis tampering with the word of God? Why or why not?

We are saved by faith in Jesus Christ, not by faith in an 19th century theological dogma.is it necessary to believe in it,
If someone rewrote Genesis to tell that kind of factual history and replaced the original with the modified version, I guess that would be tampering. But I'm not aware that anyone has done that.and is attempting to fit evolution into Genesis tampering with the word of God?
Gah. I'm writing from my phone and the borders of the thread are so mega gigantic it is making composing a lengthier post challenging, so for now I'll just write that I'm in agreement with the statements by Wiltor, Ebia, and Darth Bagel that YEC is not only unnecessary but detrimental.
Darth, could you kindly edit your post and remove the s from the https in the link so the thread format will hopefully normalize? The video should still play properly, but in a smaller size with the http instead https. I really do like that scene, btw. Thank youuuuuuuuu.

I don't think that "getting the creation story right" is detrimental to our salvation. If it were so, Christ and his apostles would have affirmed such a dogma and made certain that those who sought salvation did the same. But as we know, the scriptures don't tell us to "believe in Christ and the creation story exactly as it's written and you shall be saved".
I actually think Darren Aronofsky nailed his illustration of how theistic evolution blends together the creation poem with science in his movie Noah.
"And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
I tried it, but it didn't affect the margins. Sorry mate.
Got it.
I never knew the prefix was the culprit, ya learn something new every day!
"For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me."
John 5:46
Interesting... so... you say the Tree of Life in the garden story is or is not, itself, Jesus?
So, when Jesus says that Moses wrote of him...
He's referring to the countless prophecies, foreshadowings, and allusions to Him within the Pentateuch, of which there are a significant amount in the first eleven chapters of Genesis.
But not the Tree of Life, just to be clear? There was a physical tree that give you Life if you eat from it, independent of whether you have faith in Christ?
