Book Recommendation - OEC

[Samaritan Woman]

I subscribe to Old Earth Creationism (YECs please save your arguments and attempts to sway me otherwise - I've been down the Ken Hamm road before). Anyway, being a fan of Hugh Ross' ministry Reasons to Believe, I try to read the online science articles regarding Neanderthals, dinosaurs, etc. but the papers are so technical that it goes somewhat over my head. Can anyone steer me toward a somewhat more simple OEC book regarding Genesis? Thank you!

Easy to understand Old Earth Creationism

JustMeSee,

The link you attached simply leads to a pro-evolution website. Not interested whatsoever; I got the impression that you're simply trying to promote evolution and sway me to your side when I never asked for it. Or am I missing something and incorrect in my assumption?

Old Earth Evidence.

By OEC, do you mean that God created the earth directly, or God created the processes that would eventually cause the earth to be created?

No need to ask this question. That is something the OEC book should address.

Frankly, I can not come up with any such book. I think the basic idea of OEC is that God creates the processes and the objects would take a long time to be made through the processes.

So, the nebula hypotheses would be one possible origin of the earth. Basically, the concept is evolutional rather than creational, only not related to life.

Don't you mean angels?

OEC as opposed to the Young Earth Creationists like ministries "Answers in Genesis" that tout the earth is maximum 10,000 years old.

As stated in my original post, I flat out disagree with YECs viewpoints and am quite familiar with Answers in Genesis; in fact, I personally met and spoke to Ken Ham when I was a brand new believer while being completely indoctrinated by my southern Baptist church at the time.
