AiG accepts evolution!!

Has Answers in Genesis compromised their own creationist theology?

  • Yes - "white hole cosmology" is an evolutionistic theory

  • No - you can still be a YEC and believe the universe has aged billions of years

I'm disappointed to hear you use words like 'alchemy' and 'clueless' when referring to brothers in the Lord who are working hard to advance the gospel. PhDs, no less.

When I said "clueless", I did so with tongue in cheek. (I would have hoped that was obvious.)

I have no doubt that many of these brothers work hard to advance the gospel -- away from the whole creation science venture. But I hope you are not implying that they are advancing the gospel via creation science. I sincerely believe that creation science is not a gospel ministry, and if anything it hinders and disrupts gospel ministry.

I'm glad to hear that. It wasn't obvious to me; but I'm new here, so I'm sure I miss context that others take for granted.

Different people have different needs. I can say with confidence that an exposure to creation science has helped me in my walk. I studied physics in college (more than 25 years ago, yikes), and always had a problem reconciling Genesis with what I was taught there. Although I didn't lose my faith over it, I know others have.

I have absolutely no doubt that creation science has been beneficial for many Christians such as yourself. However, I personally believe that this is a case of God working in all things (good and bad) for the good of those who love him. (Romans 8:28) In the same way, I could look back upon my own upbringing in a legalistic, ultra-fundamentalist church which was full of unbiblical doctrines -- yet without this upbringing I may not even be a Christian today.

Personally, I think that creation science and "creation ministry" does more damage to Christianity than good. I cannot support this with facts or figures. It is just based on my experience of people who ridicule Christianity because it is (supposedly) anti-science, anti-intellectual, obscurantist, fundamentalist, etc. There is no need for Christianity to have this kind of reputation; yet it continues to be fostered by AiG & co.
